REALISATION

PERSPECTIVE

"He told you that he'll bring Normani back in one week?" Solar exclaims, her eyes radiating with excitement. She turns her focus on Normani who sat beside her, "You head that? Sahar made Asher do it! You're finally going to come back." she squeals. Normani simply smiles, but her gaze turns dead serious as it falls on me.

"You can stop now." she says, a smile overwhelming her pretty face.

"Stop?" I repeat.

"Stop talking to Asher and the other members of the billionaire bad boys club, we simply cannot mix with those fools." Normani says, placing her hand on mine reassuringly. "Leave it all to me, I have big plans for that Jumin boy, he'll regret making my fathers business bankrupt and he will also pay for making me leave this school against my will!"

I look at her as if she's gone crazy. I can't stop now. I can't stop until I find out more about my mother. Luca Valdez has the key to my history. And I'll go through any obstacle to receive just an inch of my past.

And I like talking to Helius, his golden boy attitude and his ethereal personality — he's just a boy who goes through the same issues as me. And Asher? I wasn't so sure about him at first but oddly enough, the both of us are at the stage where we regard each other as acquaintances but not necessarily friends.

"I think it will be better if I continue talking to them." I say, I could feel Solar looking at me intently. "It would be better since I'm the only one out of the three of us who has formed an acquaintance with some of the members." All the members except one, Jumin Xu — the boy who started Normani's burning urge to get revenge.

Normani sighs.

"I don't know Sahar, you may think they're really good people but they truly are not! It's all a facade, they're good actors and I don't want you falling for their stupid traps." Normani explains, for some reason a small part of me wanted to believe her but I couldn't. After listening to two tapes, I made a judgement that she's simply overreacting with some of the situations with the billionaire bad boys club members.

To me, everything seems like one big misunderstanding.

"I won't, trust me Normani, I'll do my best to help you get back at that Jumin boy." I smile at her, he was the only problem out of everyone in that group. He simply radiated a bad vibe, his cold demeanour and rude attitude paints an image of a complete monster. I'll help Normani only with getting back at Jumin Xu. However for the rest of the members I won't do anything to them, I have nothing to do with them.

Except Luca.

I share a past with him. A bad one.

Luca's family, his family ruined my right to have a family. My mother, she would've been alive if it weren't for the mistreatment by his mother. I wouldn't have went to that horrible foster home with horrendous staff members. I hated each and every moment of my childhood, I suffered more than I deserved. At a young age I was taught to be a woman, at a young age I had no choice to be a child but a being that is so mature. I never got to play with dolls, decorate them how I wanted to. My mother never had the chance to take me to the park, she never had the chance to buy me pretty close and eat dinner with me every night. The idea of not having food cooked by my own mother, the idea of not having her tell me stories about her life. It was just my mother and work, then my mother and death. And then me, a lonely child left to wonder by herself.

I have every right to be angry at Luca. But yet I feel miserable placing my anger on someone like him, yet at the same time he knows who I am, he is well aware why my mother got fired. And I need to know why, I need a reason. She was the most hard working person I've ever met, she never made mistakes; she was the most ideal mother in the world to me.

The idea of Luca being happy makes me feel so damn angry. He lives his life to his standards, a billionaire with the whole universe as his limit. The stupid smile on his face when he sees me, it makes me feel so irritated, his dumb confession and his terrible crush on me makes me sick. The way he treated that father at that party, it's as if he has all the power in the world, he's unstoppable and everyone below him is nothing but useless dust.

I want to ruin his happiness and then I'll restore mine.

"Sahar?" the sound of Solar's soft voice pulls me out of my thoughts. "You look so angry."

"Oh... do I?" I murmur, only to see Normani. She smiles, patting my back softly.

"If there's anything disturbing you, tell me and Solar, we're best friends after all."

I nod my head to Normani's word. I could never tell her what was bothering me right now, I can't tell her that I feel like ruining Luca to the point he apologises to me. It's pathetic, my feelings towards him are negative, I can't tolerate him anymore. It took me so long to realise that he's the problem. His family and him. I want their businesses to collapse, I want them to taste the bitterness of losing something that means a lot to them.

I'll start off with Luca. I'll use him, I'll make sure his businesses collapse. Only then his parents will find the person behind the collapse of their big empires and the moment they hear my name, they'll know whose daughter they've messed with.

"Everything's okay, I'm feeling great. You said you wanted to take down Jumin right?" I look at Normani, she nods her head eagerly, she seemed so optimistic to take down the rich billionaire bad boys club member.

"And the rest." she states. Her words cause me to frown, the rest of the members have done nothing to her, she simply kept dirt on them so she could expose them if they've done her wrong (well that's what I assumed).

"They all deserve the worst, they've done horrible things and their secrets need to be revealed to the whole school." Normani says, her head held high.

"I agree, they all seem like jerks. The way they treat people around this school needs to end, this isn't an aristocratic society, there's no such thing as the rich belittling the less richer!" Solar says, I frown at her choice of words. There is a thing, as soon as someone has a tiny inch of power more than you then they'll be better than you. They'll take that as a sign to belittle you and place you below them as it makes them feel more dominant.

"And we'll do the honours right?" Normani places her hand forward.

"We will." Solar places her hand on Normani's, the both of them look at me, waiting for me to place my hand down. I hesitate, I wasn't sure. There was only one person I truly dislike from that club and it's Luca.

I sigh, placing my hand forward. I have nothing to lose, I have so much to gain.

"We will."

sahar has discovered a newly found hatred for luca. how do you feel about normani? do you think she's lying about the tapes she made? do you think she's a good friend?

i hope you all enjoyed this update! there will be a backstory of normani and solar in act four. but you'll have to wait for that!
