Esther POV

Finally, this nightmare called high school will come to an end. No one knows how much I hate to be The Queen of Hive but I need to do it cause I have born to be the leader not to stay at the corner side. At least this are the lessons I got from my parents.

"You have been born to do great things Esther."says my father every time I got top in my grades.

He and mum are the rock in my life. Outsiders see them as selfish people, superficial, antisocial, not as a real couple. From day one they bullied my mother for being a simple girl who got married to the most wanted bachelor in the USA at that time. They don't know that their story is like to take some pages from these books that now are making literature Billionaires that fall in love with simply girls that show them a hard time. My mum could be anything but never a hunter for money, she had her own company at age 20 when she met my father in a fundraiser. He falls in love with her eyes that gives him cold looking all the time he glared at her. He thought she must be the daughter of one of his colleagues that are older than him. But no she was specially invited because of her recent crown winning. My father moves heaven and earth only to talk to her after the party. Almost five months passed when she accept his invitation after he did the threat to close her little company of Inverno cloths. My mum is from Alaska. My dad's charming goes only with other women for my mum he went and spend an entire winter in her homeland. A true love story for a book, but this is not for them. I was telling how hard is to be me, this statement sound familiar to me, yes once Mia Colucci (Rebelde) said: "¡Es tan difícil ser yo!"
I watch this cause I need it to perfect my Spanish when I was 8 my father had just started his business in Mexico City. I liked them even I went to one of the concerts they hold there.

True my parents love each other but after having me they got focused on their jobs and abandoned me in that mansion, till that last day of summer 11 years ago. They become super protective of me, never let me alone again. They took me with them, my mum's job was now only to design clothes as was her most likely thing in the world after passing time with me teaching about fashion. Father came and teach me about numbers, architecture, and economics. I stop going to school I got to study at home and took the final test before four teachers as I would copy.
Piano lessons get behind I never surpassed losing my teacher, my uncle Sam and my first real friend, although still hurt like hell.

I didn't bother to be home study as I know for some kids this could be horrible because I pass quality time with my mum and dad that become my best friends.

I was used to watch the world and finishing school from one state to another country but as soon I turn 15 my life changed and I step into High-Hell sorry School.

Flashback start 

« Honey, this is for your own good» mum said as is checking my clothes for the tenth time.

« Yes, Honey Bee finally you gone have a normal life, you will love it.» my father said watching me from the mirror as is driving us to school.

« I look terrible with teeth braces, these two acnes, and I don't want to go to school.»I said in my almost crying act.

« No, no, no! This act keeps it for later, you will need it!»said my father that knows me perfectly.

«Acnes will go in a few days, and braces for a couple of months and remember you are more beautiful than you think, you took from my beauty» state my mum kissing my front head.

«Wait, women, that beauty is from me too, you are not the only one with green eyes,I am too so she mast take them from me ok!» my dad said turning his head to us as was parking.

« This is so great, only my eyes are beautiful here hmm?!»I confront them.

«You are perfectly beautiful if someone dares to say the contrary, you have a free hand to teach them to respect you.»my father told to me after we drop out of his Hummer.

« Anthony don't give her ideas.» my mum cleared her throat.

« She is my heir and no one inside those walls or outside will make her feel bad, for this my little star don't spare no one.»

Flashback end 

My father's words still rang in my head like this bell that invites me to enter the school garden.

Even now that had past years those 4 months were a living hell. How is possible that 15 years can be so cruel to each other and they are not anyone kids. Sorry for saying this but their parents are rich, VIP and not TV kind but like General, senator, Gurvenator, children and nephews that act like savage animals some time worst cause they,I mean animals don't do it intentionally just follow instinct.

They didn't stop with just irony or sarcastic jokes about my parents or my parent's relationship, their acts were awful. I never bent to them I was a leader and soon they find out from where I came from.

Between my father and mother more interesting I find numbers than fashion but that day I need it , so I went to her work.

Flashback start...

« Mum I want to talk to you.» I said and she put the phone down even put it off, cancels the next meeting and I have her full attention.

«Yes, honey bee tell me what's wrong.»

« If i will not see it this very necessary i will never come here for that.»

« Esther if is for dropping school i can't help you there. Honey, you know this. »

« I know that I am here for you to help me to become a Queen Bee of that hive!» I said to her holding my tears of range.

«They never give up.Messing with you I meant»

« No.»

« Well, they need to pay for messing with my girl, tell me their name and they will be out of there.» said my mum with the phone in her hand. I took the phone and put it down.

« I am not a snitch mum, and I don't want this I want to bit them in their own game. If they were all boys I will use my force but I can't do that with girls that cry for breaking nails, and can't fight back. »

« I am proud to hear this but as your father said to protect ourselves we need to use everything we have and I know you didn't use your force because that what your Sensei told you, but you can use a bit of force and much more attitude, to show them who is the leader there. »

« Mum besides when you get married to dad; have you ever been bullied in HighSchool. »

« Yes because I wasn't so beautiful, I had those braces and acnes but everything changed when I get rid of them and become this swan I'm now,» she laughed on her remark.

 « You are not alone kiddo I am with you now!» she gave me her bear hug.

(My mum gives me some advice on how to walk, how to use my tone, and how to kill with one look.)

I walk like I'm walking right now throw that hall of hell when princess Sirena came in front of me and pushed me making my books and myself fall to the ground. Her hive start to laugh with others who came by. My tears were threatening to come down. I took a deep breath and got up, as she was pirouetting before the audience I took her left hand and twisted it back to her spine, and pushed harder to the window.

«Pick up my books!»I order as she was squirreling to get released.

«I can't do it, stop you are hurting me! Ah! » she cried in an almost pleading voice.

« I am not saying to you but your hive!» I glared at those girls with a deadly look and they start to pick them up. They handled in my hand and I released her arm.

«From now on I'm Queen of this Hive, who dare to define my leadership will face the worst consequences!» I exclaimed.

Announcing this they almost bow before me. My mum was right self-confidentiality, voice, look, and walk can make you a leader. You may wonder why I didn't go directly to my father he has all of this well my mum provides other things. I will tell you later.

«Girl let's go!» Siren shout to them, but they didn't move to her words.

«They are my bees now dear princess, and do not worry I will be a better Queen than you. Now go find another hive ex-queen!» I couldn't believe I was talking like that to her, she did so shameless thing to me and others, I swear I wanted to punch her so much but I controlled myself cause she is just a little bee now.

Now present time

« Hi! » the choir of bees yelled as they saw me coming toward my locker. All of them are waiting for me? Do you know why? Little guess? Even if you may guess you can't hear it so I am telling you better write it down.

They are waiting for the invitation to the fashion week of December that my mum organizes since I got here.

They are dying to know who will be part of the runway this year. I made my mum a huge promise to let every one of my hives not just them but I include even boys who want to participate.

This runway show had kept my bees in control since that time but we are more than just a Hive we are friends. Before friendship came ,the interest in fashion come first. Now came the moment I say « I will tell you later»

« In high school, you use my reputation honey cause when you go to college they gonna come after you for just a good internship in your father's company. » These were the words of my mum but even she likes my friends now.

My bees-friends are cute naive girls that just want to be next to Kyle Jenner or Bella Hadid. Wait they have potential in many ways too. Don't get them wrong each of them has a super quality. I wish them all the best and only hope they may want the same for me. I am not a very trusted persona got it from my parents.

The promise to my mum start years ago when she asks only one day in the month to fully spend with me from spa to photo shooting and now with this runway, I am or the first or the last in the runway. You know what, I loved cause like this my bees/ friends take the lead. I am their bee, they do make-up and dress me taking care in detail. Nilam who's from Rajasthan, India always put me a black point behind my ear as she says a mantra in her language which I am learnin' with her. I love her accent. She is the spiritual guide she put us in good mood every time we loosed.

« What is new this year May? »I ask our journalist.

« Is a boy that gone do two years in one, he has a younger sister that goes to the first building. Misses Noël will be missing cause she had twins just two days ago. »

« Sonia prepares a present from us, use our funds. Else May? »

« Damian still is asking you to be his prom date.»

«Prom needs 9 months to come and he is asking since you became 16 years »said Lucy.

«I will never give a chance to that punk, he with his ex made my life miserable I do not forget easily, you know that. » I was angry with them but I hurt them so I need to fix it.

« Sorry girls but when his name comes up my nerves take over me so I will give you the news that only I knew it and will make you happy. Ready?!»

« What is? » May intervene, it's a news and she wants to know first.

« Nilam, Sonia, May, Angel, Lucy and of course me, will perform to the fashion week this year before Christmas but you five need to find 20 other models boy and girls from other Hives and Tribus here  age over 15. »

They were shocked for a few seconds then start to bounce hug and air-kissing. They have one of their wish to become judges. This will be fun.

We were leading to our class I was checking my phone before turnin' off as policy of the school. I want to move but I got stuck, I raised my head, to meet him the boy dressed in black, with a baseball hat on, some books in his hand, and of course wireless headphones. All school froze at that moment. I hate when this moment comes. All eyes were on me, on him, on us. He must be the new guy May told us because no one dare to stare at me as he is doing. Behind him were Sirena's hive and Damian Tribu.

He is one head above me and still watching me I glare at him  through his glasses as he could listen to the thoughts that were screaming to him « Just go! Please don't make me do this ?!».

I am hating myself right now, but if I need my serenity to be safe I need to do it. I look at my hive and they were ready. Again I try to give him a chance and move to my left he moved to his right again face to face.

« 5 » I said in a higher tone.
