"Damn those two brothers," Cleo cursed under her breath, before heading back into the mansion.
She didn't expect that the two brothers would change overnight, and she wondered what might have gone wrong.
Checking the time using the phone, she found out that she was late for school. Picking up her bag, she ran out of the mansion.
Meanwhile, Camille had already been dropped at school, and immediately she stepped out of the car, she was ambushed by a bear hug.
It was done by her best friend, Shayla.
"Easy there," Camille chuckled, and in response, she returned the hug. Her eyes were filled with tears as she recalled how she didn't listen to her in her past life, causing her to lose the only friend who cared about her.
Camille was overwhelmed with emotions, and she tightened the hug around Shayla who didn't complain.
"You are hugging me as though you haven't seen me for a lifetime," Shayla joked while still being hugged.
'You have no idea,' Camille thought to herself, forcing back the tears. She didn't wish to cry since she had finally reunited with her best friend. There was no need for a sorrowful atmosphere.
"I missed you," Shayla confessed with pouted lips when she let go of Camille.
'I missed you as well,' Camille thought to herself as she stared at the cute girl in front of her with a small smile.
Instead, she chose to raise an eyebrow to Shayla's words, and she asked with folded arms, "we saw each other yesterday, didn't we?"
Shalya shook her head, "how can you forget that we were not in school yesterday?" She slapped her forehead, glaring at her due to how forgetful she was.
Camille suddenly had a look of realization. It was the truth, they weren't present in school yesterday as they were all given a two-day break so they could prepare for the college exam.
"I totally forgot about it, my brain has been so fuzzy," Camille stated while they made their way to the class.
Shayla immediately stopped in her tracks, causing Camille to stop as well.
"What's wrong?" Camille asked, staring at Shayla who couldn't take her eyes off her.
"I just realized that you are alone," Shayla replied, looking around.
"Alone?" Camille replied, unable to understand what she meant by that.
"I mean Cleo isn't here with you," Shalya commented with her two hands on her waist.
"Hmm, something surprising happened today, I have a whole lot to tell you about," Camille eagerly said, pulling Shayla who had an eager expression on her face to the class.
When they got to the class, a few boys greeted Camille, and with the help of Shayla, they were able to evade them before making their way to their respective seats.
"Okay, I'm all ears. Tell me what happened," Shayla requested after they had both settled on their seats.
Camille grinned before explaining what had transpired earlier today.
After she was done, Shayla had a contemplative look on her face, thinking deeply about what she had heard.
"So? What is your take on this? Are my brothers truly changed people? Do I trust them?" Camille asked, subconsciously depending on Shayla for answers.
"Judging by their behaviours, I'd say they are changed. But I can't truly say, who knows? They might just be putting on an act so you could trust them," Shayla replied, before gazing at Camille with a skeptical look.
"Do I have something on my face?" Camille questioned, touching her face to check if there was something there.
"No, you don't. I was just surprised," Shayla replied slowly.
"And what are you surprised about?" Camille replied with a question. She still hadn't caught on what Shayla was talking about.
"I'm talking about your change." Shayla exclaimed, which caused the remaining members of the class to look at her as her voice was loud. She could only give them an apologetic smile, before turning to look at Camille who swallowed nervously.
"You and your brothers have undergone a severe change, it is as though you three woke up as three different people." Shayla completed, and Camille's brows furrowed instantly.
"That isn't possible," she refuted. She would rather her brothers were trying to use instead of finding out they were reborn.
"I'm just giving a hypothetical example, it's not like it can happen," Shayla stated, and Camille agreed with her by nodding her head.
'I am sorry that I won't be able to tell you about my rebirth, but I'd prefer us no one knew about it. My servers must remain safe ' Camille thought to herself staring at Shayla who was thinking about the best explanation for the situation at hand.
"Come on, do you know what could have been responsible for your brothers' changes?" Shayla urged her to speak.
Camille was about to reply when the door to the class was opened, revealing a dirty-looking Cleo who was staring at Camille with a dangerous look in her eyes.
Cleo's clothes were extremely drenched with mud water. And it caused her white skirt to turn brown.
"What's with her?" Shayla asked in a whisper, giving Cleo looks of disgust. She despised Cleo, and it wasn't because Camille was her friend. She always got a negative energy from Cleo causing her to stay away from her.
"She probably thinks I am responsible for her state," Camille replied with a smug smirk which irked Cleo from where she stood.
Cleo couldn't stand Camille's smug expression, and she tried to make her way to her, only to be stopped by a few words.
"We know you are a maid's daughter, but that doesn't give you the right to pollute the class. I suggest you visit the restroom, and stop being an eyesore."
One of the girls stated without looking at Cleo, but the disgust in her voice was evident.
The other students burst into laughter at the girl's words causing Cleo to feel humiliated.
Cleo couldn't reply, she could only glare at each and everyone of them before stomping out of the room. She didn't forget to give Camille a death stare before leaving.
"She doesn't know her place," Shayla scoffed due to Cleo's sassy attitude.
"Don't bother about her, she's still adjusting to her new life," Camille chuckled, her eyes glinting with a strange smile.
Meanwhile, Cleo walked into the restroom, muttering some curse words underneath her breath.
She walked to one of the mirrors, staring straight into it, and the expression on her face was twisted.
"All of you will pay for the humiliation you made me go through today, especially you Camille." She vowed, a malicious look in her eyes.
