Episode 1

ANDREA POV

"Wake up Andrea,Common get up or you will be late for school"My mom said as she opened the window to let the Sun drift into the little room that had been given to us.

"I don't want to go to school today"I replied

"Will you get of bed! You know that school is important for you Andrea" She said as she threw away the bed cover.

"Can't I just skip school today,I really don't want to go,Please mom "I begged gently.

"You know how hard I work just for you to go to that school,If you miss a day,It's like you are throwing my money and hard effort away,Now go freshen up,The boss will be up soon and I want to prepare her breakfast"She said and laying my uniform on the bed ,She left the room.

I sighed as I stared after her, if only she knew why I didnt want to go to school.

I got ready for school and head to the kitchen where I knew my mom would be cooking for her employer.

"Mom am going now"I said to her giving her a brief hug and taking the sand Wich she had left on the table for me.

"Take care my child and remember,You must study hard and......"

"Become some one in life"I finished for her

"I know that Mom and I promise to be some one you can be proud of "I replied as I gave her another hug and then I left the house through the maid quaters.

If a student from Excel high had seen me coming out of the back gate,They would have made it another reason to bully me, I thought as I hailed a taxi.

Working part time has enabled me to have the luxury of taking a taxi ,Though the other students get to school in their own personal car or they are driven by their rich parents chauffeur.

The taxi stopped in a street closest to the school and I got out of it.

The first period will soon begin and i had to get to class early.

I began to run all the way to my class which was the last class on the second floor.

As soon as I got to class,I was aware of all the student starring at me,They weren't expecting to see me after what happened yesterday and if it were up to me,I wouldn't be here,I thought as I brought out my book, praying silently for the teacher to arrive.

"Look who we have here,It's the maid's daughter"Erica a spoilt rich girl and also the school queen said as she walked towards me holding a fruit juice.

"And she is not even ashamed to show her face"One of her minion added as they walked towards me.

A girl who followed her around pulled out a chair for her and she sat in front of my desk.

"How can you even show your face here,After what we discovered about you?"Erica asked as put her fruit juice on my book.

I didn't reply because I knew that replying would only bring further insults.

"She can't even speak now"Erica said and the other students burst out laughing

"Am getting pissed now!"she said again and her minion began to hit my head

"Say some thing,You don't want to get us all angry"One of them said
