• PEACHES HIGH SCHOOL •
Different cars of different colors and sizes could be seen driving inside the prestigious building of Peaches high school.
It was the most influential school in the whole of California.
Only the well-offs have the privilege to send their kids to a school like peaches high.
You'd see any kind of behavior from the students who always depend on their parents for almost everything.
Looking for stubborn and rebellious kids, you'd find them in peaches high.
Fashion freaks, spoilt kids, bratty kids, and more you could name are all in peaches school.
There's no way a school like peaches will be complete without having handsome boys who every girl would go crazy for.
Jr is the school's heartthrob, almost all the girls in peaches high school have a crush on him.
Who won't blame them anyways, he is just the right word for PERFECTIONISM.
Speaking of height, handsome face, embodied body, nice voice, intelligence, best smile, best winks, sexy eyes, kissable lips, broad chest... Jr has it all, he didn't miss out on anything.
So who won't have a crush on him?
Some of the boys in peaches high without functioning brains are all jealous of him.
He is the face of the school and also the best student in peaches high, so every girl always uses their studies as an excuse to sit next to him and inhale his strawberry fragrance.
One of the girls in peaches high who has a crush on Jr is Cat Soriano.
She is one of the popular girls in school and her family is ranked 4th in the wealthiest families in California.
Cat might be pretty with her cat eyes, but she falls under the category of student with bratty behavior, you can add annoying behavior if you want to.
She kept smiling as she waited patiently for Jr to come to the school.
Her driver has earlier dropped her off in one of her luxurious cars.
School uniforms weren't required in peaches high school, so the only way you'd gain entrance inside the building is through the school's card.
Peaches high school has a key card for its students and that's what they used in entering the building that looks like a skyscraper.
The poor breeds who don't have the privilege to go to peaches high always wonder if it was a school or just a show-off.
"I hope he likes my gift," Cat said to herself smiling from ear to ear.
She was holding a shopping bag containing a strawberry perfume.
She plans on giving it to Jr.
It's his favorite perfume and that's why he always smells like strawberries.
A black limousine found its way inside the school, and after it halted, a girl stepped out of the car.
That's Margo Torres, Peaches's high queen.
Her family is ranked the 3rd in the richest families in California, and her family contributed to the development of the school.
No surprise, she falls under the category of spoiled kids, with a top notch of possessed behavior.
She flings her red hair and walks up to Cat who was still waiting for Jr.
Margo always dyes her hair RED, she is famous in school for always dyeing her hair red and her hourglass body.
She is beautiful but her character...
"What are you doing?" Margo asked Cat.
"I'm waiting for Jr" Cat replies.
They are best friends because they have the same character. Perfect example of birds of the same feathers flocking together.
"Jr?" She asked, looking annoyed.
Margo might be annoying but she isn't in the categories of girls that have a huge crush on Jr.
She prefers Owen Bautista to Jr.
In terms of reputation, Owen has the highest reputation in school, cuz his family owns peaches high school, which made him to be pompous and rude.
"I get that Jr is handsome and a perfectionist, but what do you even see in him? He doesn't have a ranking in school, cuz no one knows anything about him. He doesn't even have a surname, and we don't know if his family is rich or not" Margo said.
Margo doesn't mingle with anyone who is from a poor background and that's why her whole interest is on Owen.
"Just because we don't know anything about his family means he is poor. Peaches high doesn't offer scholarships to any student, and that's why no poor breeds schools here. Doesn't it ring a bell that Jr is from an influential family?" Cat asked.
No doubts she is so blinded by her love for Jr.
"Then why keep his family a secret?"
"I don't know and I don't want to know," Cat said.
She squeals in excitement when Jr enters the school building with his bike.
He's the only one that comes to school with a bike, but girls don't focus on that.
Their whole attention is all on his face and height.
"He is finally here," Cat said and rushed to him.
Margo rolled her eyes and went to look for Owen, who loves being on his own.
As always girls were already flocking themselves at him like sheep.
They were showering him with multiple gifts.
There's no day Jr doesn't go home without gifts.
"All of you should get lost!" Cat orders.
The girls respected her decision, cuz she has one of the highest standards in school.
"Hi Jr." She smiled at him.
"Hey, Cat. What's up?" Jr asked with a smile.
He is the extrovert type, so he speaks freely with everyone.
"I'm fine. I got you a gift" Cat handed the shopping bag to him.
"Thanks" He accepted it, and packed his bike.
So many gifts were in his hand so he had to leave it in the care of the gatekeeper.
Even the gatekeeper is used to keeping tons of gifts for Jr.
"Let's go in together" Cat said trying to hold his hand but Jr stepped backwards.
"I can be friendly but don't ..."
"Don't touch me" Cat completes his sentence for him.
"Why do you hate physical contact? You even refuse to date someone too. Are you scared of giving your heart to someone?" Cat asked.
She is so badly wishing to be his girlfriend.
Knowing the kind of background he came from, Jr only spoke after a few silence.
"I will go ahead, thanks for the gift"
"Wait for me!" Cat rushed to him.
Both use their key cards and they gain access inside.
The inside was like HEAVEN.
Just as Jr was about going to class, he met students gathering in the hallway.
He instantly knew Owen was at it again.
Jr finds his way to the center, and he sees Owen doing what he knows how to do best.
Bullying!
The rest of the students were just watching as Owen drew a map on the innocent boy's face with a slap.
No one can stop him except for Jr.
"Don't you ever get tired? Or do you find your daily bread in bullying?" Jr asked.
Jr's fans were already smiling, and that got Owen so angry.
He hates Jr a lot, cuz despite being the highest ranking student and the son to the founder of peaches high, Jr is still the center of attention despite always coming to school with his bike.
Owen left the boy he was bullying and grabbed Jr's shirt.
"Do you want to die so badly?!" Owen shouts at him.
"Then kill me and become a murderer. Won't it be nice, if your family's reputation gets ruined? I will die happily knowing you're in jail" Jr said and knowingly gave him a smile that will make you wanna kill him.
Owen lifted his hand to punch Jr but was held back by Kendrick.
Kendrick is Jr's friend, he is famous in school for being skilled in taekwondo.
"Do you want me to punch you instead?" Kendrick asked.
Owen took his hand forcefully from Kendrick and walked away.
"Owen!" Margo went after him.
Jr helped the boy who was bullied and one after the other the student began to go to their various classes through the elevators.
"What?" Jr asked when he saw Kendrick glaring at him.
"Why can't you mind your business?"
"You mean I should allow Owen to bully students?"
"Just mind your business. You can't even throw a punch and yet you kept meddling in Owen's business" Kendrick said, and Jr smiled lightly.
If only he knew Jr is pretending, he won't be saying such.
"What's the smile for?" He asked, Jr just shook his head.
"Babe!" Yasmeen jumps on Kendrick, while May-May, who always follows Yasmeen everywhere she goes, stays quiet.
May-May is the quiet type who doesn't like talking.
Yasmeen falls in the category of fashion freaks. She'd die if peaches high decided to invent their uniforms.
Kendrick is her boyfriend so the four of them are practically friends.
"Cutie" Kendrick pecks Yasmeen.
He calls her cute, cuz Yasmeen is so cute... she has the face of a baby.
"Hi May-May" Jr and Kendrick waved to her, but she said nothing.
The three of them are used to her quietness.
"Owen almost beat up Jr" Kendrick announced, hanging his hand on Yasmeen's shoulder.
"Why did I miss out? It would have been fun!"
"Really? Do you even consider me your friend?" Jr asked.
"I do, but I always stand in for Vawulence"
"Kendrick, are you sure your girlfriend isn't a witch?" Jr asked.
"Do you want to be buried alive?" Kendrick defends Yasmeen.
"I forgot you both are crazy over each"
"Then get a girlfriend. All the girls in school love you, pick one" Kendrick said.
"I'm not interested" Jr said in a low voice, but they heard him anyway.
"Why?"
"You won't understand"
"Elaborate it for us," Yasmeen said.
The sound of the school bell was heard indicating it was time for classes to begin.
Jr smiled.
"See you both in class" He leaves.
"Where should we go after school?" Kendrick asked Yasmeen as they walked one step after another to the class.
They don't get sanctioned if they come late to class, so there was no need rushing.
May-May followed Yasmeen quietly from the back, eating her fingernails.
Her nails don't grow long cuz she always eats it with her teeth.

In the street and under the sun, Swan was giving out flyers wearing a teddy bear outfit.
She was dying of suffocation but she needs to share these flyers before she will take it off.
It was an order given to her by the owner of a chicken restaurant she works for.
She even had to dance funnily just to gain the attention of the public.
"Aren't you tired?" A female voice asked her from behind.
Swan took off the head of the teddy bear.
"Mrs. Lane!" She hugs her.
She takes Mrs. Lane as her mother after her own mother died of cancer.
"My angel is sweating all over" Mrs. Lane said, and Swan played along by pouting her lips.
"It's so suffocating, my eyes hurt, my nose hurts too, even my lips too. Maybe some cold soda and pizza will make me well again" Swan said and fainted on the ground.
Mrs. Lane laughed cuz she is used to Swan's drama.
"Stop misbehaving and stand up"
Swan remains stiff on the ground.
"Fine! Let's grab some pizza" Mrs. Lane said and Swan quickly stood up.
"I thought you fainted?"
"I have unfainted myself," Swan answered.
Mrs. Lane laughed.

Swan kept munching the pizza in excitement and gulping it down with cold soda.
She loves Pizza.
"Since you love pizza a lot, why don't you work in a pizza shop?"
"You want me to get fired before two seconds? I'd eat up the pizza before it gets to the customer"
"Crazy girl," Mrs. Lane laughed.
"School resumed a week ago, why aren't you in school?"
"I dropped out," Swan answered, munching her pizza.
"Why?"
"I want to make more money. School is a waste of time, I need to clear my parents' debts. If I go to school, I will do part-time jobs, and it's not compared to the payment from full-time jobs''
"But still you need to go to school"
"I don't have the money to pay for my tuition neither do I have the brain to write a scholarship exam"
Mrs. Lane brought a form from her bag and gave it to Swan.
"What's this?"
"It belongs to the daughter of the family I work for. Her name is Swan Hayes, while yours is Swan Lake"
"And?"
"She was supposed to be a student of peaches high school. All her fees and everything has been paid for, all she needed to do was to fill the form and become part of peaches high, but she got into an accident while having a vacation in Korea. She fell into coma, so her family moved to Korea to take care of her until she wakes up"
"Why are you telling me this?" Swan asked.
"Pretend to be her. You both have the same name and since no one has seen her before, they won't know you are not her" Mrs. Lane said
"You want me to go to peaches high and pretend to be someone else simply because she bears my name?"
"Yes. She isn't waking up anytime soon cuz she suffered a terrible accident"
Swan dropped the form and stood up.
"I can't do it"
"Why Swan? It's an opportunity for you to go to school"
"Even so Mrs. Lane. I can't pretend to be someone else. Peaches high is a school for the rich!"
"We can always find a way"
"I can't go to that school because I will just kill those bratty and spoiled kids like mosquitoes, and most importantly I can't pretend to be someone else. I'm Swan Lake not Swan Hayes"
Swan leaves before Mrs. Lane could talk more.

Swan kept kicking a can as she walked on the street.
It was late already but she had one more job to do.
"Pretend to be someone else" She scoffs.
"Never" She added and continued walking, but she was blocked by some groups of thugs.
She knows them cuz she beat them up some time ago.
Swan heaves.
"Dumbasses"
"Did you just call us Dumbasses?" One of them asked.
"Yes I did. Do you want to get beaten up again?" She asked making a fist with her hand.
Before she knew it, some thugs began uprooting themselves from different corners.
"Will you be able to fight us all?"
Swan used her eyes to count the thugs and they were up to twenty three, it's not something she can do alone.
"Look over there," She exclaimed.
They foolishly looked and Swan used that medium to run, but they went after her anyways.
"Should I get you lollipops too?" Jr asked as he walked down the street.
He was talking to his kid sister on the phone.
Swan was still on the run when she came across Jr.
She looked behind her and she saw the thugs coming to her in rage.
Swan quickly held Jr's hand and he looked at her with widened eyes, cuz he had never met her before.
"Don't think about touching me, I swear down, he's going to send you all to the surgery room" Swan said, holding Jr's hand tightly.
"And who the heck is he?" One of them asked.
"He is.... He is my boyfriend!"
