Hey, I’m Lorraine Clyne, but most people call me Raine.I have dark curly hair and misty blue violet eyes. I guess you could say I’m tall at 5 foot 8.

I seem pretty normal but have a double life well more like triple.

Outside of school I am billionaire heiress, I own multiple 5 star hotels and plan on taking over the Clyne corp. after my parents retire.

In school I am the scholarship student/charity case. Why? My parents believed that some teachers give extra credits to the more wealthy, since my parents want me to use my own knowledge they sent me on a scholarship they sponsor.

My third life? Well we’ll get to that in a bit.

“Hey could you pass me that shirt over there?” I asked my best friend/ Room mate Gissela Connors who was my fellow scholarship student.

“Here” she said throwing the shirt my way.

“Done” I exclaimed zipping up my mini suite case.

“Is that all you’re taking?” she questioned pointing at my miniature suite case, fine mini hand luggage.

“Kind of” I said giving her a sheepish grin.

Shaking her head she went back to packing. “So what are your plans for the winter holidays?”

“Nothing really.”

That was a lie of course. I have a lot of appointments, interviews, meetings, parties, and press conferences that I need to attend. I also plan on buying a few more 5 star hotels, and need to visit family and cousins in Geneva.

“How about you?” I asked trying to keep the conversation going.

“I don’t know yet, might go skiing with my family or something.”

“Cool.”

“I’m gonna go to class early today, see ya,” I said gathering my books and heading out.

“Think fast.”

A football came flying at me with incredible force. Using my lighting fast reflexes I caught it before it could inflect any damage to my face.

“Well what do we have here, if it isn’t charity case,” a voice taunted.

Daron O’Hara, bane of my existence. How I wish I could take a gun and shoot him. Of course I was never going to show him how much he got to me.

“Good morning to you too O’Hara,” I said in a monotone trying hard not to smirk. I could tell this got to him, he couldn’t stand the fact that no mater how much he tried he couldn’t get a reaction out of me; I never lose my cool.

“What are you smirking at charity case?” Aaron one of his best friends asked.

Oops.

“I’m waiting for an explanation charity case,” Daron said.

I pretended to think for a while. “Hmm, think fast,” I said throwing the football back. I laughed at there shocked faces as I made my way toward the cafeteria.

So you must be wondering what that was about. You see Daron and I don’t mix well ever since I bruised his oversized ego last summer. Let’s back track a bit to that fateful day.

L&D

It was all happy and sun shiny in happy land.

Oops. Wrong story

Here we are.

I was at the mall looking around.

“Hannah!”

Suddenly some random guy grabs my arm and forcefully turns me to face him.

“Hannah I’m so glad I finally found you. Why do you keep running away from me? I love you so much!”

“Um you have the wrong person,” I said recovering from shock.

“Don’t be like that! I gave you every thing you could ever want! You said you loved me Hannah!”

“I don’t know what you’re on but I’m not Hannah!”

“Come on take the boy back!” someone from the crowd that began to form around us.

“How could you so cruel?”

“Can’t you see how much he loves you?”

Just like that the crowd began yelling. Telling me how cruel I was and how lucky I am to have someone like him who loves me so much.

“There has been a mistake” I started but was cut off by he crowd.

I looked up at the guy .What the heck is that a smirk? How dare he smirk at me!

Suddenly it all hit me, this was one of those pranks where you go up to random people, cause a scene and humiliate them. I was about to give this guy a piece if my mind when suddenly his lips came crashing down on mine.

The crowd cheered.

That’s it I have had enough of this. I brought my teeth down on his lips hard and raised my knee to hit him where it counts. Instantly he was on the floor howling in pain.

I smirked; two could play at this game.

“How dare you chase me after all you’ve done?” the crowd was deathly quite taking in every thing I was saying.

“You abused me! Everyday I would dread the moment you would come home drunk. Do you remember that day you threw that glass bottle at me! I still have scars from all those times you hit me all because I wouldn’t let you in my pants!”

He sat there completely shocked and at a loss for what to do next as the crowd began shouting at him.

“You never loved me! You were only using me to make your ex jealous. Even after you claimed that you loved me, you cheated on me with my best friend!”

The crowd was furious, I could hear some guys cracking there knuckles ready to beat the guy up.

“How could you! You are despicable; I never want to see you again!” With that I stormed off leaving the angry crowd to feed on him.

L&D

I burst out in laughter thinking about his clueless expression. I do have to admit though he is hot with his shaggy dark hair and teal eyes that light up when he smiles. He was towering at over 6 feet; his physique was lean and muscular, yes I confess he is gorgeous. Too bad he will never hear me say those three words. It would only increase his oversized ego, not to mention he would never let me live it down.

I sat at one of the corner tables with my breakfast. I was looking through my notes for first period when I was rudely interrupted by the squeaky high pitched voices of Marina and co.

“Like, what are you doing here?”

“I know, like, shouldn’t you be in like, the library or something?”

I sighed as someone dumped orange juice on me. I had picked the farthest table from them hoping that I wouldn’t be noticed by them. The cafeteria erupted in laughter as people witnessed the spectacle taking place before them.

“Oops my hand slipped” Noelle mock apologized. “I really didn’t notice you, like; I mean you look so plain that you’re hard to notice.”

Marina and Noelle began giggling and soon the whole cafeteria followed.

Marina O’Hara and Noelle Sanderson, the two most popular and obnoxious girls in school. Marina is Daron’s twin sister and Aaron’s on and off girlfriend. She has fake blond hair and teal eyes like Daron.

Noelle is blond blue eyed with an innocent face but don’t be fooled, she is spoiled, evil and manipulative. She’s worse than Marina. She has this huge crush on Daron and is using Marina but I think Daron found out because he can’t stand her.

“Like, where did you get that sweater ‘The bargain mart’?” Marina sneered.

“Well aren’t you like going to something?” Noelle asked annoyed.

“Marina! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”

“Oh Daron, like how are you?” Noelle flung herself at Daron, who ignored her.

I felt like laughing at her face as she pouted. She looks like an ass.

“Like what did you say?!” Noelle screeched.

Oops did I say that out loud?

“Yes, yes you did,” Daron said amused.

“What did you say?” Noelle asked again.

“Wait let me put that in simpler terms for you. I said like when you do that expression like your face like totally looks like a donkey. Like you know the one that like goes hee haw.”

The whole cafeteria was silent as everyone stared at me in utter shock. I quickly packed my stuff and left. I really don’t care what they have to say; they don’t mean anything to me.

I was sitting in first period English waiting for the teacher when something outside caught my attention. I could feel my anger rising as I ran outside as fast as I could.

“Look she’s crying!” Aaron teased as every one laughed along.

“What do you think you’re doing?” I shouted pushing and shoving through the crowd.

“Gessela don’t cry,” I whispered trying to sooth her.

She was shaking. I couldn’t believe these idiots, it was -30 degrees Celsius outside and they dump freezing cold water on her! Mess with me, fine; I don’t care. Make my friend cry, that’s something else.

“Look it’s the two charity cases. Isn’t it a pretty sight?”

I gritted my teeth. They were seriously starting to piss me off.

“Why don’t you guys just leave? It’s obvious you don’t belong here.” Daron stated.

I was about to retort back, but was cut off by Gessela whispering my name so softly that it’s almost inaudible.

I noticed she was extremely pale and had icicles in her hair. She was shaking. I reached for her forehead and gasped, she was as cold as ice.

Daron hearing my gasp stepped forward and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Hospital” was all I was able to utter in my state of shock.

He stared at me in confusion.

“Call the hospital. I think she might have hypothermia,” I said while desperately searching for my phone.

L&D

I was in the waiting room at the hospital, every once in a while I would glance up at the time. I’ve been sitting here for only about 15 min. but it feels like hours. Finally the doctor stepped into the waiting room with the report.

“Ms. Clyne.” His voice was deep but calm.

I nodded giving him my full attention.

“It is nothing severe, but it was good you called when you did, because this could have been a lot worse.”

“When will she be discharged from the hospital?” I asked.

“When she wakes up.”

I nodded and made my way into Gessela’s room. She seemed less pale in contrast to before and was breathing normally, no longer shaking, thank god. I’m extremely glad she is ok, because if something happened to her I would never be able to forgive myself.

Well seems fine, thought. It was getting late; I guess I should be returning. I need to take the early flight back to Geneva.

I stepped out of her room to find a rather familiar figure blocking my way.

Unconsciously my fists clenched. “What do you want Aaron?”

He ignored my question instead asked, “Is she ok?”

I just glared at him.

He dropped his gaze to the floor and scratched the back of his head.

“I’m sorry” he finally said.

Suddenly something in me snapped.

“Sorry! That’s all you have to say! What would you have done if she had died! Just say that you’re sorry? Sorry is just a word it doesn’t mean anything, it can’t take back what you did.”

He dropped his gaze to the floor again not saying anything. We stayed in silence for I don’t know how long but when he began talking again I had calmed down.

“You really care for her don’t you?” he asked out of the blue.

“Huh.”

“I know what Daron and I did was stupid and we have no excuse but...”

He suddenly became very nervous and, Oh My God is he blushing!?

“Uh, c…can I see her?”

“No.” I said stubbornly, glaring at him.

“I…I see, well I guess I should um leave then? Um… right well, see ya.” He finished awkwardly.

I caught the sadness in his eyes and the look of pure guilt on his face. He looked heart broken.

I sighed; I can’t believe I’m doing this.

“She’s sleeping, don’t wake her.” I said pushing past him.

He looked surprised and I didn’t fail to catch the hint of a smile on his face as he walked in to her room.

I was a few steps away from my dorm when something latched onto my foot. I tried yanking it out but Daron had a death grip on it.

Wait! Daron! With out warning I was pulled down. I landed with a thud beside him, as he wrapped his arms tightly around me.

What the hell is going on!! I struggled against him, but his grip only tightened.

“Let go of me!! What do you think you’re doing!?” I yelled but my voice went unheard in his sleeping state.

What the hell is he thinking sleeping in the middle of the hall!! Has he freaking lost it!!

I continued to struggle but his arms didn’t loosen there grip. My eyelids were beginning to feel real heavy. I yawned, well you know what they say if you can’t beat them join them, I thought before drifting in to unconsciousness in Daron’s arms.
