IN THE STEEL MANSION ~Lucas POV
I slid down the silver railing and squatted at the end, flashing my mom a bright smile. My mom looked up from the breakfast that she was helping the maids set up and smiled back at me.
"Lucas, you're up. I'm guessing you're excited for school?" My mom beams and hands over the remaining plates to a nearby maid.
"Not really, I just have a feeling that today is gonna be so fucking good. School will always be the same with people treating me goddamned prince from the moon" My mom gives me a tight hug in my squatting stance.
"Well, you'll always be my prince, nothing can change that, not even your french" she says playfully.
"Good morning master, permit me to say but your father will not be happy to see you on the railings. I believe he has mentioned it quite a number of times" My personal butler, Edward says as he bows in front of my mom and I.
"Good morning to you too. Still quite the show spoiler, huh?"
Edward has been my personal butler for as long as I can fucking remember. He was one of the few workers that were actually American. Most of the maids and servants were English like us. I jump down from the railings and walk over to the unnecessary long shit piece table that my father insists we have our meals on. After having breakfast which involved me eating and pissing Edward off because I wouldn't stop chatting with my mom, I join Bradley, my personal driver in the black Lamborghini Veneno as he starts the drive to school.
My entrance is fucking dramatic as always. Everyone just stares at me like the oxygen in the air is on hang. Plus my cologne makes it more hella dramatic. Its one of a kind, and I'm the only one in the whole fucking world who wears it. One of the branches of my dad's company in Spain produces it specifically for me. How weird would it be if I wore one of the goddamned perfumes I modeled along with all my fans around the world? Before I can walk a bit further, my day is ruined by the presence of Audrea fucking Weinberg. Her face is probably covered in three layers of makeup, giving her the resemblance of a possessed barbie demon doll. Her skin was orange from the excessive tan that she sprayed on it, yet another thing that irritated me about her. Would it hurt to just be content with your natural fucking beauty?
"Hey Lucas, I watched your movie The Silencing and I must say, you were as spectacular as ever!" She gushed while pulling down the edge of her dress. Apparently, most people here are fucking afraid of her or something, since I didn't have an ocean of people wanting me to sign autographs already.I noticed something black on the floor. Actually, someone in black.
"Who'se over there?" I ask with curiosity in my voice.
"Oh,just some cleaners kid or something, who even cares" She answered as she started leaning into me, purposely showing off her fake cleavage. My irritation is growing by every fucking minute and I couldn't have been more relieved when she excused herself so that she could get her purse.
I walked along the part where Audrea came from, and I noticed the person in black. Considering it's size, it's probably a girl and the awkward position in which she was bent over proved that she was hurt. Immediately I passed her, she seemed to curl into a ball and disappear deeper into her black hoodie. Hmm, that's weird. Immediately I step out of the hallway, the ocean of people surrounded me. I almost forgot what that felt like.
~•~•~•~•~•
"Have you ever noticed the girl that Audrea fucking bullies all the time?" I ask one of the guys from the football team, I think his name is Liam. American Football is one of the fortunate bullshit things that I like about this country. Its so rough and energizing. Sadly, I'm not allowed to play it because it might permanently scar my flawless skin, one of the motherfucking annoying things about being a model.
"She's probably a punching bag that Audrea bought from a mall, you know how crazy the bitch is" He says with a shrug. Although Audrea doesn't know her either. Something is strange about her.
"Anyways, congrats on your movie. Its all anyone can talk about. The whole foot..." I don't get to hear the rest of whatever the fuck he was talking about as I zoned out. That girl mysterious and I just happen to love cracking mysteries. My movie was a motion proof of that.
~•~•~•~•~•~•
Okay, now I'm certain that something is up with that girl. No one in the whole fucking school knows anything solid about her. It's either they think she's Audrea's toy, the janitor's daughter, a random wierdo or they don't even know what the heck I'm talking about. The last option was more popular although that could be due to the fact that all the females were drooling insread of actually listening. She was a typical ghost in the shadows.
I glance around the cafeteria, even though I didn't know what I was looking for. A commotion from a corner distracts me from my thoughts. As usual, miss demon doll is attacking her new prey. The poor girl looks like she could pass out any second from now as she eats her mac and cheese from the dirty floor. Fuck, I think I might puke. What kind of a vile motherfucking bitch would do that? After making sure the girl licks the floor clean, she takes her seat on my table. Remind me to go for a checkup later today, I need to be sure that she didn't infect me. Apparently, all the rich and populars sit here, and I have a special chair decked in gold in my honor. These people really love exaggerating my personality. Few minutes later and Audrea is full-on tipsy. Underage drinking in a high school, she really deserves a medal. Soon enough, a drunk Audrea stumbles away to the restroom.
Hopefully her hangover will be worse than that unfortunate girls health state.
The Next Day...
If you crossed Albert Einstein's hair with a tornado and a firestorm, it would still look better than Audrea's hair right now. Whoever her prey was this time really did a number on her. I have to admit, the hair really mirrors her personality.
Short. Messy. Ugly. In desperate need of a makeover, inside out.
"Quiet! I'm going to make this quick. One of you present here today has gone against our code of conduct by harassing..." Our asswipe of a principal tries to silence the hall and was cut off by a Pretty looking Audrea. Sarcasm noted.
"Cut the motherfucking bullshit! One of you drugged me and did this to me!" She screamed as she directed her hands towards her creepy hair.
Wow, she really does look so fucking original at the moment. She should come join me modelling sometime, she is a work of art behind all that makeup which she isn't wearing surprisingly.
A few people are turning red from trying so desperately to hold in their laughter. I am simply amused.
"You sick pieces of shit! I swear I'll make whoever did this miserable" she exploded before walking out and driving off, probably to put on her demon mask of a makeup. Such a pity, I was really enjoying her new look. All of a sudden, my mind darts to the mystery girl. Of course, it's her. How didn't I think of this earlier. I look around the room, hoping to catch a glance of a certain blackhooded girl. But as always, she's not here. Principal asswipe soon starts getting on my nerve with his annoying insistence on an investigation. I stand up and walk out in the middle of his speech. As I lean against my car, taking in the scenery while Bradley heats up the car, I catch a shade of black walking down a backdoor street. It's her. I quickly tell Bradley to follow her as I enter the car. Looks like our mystery is about to be solved.
~•~•~•~•~•
We followed her to Capri Restaurant, one of the best eateries in Florida. I enter the restaurant and as usual, everybody stops eating and looks at me. A man even choked on his food upon my entrance. Fan-fucking-tastic. I sit down on one of the lush velvet chairs and place an unnecessary order. The waitress taking my order is stealing so many glances from me, it deserves a fee. Wait, the mystery black girl is probably also a waitress.
"Excuse me, Is there any waitress that came here precisely 10 minutes ago" I ask as I make direct eye contact with her, making sure that she doesn't lie.
"Y-yeah" She manages to answer as she anxiously looks at me.
"I want her to serve my order specifically" She nods quickly and walks out. Now, to wait and see.
As I lool at the sales graph for the profits of my modeling, I barely notice when the mystery girl seves my order. When I look up, she is doing the opposite. Her work cap is keeping her heavy curls out of her face. Now that she isn't wearing the black hoodie, I can make outher small physique and the visible bruises on her arm. They must hurt a lot...
"Have a seat, I'm sure your boss won't mind" I surprise myself by asking her to sit down. She takes a few minutes as though she's thinking it through before she finally sits.
I can't help but notice how creamy her natural skin looks. A certain demon doll needs to learn from her.
She squirms in her seat as though she can read my mind.
"What's your name?" I ask her after a minute of silence. she hesitates for a minute before speaking up.
"Crystal" I say quietly. This must be quite uncomfortable for her.
"So Crystal, I'm going keep this brief so that you can head back to work. I've noticed the way you seem to hide in the shadows like you don't exist and I also happen to know... " I pause when I realize that she isn't listening. She's staring at my face, or rather, my lips as if I'm a mime or something.
"Crystal, did you hear anything I said?" I say as I try in vain to hide my amusement.
Immediately I call her name, a light shade of pink creeps onto her cheeks.Damn, she looks so innocent...
"Sorry, I got lost. What were you saying?" she asks and I try not to dwell on the lovely outline of her face.
"In summary, I was saying that I know what you did."
Truthfully, I didn't know anything but she was my No. 1 suspect. If there was one thing I was good at, it was reading people and if she was the culprit, I knew how to find out.
But the pale look on her face when I uttered those words confirmed my suspicions and told me everything I needed to know.
A/N
