Introduction & first meeting

Cherry

This is Cherry, also known as Cher, the quite girl sitting in the back of the class who no one talks to but gossips about behind their back, third year of university, 2 years older than Lily.

Any friend? Yes, only one who is just like her, never interested to talk to anyone else but her, have been friends since high school.

Love status: Heartbroken 💔 in both friendship and relationship.

Lily

This is Lalote, mostly known as Lily. She was born in a rich family, a part of the 'mean girls' group though she was never really mean to anyone because she doesn't want anyone to hate her. So basically she is popular because she is rich and her dad is an actor. Though she tries her best to not make people hate her there are still many people that think of her as their enemy. You know, the stereotype of "All rich people are mean" thing. She does have a true friend and obviously the 'mean girls' are also her "friends".

Love status: have dated many guys but never had a crush or liked any of them cause they didn't either.

Now that we know them. Let's get to the story, shall we?

Lily is talking to her friend Jenny about their studies.

Lily's Pov:

"You're going to university tomorrow. Aren't you excited?" Jenny asks with a bit of curiosity even when she knows the answer.

I get a bit startled with the sudden question but then manage to give her an answer

"I am! But I am nervous at the same time. What if people hate me like my previous school?"

I don't get it. Does being rich make you mean? I don't know if she can see that I am not kidding about it and I am genuinely worried about the matter.

"Don't worry! You're nice and you're beautiful. Why would they hate you?"

I mean she's right but that's not what others think though. Then again I am still the same person so if people hated me in my previous school, it is possible for people in here to do the same.

I reply trying to sound sarcastic "Well, the ones from my previous school did!"

I can see Jenny gets worried for a second there and is genuinely trying to cheer me up when she says,

"You know what, I think you should not care about who hates you and who doesn't. If they want to hate you, just let them. It's their loss!" Is it their loss though?

I guess she is right but I still can't help worrying about it but I think I'll try to not put much thought to it.

"Yeah, You're right......... I guess." I say while trying to brush those negative thoughts out of my mind.

The Next day

Cherry is in the bathroom with her friend Del washing her hands while they overhear the conversation two girls beside them are having...

The random girl is talking to her about something she looks around but doesn't see Cher and Del since they are in the corner of the bathroom.

"Do you know that there's a new girl joining today?" Says she with admiration in her voice.

"Yeah! I heard she's really beautiful and is a freshman too." replies the girl next to her with excitement.

"Do you think she can be our friend?" The previous girl asks her friend.

The expression of the girl changes in the blink of an eye. Her friend rolls her eyes, "No way! She's way too rich to be with us. Her dad's a world known actor. She will most likely be really mean anyways."

"Yeah, I agree." The girl says, and leaves the bathroom, the admiration look goes off too.

After those girls leave the bathroom, Cherry and Del come to the front. Cherry looks at Del, gives a bit sassy and confused look, twitches her mouth and they both laugh out loud. Seems like an inside joke, typical besties!

"Who's the new girl everyone's talking about? It's the third time I heard someone talking about her" Cherry asks.

"I don't know either! I just know that she was really popular in her previous school" Del replies being a bit of annoyed which is very obvious.

Cherry rolls her eyes, still slightly laughing "Must be so tiring being a popular girl. I could never!" She says with frustration.

After that, they both come out of the bathroom. Del looks around first, then looks at Cher and gives her an 'ah shit' look.

Cherry looks at Del confusedly, squints her eyes and raises her eyebrow hinting 'what happened' then Del says

"Umm....Cher, I need to go. I forgot I still haven't finished my assignment."

Cherry sighs and looks at her like 'seriously?' but says,

"Okay....... Then, See ya''

Del goes running so Cherry shouts, "You can copy mine if you want!"

Del goes running to the classroom, leaving Cher alone in the Hall room. Cherry goes ahead and starts walking to the cafeteria to get something to eat when *bam*

A random girl carrying a bag and a file comes running and bumps into her. The file drops on the floor. The girl was looking back so Cher didn't see her face then the girl bends down to pick up the file and papers that are scattered around the floor.

"Oh, I am really really sorry for that. I am new here so I don't know the way to my class." She says with a gorgeous voice while gathering together the mess she has just made.

"Do you need any help picking those up?" Cherry say being the helper she always is.

"No, it's totally fine. You.. don't have to......." The girl starts to slowly lift her head to see the gentlewoman talking to her and when she sees the gorgeous face of Cherry, she is too stunned to speak and her heart stops beating for a few seconds. She feels like a whole zoo is wandering in her stomach. Caught up in the moment, she doesn't realise that she had been staring at Cherry's face for more than a minute now.

Cherry Snaps to get her out of wherever her mind was "Hey, are you okay? Did you get hurt?" Says she with a worried tone.

"Hmm? Umm...... n-no. Umm... I think I should go now. I am getting late to class." Lily gets so nervous she starts sluttering and gets up trying to run away.

She already ran past the hallway when she hears Cherry shout,

"Hey! At least tell me your name!"

But she pretends not to hear it and leaves for her classes.

Cherry sighs and slightly smiles at how silly the situation just was in her opinion "What a weird girl!" She says with slight confusion.

But then the confusion raises a bit more as the girl looked familiar and she thinks to herself 'But wait, Do I know her?' she tries to give it a thought but can't remember at all so she tries to brush it off by saying 'must be my imagination or probably someone who looks similar' but

little did she know that it isn't gonna get out of her mind at such ease.
