CRYSTELLE

The teacher finally walked into the classroom and a hush fell over the room. The students got seated immediately and the lesson began.

The teacher scanned her eyes towards the room and finally spotted Mia, she smiled amicably and with a saccharine tone she spoke, "Why, we have a celebrity in our midst" and the class erupted with loud cheers at that comment.

Despite, the episode which played out few minutes ago, they were still hardcore fans of Ultraviolet and having one of their members schooling with them was mind-blowing. They still couldn't get over the fact that they had a celebrity in their school.

Mia just looked at them indifferent and waved at the teacher, indicating for her to go on. She still didn't forget that it was this same students who were jeering at her best friend some minutes ago. Hmph, she wasn't going to dine with the devil that easily...

Seeing her reaction, the students all had one thought in mind and that was that all these Asian students were prideful. Well all except their prince. The prince here was no other person than Li Shen. Although the boy had not acknowledged them but his temperament felt warm and easily approachable and so they viewed him as a warm sunlight in a vast snowy land.

The teacher immediately began her teaching and everyone started taking notes.

Kiaraa, Yuna and Mia were all sitting together with Kiaraa at their middle.

"Yuna, the guy who wanted to have lunch with me didn't show up, why?" Kiaraa whispered and Yuna just shrugged before answering,

"Maybe something came up, and you left in a hurry too."

Kiaraa nodded slightly, "Sigh....I just used my Crystelle cherry lipgloss for nothing."

"You mean the new lip gloss from Crystelle?" Mia finally joined in and Kiaraa nodded.

Mia smirked lightly, "I had an inkling that you had it, how did Lili let it go?" she probed further.

Kiaraa scoffed and played with her hair. "Does she have a choice? It's mine to begin with."

"Hmmmm, you have a point." Mia nodded and continued, "Between you and Lili, I wonder why you are the youngest."

Kiaraa broke into a huge grin still playing with her hair, "Darling besty Mia, is that a compliment?" she asked confidently and Mia gave a short laugh before replying, "Darling besty Ara, you know better than to take my words as a compliment" and Kiaraa fell silent after that.

Yuna: "..." How did I get dragged out of this conversation?

The teacher: "..." What's going on in my class? Was it too late to tell the administration board to stop admitting more Asian students? Because they were really causing chaos and just by that thought, she could already feel an headache coming.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

The day went smoothly for Kiaraa until the dismissal bell finally rang and that's when all her troubles began...

"Are you nuts? Why would you do such a thing" Mia scolded and Kiaraa rubbed her throbbing temples while regretting the actions she had taken earlier.

"Sigh...I really don't know what came over me to propose a detention upon myself, I admit that I felt a little bit guilty for what I did and my actions were too abrupt." Kiaraa said with a frown settled on her elegant face. Earlier, while she was talking to the principal she has proposed a detention for herself out of 'coutsey' and now she was regretting every word she said.

Mia scoffed with arms crossed, "You felt guilty? For goodness sake Ara, those girls slandered you but I admit that sending them to the hospital was a little bit overboard, you would have gone for a slightly less punishment."

"What should I do Mia?" Kiaraa asked and Mia raised a brow at her,

"How am I supposed to know? you brought this upon yourself girl so you better bear the consequences alone. Yuna will be taking me to a café, I'll text you the address, see ya later." With that said, she picked up her bag and walked out of the class.

Kiaraa poured with annoyance, "What a lovely friend I have..." she remarked sarcastically and walked out of the classroom towards the detention hall.

On getting to the detention hall, no one was there but the teacher. The teacher raised her head when Kiaraa walked in and with her thin rimmed glasses with a messy bun hanging at the top of her head, she nodded at Kiaraa slightly and Kiaraa rolled her eyes.

"How long am I supposed to be here Miss Martins?"

"An hour and thirty minutes, miss Lee." Kiaraa nodded and walked straight to a seat.

She brought out her drawing tablet and started sketching the draft of a jewelry design. She had been so busy lately, that she had been slacking off when it came to her work but now that everything is almost settled, she couldn't postpone things further.

Crystelle, the number one sought out fashion brand in the world was owned and mysteriously managed by Kiaraa. Although, no one knew who the president of Crystelle is, but still, the company still thrived greatly and has managed to become the top fashion brand in the world in just a span of two years.

The company was a gift from her mother on her sixteenth birthday. That year, Mia had just debuted with ultraviolet and with her sister and best friend gone, it was obvious that the girl was lonely.

Her mother noticed this and felt sorry for her daughter. Im Nari, Kiaraa's mother who had always been the affectionate and doting mother couldn't bear to see her daughter so lonely, so she asked Kiaraa if she wanted to join the entertainment industry just like her sister and best friend but Kiaraa gave a negative reply saying that she would love to have her own fashion brand instead.

Im Nari, had always been the fashion freak right from her youthful years. Before getting married, she was a model but she couldn't continue her career when she gave birth to her first child because she wanted to fully take care of her children. She was greatly delighted that one of her offspring took after her, so she immediately took it into action and got Kiaraa a fashion boutique for her sixteenth birthday.

Initially, it wasn't as famous as it was now but given Kiaraa's determination and hardwork, she had managed to turn a little boutique into the greatest fashion empire dealing with jewelries from rare gemstones in the world, fashion designs and cosmetics.

Everything was going well until a particular crisis.....
