Chapter 24
It was decided that there will be a talent show and a runaway. I did not expressly say that I will participate in either of them as I seriously dont want to be the center of attention on anything. But I agreed to support them and the final decision is yet to be announced to the whole school.
We all had literature for the last period, so we made our way to the class only stopping on the way in our lockers to get the books. We were like a small clique. I know it sounds cliché but it is the truth. We all stayed together the whole day unless someone had something to do on their own. Otherwise we would joke and fool around. It was actually good feeling and I feel kinda happy to be with them though we end up attracting everyone's eyes.
I realized how much I missed Chloe and Carter. When they both left me in Illyria, Katharine became my (ex-) bestfriend. Well, I really dont want to talk about her. Something happened between us and we ended up becoming rivals and not talking to each other at all. We dont even acknowledge each others presence now even when we are in the same room unless we cant avoid it.
Just before entering the class I heard Mrs. Collins voice calling me and right at that moment I knew I was in trouble. Sighing I turned around to face her and she was looking at me with kind eyes. Before she could say anything I apologized for suddenly leaving the class in middle of her lesson. She didn't say anything nor reacted to my apology.
where is MacKenzie? she asked me carefully looking at each of us trying to find her. She didn't ask anyone particularly, so we all waited like idiots that the other one will speak.
It was Andrew who said that she went somewhere. Mrs. Collin gave a glare to Andrew but slightly nodded her head. Of course she must have heard MacKenzie spouting nonsense. That girl is a headache. Our history teacher turned back to me and said,
You have detention, after school today clean up the history class. Already walking she added, remember Rebecca, next time I wont be so lenient.

As per my parents orders (well not an order really) Carter is supposed to look after me. I didn't realize it at first but after some days I realized that for whatever reason Carter is always with me that one day Yuki came and asked if something is going on as Carter has refused to go on a trip with her and her family. So I kind of blackmailed Chloe and she revealed that my mom had asked Carter to keep an eye on me which is kind of annoying as I clearly told her when I refused the bodyguards that I dont need any babysitters. But the good thing was with the help of Chloe I was able to go for work without Carter finding out. Well that's' what I thought anyway.
I have to admit that I underestimated the Food Corner. That place is busy from morning till night. At least I dont do nights and I heard that its busiest hours start from 8 pm onwards. I cant imagine how busy that time is until now I considered my shift hours to be the busiest which is from 2pm to 3pm. Though sometimes I dont even have time to sit and take a breathe, I actually like working there. I never had a chance to do a part time job back in Illyria and I always wanted to do one because some students in my class enjoyed working. It was like a dream for me back then. Now I have my own pocket money and I was happy like I earned them myself and it made me proud too.
I know this is not a typical thing but a complete natural thing that some high-schoolers work but for me it is whole new thing. Ever since my dad told he's running for the presidential election of one of most developed nations my life has been a roller-coaster. Before, we were this happy small family. Papa started from the root itself working up the ladder gradually. I dont remember most of the stuff but I can clearly remember that life was more easy back then. When papa officially took his seat as the President of Illyria my carefree days came to a sudden stop. I couldn't go out as I pleased and there was always a bodyguard accompanying me to school, to parties and everywhere. Mark, my little brother (earlier he was called Dick but Ill changed the name) liked all the attention but I hated it. I hated being looked out and not being able to do what I really wanted to do. I ended staying home most of the time while all the others partied. Papa always tried to keep us out of spotlight which was the only good thing as I didn't have to fake smile.
Me getting into the entertainment industry and becoming a model was a pure coincidence. I started uploading my covers on youtube under a different name. while I was surfing the internet one day I saw a modelling competition and I wanted to try it. My dad was against it at first but my mom persuaded him. The interesting thing was no one knew me as the daughter of the president. No one treated me differently nor tried to ruin my life. I was this ordinary girl with brown eyes and dark brown hair who loved to wear dresses. I always wore a long wig and contact lenses. Everything was going smoothly until the accident. The accident revealed my identity as the daughter of the president.
When I recovered my parents got scared and I was banned from everything. I suddenly disappeared being a model and a singer. As a result, I came to Avalon High to begin a new life. That's what my mom told me but for me this a pathway to a new beginning. To do what I really want to do with my life. No one here knows that Im a daughter of a President except my aunt and uncle, Chloe and Carter. At least that secret I want to hide until I leave this place.
