Li Na woke up to the sound of her phone alarm. She groaned as she placed her hand on top of her phone to turn the alarm off. For a few minutes, she laid in bed before waking her self up. All she wanted to do was stay in bed all day, the blankets were so inviting. After a few minutes, she rubbed her face before sitting up. The sun was covered by the clouds of Washington state. No sunlight shone through the curtains.

What Li Na had noticed around this area what that it was ninety percent cloudy and overcast. It always made her want to stay inside and cuddle up in her blankets. The sun was always hiding from this place.

She dragged herself out of the bed to get ready for school. There was a soft knock on the door. Li Na replied with an "enter" and one of the housekeepers came in with a small cup of tea. "Miss Chu, your tea" she held up the tray to show her, "thank you, you can place it on the table next to the chair," Li Na said as she entered the bathroom.

The closet was large, about the same size as her bedroom. The two rooms connected to each other. The closet had white cabinets and decorations. The small circular cushion stool sat in the middle of the closet. Li Na had an extensive amount of designer clothes from the years of shopping.

Li Na shuffled through some of her clothes before she picked what she liked. She didn't want to be too dressy for school, but not too careless looking. So she went with a white Gucci shirt tucked into a tan skort. She hummed as she looked at her shoe collection, her fingertips ran over her shoes. Before picking up a pair of L.K Bennett nude heels. Li Na wanted to make sure her new school knew who she was, and what she was made out of.

Moving over to the vanity space in between the bathroom and closet. Li Na finished her outfit with a light natural makeup look. She looked at herself in the mirror, the brown eyes stared back at her. Many people would mistake her as a Korean Idol due to her fashion and makeup. Li Na would never look like an ABG, she's just too classy.

Checking the time on her red Rolex watch on her left wrist. She had half an hour to finish getting ready to get to school. She posed in her mirror in the closet before going into the bathroom. The bathroom matched with the rest of her bedroom. It had grey walls and white cabinets as well. Li Na put some gold jewelry on to match her outfit.

Before walking out of the bedroom, Li Na took a few minutes to drink her tea. She took a satisfying sigh as she finished her cup, placing it back on the circular table. Quickly heading towards the door, grabbing the navy blue Fjallraven Kanken rucksack.

Li Na's heels clicked on the marble steps as she descended to see Ju Long waiting at the door. His face with a tired look, he yawned as he stretched his arm out. He held a small packed up lunch in his hand, Li Na took the bag and placed it into her rucksack. Li Na has never actually been to a real public school, she has always been at school with other rich snobs.

"Let's go to school," Ju Long said as he placed his sunglasses on his face. His Adidas pullover matched his pants and shoes. The Cadillac keys spinning on his index finger as he opened the front door of the house. Li Na pulled her Versace sunglasses out of her bag, before going to the coat closet. Taking the nude Burberry trench coat off its hanger and pulling it over her shoulders. The sudden chill of opening the door had made her quite cold.

The trip in the car was quiet as Ju Long drove Li Na to the school. The trees passed as the SUV sped through the two-lane road of La Push. Li Na fiddled with her rings on her fingers as she looked out of the window. The overcast of the sky made the day more gloomy then it should be. Li Na was even nervous about going to school, maybe she was hoping she could see the Paul guy again.
