Before It Was Us

Queen and renown leader of the infamous private school, Presley Academy, Miah Knox finds herself in an awfully sticky situation. With her deceitful, cunning boyfriend, Mark Richardson, in an unlawful relationship with Amy White, her best friend of many years, Miah finds herself crumbling as Queen.

And that's when she meets Rhys Newman Rives, the bad boy with an extremely hazardous reputation. But when he proposes an impeccable deal, the Queen finds herself falling into a plethora of problems she's not built for.

"You're lucky you're beautiful." Miah mumbles, cocking her head to the side as she surveys the bitch she once called her best friend. "I mean, I don't see any other reason why he would go for you."

Amy throws her a dejected smile, her body slackening to show Miah just how defeated she is. Whilst the former stands with rage, authority and venom, Amy is simply worn-out.

"I'm not here to fight you, Miah." She chuckles, but it sounds pained and distant. "He did what he had to. And, I'm sorry that I did too. Can we put our differences aside, and just be happy?"

Miah eyes the girl before her with utter disgust. Happy? She barely recognised the word. Amy and her sleazy ex-boyfriend put her through hell, she'd be damned to let them roam free for what they did. They weren't the ones that cried every night and saw the pain of loving someone dearly. Yes, she knew how awful Mark had been to her, that's why it hurt so deeply when it was Amy he was with all this time. All those cancelled dates, all those smiles he'd thrown at his phone... Miah had never been the one. She felt used.

"As if." The Queen chuckles bitterly, cocking her to the side. She'd be damned to let this slide. "You started this. Now, there shall be war."
