Chapter 6 Then it clicked . Narissa had driver's licenses from a ton of countries . They thought she'd probably driven fancy rides for rich folks and their spoiled kids . Sure , they weren't hers , but she'd need to know her stuff to avoid wrecking a million - dollar car - she'd be screwed if she did . With that , the room just shrugged it off . " Hey , Narissa , you dig this car ? " Amanda asked , her voice a bit wobbly as she looked at her . " Obsessed . Been dreamin ' of this beast forever , " Narissa replied , her excitement so real it shut down any doubts . ' Bet she just read up on it , never had one , they figured . Narissa hopped into the Lamborghini Reventon and tore down the road , flooring it like a pro . If anyone was in the passenger seat , they'd know her skills were way beyond some basic chauffeur's . Vroom - screech ! The car whipped a clean drift around South Gate Road's corner , parking dead - on at Regality Academy's massive front gate , right where the GPS pointed . As Narissa stepped out , a few teachers who'd gotten the memo rushed over . " Welcome to Regality Academy , Narissa ! " they cheered . Pop ! Pop ! Confetti cannons blasted , dumping a shower of colorful paper on her . Narissa grimaced , her brow twitching . Too extra . She wasn't about this spotlight . The noise at the gate drew a crowd of Regality Academy's elite kids . The hottest gossip in the capital's rich circles ? The Everton family's long - lost second heiress was back . " That the Everton girl they just found ? " someone whispered . " Who else is named Narissa ? " " Let's see what this chick who scrubbed floors abroad looks like ! " " Forget it . She's dressed like she shops at a yard sale - no designer gear . Thinking about her cleaning toilets ? Yeah , I'm skipping lunch . " Two figures pushed through the buzzing crowd : Narissa's older sister , Cressida , and her bestie , Miranda Smith . " Think this janitor can cut it here ? With the martial arts , med training , and shooting classes ? " one guy sneered , not caring Cressida was right there . 1/4 12:02 Tue , Aug 19 G 金 100 % 日 0 X Chapter 6 Another laughed . " Three days , tops . This place is brutal - combat and firearms are basically military - grade . Her ? Bet she knows zilch . " The crowd cracked up , ready to watch Narissa crash and burn . Up front , Miranda nudged Cressida , smirking . " Hey , Cressida , they're tearing into your sis . You gonna stick up for her or what ? " Cressida's face was ice . " I don't have a sister who does gross jobs like that ." " Wow , you really hate her , huh ? " Miranda teased . " Cool , I'll find a way to school her . Don't cry about it later , though . " " Do you ," Cressida scoffed , rolling her eyes and walking off . +15 Narissa stepped into her new class , and the teacher had her give a quick intro before diving into the lesson . Time was money for these rich kids , and no teacher dared waste a second of it . Being her first day , Narissa got a private tutor for her etiquette and arts class . The Evertons set it up , probably to save her from getting roasted for being totally clueless . Narissa didn't care . Fresh off a mission with time to kill , she figured she'd have fun with this . Sure , the fancy lessons were like kid stuff to a trained agent like her , but she was digging it anyway . After her one - on - one session , she stepped out of the private classroom and ran smack into Miranda , who stood there , arms crossed , eyeing her like she was gum on her shoe . " So , you're Cressida's little cleaner sister from overseas , huh ? Narissa , right ? I'm Miranda , her bestie , " she said , all smug . " Guess that makes you my little sis too . " ' Sis ? Please . Narissa saw right through her . This rich girl wasn't here to play nice , and sure enough , Miranda dropped the act fast . " Look , since we're ' sisters , " Miranda smirked , " I can't let you crash and burn . Next is combat boxing . " We girls don't need to be pros , but knowing how to throw a punch ? Total must for high - class ladies ." " Yeah , and ? " Narissa shot back , already over it . " And , " Miranda grinned , " I'm doing you a solid with a quick lesson . Don't thank me - just don't cry when I knock you flat . " Her plan was obvious - she was here to mess with Narissa . The classmates nearby were already snickering . Narissa played along , blinking innocently . " So , I should thank you ? " " Pfft ! " The room erupted in stifled laughs . Everyone knew Miranda was the class " prank queen . " No way she'd help some nobody cleaner . 2/4 12:02 Tue , Aug 19 GO 100 % X 15 Chapter 6 Miranda cracked up , her laugh sharp and mean . " Oh my God , you actually bought it ? " Still chuckling , she leaned in , voice dripping venom . " So , what's the deal with being a cleaner ? " Scrubbing toilets , digging through trash ? Bet you smell like crap , huh ? " The other kids roared , some fanning their noses and stepping back like Narissa was radioactive . Miranda waved it off , still smirking . " Fine , since you're Cressida's sister , I'll go easy . " Answer my question for real , and I might teach you some legit moves so you don't totally bomb next class . " The crowd was eating it up , loving the drama . But Narissa ? She tilted her head , flashing a sly grin . No more playing dumb . She raised an eyebrow and dropped a bomb . " Anyone ever tell you how pathetic you look , acting like a clown trying to dunk on people ? " Narissa said , cool as ice . " Thanks for the heads - up , though - you've made it real clear my sister hates me being back . " But you ? Teaching me to fight ? Sweetie , you're not even in my league ." Boom . Dead silence . Miranda's face twisted with rage - she was the fool now . " You little bitch ! You knew I was screwing with you and still played me ? " she yelled . " And you think I'm not qualified ? Oh , you're toast . " You have no idea what we learn in Regality Academy's combat class . I'm gonna make you eat those words - now ! " Miranda lunged , her moves sharp , her fist slicing the air toward Narissa . She wasn't just showboating - she had real skills . ' No show - off nonsense here , the crowd thought , holding their breath , ' Wow , Narissa really got under Miranda's skin . ' She's got some bad luck , picking a fight with her . Fresh home and already in deep shit .' Miranda wasn't the academy's top fighter , but she was no rookie either - she'd been trained to throw down . These rich kids were trained hard in self - defense - kidnapping was a real risk when they were loaded , so Regality Academy drilled combat into them . In their mind , Narissa , some random girl from the streets ? No way she could handle this . " She's gonna get smashed ," the onlookers whispered . Everyone watched , waiting for Miranda's fist to land . Then - whoosh ! 3/4 12:02 Tue , Aug 19 GO 0 100 % X Chapter 6 Narissa's eyes sharpened , a cold , confident glint flashing through them , like a pro who'd faced worse than this brat and laughed it off . She radiated the vibe of someone who owned the room . And then- 4/4
