William Academy was full of rich kids. Yet, no one really knows who is the richest among us all. Lucky for me, I know.
As no one would dare share a table with me during lunch hour, I came across a table at the back of the cafe. Only one girl was sitting there. It was your Aunt Lily!
Me: Hey, can I sit here?
Lily: Sure.
Me: I'm Beth.
Lily: Lily.
We would eat in silence. We never really talk because I'll be eating while Lily is glued to her laptop. She's like the lonely nerd without a herd. Kinda rare for rich kids, the one born into a rich family, enjoys sitting alone without anyone to brag about their luxury holidays. Slowly, I started to talk to Lily.
You know that I was bullied before. Our school has tons of cameras but non of them seems to function the day before my locker was sabotage. Even if it was working, the images would be blurry. Although I got the mean girls to do community services, I needed them to at least have a taste of karma.
One day,
Me: Hey Lily, do you know how to hack the school security cameras?
Lily: Piece of cake.
Me: Will you do it for fun?
Lily: I'm listening.
Me: You know how the mean girls would hire some guy to sabotage my locker? The cameras wouldn't work every time they put 'things' in my locker. I was thinking-
Lily: I'm in! Those bitches need to learn a lesson the hard way...
Me: What did they do to you?
Lily: Before you came here, I was you.
Me: Let's make them pay!
So, we plan an act of revenge. It was simple but very effective. We would take turns to monitor their routines and whatnot for a month. We identify our targets. We realize that those girls would only use their locker on Mondays and Fridays so, on Monday night, we disable the cameras around the hallways. We planned some maggots and other 'things' that they used to put in our lockers. The signature of those douchbags. The blame will fall to those guys instead of us. We build a solid alibi by putting some false footage in the hard drive. We were seen in the hostel and nowhere near the school building.
On Friday, as they opened their locker, flies flew out and maggots running around their books. The smell was horrifying! We kinda went too far, most of their possessions were ruined. But, they're not sorry.
That's how Lily and I became best friends ever since! Lily's dad was the richest compare to the other dads. Later on, her sister, Rose registered in the same school. Well, that one is another story.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you know, the mean girls were the most popular girls and all of them were cheerleaders. You might guess that footballers would be the most popular boys in school, nope. Not even close.
The most popular boys in school were the ones with the most followers in Instagram, tiktok or youtube. We called them, the pretty boys. One of them was your dad. So, yeah, I met your dad in William Academy! End of a story.
"Mom, are you kidding me?? That's 'where' not 'how'."
Yeah, I was just kidding!
The pretty boys were everywhere. One of them in my class, Sebastian Moy. We have Oliver Moy, Seb's brother who always finds every chance he has to be shirtless. Then, we have Tim Kono who actually plays football and is a quarterback. The rest, I don't really remember because they were not significant to the story.
"Are you saying that my dad could be either Seb, Tim or Oliver?"
Yes!
I might be the girl with thick eyeliner who seems to be heartless and cold, yet, I had a HUGE crush on Oliver! Even Lily laughed when I told her that. I can't help myself.. His smile melts my heart, EVERYTIME! What makes it worst? I secretly watched him practice basketball from afar. The other fangirls always block my view..
Those pretty boys actually made asked the school to provide a PO box for them because their locker would be full of letters and some extreme fans even break into their lockers to put gifts! So, the school provides each pretty boy a PO box. No one can come near or disturb their personal locker in the hallway. Surprisingly, it works!
On Valentine's day, their PO box and even personal lockers would be filled with so so many things. I decided that probably this is my chance to write something to Oliver.
I wrote, 'Hi. You're too popular for me to approach so, hi from afar.'
I know his locker will be exploded with letters so I tag my tiny note, without signing my name, on something adhesive to ensure he notices something is dangling on his locker.
On that day, he didn't notice it AT FIRST (yes I was watching from a safe distance), as he was about to close his locker, he saw something swinging on the locker door. He picked it up, read it and SMILE! One the best day of my life. You'll understand it soon enough.
I started to send more cute notes to his locker. He didn't report any disturbance (the pretty boys usually report whenever they felt disturbed, the principal will change their locker or something. I'm not sure because I was busy watching Oliver). I wrote all of my notes on pink paper and sometimes I spray my perfume on it. Just for fun! I would put the notes on the weekends as most of the pretty boys stayed at home. The best part is, Oliver awaits my notes. I'm not sure why but he did!
'Your left side is your best side ;)'
'Whenever you :) , it made my day. Well, other girls' day 2. Smile more'
'Good luck on your next game!'
'I saw you, no gums under the table =_= p/s: not a stalker just happened to saw it once'
'Hear about your injury, GWS (😭)
'Black tie goes well with everything. I mean, anything you wear goes well w u'
On his birthday (we share the same birthday actually), I drew a portrait of him on a half A4 paper and gave it to him. 'Hope u like it'.
I gave him a note within two weeks.
'Have a nice spring break! I suggest Nivea sunblock ;) gonna miss u'
He started to pay a bit more attention to his surrounding whenever he walks. It's like he is searching for someone. I wish he was searching for the mystery girl but, he could be just looking around.
The closest he ever got to me,
On the last week of the final examination, I wanted to wish him Merry Christmas. I made an ornament. I was walking towards his locker with the note and the ornament. I was kinda scared of the dark so I was busy looking down, watch my steps. I crashed onto a person, it was OLIVER! I guess he was at school late for some group study. He apologizes and even helps me up. I got panic! So I left the note and the ornament.
I said, " er..thanks" and bolt!
'Hey! You drop these!!' Wait!!
I left, running in the dark until I reached my room. I'm not sure if he realizes that the note and ornament were for him.
After school break, I saw him and the ornament is hanging on his bag! I was over the moon!! Even jumped a little.
That day, we had the usual assembly. By the end of the assembly, a student representative must come up and give like inspirational quotes. That day, Oliver came up and gave a quote. He ended his quotes by saying, "To the mystery girl, tell me something about you."
I was so shocked, Lily had to slap me as I fainted. LOL I did.
