Hierarchy (Dystopian romance)

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Moya Gardener was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gardner. Her parents were members of the Autonomy Hierarchy class. Her father is a professional dancer while her mom is a painter/artist. Moya actually took after each of them. She is a very good dancer like her father and also an excellent painter like her mom. She started dancing at an early age of two, from the age of two just some months after she started walking well she had mastered most of the rudimentary dancing steps. She drew and painted for the fun and spent a lot of time alone either painting or drawing. She is the happiest when she is drawing, painting, or dancing. Therefore, it is not surprising also to see her doing one of these things when she is angry either, so sometimes dancing, drawing or painting could either serve as a way to clear her head when she is angry or it could also be a way to express her happiness. She carries out these activities most times as a way of self-expression.

She is a very jovial person and coupled with the fact that she was very beautiful and a lady too normally makes some people think that she is a flirt, but it is just her jovial nature. She is very accepting and always sees the best in everyone. It is difficult to see someone that Moya did not like, she even sees the good in others that have been written off by many people as being bad and like most things in life, people also find it difficult not to like her. If for no other reason, her beauty was not something to ignore easily. She has a very long hair with small lips and a face that makes you gasp in surprise at her beauty whenever you see her. She is that kind of girl that no matter your commitment to your girlfriend you will not help it but admit that she was stunning. This is also, why most girls do not like her being near their boyfriends because, with her beauty and her jovial attitude, she is irresistible for guys.

Contrary to most people's belief, she does not actually have a boyfriend, not that many have not asked to be her boyfriend. She just does not really want any emotional entanglement in her life now in the form of a boyfriend. She has seen the type of relationships that most of her girlfriends had with their so-called boyfriends and the way each ends, that quickly informed her decisions. She hates the feeling of being someone's anything and is easily irritated when someone says that she was his like he owns her. She just likes the freedom of this not having a boyfriend affords her, so she is not so eager to get into a relationship yet.

From the day Moya was born, it was almost certain which hierarchy class she would end up in, all that was needed was time for her to manifest. Everything was already planned out for her, but although her parent was in the Autonomy Hierarchy Class they did not want to make their daughter choose that class because her parent chose it but they wanted her to choose her own destiny based on what she loved doing because they understood that it was her life, not theirs. So they made sure to introduce her to many of the fun activities of the other hierarchy classes from an early age. They enlisted the help of friends and family from other hierarchy classes to teach her a thing or two about other hierarchy classes. She spent so many fun time learning about one hierarchy class and the other. However, with all the training she found herself still drifting towards the autonomy hierarchy class. Therefore, at the end, she finally abandoned the rest and focused on her now well-known destiny direction of autonomy class. However, because of her basic training in all the hierarchy classes, she grew up to be well versed in most of the basic activities and knowledge of other hierarchy classes and coupled with her high IQ she was just irresistible.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning and no one had seen Belinda. The housekeeper Deborah Sylvester who brought her breakfast could not get inside because the door was locked she thought that maybe she was still sleeping. She became alarmed when Belinda was not up by nine, so she went to see her head of security, Mr. Cooperman. She walked over to his office and was greeted by Mr. Cooperman's secretary Anna Hale.
