BEHIND THOSE EYES

Chapter one

Everyone says High school is an institution meant to mould us into the perfect model citizens. Honestly its a world where bullies are kings and the meek and small cower in corners like spiders at the sound of their footsteps. And others say senior year is the starting point in choosing your stand in life, its an important point to determine ones place in the real world and pursue that course. Others too say its a time to determine who you are and what you wanna be. But I say who cares!

I say, High school is a world where athletes rule and cheerleaders are queens. And senior year is an era of less projects and no more endless homework. Its the time to shine and leave our marks and be our own heroes, and today is the day my transition into a legend begins.

This is Vanessa Beckinsale, your one and only queen and shining star, enlightening your morning and brightening your auras. Until next time, have a nice day.

Vanessa signed off from her blog, picked up her belongings and got into her car. She drove through the huge gate protecting their mansion and headed for school. She was very excited to see her friends after the long holidays .Most of them left to visit distant relations and she was dying to listen to the stories they have to share.as for her she spent her holiday right at home and she couldn't have been happier. She got the chance to spend some quality time with her family that is her mom, her ten years old sister Kayla, David her eleven years old brother and her dad who works all the time. 

Vanessa parked her sports car in the seniors parking lot grabbed her bag from the back seat and walked into the building where she had spent two years of her life. She walked into the halls with her head held up high and an air of authority around her. 

"Hello  Vanessa." A mate of hers greeted her as she passed by. And she smiled as a reply.

"You're looking good as usual Vanessa."

"Thanks Collin." she gave him one of her killer smiles and she got a wink in return.

"Welcome to senior year Vanessa."

"Thank you Lisa." Another mate greeted her.

She received greetings from almost everyone in the hallway most of which she responded to and others she totally ignored. She deemed them unimportant and simply walked by heading towards her locker to meet her best friends but they weren't there which was unusual. She dumped the stuff she didn't need for first period into her locker and continued on her way to class.

When she got to her class she stopped at the doorway and scanned the room spotting her two missing friends deep in conversation with their classmates.

"Hello BFFS, missed me?" She called out to them and they limped off the desk and ran into her open arms. I missed you guys so much."

"We missed you more." Shane said smiling broadly at her. 

"You are right on time you almost missed all the fun."

"Oh you should hear the amazing stories the guys are sharing..." 

"...O-M-G Shane you've cropped your hair!" Vanessa exclaimed staring at her friend's cropped blond hair noticing it for the first time. Shane was a sucker for long hair so to see her in pixie style was a miracle.

"Well I met this hot French guy on a beach in Cote d'Azur who introduced me to his mom a hair stylist and she said Ma belle fille, you would look magnifique if you cut your hair short, I said why not. To be honest i think it was the accent that convinced me. So I went to her shop the next day and voila!" She said throwing her hand dramatically in front of her face.
