1 1_Ranella Whitlock

*******************

Okay, I'm Ranella Whitlock, age 18, 5 foot 5 inches tall, an average height for an average person.

I have moonlight-shaped eyes with hazel-colored eyeballs, shoulder-length pitch-black hair, and plain white skin.

I know exactly what you're thinking, With this kind of description you believe I am pretty, or flawless but sorry to burst your bubble.

I weigh over 30kg, and this is the story of my life.

I was born with a silver spoon, and I grew up with so much care, I was pampered, thanks to my Father, Mr. Stephen Whitlock, who was a business tycoon and a crazy rich billionaire, An advantage I had over my condition.

I was told my mother left when she gave birth to me and he transferred the love he had for her, to me.

He provided everything for me before I even asked.

Due to my Father's excess love for me, I became abdominous, He made sure I ate until I was full and it made it get used to me that I couldn't stop anymore.

Right now I'm standing in front of the mirror, looking at my reflection in displeasure.

"Ranella!!" I heard Beatrice's voice. Bea was my best friend and like the twin sister I never had. She was pretty and had a great body, a girl like her could surely fit into the cool girl's group in school, but Bea is my childhood best friend, who stuck with me, She was there even in my difficult times and always stood up for me.

"Bea!!" I screamed in excitement and ran to embrace her.

"Ready?" She asked and I nodded. We were having a slumber party just us and my little sister, Cherry.

We all agreed to wear rabbit pajamas and I was in awe at how Beatrice looked even in Rabbit pajamas.

"What's the use of you having so many plants In your room when you won't even take care of them?" Beatrice said taking a glance at the flower pots at the window, The flowers were withering, and with a wave of her hand, the flower grew back and bloomed.

Yes, this was the Mystic dimension, we had powers and weird creatures.

Beatrice had the power to control nature. She could make flowers bloom and trees grow. She could control vines and create fruits out of thin air, the perks of having a friend who could control nature was one thing I'll forever be grateful for.

I know you're wondering what my power was, but sorry to disappoint you again.

I have no idea what my powers are, I don't even think I have powers, Even my little sister Cherry had powers, she had a very strong scream capable of bringing down walls or shattering glasses.

Your powers were meant to be awakened at the age of 15, and surface at the burst of emotion. Cherry found out her power on her birthday, She was over-excited when Dad got her the latest iPhone and she ended up screaming in excitement. She brought down our walls.

And me, I was a lost cause, I am eighteen and still powerless, overweight, and utterly useless.

"Okay, let's get this party started, I brought snacks," Cherry said, walking into the room nonchalantly in her rabbit pajamas, She looked so cute and I wanted to pinch her cheeks, but if I did that, I was afraid I'll be sent crashing into one of the walls in my room due to her scream, or worse, my ears may bleed. And I hated blood more than anything else.

She turned on the music and jumped on my bed, bouncing on it and we also joined her. We vibed to Champagne Problems by Taylor Swift. She was Cherry's favorite artist but I preferred Ariana Grande, I had her posters everywhere in my room.

I slipped and fell unexpectedly, then Bea followed and then Cherry, we laid flat on the floor laughing hard as the music kept on playing.

We had a lot of fun, watched horror movies, ate snacks, and talked about boys all through the night.

The next day

After the sleepover, we had to get ready for school. I groaned when I realized how tough school was going to be for me. It was always tough for me considering my condition.

'Honk'

That was Dad's Car, he volunteered to take us to college before going to work.

"Hurry, he's waiting," Cherry said before grabbing her bags and running out of the room.

Bea was helping me style my hair, She packed it in a ponytail and clipped it up with my mother's hairpin, which was a beautiful rose flower hairpin decorated with diamonds. It was the only thing I had left of her.

"All done, let's go," Bea said flashing a smile before running off too. I sighed and stood up, taking slow strides towards the door.

***

Hidden High College, the school for magical teens, was a nice school if not for the secrets and mysteries lurking behind the doors.

Bea and I walked into the schoolyard, then to the hall, Well I was always invisible to the students and the only time I gained attention was when...

"Hey, you!!"(sigh)....when Charlotte and her stupid coheirs start trouble.

Charlotte walked towards me, with her coheirs trailing behind her. I was awed at Charlotte's beauty.

She was the type who liked to shine no matter what, she wouldn't let anyone dim her shine, and anyone who tried to do so always regretted it. So get ready to witness the story of my life and how I survived in this hell of a school.
