SECRETS OF LAROSEY ACADEMY

Chapter two 🥀

November 4th, 2023
Black Rose Chambers

I haggardly made my way to the stairs that led to the elite seniors' penthouse since the elevator had decided to break down that morning, I was so tired but they had called an urgent meeting and they said I had to make it by force.

It was already pouring outside and since I got my licence confiscated I had to walk here. I was cold, tired, wet hungry but I had no choice I had to go. At about level 36, I was out of breath so I decided to sit down to collect some air.

I wiped my face dry and I stared at my reflection in the mirror on the opposite wall.
I stared at it so hard that tears started rolling down my face. The person that was staring back at me was...... simply ...... not ..... me!

I had aged a lot as compared to most 20 year olds. I had eye bags, I was super skinny and my hair.... my once symbol of pride was no longer that healthy black virgin Asian hair it had been replaced with a mop of unhealthy neon blue hair.
What killed me the most was that I needed drugs to survive and I'm not talking about Aspirin or Pyroxycam I'm meaning Cocaine, Opium that kind of shit.
I had lost my family one by one because I had tried so hard to fit in a society that didn't want me.
It was just me and our family's failing business and debts worth billions of dollars.

"How could this happen to me in just six years?" I asked myself.

The memory of the former me flushed down on me like a fresh Sunday morning.

Flashback
10th February, 2018.

"We are here Ms Choi," my chauffeur said as he stopped the car.
I put down the novel I was reading and looked out the window.
I was awe struck when I saw the school.

"Here we are Ms! LaRosey Academy, the most prestigious school in the world." my chauffeur said.

I had flown in from Seoul to Italy. My dad had been so sad when I had been accepted. So was mom, grandpa and brother Seungcheol.
They were proud and at the same time sad because LaRosey was really far from home.

I got out of the car and took in the beauty and splendour that LaRosey Academy laid out for me. I took in all its grandiose and I was ready to face the world of these snobby rich kids.

My dad had just inherited my late grandmother's wealth and trust me it was a lot, so we were kinda new to the world of the filthy rich but mom had always groomed me and Cheol to be children of valour and pristine so fitting in wasn't going to be a problem.

"Good day young lady, could you please direct us to the Headmistress' office?" My chauffeur politely asked a strawberry blonde haired girl who happened to be passing by.

The girl stopped and pointed to the gloomy looking tower at the end of the school compound. He quietly bowed to her and led me to the building.
As we approached the building, a middle aged lady who was really gorgeous looking compared to her age and a young man about twenty eight were descending the stairs with a few staff members.

"Welcome Ms Choi, we are pleased to have you at LaRosey, I am Headmistress Wu Xiaojing and this is my secretary Yuta Nakamoto," the lady said, "are your parents here with you?"

"No ma'am, they had errands to run but they told me they'd have a video conference with you," I said.
