Ava Rose, a brilliant and beautiful young woman, has grown accustomed to a life of solitude. With no siblings, friends, or father figure, her mother, Rose, is her sole confidante. Ava's idyllic name belies the hardships she's faced, including relentless bullying in high school due to her unconventional family dynamics. Despite her captivating smile, stunning eyes, and angelic voice, Ava's beauty remains hidden beneath worn, old clothes....a testament to her struggling single parent household. After graduating from high school, Ava's educational aspirations were put on hold as she helped her mother with their modest food truck business. Undeterred by the lack of opportunities, Ava persisted in applying for scholarships, finally securing one to attend the prestigious Bristol University. An institution notorious for its wealthy and entitled student body, poses a daunting challenge for Ava. Now the question is, Can she cope with the cold attitudes of the rich brats, who see the poor as nothing? Can she study to the end, even when the rich make life a living hell for her? Would she be able to adapt to her new life, mingling with the rich? What happens when she gets entangled in a love triangle between a Mafia and a regular guy, who both fell in love with her? What awaits Ava in Bristol University? Let's find out!

Chapter 1 Humiliated.

"Mom....." Rose heard Ava calling her. She was attending to a customer, when Ava came calling.

From the look on her daughter's face, she could tell that there was good news.

"Mommy" Ava called again, with the most beautiful smile her mother had ever seen.

"What's behind this happy face, honey?" Rose asked, eagerly. Smiling along with her daughter, even though she was yet to know the reason for her smile.

Ava didn't answer her mom, but rather hugged her tightly instead.

"I got it, mom" She smiled so hard. "I finally got it" She added, a smile not leaving her face.

Her mom frowned a little, still not getting what Ava was talking about.

"I got the scholarship!" She screamed it out, almost making her mum go deaf.

Rose's eyes widened in complete surprise and joy.

"You did? Like, you really got the scholarship?" Rose couldn't believe what Ava just told her. "This is one of your pranks, huh? Her mom then asked, not wanting to believe her at all.

Well, Ava had applied for scholarships countless times without being given any. So it was hard for her mom to believe.

"Take this and see for yourself, geez!" Ava said in excitement, handing her mom the sheet of paper she printed out.

"You really got it, oh my goodness! Rose exclaimed, happily.

"Yes mommy. Since four days ago. I already thought I was not going to get it. So I stopped checking and had no idea I have gotten it.

"So that means you can start school even tomorrow? Rose asked, excitedly.

"Even this instance, mommy" Ava replied happily

Rose was way more than happy. That was what her daughter had always wished for, and her dreams finally come true.

"We should be celebrating this" Ava said, instantly holding her mom's hand like a kid's.

"Yes baby, we should" Rose quickly said and started gathering the things together.

"You want to close already?" Ava asked, seeing her mom packing in the things already.

"What's the use of staying when there are no customers" Rose asked, shaking her head.

Ava looked at her and smiled, sadly.

There are days that not even one single customer buys food from them.

The food truck business just keeps dwindling everyday, because there's no money to stock it.

Anyway, Rose held onto her daughter as they both walked home together.

[ 8:00PM * HARTS RESIDENCE ]

The Harts family were all seated on the dinning table having their supper, when Jaxon walked in.

He rolled eyes at no one in particular as he got in.

"Another dance class? Football?" His dad asked, knowing exactly where Jaxon was.

Jaxon is a grumpy, impatient and hot tempered dance instructor and loves sports too. He's very good in both.

Jaxon rolled his eyes again, but this time, at his dad.

"Dad, stop bugging me, please. I am a dancer, I love it and you can't change that.

I am an adult and I know what I want, you can't choose for me"

"I don't want to handle the company, because I am not interested. Besides, I'm still in school" Jaxon said it out clear to his dad.

"If you keep bugging me with this, I will go back to school and never come back" He added.

"Talk to your son" Was all that his dad said, because he was actually lost of words.

Without saying anything else, he walked out of the dining room.

Jaxon's father is the second richest billionaire in England. He wants Jaxon to run his companies, but Jaxon is interested In something else.

"Jax bebe!" Maisie, Jaxon's little sister called.

"Stop calling me that, witch" Jaxon fired at immediately.

"What? I love you, Jax bebe. And I'm your baby sister, so I can call you any name, right?

Right? She doubled the question, getting Jaxon more annoyed.

Jaxon rolled eyes at her, hissing.

Jaxon and Maisie are always fighting like babies. Maisie is just 12, while Jaxon is 22, but it's always as if they're mates.

"Jaxon, you just have...."

"Not now, mom" Jaxon cuts his mum off immediately as he already knew what she was about to say.

"We'll talk about this later" Margaret said and left the dining room too.

It was just Jaxon, Maisie and their grandma (Grand Ma-pee).

"Why are you looking at me like that, Grand Ma-pee?" Jaxon questioned, when he noticed his Grandma staring at him, funnily.

"Have you found a girlfriend yet?" Grand Ma-pee blurted out.

"Give me a break, Grandma. You guys are suffocating me in this house.

I'm going back to school first thing tomorrow morning" Jaxon said and left the dining as well.

"I will bring one for you, if you don't mind" Grand Ma-pee said loudly as Jaxon walked away.

She and Maisie laughed and high fives, before continuing with their food.

[ 8:15AM * AVA'S RESIDENCE * NEXT DAY ]

It was morning the next day.

Ava was set and ready for her first day in school.

"Oh my! Is this my daughter?" Rose asked, staring at Ava, who walked down to meet her mom in the living room.

"You look incredible, baby" she said.

"It's the same clothes I've always worn, mommy. Nothing new" Ava chuckled out lightly.

"But you always rock in them" Rose replied with a smile.

"I'm ready" She said and pecked her mum.

"Wait let me get your food" Rose said and entered their small kitchen.

She brought the food specially packaged for Ava to take to school.

"What are you doing, mom?" Ava asked, staring at her mom in an unbelievable manner.

"I am in University now, not kindergarten" Ava laughed as her mum handed the flask of food to her.

"You're not going to reject mommy's food, are you?" Rose pouted like a baby.

"Fine, fine. I will take it" Ava smiled beautifully.

"Bye, mommy" Ava then said.

"Bye, baby....make lots of friends and have fun, okay?" Rose said, waving at her.

"Sure mom" she replied, before exiting.

[ 8:45am * BRISTOL UNIVERSITY ]

Ava walked and stopped right in front of the big building.

"Bristol University, here I come" She closed her eyes and inhaled sharply.

"Wow! This is way more beautiful and bigger than I thought" She excitedly said, feeding her eyes with the beauty of the environment.

She began to walk in as other students did too.

"Hi" She said to a student, but she only rolled eyes at her and walked away.

"Dirty" The girl mumbled, rudely with a hiss.

Ava shrugged and continued walking till she got to the science lap.

~ Who's that? Why is she dressed like that?

~ Gosh! What is she wearing? That rag she's putting on stopped trending like five years ago.

~ Her old rags for me.

~ She's a newbie, I guess.

~ Gosh! She's ugly and spookes me.

~ I think that's one of the poor rats that has been given a scholarship.

All the students on the hall way laughed at the last statement made by Carla.

Carla is the bully mistress, she and her gang.

The worse and last person you would ever want to meet on campus.

Too proud, arrogant and mean, spoilt brat.

Anyway, Ava walked up to them and stood in their midst.

"Hi, guys. I'm Ava, and I am new here....and I don't know anywhere around. Can you please show me to the chancellor's office?" Ava asked nicely, with a big smile on her face.

Carla smiled sinisterly, looking at her friends.

"With pleasure" She replied Ava with an evil grin.

She signaled one of her friends, Ivy. Ivy nodded as she understood the signal.

As Ava and Carla were about leaving. Ivy grabbed her backpack and threw it on the ground.

The other girl put her leg on the way, making Ava to trip and that made her to fall on her face.

They all started laughing at her immediately on seeing her fall.

Ava tried to stand up, but Carla matched her with her leg, pinning her back to the ground.

"Poor rat. Who said you could come to this school and order Carla around?

Do I look your mate, class?"

"Gosh! You stink. Did you have your bath before coming here?" She asked, and spat.

Ivy, Isla and Harper laughed.

"Probably didn't, because they have no water at home" Isla said and they laughed again.

Ivy unzipped Ava's backpack and poured out every damn thing inside it.

The flask of food her mom had given her, emptied out on the floor.

Seeing that, Carla and her gang burst out laughing at the glimpse of the food.

"Oh my gosh! What are you? 5?

Does this place look like the stupid kindergarten you went to?" Carla asked, taking her legs off Ava who was already in tears.

"Awww, she's crying. How cute" Harper said, satirically as they all laughed.

"What have I done to you guys to deserve this harsh treatment?" Ava summoned the courage and asked.

"Did she just ask that?" Carla asked, tauntingly laughing at Ava.

"First, you don't talk when I talk because your breath stinks and makes me wanna puke" Carla mocked.

She packed the food in her hand, and she started rubbing it all over Ava.

Her friends laughed, while watching the drama.

"Second, you offended me by coming to this school.

I hate poor people, because they creep me, they make me wanna puke" she spat again.

"Such a loser" Isla said.

"Welcome to Bristol University" Ivy seconded.

"We own this school" Harper added.

"And we don't associate with poor rats like you" Carla finalized and spat for the tenth time.

They all laughed, mockingly.

"Oh my gosh! He's here" Ivy announced and all of them drifted their gaze at who she was referring to.......

"Get on the bed, raise your ass up and let me whisper something to your womb" He shamelessly said, as he sat down, nonchalantly and smiling like he wasn't the one who just spewed that rubbîsh out.
