The Masked Girl

Chapter 1

 7 Years Later

(Y/n)'s POV

Ah, Finally I'm back in Paris. I had to go home because my cousin recently got a leading role in a big movie and I had to congratulate her, resulting in me coming back home.

I stayed there for almost half a year since she wouldn't let me go back, but it was fun.

Anyways, now I'm back at the house my parents owned here in Paris. "I'm going to rest. Please call me when it's time for dinner," I said to Tom.

"Of course." " M'Kay, thanks, Tom."

I went to my room and passed out on the bed.

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking, "Miss, dinner's ready."

"Okay, thanks for waking me up." I stood up and stretched only to realize I didn't even remove my shoes.

Wow, I must have been exhausted.

I headed downstairs and to the dining room. Sitting down on my chair, I ate dinner. Tom was also eating on the chair beside me since he knows I'm not fond of eating alone.

"So, Little Miss, are you excited for your first day of school?" asked Tom.

"First of all, I'm not little anymore. Second, yes, since I've been homeschooled ever since coming to Paris. And third, I'm so excited to see the look on Jewel's face tomorrow."

"I'm glad to hear that, but you still look little to me," he chuckled. I playfully roll my eyes at him, giggling.

After dinner, I went back to my room and verified that everything was ready for tomorrow.

When I finished, I went to the bathroom connected to my room to take a bath. After the bath, I immediately went to sleep.

~Timeskip~

I woke up smiling. It's finally my first day of school.

I took a shower and wore a white skirt that ended just above my knees, a green 3/4 sleeve top, thigh-high socks, and a pair of flat shoes.

I grabbed my hairbrush and started to brush my hair when someone knocked on the door."Who is it?" I called.

"It's Tom."

"Oh! Come in, Tom." He entered and seized the brush out of my hands. "Let me help you."

I shook my head and took the brush back. "You need to stop treating me like a child, you know?"

"Why?"

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and muttered, "Because I'm not a child anymore."

Placing his hands on my shoulders, he smiled at me in the mirror, "Well, that's not how I see you."

Taking the brush from me, he moved to brush my hair and tied it into a that lay on my shoulder.

I thanked him as I stood up and grabbed my school bag. Then went downstairs with Tom following behind.

As soon as I went into the dining room, I saw plenty of freshly cooked breakfast waiting at the table.

"Woah! What's the occasion?"

"It is your first day of school, just as you said," Tom answered, escorting me to my chair.

I smiled at him, "Well, since there is plenty of food, why don't you call the others."

" Of course."

As soon as the other workers came, I offered them to sit - which they agreed to, albeit reluctantly - "Please join me for breakfast," I offered.

Only a few people work here to look after the house and me. So not all the seats were occupied considering the dining table is quite large.

After eating breakfast, I grabbed my bag and rushed to the front door.

"Young Miss, you forgot your glasses!" I turned around to see Anya - one of the workers- holding one of my .

I took the glasses, thanked her, then rushed out of the front door to the awaiting car parked outside.

When I entered the backseat, I noticed Tom already in the passenger seat.

"When did you get here?" He only shrugged, smirking at me.

I wore my sunglasses and checked my bag just in case I forgot something.

Thankfully I didn't, so I relaxed on the way to the school where Jewels is going.

Upon arriving, Tom and I headed straight to the principal's office. Lucky for me, there were only a few students who saw us on the way.

Tom knocked on the door and opened it when he heard a 'Come in.' We entered to see the principal, that somehow resembles an owl.

'Maybe it's the brows,' I thought to myself.

"Take a seat," the principal said, and we took a seat on the empty seats in front of the desk.

They discussed the matter, with me speaking up once in a while.

After discussing this, the principal informed me that my homeroom teacher is Miss Bustier, which I learned is also Jewel's homeroom teacher.

After wishing me good luck, Tom went home.

I headed to my homeroom with the principal's directions. Fixing my sunglasses that sat on the bridge of my nose, I knocked on the door and entered when Miss Bustier -I'm assuming- told me to come in.

''Everyone, we have a new student joining us. Now, please introduce yourself." I nodded and introduced myself.

''My name is (Y/N) (L/N).''

''Thank you (Y/N), go ahead and sit next to Nathaniel at the back." Nodding again, I peeked at the students sitting at the very back.

I'm guessing Nathaniel is the redhead. Since I already know who the other two are.

I walked to the back and sat next to the redhead, silently giggling at the shocked expression I received from Jewel and Rose.
