CHAPTER 1: Welcome to Charles Adam

She woke up early to prepare food for her father, actually her step father. It's been always like this since her biological mother left them for her new suitor who eventually became her new husband. He didn't want Carla's child to be with them, he believe that her 5 year old will bring nothing but a ton of responsibilities he didn't want, he's still young he only wants to have fun, and he's not going to take a child under his roof that wasn't even his. Finally he made her mother choose between her or him.

She gave all of the custody to Ray, her stepfather. She gave the child support from the start, financially supporting her from afar. But after months passed by she stopped. She also stopped their communication. Her childlike curiosity bugged her at the time because she's not answering as her stepdad says. So, one time she tried to steal her dad's phone and called her numerous times, she was met with dissapointment as her mother answered with an anger in her tone, clearly not happy that she's been disturbed by her past.

Not like she should be surprised by her mother's actions. Carla always seemed like everything Raymond gave to her as gifts it doesn't matter. It's always not enough for Carla. She's very materialistic and immature.

As she's preparing their breakfast, she heard her dad greet her "Good Morning" and she greeted him back, the house is filled with comfortable silence as both of them are not very talkative, Especially her father because he is a man with a few words.

After she finished her food she prepares for the school. While she is in the shower she saw a bruise on her left stomach caused by Barbara's boyfriend's punch from the other day at the orientation. It's already starting to get purple.

She tried her best to not give her father troubles from school as those lowlife creatures loves to humiliate her from time to time, Promise to heavens she really does because she is not fighting back like she used to, Since she almost lost her scholarship because of a stupid cat fight. She has to apologize Barbara's mother who came to her daugther's side immediately when that plastic barbie doll that her daugther is, called her and says that she slapped her. She is always full of lies. Perfect Barbie girl can't be the bad guy, In the end no one listened to her explanations as Barbara's mother is one of the highest sponsors of the school.

Her Father's job is just a Factory worker, His monthly pay is sometimes isn't enough to cover both of them for the entire month. They are always on tight budget, but hey at least they don't live in the streets begging for a food and eating leftovers in the garbage.

She came down to the kitchen and bid a good day to her father. Before she could reach the doorknob to open the door she heard her father called her and asked. "Are you going to be okay?"

"Huh?, What does he mean by that?"

"Of course I'm going to be okay, it's just school plus I'm the daugther of Steele, My name is Anastasia Steele and there's nothing that could break me." She gave her father her best encouraging smile that she's going to be alright and left.

Anastasia opened the car door and tries to start the engine. I didn't start at first, She always worries that this car might be too old to use. But she have no choice but to use it because she really needed a car. It's still working though you just have to give it a little bit of force and a lot of patience for the driver of course.

She begged her to come home to them and promised her to never refuse her rules again, eat all of the vegetables in her plate, sleep early, and always be a good girl. She was rambling non-stop and crying while her mother who was miles away from her doesn't give any single inch of care. When her mother had enough she screamed at her and told her to "fuck off".

Flashbacks of that night came to her mind as she saw the ice cream shop that she always love to go as a child, she and her mother got a big tub of ice cream there to celebrate the most important events of her life as a child. Her mother always buys her a cone with three scoops of Vanilla, Cookie dough and cookies and cream flavored ice cream when she has a bad day at school. It stopped once she moved out.

As she's about to step down from her car, A vintage red beetle car she called Wanda she checked her appearance on her compact mirror one more time if she looks okay.

A pale looking girl with no curves on her body, a thick chestnut colored hair that she could never tame, freckles on her face, and her outfit that looks like it was chosen by her blind grandmother, She knew she don't have the taste or style to fit in. Letting out a huge sigh she got out of the car and look down at her outfit. "How nice" she thought.

A dark green turtleneck that was never a thing even from the early 2000's, and the same black pants she wore yesterday. She knew she's a complete definition of plain.

Especially not to mention that her clothes aren't even from Macy's or H and M. Honestly most of it was from Flea Market. The others are from Target.

She slammed the door shut as she was thinking on why can't she have a great car and not something that looks like one more drive and you can die with it. But she knew better than to complain to her father, Ray is doing his best to save both of them. But heaven knows that they can't blame a high school girl's wishes for someone to notice how nice her car or outfit are.

She snapped out of her deep thought as someone from the back threw their drink on her back. She turned around and saw one of the schools' "almighty" popular ones or something that she'd like to call a perfect dictionary definition of a dumb blonde. Barbie Roberts.

"Oops I did it again, I swear I'm sorry I think you are the walking garbage bin with the color of your outfit" She said smugly mocking her and her outfit.

Barbara "Barbie" Roberts was probably one of the dumbest person you'll ever meet. She and her mom are so addicted in anything Barbie, color pink and anything "glamorous" so her mom named her Barbie Roberts next to Barbie's real name "Barbara Millicent Roberts". And honestly she looks like a real life-size plastic Barbie doll.

Also gossips are flying around that her mom had to pick on one of her suitors back in the day so she was over the moon when her richest suitor has a last name "Roberts". Ana felt sorry for the guy because she thinks that he loved both of them so bad so he just let them do anything.

She just walk away from them and silently said "Don't worry I knew you aren't that smart after all so I understand"

"What did you say about her? " Oh no she, the Katherine Kavanaugh have heard her.

Katherine's father is the owner of Kavanaugh Media. That's just basically who she is, just a daugther of the owner of a company.

Kate pulled her Ana's hair so Ana stumbled back, Before she could fall she felt someone's hands one each of her shoulder and picked her up. She look a her back and she saw Kate's boyfriend who is unfortunately a 6"2 ginger haired quarterback up and throw her on the garbage bin.

"You look like a very ugly Rag doll, nobody will love you" Kate snarks.

Before she could even pull herself out of the garbage bin someone threw yet another large unfinished mcfloat on her or rather on the garbage bin. "It was disgusting...!" she exclaimed inside her head. The sticky vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and Cola is cascading from the top of her head to her shoulders and chest.

She wiped her face with her hands just in time to see who threw the drink on her. Annabelle Morton .

The Female Dictator, The Alpha Bitch, The Lioness. If you meet her you'll remember her for the rest of your life. She can be your greatest friend or your worst sworn enemy.

As much as Ana would like to get up and grab her hair and rip it off until everyone can see her scalp. She couldn't do it, Because Annabelle holds so much power from her peers. They can attack her, ridicule her, or do anything possible to make her look bad. It's like Annabelle is their master of this game.

After they called her names they finally left her alone, Ana got up and head towards her car to get her extra sweatshirt. She always have a pair of those in case one of the earlier situation happens. While she was walking she tried to use her handkerchief to wipe up the vanilla ice cream one top of her head, to her hair and top.

She was so busy getting rid of the cold dairy product on her hair that she didn't notice that someone was following her.

"Hey, you!"

"That couldn't be me right?, I mean come on. That must've been one of their boy toys." Ana thought. In her years of being in this place no one has ever noticed her or gave attention to her. Unless they have a favor or something rude to say.

"One with the melted ice cream on her back!"

Oh, Shit! She didn't check her back, She looked around and saw that a copper haired guy staring at her, he has the stance, height and body as a mighty knight. A stubble and jawline like he is someone that came out of a GQ Magazine, and his eyes is as grey as the clouds of storm. "It was mesmerizing...".

"You dropped this." He said handing me my Nokia Flip phone.

"I... Thank yo-" He cutted my sentence as he said "You should get change, you're going to get sick."

Anastasia wanted him to stay longer and talk to him more "You didn't have to return this back... It was just an old Nokia flip phone, no biggie."

"Damn, I just have to be awkward and be so random and ungrateful am I?!." She exclaimed inside of her head.

He looked directly into her eyes and said "If wasn't a biggie then why do you still have it? Shouldn't you throw it off if you have another phone? Don't worry I'm not judging anyway. It's very nostalgic, I think it's cool." He then gave her his 1 Billion dollar smile.

"Damn, is he a mind reader now? "

"Oh, and by the way I'm not a mind reader. I'm just good at reading people's expressions. And honestly your face says it all. See you around Vanilla" with that he walked away.

She thinks he's cool, calm and collected. While she is his total opposite. As they say:Opposites do attract.

"Wow, what is this? Little Ana Steele finally has her crush?"

Just a thought of that guy being her future boyfriend made her smile, But instantly turned into a frown as she remembered that she forgot to ask his name.

She quickly changed her top on the backseat of her car, She is now wearing a grey sweatshirt which has an Iron Throne vector art design on the front.

She can hear the whispers all across the hallway, "This is not THAT nerdy is it?." Anastasia asked herself feeling anxious. Feeling like she couldn't do anything about it, she just let it go.

Anastasia's hair is still kinda sticky but she didn't bother to go to the comfort room to fix it because she's going to be late for class.

When she arrived at the class her classmates are already seated casually talking to one another, others are busy with their phones and some are sleeping.

All of the seats are already taken except the one in front of the desk. She sat down and placed her bag on the side, then she noticed a yellow sticky note saying:

"Reserve for the "lovely" and mousy Anastasia Steele, Enjoy.

Love your beautiful version/Caring step-sister, Annabelle Morton."

"Damn it!, they knew I don't like to be in front..." She just sighed and sat down. To Ana being in Front is like being the center of attraction or attention. She knew how is it gonna go, someone from the back will tap her shoulder to get her attention without having an important purpose, some will throw crumbled papers at her and the worst: Someone will try to stick chewed bubblegum in her hair.

"Hey, Great Khaleesi"

"Oh, no... I hope they aren't calling those names to get my attention"

"The protector of Seven Kingdoms!" The other voice of a guy said in a very dramatic and mockingly way possible. Plus the over exaggerated British accent.

"I knew those three are at the second row, just behind me ugh"

"Ugh in case it is completely oblivious to you, your majesty they are calling you. Give then your attention Queen Anastasia of the North"

"That one was definitely Kate, Great"

Ana just looked around and there was those guys. From left to right you have the plastics with their own significant others.

"Please don't tell me all three of them will be with me for the rest of the year..."

Barbara glared at her, probably still thinking on what she said about her this morning. She's the type of young adult who has a temper of a five year old toddler.

Kate raised her eyebrow at her.

And Annabelle winked and blew a kiss at her. Ana she it was fake.

So in short this place has: Barbara Roberts as the hot and dim, Kata Kavanaugh as the second in command, Annabelle Morton as The Alpha bitch.

The Social Hierarchy of this school.

Welcome to Charles Adam High again, Anastasia.
