Chapter 2: Chapter 2

"Whatever."

Mimi Ann got off the bed in her creased pajamas and walked towards the bathroom when she heard Zach say, "I'll be in King's room."

The young lady just hummed a response and slammed the bathroom door shut. A few minutes later she walked out of her room and didn't even bother to knock the door next to hers. She knew King's room was next door and she budged inside. She gasped when she met eyes a shocked young man only in a white towel loosely wrapped around his waist.

Mimi Ann was shocked in place and couldn't move for a few seconds. She didn't even notice that her face was flashed and her eyes were staring right at the young man's eight pack abs. The boy was tall, slim but not too thin and looked like a sports person. His skin was beautifully tanned. His almond shaped eyes narrowed and he ran a hand in his wet short brown hair.

He seemed unfazed and comfortable in his own skin when he slowly walked to her and lowered his head so that he looked right into her eyes, "In or out? You are letting cold air in." he asked arrogantly and a smirk rose on the corner of his lips.

Mimi Ann's eyes widened and a red hue flashed on her cheeks. She took a step backward then turned around and ran out of the room. That was the most awkward situation she had ever been in and even worse, it involved a half naked handsome boy. Even more embarrassing, she heard that boy scoff the moment she ran away.

He must have thought she came to his room on purpose and that was the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to her.

Just as she was about to return to her room, a young man stopped at her door and bowed in front of her, "Miss James, Mr James told me to inform you that he already left. I will drive you to school."

She nodded, "I'll change first." She shook off her embarrassment and had just the idea to make a memorable first impression.

*

Mimi Ann only knew that her father was in the fashion business and before coming here she didn't know that he was that rich and powerful. Now she had found out that he was the chairman of the Q brand that was with the hospitality and fashion businesses. He was in the top three richest people in the continent. She didn't even know that her favorite clothing brand belonged to him until now.

She changed into her farm clothes and wore heavy make-up to cover up her face. Her driver was shocked when he saw how ugly she had become after changing but he didn't say anything and escorted her to a brand new Maybach parked right in front of the hotel entrance. It had a special number plate written QJ04 and even though it didn't mean anything to her, she knew it had to be a special car that belonged to the James family.

Looking at the school from the car it was so much more beautiful than the school she was used to back home. Just looking at how luxurious it was, one word came to mind, extravagant.

At least it seemed like an international school though. She had never been to a school like that before. As she slowly walked inside the building she saw the students wore their uniforms neatly.

Quite frankly, it was a very beautiful school with a beautiful uniform. A black pleated mid thigh skirt, a white tucked in shirt and black blazer plus a pair of black heels. Same for boys who wore black trousers and white shirts. It was very beautiful but she just didn't want to be there.

She had worn her old checked shirt, torn jeans and a pair of old Q brand sneakers that her mother bought her when she passed her exams more than a year ago. Paired with the makeup she had put on, she looked out of place. All eyes were on her as she walked through the corridors. The first group she passed by was a group of Chinese girls and a white girl who seemed to be disgusted by her. They just whispered amongst themselves and looked at her as if she was crazy. She couldn't blame them though, with the way she was dressed and the way they were dressed in their fitted uniforms she did kind of look like a crazy person but she would never forgive anyone who would say that to her.

As she passed by the group with musical instruments they played something in harmony as one of them rapped, "This new girl looks like a crazy woman, could it be a school for the crazy too? Old jeans, tattered shirt, seriously where did she come from?" One girl sang and the others clapped cheerfully. She had not realized that she had stopped to listen to the best sang but worst song ever.

She slowly walked away and passed by the fashionistas. Just like everyone, they looked at her as if she just crawled out of a bin. Just her clothes were torn but she was clean.

She scoffed silently thinking the world was superficial.

Right next to them was the basketball team and as annoying as it was, they were at the door to her classroom. They all started laughing when she stood there with her torn shirt, old ripped jeans, torn sneakers and a faded backpack.

To be honest, the rich students were so well dressed in their school uniforms so she really felt like a bin herself and that's what's she was going for. If she was lucky she could be chased out of the school and then her father might get tired of her.

A gasp was heard from a handsome Chinese guy and in his accented English he asked, "Did I miss something, guys? Do we have a costume party today?" The guy teased and the others laughed.

"No, Kang, you didn't miss anything. I think this zombie lady is lost on her way to the graveyard!" the other short brown skin young man who didn't seem to be part of the basketball team but was in the same class as her. Roy, cast a mocking gaze at Mimi Ann.

Three elegant girls walked out of the classroom after hearing the commotion, one half Chinese and half white girl and Mimi Ann recognized her. King's twin sister, Minnie James. The other was a Chinese girl and the third was a black girl. The three looked so beautiful that other girls would be jealous. "Oh my God! She looks like a real life zombie!" Her sister almost screamed looking disgusted by her.

What irritated Mimi Ann the most was that the three really looked very scared and were clearly not acting.

The team laughed letting out a very loud, "Ooh!"

"Minnie, my queen, please don't be scared. We can't let the school beauties get scared." Said Roy with a frown. He turned to Mimi Ann resentfully saying, "Shoo, shooo, shoooo! Stop scaring our delicate queens, ugly freak! Crawl back to the nightmare you crawled out of and stop scaring our dreamland queens!"

Mimi Ann rolled her eyes irritably. The boy was even shamelessly poetic. "Get out of my way you little hobbit." She said coldly and glared daggers at him.

"You dare call him a hobbit? You dare show us attitude with that ugly face of yours? Oh heavens please have mercy on us. How are we to survive with such ugliness so close to us? I wonder if the heavens fell asleep while creating you." Said a pretty short girl.

Another pretty girl chimed in, "Like seriously! Who wears such cheap old torn shirt? Did you just time travel from a poor village in the beginning of the twentieth century?"

A cold smile lifted Mimi Ann's lips as she glared at the girl. She did like this commotion and she was going to take advantage of it, "That's none of your business. If I'm a ghost I'm going to haunt you little hobbits till the end of time."

The other Chinese girl gasped, "Minnie, Su, Chantria, are you going to just let her be? Show her who the boss ladies of this school is!"

The three girls just looked at Mimi Ann in shock. The smoky-eye was just too dark, the blushes were too pink. Even though she wasn't that dark the makeup still looked strange. Before any them said anything, three guys walked over and a few screams were heard. Mimi Ann turned to look and recognized King at the front behind him was a tall brown skin guy and next to the guy was that boy she saw half naked at the hotel.

He face heated in embarrassment but a quick though came to her mind and was reminded that there was no w ay he would ever recognize her in her makeup.

She scoffed, "Let me pass." Mimi Ann said coldly. "If you are done looking then step aside. If you want to continue then let's do it inside because it may take a while. Don't worry, I won't charge you for appreciating my unique beauty. I'm sleepy, I'm not really a morning person so I need you to step aside so that I can catch up to my sleep inside."

"What? You're in class A? But why?" A few people spoke at the same time as if they had a script written for them earlier.

A bitter smile rose her lips and paired with that face, that smile made her look like a demon, "Now listen to me, if you hate my face please choose a different class from mine otherwise get used to it! 'Yours truly' will not be scared away by you people." She brushed past them and everyone moved out of the way.

She felt satisfied, one of the advantages of being treated like a leper was that no one would have the guts to stand in her way.

When she walked inside she settled herself at the back of the classroom on the desk that wasn't labeled any name. She put down her bag and rested her chin in her hand as she waited for the teacher.

Since it was the first day of the year the teacher walked inside and introduced himself as Mr. Ling. The lessons were so boring that Mimi Ann couldn't help but sleep through it. She didn't even understand Chinese and the way he spoke English was difficult for her to understand.

Mimi Ann finally woke up when the teacher harshly knocked on her desk. She narrowed her eyes as she looked up at him feeling a bit disoriented, then she relaxed and asked, "What is it?"

"You dare sleep in my class, Miss Mimi Ann?"

Mimi Ann frowned irritated, "So what? What's so special about your class… or any class for that matter?" she scoffed.

Mr. Ling was visibly shocked when he set eyes on her face, "You're lucky that it's just your first day otherwise." He shot her a warning glare, "The principal wants to see you, make sure you wear your uniform nicely tomorrow otherwise you won't like it here. And no heavy make-up."

"Oh really." She got up with a smirk on her ugly face, "I already hate it here and everything else I see including your freaking old ugly face so that little threat of yours is just useless when it comes to me but you can use it to scare all these other hypocrites you call your students." She sneered before she picked up her old ugly backpack and walked outside.

In her mind she was chanting, 'God, forgive me. It's just that I want to leave from here.'

Mr. Ling was left speechless by her rudeness. He wanted to scream, "Ugly old face? I'm clearly more beautiful than that demon child. And old? I'm only thirty five and she has the guts?" Mr. Ling's lips twitched silently watching Mimi Ann go.
