Being the daughter of the person who owns the school you attend, can be tough. Everyone around believes you're either a spoiled brat who only got in because their parent owns the school, or that you're a bitch who everyone fears. That's who Hope Mik...
Hope's P.O.V. I wake up the next morning with thoughts instantly in my head. I can't get Josie off my mind. Everything that happened last night was playing on repeat in my mind. The fact that she actually said my ass was nice, which meant she's looked at my ass before. Not only that but she looked hot, beautiful, cute, and breathtaking all at once. I lay there, biting my lip as I continued to think about Josie. Why can't I get her off my mind? I made sure to never get too close to people but her.. she's somehow managed to push her way closer to me. I think I might have a problem. I love being around her. But when I'm not around her, I feel weird, like as if I'm longing to be near her. As if I miss her presence. When I'm around her, I feel like I can actually be myself and not be judged. She is so sweet, caring, and absolutely amazing in every way. Oh god.. Am I falling for her? I know I care about her but I never thought this much. Damn it! I think I am falling for her. But it doesn't matter either way, she would never go for someone like me. Even if she doesn't feel the same, I still want us to be friends so I can't tell her how I feel. If I do, she might get uncomfortable and run off. I don't want to lose her. Plus, I can't have a repeat of High School. I don't believe she's like that but I never believed they weren't either. And if she isn't, the other girls might be. I groaned softly and finally get out of bed to get ready for classes. Why must emotions be like this? Once I was finished getting ready, I look at myself in the mirror. I feel like I'm going to be trying to impress Josie for awhile now because I didn't put on what I normally wear. She liked how I looked in that dress last night, so I thought, why not try something else, that she hasn't seen me in yet. So I had put on a plaid skirt, with black leggings and of course boots. For the top half, I had put on a white top and then a sweater over the top of it and of course my signature Mikaelson necklace.

Why am I trying so hard for her? Do I like her that much?! Oh damn. I shake my thoughts and take one last look of myself before leaving my room to head down stairs. I hear noises from the kitchen, telling me that someone was awake. "God Kym! Can't you do that any quieter?!" I hear Lizzie yelling but it was more of a whispering yell. I walked in and stood by the doorway. "Let me guess you girls drank too much last night, didn't you?" I asked and they turned to look at me. Kym was standing by the counter, with a bag of cereal in her hand. So that was what Lizzie wanted her to be quieter with. Lizzie sat at the table, looking so hung over that she could possibly pass out. Jen was basically already at that point because her head was laying on the table, her eyes closed and not moving one bit. Cleo and Josie, weren't even down here yet. Not seeing Josie yet, actually made me a bit disappointed. I was hoping she'd be the first person I see in the morning. Damn it, I really do have it bad, don't I? "Wow. Hope, who knew you could dress like a girl!" Lizzie said and I rolled my eyes. "Oh shut up. I wear what I want, when I want." "Yeah but did you just buy that?" She asked and I groaned softly. I don't need fashion advice, especially not from her. "No I've had it. I just don't wear it often, alright?" I asked, hoping that would shut her up. She looked like she was about to say something so I shot her a look but that didn't stop her from talking. "If you don't shut up, I'll make that hungover way worse." I said getting a bit upset. Then she stopped talking. Thank God. I don't want to hear her talk about my wardrobe and how she thinks I can do better with it. "Lizzie, not everyone wants your fashion advice." I hear Josie's voice and she walks up beside me, looking at Lizzie. "Well look at her, she looks like a girl. Who knew she had that kind of wardrobe." Lizzie said and I rolled my eyes. I turned to look at Josie, who was now looking at me. She looked speechless. Did she like what I was wearing? I looked to her eyes and they moved downwards. Was she checking me out? "Jo?" I said and she snapped out of whatever little trance she was in. I chuckled softly. "Good morning." I said and she nodded her head. "Uh, y-yeah... Good m-morning." She struggled to say but eventually said it. "I never thought I would see you in something like this." She said, which went with what her sister had been saying. "Right!" Lizzie yelled and then groaned, along with Kym and Jen. "Remember, got to be quiet Lizzie." I said and gave her a bit of a smug grin because I was teasing her about what she had said earlier to Kym. She scoffed and rolled her eyes at me. "You three better get ready because classes are starting soon." I said still being smug and teasing them about being hung over. They all groaned and I chuckled. "It was your decision to party and drink on a school night." I said and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed an apple and took a big bite as loud as I could to make them groan again. "Okay Hope, I think they've learned their lesson." Cleo said, walking into the kitchen. "Oh just one more bite won't hurt." I said and went to take another bite but hearing Josie made me stop. "Hope, come on." She said and I sighed softly. "Alright fine. I'll stop but next time I might not go so easy on them." I said with my smug grin and walked out of the kitchen. That was fun messing with them but mostly Lizzie. I walk towards the front door to leave and open the door to walk out. Right when I was about to close the door behind me, I hear Josie. "Wait up!" She said and ran up to me, leaving the house and closed the door behind her. "I'm sorry about Lizzie. She can go a little overboard when it comes to fashion." She said and I rolled my eyes. "Yeah I could tell." "But I do like your outfit. You look great." I hear her say and I smiled softly, feeling my cheeks get a little warm. I look to the ground as we walked. "Oh yeah. Thank you." I said softly. How did this woman have such an effect on me? Just one simple compliment and I turn into a fool.. a hot mess. "Well I'll see you in class later. I have to head this way or I'll be late if I keep walking with you." She said. She had another class on the other side of campus. "Yeah alright. Have a good day Jo!" I said and looked at her. "You too!" She said and rushed off to the other side of campus. I couldn't help myself, as I watched her walk off. She looked beautiful. My eyes wandered lower and they caught her ass. I remember last night, how she accidentally said I had a nice ass and I returned the compliment. I felt myself blushing brightly so I quickly turned my head and tried to focus. I had to get to class. But at the same time, I knew I couldn't focus anymore because a certain brunette wouldn't leave my mind. I didn't want her to get close to me because of my issues but I couldn't control it. Just like I can't control what I feel when I'm around her or how I miss her when we were apart. No matter how much I may like her, I know I will never be with her. One, she probably would never feel the same way for me. And two, what if she's not who I think she is? What if I make the same mistake I made in high school? I can't let that happen. I guess I'll just have to get over these feelings.
