Cassandra’s Pov:
I kicked the table roughly and the mug fell on the ground as it noisily broke into pieces.
“Unbelievable! For the first time Cassandra you were beaten by someone!” Lucy said
“Not just someone but a lowlife piece of trash” Kiara added.
I scratched my head in confusion.
“This is really hard to believe” Joann tapped her feet on the ground.
“Girls… I think that girl cheated during the test because there is no way she can have the highest grade without cheating” I said
They nodded their heads in agreement.
But then Lucy disagreed.
“You know what Cassandra! I don’t think she cheated… She looks brilliant” Lucy said
“Lucy is right!” Kiara agreed
“And guess what girl…. Next week is the last test” Joann added.
I smirked wickedly.
“I have an idea” I laughed
“Idea? What idea?” They chorused
“Don’t worry girls but I assure you, she will be thrown out of this school once I unleash my plans” I said as we high five happily.
I will put that b+tch in her place.

I sat on my large bed with the test results.
I flipped the pages with anger burning through me fiercely.
I can’t believe am a second to that girl.
That poor wretch….
Hmm…. Gracie Montes!
That girl is a big threat to me for sure.
I was still lost in thought when mommy walked into my room with a nylon.
“Hi baby….” Mom’s voice smacked me back to consciousness.
“Oh mommy” I forced a smile
She hugged me tightly
“What’s that baby?” Mom pointed at the paper
“Our test results in school” I said
“You don’t look happy” Mom asked concerned
“Someone got the highest grade instead of me and that’s unbelievable” I said proudly
“Who’s that?” Mom asked
“A new girl from the slums” I said in disgust
“Oh come on Cassandra… That’s rather too harsh” Mom said as I gulped hard.
“What’s her name?” Mom asked
“Gracie Montes” I said
Mom only shrugged it off.
“Don’t worry baby! All you have to do is to put more effort and am sure you will surpass her” Mom said and I smiled.
“Here baby! I got some banana split for you… It’s your favorite right?” She said as I smiled.
“Thank you so much mommy” I pecked her
“So baby….. What about we go do some shopping tomorrow together” Mom said as I screamed in delight.
“Oh my goodness mommy! I love it!” I said as I jumped up in excitement.
“It’s been a long time since we did some catch up together and your daddy is going to come with us” She said as my face countenance changed.
She looked at me and smiled.
“Listen Cassie! Daddy loves you so much too” Mom said
I breathed heavily as I rolled my eyes.
“Duh! His presence is only going to irritate me mommy…. What has he ever appreciated me for? He doesn’t see anything I do as a good thing” I said angrily
“Oh Casandra! He only wants what’s best for you” Mom said
I scoffed in disbelief.
“Oh really? He does? Is that why he took my credit card from me?” I yelled
“Cassandra…? He’s still your daddy” Mom said
“Whatever! Just drop the package on the drawer mom and you can use the door if you choose to” I said as I lay on the bed and covered myself with the duvet.
Mommy only sighed as she got up from the bed and walked away.
I breathed heavily in relieve.
Gracie’s Pov:
Mona rushed in with a shrieking scream.
“Oh my gosh girlfriend… Am so happy for you” She said as she hugged me tightly.
I smiled broadly.
“Thank you so much Mona!” I said
“I can’t believe you got the test so right even the peacock couldn’t get at the top” Mona said happily.
“Oh girl! I really missed you yesterday….” I said
“Me too! I had to go home early… Family emergency” She said as she ordered for a glass of strawberry + juice and cake.
“You know Gracie! Everyone would want to be your friend now” Mona said as I chuckled
“I don’t think so” I said
“Why is that?” Mona asked anxiously as she ate some cake.
“Well because am not rich right?” I said
“But you’ve got brains” Mona said as we shared a laugh.
Our little chitchat was cut short when a group of girls walked to us.
they looked absolutely gorgeous and rich too.
And they were carrying their trays of lunch.
“Oh hi Gracie….” The other one said
I smiled at them and waved.
“You know my name already when I don’t know yours” I joked
“Who doesn’t know the name of the only girl that won over the peacock” She said as we shared a laugh.
“Hmm… Amelia please don’t put my friend in your issues with Cassandra” Mona said as she scoffed.
“Whatever! Gracie am beginning to like you a lot…. Keep defeating that good for nothing girl Cassandra” Amelia said as her friends smiled at me and they walked away.
I turned my gaze to Mona puzzled
“Who is she Mona?” I asked anxiously
“She’s Cassandra’s rival” Mona said as I shook my head.
“That reminds you cheated in the game… Rock paper scissors game” I said as Mona burst into laughter.
“No… You cheated” She argued.
Mrs Charlotte’s Pov:
I drove into the school garage.
I have to pick up my daughter for the shopping I promised her.
I got down from my flashy car and walked towards the school premises.
My cell phone rang aloud.
It was my husband Mr Sam Salvador.
📱Hello honey…. I said
📱Baby? Where are you and Cassie?… He asked
📱I’ve gone to pick her up at the school… I said
📱Alright love… am just leaving the office right now… He said
📱OK baby… see ya… Love ya… I said as I hung up.
Just then, I bumped into someone.
It was a very beautiful young girl of about Cassandra’s age.
She almost fell on her butt but I held her tight.
Our eyes met and I felt like I’ve known her for ages.
“Mommy?” Cassandra screamed in annoyance…..
