Gentle ruins

CHAPTER 1

  I wake up to the sudden ring of my alarm. I reach out for my phone while sitting up, I'm a light sleeper so I wake up easily in the morning. 'JUNIOR YEAR!!!' is written across the alarm going off. I hit the stop button before I get out from my bed and head towards my mirror.

Looking at myself in the mirror right now just makes me realize how much I've changed or rather I've grown. My boobs have definitely gotten bigger and I think I see my hips widening. I also grew taller; I might have even gotten prettier. My acne isn't as bad as before, in fact my face looks way smoother than before.

I head towards my bathroom and brush my teeth and go to the fridge in the kitchenette of my room space to get some water before coming back to shower. My mum made it a habit of drinking water before anything other than brushing of course. I shower before grabbing my uniform from the closet.

Cardale Heights Academy is one of the largest and elite schools in the district with seventy-five percent of the students getting into ivy leagues and top universities.

I use my palms to straighten the pleats of my school uniform skirt. I wear my  sheer pantyhose with my Mary Jane's, i usually wear my tie loose on my neck with the top button of my shirt undone so i do just that, lastly I wear the school blazer which is compulsory to wear every Monday and Tuesday. It is a deep blue color and it has our names embroidered In gold on the right side and the school badge on the left.

I head downstairs; to see Dorothy the housekeeper, she smiles at me. Mum and dad aren't down, they've probably gone to work. I sit down by the kitchen island and she passes a plate of Pancake and waffles drenched in syrup and grapes by the side with a bottle of whipped cream.

I pick all the grapes from the food and get up to head out
"Ms. Sutton, I was instructed to make sure you finish your food" Dorothy states

"I ate in the middle of the night"

"Still." She says apologetically.

I carry my car keys from the tray and leave not caring what she says, I'm not hungry, really, I'm excited to back at school if anything.

I head towards my baby, my  BMW i8,  my parents gave it to me on my sixteenth birthday. It's black and it has this stunning sleek paint that shines even with the absence of the sun.

Arriving at school I park at my reserved spot. It's one of the privileges of being a junior, well not just any junior I am the top of my class. The first, second and third have advantages, I think it's to motivate others to do better in school or something.

I get down from my car and head to the smaller gates each student has to clock in with their school ID or else your attendance isn't counted. I swipe my card opening the gate and pass-through.

Cardale heights without a doubt is a magnificent school, from the entrance alone you're drawn in. The school is massive with two pillars in front and an electric door where you also need your ID to pass through. As you step pass the door there's a student lounge that consists of sofas, a television, a round table, a play station and it's for the freshman's, each class have their own lounge on their floor.

I head towards my class; they sent the list to us over the break on the schools official app. The app is like google classroom with each teacher having their own space, and each class also for easier communication. But the layout is more of like twitter.

There Is this website called 'Scandal Society' which is used to spread the juiciest gossip or so I've heard. And I don't know how they do it but, the posts are anonymous for everybody. I could send something and no one will know it's me.

"Al! Hey!" Sage yells quite loudly since we are still in class. Sage has been friends with me since we where I think thirteen or fourteen.

"Hi" I say shortly. I don't talk much. It always over complicates stuff; I prefer going straight to the point. And the time is just seven twenty-nine meaning one more minute till it was time for assembly.

"How was your break? I know you don't like talking about 'unnecessary' stuff, but I travelled to Paris and I think I met the man of my dreams Al" she says dreamily causing me to give her a small smile.

"Sage, I think this would be your, what? Fifteenth dream man"

"And I'm sure of it this time around and-

She is cut off by the bell ringing, we aren't much in class currently, we start heading out going to the assembly hall. There are students here already, quite a lot in fact. After we all settle Principal Mayer's starts talking.

"Welcome back kids! Most of you were missed. This is a new session and I'd love for it to go very smoothly." She paused before continuing

"The school band wanted to perform something to cheer you guys up" A series of students groaned and I just crossed my legs wanting to see how it goes.

The band plays, the drama club asks for new volunteers for their latest play, some freshmen do a dance routine, probably hoping to boost their popularity or something before the assembly finally ends. It was horrible, long and boring.

"Alana have you seen the news?"  Rufus says. I don't like him much.

"No" i respond

"Check it" he says smiling

"Is it Scandal Society" Sage asks, she is really into it, i am not.

"You know it" he says before walking past us.

Sage and i keep on walking as she's checking her phone, then she stops all of a sudden, causing me too also stop.

"Al" she says with worry in her voice

"hm?"

She looks up a me her eyes darting all over my face" Lysander is back"

"..." I didn't respond.
