CONFLICT

CHAPTER ONE

I woke up early today for my home classes. That's right, Im home schooled, which means I dont even have a single friend. Being home schooled is so borring. But today is different, thats because today is my last day of being home schooled. My so called father finally realized that I need to be around people my age, well its about time! It took him 16 years to realized it. But oh well, its worth the wait.

The next day I woke up seeing my new school uniform, it was neatly hung over my big mirror, I guess the maids had prepared it when I was still asleep since they are not allowed to talk to me, another damn rule my father had given, my life sucks doesnt it?. Oh well, I directly took a warm bath and wore my uniform. I feel different wearing it, I usually wear expensive designer clothes but it doesnt do me any justice, but now while wearing just an ordinary school uniform I suddenly felt different, for the first time in my whole life i felt happy.

*********

Five minutes after I finished eating and gotten everything ready for my first day of school I headed to the driveway but I was surprised on what I saw. Their stood in front of me is my dad's personal butler for as long as I could remember, Travis. He never usually comes here, he is always wherever my father is.

" Good day to you, Miss Lucia." he formally implied with his french accent.

" What are you doing here?" i said with an angry tone knowing that my father had sent him here and it's usually for a bad reason.

" Your as energetic as ever, Miss Lucia. Well, to answer your question, Im here as a request from your father...."

I knew it!. It's my father again. What is it now that he wants?Did he change his mind about me going to school? I hoped not.

"...he sent me here to inform you that your father had provided you with your own butler. He will be with you at all times. Lets just say its a gift from your father to..." he said with a smirk on his face.

Before he finished his sentenced, I cut him of.

" I dont need a butler! I can take care of myself. Im not a baby. I dont need someone to baby sit me." i said angryly and glaring at Travis.

"..but your father clearly said that you need a butler. And Im afraid that I cant disobey orders from your father." looking at Travis saying those words made me even more angry. But then I decided to calm myself down.

Calm down, Lucy. You'll ruin this grate day. Just dont think about this and just go to school. Remember, this is your time to enjoy yourself and be normal.

"..you know what? I'll go with it. I accept his so called gift. I just want to go to school. I dont want to be late on my first day.". I said with a fake smile on my face.

" Ok then. If theirs anything you need you can just tell your butler..."

" Ok.ok. no need to explain. I know how this works. I've been around butlers and maids all my life remember?" me being so sarcastic.

" Well then I must go. Nice seeing you again, Miss Lucia" he then headed to our private helicopter beside our mansion and took off.

I was staring at the choper as it became smaller and smaller flying off to who knows where, but then I didnt realize that the butler that my father had given me is constantly looking at me. It ticked me off a little bit.

" Why are you looking at me like that?!" crossing my arms and raising my brows. Well, so much for a good first impression. I just dont like the way he looked at me. But he was still staring at me. " Hello!, earth to butler!".. snapping my fingers to snap him out of it.

" oh!, my apologies, Miss Lucia. Im just not used to looking at beautiful women". looking down trying not to make eye contact with me.

Is he saying that Im beautiful? I suddenly turned red upon hearing him say those words, its the first time I ever heard someone complementing me. What should I do? I cant let him see me blushing like this.

"W-What? Keep dreaming, but butlers like you are not my type, EXCUSED ME!" I went passed him and went to the car.

" Such beauty, but such an ugly attitude." he said while I passed him.

" What did you just say?!"..giving him an annoying look.

" Oh nothing, Miss Lucia. We should be going if you dont want to be late."

Im sure I heard him say that I have a bad attitude. How dare he! He doesnt even know me. I dont like this guy. I am so gonna fire him. Urgh!!
