Mafia Queen

Chapter 1 - The Fake Me

My name is Alexis and I am the misunderstood, rich girl. I understand why people mistake my identity. I'm good at hiding who I am and what happens in my life at home. Who I am at school is the fake me. I'm not that person. I'm better than that. The truth is, I hate makeup, waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning just to curl or straighten my hair that is mostly fake, do my makeup that can take hours, paint my nails, drown myself in products to make me smell better, cooking a meal that keeps me full but has nothing to make me fat, designing the perfect outfit that no one even notices or cares about anyway... I hate it all! I do all of this to keep my mother and step father out of the picture for them to do anything harmful to me. I have to call my step father, father or I will get beat until I bleed. This is because, I get abused by them. They hit me all of the time. I wear so much makeup to cover up the bruises on my face. I have to wear waterproof makeup just in case one of the bruises start hurting so much I cry during class. No one knows this about me. My parents don't let my friends come over until my birthday then they'll throw the biggest party for me just to keep them out of the blue. I love them both with all my heart but the feeling is not neutral. They hate me and always say I was an accident and that they didn't want to have me. I cry myself to sleep every night because of them. The smile I show at school is fake. I don't like it when people ask me questions about why I'm sad so I just fake a smile. I know it's not healthy to do this but I don't know what else to do.

I wake up at 5 o'clock like every other morning and do the same morning routine I do every day. Hair, makeup, nails, beauty products, breakfast and perfect outfit. Ugh I hate this stupid routine! I have to walk to school everyday which is only about a 20 minute walk because my parents think and say I'm fat and need exercise. I don't sweat from the walk because it's not that long but god it's hard to walk that far in heals! I walk over to my friends and obviously because I'm the richest I am the most popular. I hate being popular. People would probably jump in front of a bus just to get out your way. It's like they're scared of you. I never liked it. I try to be nice to everyone but my other friends aren't nice to them which make them run like their life depends on it. I never say anything to my friends because the last thing I need is more drama. I gossip with my group all morning, every morning. In our group we have 4 girls and 3 boys. The girls are me, my friend Olivia but we all call her Livy, my, more of a fake friend, Akira and my best friend, Paris. The boys are my friend Austin, my other best friend, Aaron and my nemesis, Blake. I have never liked Blake but I'll tell you more about that in a second. First, the people who matter and their relation to my life.

Olivia- Olivia is really sweet. She has always been there for me. I know she's a loyal and trusting friend because one time Paris and I catfished her and she stuck up for me saying really sweet and meaningful things about me. We are pretty close but the only reason I don't classify her as my best friend is mostly because she talks about boys way too much for my liking and even worse, she always tries to steal the guys Paris likes or is dating. I love the girl and she's such a good friend, but, unfortunately for her I just don't like a lot of what she does.
Akira- I don't even want to get started on Akira because I'm scared I won't be able to stop! But I'll tell you anyway. Akira and I have never gotten along. She always calls me ugly and said that I know it and that's why I wear so much make up. She said that I'm a slut because on my hair extensions and she said all of this in front of the school. She then called me to the stage then when I got there she ripped my hair extensions out. The whole school gasped. I stood there not embarrassed at all. She should be the one embarrassed because she made a complete fool of herself in front of the school. I obnoxiously laughed to get the hint to her that I didn't care then after about 3 seconds of silence the whole school started laughing at her and calling her names. She totally pulled it on herself. She's just jealous of what I have and she doesn't. She started crying on stage then ran off. As she had done so I started to talk to the school. "Hello my fellow schoolmates! I would just like to address that I am proud of who I am no matter how much of it is fake! I love my hair extensions and fake eyelashes and everything else about myself, and you should too! You don't need everything I have to be beautiful. All you need to do is be confident and squat!" I saw Akira run to the back of the hall in tears and I flashed her a "friendly" smile. I then handed the microphone over to another student representative and sat down. A teacher leaned from her chair and whispered to me "I am proud of you! That was a good way to handle it!" I flashed her a smile then focused on the assembly. After the assembly my friends were praising me on my speech until Akira came and joined the group and everything went quite. The girls were still whispering things to me and we giggled so Akira could get the message that we were bitching about her. When I was almost back from the assembly Akira tripped me over but Paris caught me before I fell. Paris then told her to get lost and she ran off crying... AGAIN! I swear the amount of tears she lets to the surface could save so many people in Africa from going thirsty.
Paris- Paris and I have been close our whole lives. Our mothers are best friends and had us about the same time on purpose so we could become friends. Paris is the only one who knows what my mother is really like. She acts like she doesn't around her though. We have been through thick and thin together and I love her unconditionally. She is the best, best friend anyone could ever dream of and I am so lucky I have her. We have done so many stupid things together and she's my second half. I couldn't even imagine life without her. She backs me up all the time, even when I'm not there. I've catfished her multiple times and every time she sticks up for me. Obviously she found out it was me after a while but she still fell for it every time!
Austin- Austin is pretty cool. We aren't very close but we still get along fine. He only knows me as who I am at school but he still accepted me and it's great. He's funny and crazy and risk taking. Paris is crazy in love with him! But I can't tell him until she's ready and I totally understand that. She has had a crush on him since year 5 and were in year 11 now! Crazy! I know! Austin and I have only hung out once with just us two and he took me to an amusement park. It was so fun! He took me on all of these crazy things that I wouldn't usually want to go one but he somehow convinced me and it was the best time I have had with him, ever!
Aaron- Aaron and I are so close. He's like my brother. I know girls say that as a friend zone but we would never even think of each other like that! The only downside to him is that Akira likes him. He doesn't like her back but she's so weird around him it makes me want to be sick! Anyway I don't want to talk about her, I want to talk about my bestie! Anyway so we go on so many crazy and wacky adventures that I can't even pick one to talk about. We've done it all! Well, not everything, like we would never do drugs or anything serious like that but I remember I went to his party once and we drank so much we went skinny dipping in his pool! Thank god his parents weren't home or I'd be slaughtered! We drank so much we only remember that we did go not what actually happened thank god or I'd probably never look at him the same. He takes me on so many amazing adventures I can't believe how lucky I am to have him!
Blake- Blake isn't even that bad, he's just SOOOO annoying! I didn't even think it was possible to annoy me until I met Blake! He always talks too much and laughs so loud and he's such a play boy then talks about all the girls he's hooked up with and he ALWAYS pranks me every chance he gets and it drives me up the wall. Like I'm pretty sure it's not possible to be so annoying but he found a way. He talks really loud too and I can't stand it. An example of one of the many pranks he has played on me, he once replaced my mirror in my room with a mirror that played a scary video of a person jumping at you and then he recorded my reaction! May I add thank god my parents weren't home or he would have seen the abuse they do to me. Anyway so he recorded it then played it in assembly for the whole school to see! Students should not be able to host assembly's!

This is a very small introduction of myself and my life! (As you can see I put the very small there because you probably understood nothing!) As you read this book you will learn more about me and enjoy the story of my life!

In this chapter you basically learned that Alexis doesn't like being popular and everything you have to do to be popular, her relationship with her friends are very different from each other and her parents abuse her.

This story takes a drastic and a very unexpected twist to it. It will be a good book I swear and I will write very often as I have to write another book to write and upload on here for a school report which isn't this book but i decided it would be a good idea to get uploading on this account first before I upload the project I have! I hope that made sense!

Anyway...

Ciao Bella 💋
