Kyla's POV

"Kyla! You're back" I recognized that voice instantly.

Hannah

"Yeah. Rose begged me to come back so I don't miss the exams I've been working hard for." I responded in a low voice.

"It would've been still understandable if you would've taken more time to heal Kyla." She said coming closer to hug me.

I didn't hug her back I just rested my head on her shoulder till she pulled back. I wasn't in the mood for hugs and all that but knowing my friends they'll all want to hug me. I just wanted to sleep and never wake up. After you lose your parents the last thing on your mind is showing love to others. If it isn't for Rose constantly begging me to not give up on school because my parents would be so disappointed if I do, I wouldn't be here.

Hannah and I have been friends for almost a year now. She and her family moved to New York last year. Weirdly enough I was the first student she talked to when she first started boarding our mini bus. A lot of people found me hard to talk to since I'm a celebrity kid or something.

Fortunately Hannah is one of those friends that don't see me that way. She's such a sweet soul plus very fun to be with and she has been a super supportive after my parents' death. Even if it's just keeping me company on my bed.

"Look who decided to come back." his resonant deep voice just put a smile on my face instantly. I had been friends with this guy since the day we stepped foot in our school for middle school interview. Alec is so sweet and charming with his beautiful smile. He is also tall with long black hair. Emarald brown eyes. His beautiful smile showing his straight white teeth and pink lips. "Aren't you gonna give me a hug too?" Earth back to Ky!

I shook my head and realised Alec was standing in front of me with his arms open. I closed the gap between us and hugged him back. I reach his shoulders by height so I hugged his chest. I could feel his muscles tighten and almost making me choke till I spoke up

"Um... I'll faint any second now if you don't let me go." He let go immediately making me gasp for air when he did.

"Oh I'm sorry, I guess I really missed having you around Kyla" he said. He said he missed you.

And I heard that! He's supposed to miss me anyway we're friends.

I have an inner voice, she's sometimes annoying trust me. Emma is her name.

"Hey Kyla" Leo said coming to stand beside me. He was like a brother to me. Always being protective like a brother should and always caring. Sometimes I wonder if it's like this to have one. I never got the chance to experience that. I was an only child to my parents.

"Hey Leo" I gave him a polite smile before hugging him. I think you can say I missed this one a lot. He's very funny too.

As much as there are tons of cars at home I still used a student a minibus to get to school. It's about a ten minute ride anyway so it really doesn't matter. My parents felt the need for me to socialize more so they kinda forced me to use a minibus and we were currently waiting for it to show up. To be honest I was dying for it to show up because I wasn't enjoying the pitiful stares I was getting right now.

My house is a twenty five minutes drive from where transport to school picks me up. Jerry always drives me to the station to catch the minibus instead of waiting at home, that would be boring plus my house is a little far from most of my friends' homes or where most people resided. It was a huge property with a huge castle in it overlooking the Hudson River from a distance. When I was little I used to call it a haunted house in the woods since we didn't have any neighbors.

My parents were well known so they didn't want to have a lot of neighbors. I understood why though because in school I sometimes found it annoying that everybody knew my name and always in my business. Kyla Davison. The billionaire Vaughn Davison's child. Everybody knew my father especially in New York and of course across the world.

Gosh I really missed him and mom.

"Finally!" I said seeing the bus approaching.

"That's a first. You're usually complaining it comes early Ky." Hannah mentioned.

"I just want to sit down that's all" I was the first to get in when it stopped in front of our stop. Hannah and I sat together all the time. Before her I used to sit with Alec.

So the next and final stop would be Deveon Moore's house. Thee most cutest boy in our whole school. He's a crush of many and I'm sure he's been with almost all of them.

I mean he's a playboy. Everyday you find a different girl on his lap in the cafeteria. Mostly cheerleaders. It's just that he's so damn cute and I guess they can't help but fall in love with his looks.

The driver didn't stop where he's usually at. I looked outside and he wasn't there. That's weird.

"Hannah" I nudged her with my elbow and she looked at me she had her beautiful smile as always showing her white teeth, pairing well with her green eyes.

"Yes" she answered

"Where's Deveon?" I asked lowering my voice making sure I did not make people turn heads and start wondering why am asking about him. These kids can even start thinking we're together or something.

"Oh I don't know. I guess he must be late or something" she said calmly.

"Oh" was my only response.

"Why do you ask anyway?"

"No reason."

"Kyla?" she looked in my eyes and I tried hiding my face by looking at the window but Hannah always appreciated honesty like me so I had to tell her the truth.

"Fine. I just asked because you know he's hard to miss."

"That's true." I giggled. "To be honest though he seemed worried about you after you disappeared and switched your phone off, he'd ask me in the mornings if I'd seen you until Mrs Thompson announced in your class a couple of days later about your parents. I'm really sorry Ky. I know you don't wanna hear it cause it awakens the pain but I feel I need to say it everytime I mention them."

She was right it did awaken the pain, everytime I heard someone saying 'sorry' I just feel like bursting into tears but I just had to get used to it because more people were going to say so in school.

"It's okay, I understand you. Let's just talk about something else for now." I just had to know what's been going on at school and especially what that troublemaker Linda was up to.

So she's like the cheerleader captain and the school whore. I don't think there is a guy in the basketball team that hasn't been with her. I mean she's cute yeah but her personality is very ugly I think she might be Satan's niece or daughter.

"I know what you mean there" she said in an excited tone "well rumor has it Linda was seen at the club with Mr Martins this past weekend and she was all over the guy, lap dances, kissing and all types of nasty stuff" I giggled at how she always saw intimacy as disgusting.

Virgin.

"The club? How did she even get in?" I wasn't that surprised though, I mean she probably fucked the bouncer too. I just wonder what her parents say about their daughter's behaviour. I wasn't perfect either I had my flaws but I didn't ruin my parents' reputation.

"I have no idea but that's not all" I was pulled out of my thoughts by Hannah having more gist so I diverted my attention to her. I wonder why she's not been telling me all this when she'd come for visits.

"Yesterday she was trying so hard to get Deveon's attention she even went to an extent of trying to kiss him in the basketball court while everyone was watching." I gasped.

"What?!" was all I said to get everybody's attention in the bus. "Really people?!" I said and they all quickly looked away scared. "I hate it when they stare." I said annoyed.

"Calm down Ky you don't have to shout at everyone that looks at you." I hate it when he talks so much sense.

"Leave me alone Alec" I hated having to be rude to people, I wasn't raised that way but when people look at me whenever I scream, sneeze, cough or even freaking laugh just awakened that anger in me that I had promised myself I wouldn't show to anybody. Especially people I cared about and I cared about the people in this bus but they were just nosy.

"I'm sorry Kyla I didn't mean to upset you. I just thought you wanted t......never mind I'm sorry." I actually felt guilty for having Hannah apologise to me. It's not her fault I got irritated.

"It's okay Hannah It's not your fault. I just hate unnecessary attention." I turned my head to the window.

Calm down please. I'm calm Em.

The bus came to a halt and I knew we had reached school. I realised I had also calmed down and was feeling better.

"Hey, I'm sorry I got angry like that, it won't happen again I promise and don't apologize please I am at fault here not you." She just gave me her gorgeous smile.

"It's okay Ky. You ready?" I nodded

"Yeah I mean it's not like I could turn back and go sleep at home at this point" we both laughed

"I'm glad you realised that" she gave me that smile of hers again. I was definitely ready for the day after seeing that.

"Let's get going Han, last time I checked being late was an offence in this school" we both giggled getting up from our seats.

"It still is" with that we were out of the bus and we were headed to our first class which we had together. I was already getting stares and pitiful looks from the other students, I just wished I could hide or just be invisible somehow. I tried to not let that get to me though, acting like everyone doesn't exist.

So that will be my secret motivation to help me get through the day from now on.

Exactly Ky, act like you didn't see anyone staring at you.

Okay let's do this.
