Innocent or Not

Lia contemplated on whether she was gonna wear her pink necklace or her black beaded necklace. She rested a hand on her
hip casually as she eyed the necklaces. How ever was she was suppose to choose? It was to be her first day in a public school
and to say the least , she was nervous. Nonetheless she was also happy that she was cancer free meaning she didn't need to
spend her long boring days in a hospital bed. "Dear hurry up ! The car will be leaving soon!" Her mother yells but Lia was
oblivious to her mother's calls.
Lia rose her buttoned nose in the air , proudly. She would have to go with her pink necklace because she loved pink. She
decided on that and successfully put it on. She beamed as she did a few twirls. "Lia!" Her mother yells and she squeals as she
grabs her green backpack and raced downstairs.
Her mother stood , her suit on and her hair wrapped in a bun. Her sweet lavender scent lingering off of her making Lia giggle.
She loves the way her mother smelled. So fresh yet so deadly . "S-Sorry! Alright I'm ready let's do it!" Lia cheers proudly as she
storms her way to the car that was waiting for her. Her mother chuckled but trailed behind her.

When they arrived twenty minutes later , Lia gawked at the school. She dreamt of school ever since she was five. Even though
she was only seventeen, barely experiencing school . She made her duty to have to best two years of school and then she was
off to college.
"Remember my precious , if anything happens I want you to call me. If you feel out a breath then use your inhaler and please
remember to not drink the milk ." Her mother dreads out as her face goes pale . All innocent Lia did was nod ferociously . She
was haft paying attention because the public school in front of her amazed her more than the schools on TV.
"Yes mama. I won't . Can I please leave now?" She smiles as she pulls her mother in a hug. Gina , her mother , soon relaxed
with her touch and hugged her back. Leaving kisses on her forehead. Then the bell ranged slightly frightened the young girl. It
was only the warning bell though . "Oh no . I'm late. Bye bye I'll see you after school!" She gets on her tippy toes and kisses her
cheek before running to the school doors.
Once she entered she wowed the place. Yeah she saw public schools on TV but she didn't expect it to be this huge and big. She
felt embarrassed as she saw all the teenagers rushing to class so she held on her backpack strings tighter and proceeded to the
principal's office.
While she was walking she saw some students making out or either laughing and joking . She felt happy as she prayed this
school wasn't some bullying school like all the books she read. Minutes later she stopped at a door that said the MAIN OFFICE

and she stumbled in.
"Excuse for being late?" The lady with the big round glasses says as she typed on her computer furiously. Lia slightly titled her
head as she watched her.
"Excuse me?" She whispers and the lady snapped her fingers pointing to the room that labeled the principal's office. Lia gulped
nervously and walked through the busy office until she stopped at the words PRINCIPAL MR.NELSON.
She knocked and then a low "Come in" , was what she her and she walked in. The principal was on his computer typing away
and Lia smiled as she wobbled her way to his desk. "Hi I'm Lia. My mother Gina Andrews told me to come to you for my
schedule.
The principal slowly lifted his head and then slaps his head as if he's forgotten something. "Ah so you're the princess! Welcome
to Johnson Public High school . We sure have been waiting for you." The old man smiled as he stood up and walked to Lia. Lia
really hated being called a princess.
"Please sir . My mother prefers to not make my appearance as royalty known." She blushes nervously as she bounces on her
feet. Mr.Nelson noticed the young girls action and smiled at her. She reminded him of his grownup daughter.
"Ah that's right Lia. I forgot . Anyways I have someone to come and help you with your schedule, Uh.. Ms.Dart would you please
come here for a second." He yells as he settles back down in his seat. Soon a girl strides in with a smile .
"Yes headmaster?" Headmaster? Lia thought but didn't pay much mind to it. The girls eyes traveled to Lia and her eyes widened
a she looked at the girl. "Oh my gosh your eyes are beautiful! I wish I was heterochromia ." (A condition where the colored part of
the eye is multicolored.)
The principal laughed deeply as he clutched his big belly. "Rose I want you to meet Lia . Please show her all her classes." Rose
smiles at the shy girl and nodded her head professionally .
"Alright Sir. Hi I'm Rose Dart student council President !" She took her hand out ready for a shake and Lia noticed Rose's freshly
painted nails. Her mother never let her paint her nails .
Lia blushed a deep scarlet red before shaking Rose's hand a little too aggressive making the Headmaster chuckle. "H-Hi! I'm Lia
Andrews it's nice to meet such a pretty girl." Lia greeted but felt more embarrassed. Rose giggled as they stopped shaking
hands. Rose grabbed Lia's schedule and examined it.

"Lucky you Lia! You have some of my classes and you have first period with me. The bell for the first period rings in five minutes
so let's find your locker and then I'll take you to class." Rose smiled as they started exiting the office.
Lia felt a little nervous and prayed she didn't have to speak in front of the class. She was scared when people would stare at her.
"Hey Rose. Gonna come to the arcade today?" A girl says as she walks near Rose making her giggle softly.
"You know it Ellie. Hey meet Lia Andrews she just transferred today!" Lia blushes as she plays with fingers.
"H-Hi it's nice to meet you." The girl named Ellie looked sweet. Her long blonde hair in a low ponytail and her pink dress made
her so gorgeous. But looks can be deceiving .
Ellie smiles as she nods her but doesn't acknowledge her making Lia frown. "Let's chat later." Was all Ellie simply said as she
walked away . Rose shrugged slightly and they soon stopped at a locker.
Lia could feel her excitement of having her very own first locker . She even squealed when she opened it making Rose giggle at
the girl . She was purely adorable.
Lia soon somehow felt uncomfortable as she felt a gaze on her. More like a gaze that gave her incredibly strong goosebumps.
She turned around and her eyes landed on dark black eyes piercing in her gray and black eyes. She didn't know why the boy
was looking at her like that but whatever it was she didn't want to be mixed with it.
She walked away with Rose but still felt the gaze of him.

When they got to class , nervousness laced Lia as she felt the whole class looking at her. Like she said before she hated when
people would stare at her . "This is Lia Andrews . She transferred from which school?" Ms.Gowan asks . She was a much older
lady probably in her forty's .
"O-Oh I've actually been in the hospital all my life because I was sick. B-but I'm all good n-now!" She mentally slaps herself for
stuttering again. She heard a few laughs making her saddened and she was afraid a tear would fall at any minute but she didn't
want to act childish again.
"Oh no. What were you sick with?" A random girl asks her eyes filled with worry.

Lia gulped nervously . "I h-had lung cancer . I was born with a weak lung and I had to wait until I was fifteen to get a new one. O-
Once I did I slowly got better ." The girl's eyes saddened hearing her story but simply nodded and then the door opens.
Lia turns her head revealing the same boy with the hard black eyes , piercing into her eyes once again. "Mr.Romano it's nice of
you to join us. Though it's rare." Ms.Gowan glares at the boy and the guy didn't keep his eyes off the little girl he saw in front of
her.
Looking at her, all he felt was possessiveness and adoration. He took his seat in the back and looked through the window.
Ms.Gowan merely smacks her desk lightly . "Ah. That boy . Well Lia you can take the seat next to Ace since it's the only one
open." She points to the boy with the terrifying eyes making Lia go pale. But she did as she says and took her seat next to him.
She was glad the desk weren't connected so she had a little bit of room to herself. She felt Ace's stare on her making her a little
uncomfortable. She laid her hands in her lap and listened as Ms.Gowan was giving instructions.
"Your name? What was it again?" Ace asks making Lia flinch silently. She turned to him and looked him in his eyes.
"Lia Andrews." She whispers as she turns her attention to the board.
This was definitely gonna be something new and Lia was here for it all.
