[ 06 ] Demander vs Provider

hi luvs! for this chapter, I included some of the OCs from -CIARA-1436-'s fanfic. So to make it easier for you, you can look at the characters' moodboards (basically the collage thing, like the one in my introduction chapter), so you can have a some idea of how they look like hehe.

here's the link ➜

Also, road to 1k reads yayy! It'd be much appreciated if you guys can drop your comments in every chapter, I love replying to them. By reading y'all's comments, I can see what I need to improve and what I should keep up with. Anyways, if you're not comfortable leaving comments, you can always vote for my story. Comments and votes really give me motivation to write.

Okay, that's all. Happy reading <3

ESTELLE'S POV

Poposi Academy was more than just a school. It was a stage, and every single girl here was expected to play their part to perfection. For most of them, that meant upholding the legacy of their families— wealthy, powerful, influential. For me, it was carrying the Lennox name on my shoulders and trying not to fucking trip.

And as if that wasn't enough, I'm also the vice president of the student council. Yes, the second-in-command. The girl everyone expects to get her shit together, to support the president aka Su Jung, and keep everything running smoothly, and not... you know, completely lose it. It's a position everyone thinks is easier, but let me tell you, the stress is still there, just less visible.

I didn't ask for this level of responsibility, but here I am, balancing classes, meetings, and the never-ending bullshit that comes with leading a school full of girls who think they know better than you.

After giving myself a final look in the mirror, adjusting my blazer and smoothing down my skirt, I grabbed my bag and headed out of my dorm. I paused in front of Gina's door, waiting for her. It was part of my morning routine now, waiting for the Italian princess. She was like a sister to me.

As I wait for Gina, my mind racing with the million things I had to deal with today, especially the student council. Don't get me wrong, I was grateful that my student council members worked well with me. Su Jung, Neelam, Gina, Lorelei, Vivienne, Thea, they were solid.

But one thing that always gnawed at me was why the hell my best friend Maeve didn't enroll at Poposi. If Maeve was here, everything would be smoother. She always had my back, and the chaos we'd create together was legendary. But no, Princess Maeve Rosalie from Switzerland had to go to Le Rosey, all because her grandmother, the Queen, decreed it. Typical.

I let out a sigh, leaning against the wall as I thought about Gion, Maeve and me. We were similar yet different in all the ways that mattered. Almost everything we did was dictated by our families- me and Gion with our strict grandfathers and Maeve with her ever-watchful grandmother.
