...
Monday morning, Esther walked into her classroom, her head held high as always. Her classmates stared with envy and jealousy, their eyes flashing with animosity. They had always felt inferior when Esther was around.
This was because of her unparalleled beauty, grace and brains. Wherever she went, she had to turn heads no matter the situation she was seemingly into.
She was ranked as the number one beauty queen secretly by her classmates in the school, because her natural beauty was unmatched.
After lesson hour, the principal walked into the class with a female gender trailing behind him. Everyone recognized her quickly.
Andy Ibarra, the far-famed and renowned youngest actress in Brightlingsea City, walked in, the atmosphere in the classroom changed. Everyone stood up and sent their greetings, staring at Andy with excitement and astonishment.
Esther's eyes landed on Andy, her gaze piercing through the crowd. She saw the admiration and adoration in Andy's eyes, saw the way she sparkled with excitement.
"Please introduce yourself." The principal stated, trying to control his amusement and excitement.
Andy smiled at him and retorted." I am Andy Ibarra, the retired actress of Brightlingsea.
I came to this school to study but most importantly make new friends and I hope you all would help me in my mission."
As Andy introduced herself, her voice was like music, her signature move sending the students into a frenzy.
" I would be your friend Andy."
"I can be your best friend if you want."
"You can call me brother."
"Sister here."
"I am your biggest fan Andy."
"I secretly dream of you."
Esther's eyes narrowed, her gaze locked onto Andy's face. She felt deja vu staring at calculative look in Andy's eyes, there way the way she was sizing her up felt odly familiar.
Esther's smirk only grew wider, her eyes flashing with amusement. She now recalled where she saw her from, and it was too hilarious to recall.
As the lessons ended, everyone gathered around Andy, showering her with gifts and praises. Esther watched with a detached interest, her eyes locked onto Andy's face. She saw the way Andy's eyes sparkled with excitement, saw the way she lapped up the attention.
Esther's smirk only grew wider, her gaze piercing through the crowd.
"Who is she?" Andy asked, her eyes narrowing as she stared at Esther. One of Esther's classmates said "Don't mind her,"
Another one of Esther's classmates said with a sneer. "She's just a servant in the Stokes family. Genesis Stokes' personal maid. She has no use at all."
"Yeah, she acts superior, but she's nothing but a nobody," another classmate chimed in.
"Pfft! Don't worry about her, Andy. She's probably dreaming of cleaning the shoes you're wearing," a third classmate added, rolling her eyes.
Andy pouted, her eyes filled with mock sympathy. "Such a shame, I thought I saw here somewhere. Here beauty is unmatched."
"BeautifuI heard she did plastic surgery to try to charm the young heir."
"Yeah, me too... Even now, the young master doesn't look at her. Pfft! She's just a fake," another classmate said, snickering.
"Who would look twice at her? She's nothing but a tag. Even the dog has status worldwide, not to talk of her," a classmate chimed in, her voice dripping with disdain.
Hearing the rumors, Andy couldn't help but want to investigate this girl. Was she really acquainted with Lachlan? Would she use her as a stepping stone to charm the young heir?
As Andy thought about it, she smiled to herself. Maybe this girl could be useful to her. .
"I want to invite all of you to my banquet this weekend as a welcoming gift," Andy announced, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "And Lilith Lan would be presented."
The students cheered and screamed, their faces lighting up with excitement. "Wow, Andy, you're so kind," one of them said.
"You're so good to us, Andy," another student chimed in. Andy smiled, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
Who didn't know the infamous Lilith Lan, the biggest secretive bigshot in the country. Owning up to half of the city after the Stokes family
Not only was she in the business field, she had the entertainment and fashion empire wrapped around her fingers. And what makes her even more adoring is her young age and striking beauty.
Andy knew that this would be a great opportunity to get to know these students better, and maybe even use them to her advantage. As the students continued to fawn over Andy, Esther watched with a detached interest, her eyes locked onto Andy's face.
She saw the calculation in Andy's eyes, saw the way she was using these students to further her own interests. Esther's smirk only grew wider, her eyes flashing with amusement. She knew that Andy was just like her, a player in the game of social hierarchy. And she was curious to see how far Andy would go. The fact that she was using her pseudo name meant that she had skills.
