Chapter 1

"Kapella!". Mrs. Elijah's voice rage as she moved out of the kitchen with a Pan.

"Almost up Mom". A femanine voice replied from the floor above.

"Do I have to remind you that you've missed one week already?".

"I know Mom so just drop the pan before you're tempted to use it on me". Kapella said as she walked down the stairs full of smiles.

She had an average height and her straight hair was in a big bun style that her Panama hat barely covered.

Her blue T-shirt and trouser matched with her enticing blue eyes.

Mrs. Elijah heaved as she retreated the pan.

"You're beyond beautiful each passing day and what could be the secret?". She said returning to the kitchen.

"I eat sea food alot and I don't yell at people". She replied.

"What!".

"Ops! My bad, you should try Sea food everyday Mom". Kapella said as she pecked Mrs. Elijah.

"Fish gives protein not beauty".

"But I love to eat fish and fish alone, every other thing gets to taste gross". She said.

"You're 18, We shouldn't be talking about this anymore, you enjoy Sea food than any other meal and so we provide it in abundance".

"Why am I different? From everyone, what's special or strange about me?". She asked.

"You should get going you're gonna be late". Mrs. Elijah said as she tried to get herself busy.

"Are you gonna keep ignoring, I know I'm different from others, a big difference, you all get to eat normal meal, I try to eat much of it and I puke out". She said.

Mrs. Elijah inhaled and turned back.

"Because you're special, So don't complain now and just move on with life as usual".

"The fact that you always warn me not to tell anyone means there's a secret".

"You're special that's it, there are kids like you out there".

"Really?".

"Yes..So don't be hard on yourself".

"I guess I'm ready now". She sat as she squat to adjust her shoe.

"Mom, Where's Dad?". A ten year old boy said as he entered the Kitchen in his uniform and a backpack behind him.

"Steve, I'll be with you in minute". Mrs. Elijah said.

He took off Kapella's hat and wore it.

"Give that to me".

"Mom, Do I look like Kapella.

Mrs. Elijah couldn't help to but scoff as she took it off his head.

"You can never be me". She grinned and he frowned angrily.

"Don't be harsh on your brother, he's just a kid".

"One who doesn't know his place". She snapped.

"Give it to me". He whispered.

"No". She fired.

"I'll tell Mom". He whispered.

"She can hear you already, so don't threaten me little bottle". She said gripping his nose.

"Mom, Kapella didn't make her hair!". He announced.

She gasped as she quickly covered his mouth.

She took off the hat and wore it for him.

"You look charming". She stammered.

"Too late". He whispered. "Thanks". He added and marched out with the oversized hat.

"Tell me it's a lie, Daughter".

Mrs. Elijah grabbed the Barratte on her hair and removed it thereby unclasping Kapella's hair.

Her long hair fell down freely past her waist.

Mrs. Elijah scoffed as she leaned against the kitchen cabinet.

"The Stylist was here yesterday, wasn't she?".

"No. She called back that she was too busy to come". Kapella said.

"And you decided to have it your way, take a look at your hair, it ain't normal, it".

"It looks like that of Disney Character, Rapunzel, although mine is barely touching the floor, it looks cute".

"Cute or not, you know people mustn't see this".

"C'mon Mom, I get to cut my hair every week for the past...... I guess it since when I was born, you should take a break". She said.

"It's for a reason and you have to trust me on that".

"Alright Mom, Just this week, I'll make sure I clasp it well into a bud style like the one I had before you ruin it". She frown.

"I'll call the Stylist".

"Mom, Am late already".

"Fine, Go have your seat, I'll do it".

××Phoenix High School××

Students trooped into the gigantic buildings as they alighted from their various transit.

The Bus, some parents dropped off their kids and the Rich flaunt their flashy cars as they drove to the VIP garage.

A Dodge Viper GTS halt in front of the gate as it window slide down revealing Kapella and her Mom.

"And here we are, after trying to rip your little brother apart".

"Don't start again Mom, He took what was mine, threaten or actual try to blackmail me and then drew sponge Bob on my hat, that was my favorite". She snapped.

"You still Watch Sponge Bob, that kid show? ".

"Um..Maybe". Kapella said and hurried out.

"What do I get to tell the Principal, that I puked for days after I stubbornly eat lot of pancake". She added.

"I spoke with him already, Just go to school and be a good girl". Mrs. Elijah is and she turned to leave.

"And?".

Kapella turned back with a smirk.

"Don't take off your bracelet, never take it off".

"Seriously Mom, I've been wearing this since I was born, why would I take it off now?". She asked.

"Good".

"But Mom is it some sort of protection object, was our ancestors Magicians, what does it do?".

"Good day, Kapella". Mrs. Elijah said as she wore her shades.

She hit the accelerator with her foot and the vehicle shot off.

"hush!". She said as she turned back to the gate.

Kapella was walking through the hallway when she almost bumped into another student.

"Sorry". She said raising her head up and their eyes met.

"Kapella!". The Girl screamed as they hugged tightly attracting the attention of everyone at the hallway.

She was dark skinned more of a black American with wavy hair.

"Cindy". Kapella whispered.

"It's been so long friend, you didn't bother to call, I didn't know your place and then you delayed a week before returning from summer break". Cindy said frowning.

"I lost my phone during summer break, Good thing you don't know where I live and I resumed late because I was sick for good one week". Kapella whispered.

"Sick? Were you pregnant?".She asked and Kapella punched her arm.

"Ouch!".

"Yeah. Pregnant with stomach disorder".

"That's bad but I know you're fine now, babe, it will take more than a disorder to put Faceless down". She said.

"Shhh someone is coming". Kapella said as a boy approached them.

"Kapella meet my little brother, Francis".

"I'm not little". He snapped.

"Francis, meet my best friend, Kapella".

"Oh she is...nice meeting you, my sister talked alot about you and she was right, you're beautiful, Like she said I'm Francis". She said stretching his hand for a shake but Cindy slapped it down.

"That will be all, Find your level, let's go babe". Cindy said as she held Kapella's hand.

"Welcome back, Ella!". Voices rang from different corners of the hallway as they walked toward a classroom.

"Hi!". She said as she waved at them.

"So cool to be popular right?".

"No am not".

"Yes you are, Such a beauty beyond human reasoning, pretty good voice that melt people's soul, you should go into pop singing". Cindy said.

"You're always good at making jokes". She said and they laughed.

"But I really meant that". She said and they entered into the classroom.

"It's so good to be back". She said as she sat beside Cindy.

"I can't believe this how can Camping fee become two thousand dollars, this school is shit!". A Student cursed.

"You speak like you can't afford it". Another said.

"Of course my parent can but it's just too high and seems Faceless has retired". He said.

"That's right, I was planning to spend my fees when my parents ping it into my account but since Faceless isn't showing up I'll have to reconsider ". A Chubby Boy said and they laughed.

"Every advantage have a disadvantage". Cindy whispered.

"That's just right, hacking into school database making it look like everyone paid for the sake of the poor but the rich takes it as an opportunity to lavish more".Kapella whispered back.

"This is a school for the Rich, Ella, why do people come when they know they can't cope with the fees". Cindy replied.

"Everyone wants to be in the best school but reality is sometimes unfair". Kapella said.

"I just don't understand why you chose to take this on yourself".

"Cos I chose to and we're going in tonight"

"What!". Cindy said in a low tone.
