My barbie.

One.

"Ooohh girl, look at her. She looks like an anime character with those ugly glasses."Wendy whispered to her friend Ashley in class, referring to a girl named Natasha

"I mean who does she think she's gonna attract? Ace the janitor?"Wendy said making them laugh

"She just thinks she's better than everybody because she lives in a rich neighborhood and dresses up in designer."Ashley said popping her gum

"Right."Wendy seconded

"Ladies, keep it down please or get out of my class. And Miss Fourie spit out that gum."Mr Zwide told Ashley sternly

"Okay sir."She stood up and swayed towards the dustbin

Her short skirt revealed more than what it was supposed to but she felt comfortable, she wanted to show her body off. Ashley was the hoe at school, she let any guy she came across under her skirt.

Natasha heard them but pushed her glasses up and continued working, ignoring them. Her feelings were hurt but decided to let it slide. Once the bell rang she was happy as hell to go to her next lesson, she packed up and handed her assignment in and went over to the next class but as she walked out, she got bumped by Ashley in the corridors which made her stumble a bit.

She then shrug it off and started walking to her next class.

"Can I just finish school already?" She asked herself

She was only 16 and in Grade 10, which was her senior year. She was cute, light-caramel skinned, short and had a slim-thick body which made all the boys come her way. That's why most of the girls at school dont like her, because their boyfriends always checked her out, some even asked her out but she's not about that life.

She's innocent, focused and just wants to get her NSC certificate. After that she'll get any boyfriend that she wants.

She does come from a rich family although her parents divorced two years ago, and her mom got custody of her, although her father is still very much involved in her life. She has a younger brother who's 12 by another mother, but he lives with her dad. They see each other though on special occasions. Her mother is an architect and decided to open a boutique called Gail's designs her dad is a lawyer.

Natasha and her mother currently live in Constantia, but they used to live in the luxurious Val de Vie estate in Paarl, both surburbs are in Cape Town. Natasha had been homeschooled her whole life, but then that came to an end when her parents divorced so she had to attend a private high school at the beginning of 8th grade. Since she wasn't used to being around people, it overwhelmed her and took quite a while to adjust to attending school.

She took her classes and when end of day came, she hurriedly walked out of school and waited for her mother outside. She had swimming lessons outside of school and couldn't wait to go.

"Hey babygirl, lemme talk to you for a minute."An ordinary guy called her out

She turned up her nose and took her phone out, giving it her full attention.

"Aye I know you hear me talking to you."He said walking closer to her

He was light-skinned, tattooed, hazel eyes and waves. He was every girl's bad boy dream. He had a skateboard underneath his arm and some headphones around his neck, his uniform was a bit untidy since he didnt tuck in his shirt.

Natasha still ignored him, but he stood next to her.

"Sup shawty."He said smoothly making her look up

"Hello."She replied softly

"Yohhh, you look even sexier in close range sweetheart."He smirked

"Uhm thank you, I guess."She politely told him

She knew all he wanted was booty, so she tried brushing him off thinking that he'll leave.

"Look I know its kinda old fashioned and all, but can i get your name?"He asked

"Uhm, Natasha."She said

"Nice, I'm Shawn."He said

Before he could mouth another word, her mom arrived.

Thank God. She thought and immediately went over to the passenger side

Before she could go all the way he grabbed her hand.

"So I can't get your number?"He asked

"Uhm maybe tommorow, but please excuse me. I have somewhere to be."She said

He chuckled.

"You sound so white, but its okay. Imma look out for you tommorow then."He said letting go off her hand and she immediately walked to her mom's car

"Look at that ass."He commented

Natasha heard his comment but ignored him getting in the car. After getting in, her mom immediately burned a hole in her face.

"Hi mom."Natasha greeted putting seatbelt on

"Natasha what have I told you about being friendly with these boys?"She asked

"I wasn't-"

"Well you better not, because I specifically told you what you're here for and a relationship is not one of them. Right now, what you need to be focusing on, is building your career so that you dont have to worry about college."Gail told her pulling off

Natasha just kept quiet because they have went over this a thousand times. Gail was able to get Natasha into a beauty school during the weekends so that she can learn everything now and when she graduated she wouldn't have to worry about college and just start her career right away. Natasha wants to do make-up tutorials and be a make-up artist, maybe even own a boutique like her mother. She wanted to make sure she achieved her goals.

"So how was your day?"Gail asked her whilst driving

Natasha sighed.

"Same old, same old. I learned, chilled alone at break, learned again with all these girls giving me dirty looks and boys giving me looks of thirst. And now here I am."She said nonchalantly

"You still haven't made friends?"Her mom asked

"Nope."She replied popping the p

"Well that's kind of a blessing since friends can steer you in the wrong direction, trust me you're better off alone sweetheart. If they all hate your vibe then fuck them."Gail said confidently

"Mom."Natasha gasped

"What Nat? I'm just stating facts, you gotta keep it real sometimes."She said trying to be ghetto

Natasha just laughed at her mom, making her laugh too. They eventually pulled up to the swimming academy.

"Have fun babygirl, I'll be back later."Gail told Natasha as she got out the car

"Thanks mom I will. Bye."She said

"Bye."

Gail pulled off and Natasha walked into the academy and started her lessons. When she finished, Gail got her again and they drove home.

Gail cooked some dinner which was some Brocoli and Cheese casserole, with a side of Roasted Pork chops and vegetables. After finishing up her homework, Natasha took a shower and had dinner with her mother. They then chilled a little, till it was Natasha's bedtime. She bid Gail goodnight and headed upstairs.

Natasha sighed as soon as she slid in her bed, thinking about how she'll be seeing the same biscuit heads tommorow.
