Chapter 11 Mia's life
Chapter 11 Mia's life
After taking a deep breath, Amanda said calmly, "Madam, I...I am little under the weather."
There were mirrors all around the room, and Amanda didn't need to look back to see the faces of each of the girls, who seemed surprised and stared at her as if they had heard something incredible.
Madam Gorski looked at her in surprise, too, and said, "Rae Yan, you are up."
Rae Yan took one look at Amanda before standing out and stepping into the middle of the practice room; Amanda and the rest of the girls stepped aside.
As the music played, Rae Yan danced gorgeously and effortlessly, her long, loose hair flying over her face, her eyes blurred and sexy. Some of the girls wriggled with her to the music, and Amanda heard a few whispering: "The dance queen is acting strange today. Usually, even when her period comes and it hurts like hell, she won’t let go of such chance to demonstrate in front Madam and everyone else. What do you think is wrong with her today?”
"Look at her legs; she cannot even close them properly; last night must be a tough night for her as she lost her virginity!"
"Really...No wonder...What a slut..."
Amanda frowned; the "dance queen" they were talking about must be Mia. Mia was so flexible that she even earned the flattery from Aaron Gu; and within the body, Amanda felt a strong urge to dance to the rhythm of the music and she had to remained her composure as every cell was throbbing. And it was an instinct of the body not of Amanda.
"Pa pa pa --"
As the music broke off, Madam Gorski clapped her hands, followed by a flood of applause; Amanda joined in; and Rae Yan lifted her hand to brush away some of the sweaty hair from her face and lifted
her chin to smile.
"Yes, Rae Yan did a great job. Come on, everybody."
Madam Gorski commanded.
Girls took their places and formed two lines, one of which was led by Rae Yan at the head, and the other of which clearly for Amanda.
However, Amanda did not move but continued to take a rest by the side; she had said that her body was not feeling well, how can she be inconsistent? She took the chance to scrutinize everyone girl in the room; and, indeed, Rae Yan did it best; another girl, who seemed to be absent-minded, looked back at Amanda from time to time.
Soon, the morning passed; the girls were all gathered around Madam Gorski as she concluded the morning practice and gave an encouraging speech to the girls: “The university entrance exam is in days, after that you would be the senior of the school; whether it is the dancing courses or general knowledge courses, you have to work extremely hard and pay extra efforts for you own dream. Mia, Rae Yan, you two are my best students and also the best students of the school. I hope that you settle down and work hard for your future. Don’t do anything stupid to ruin yourself, your future!” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Madam Gorski glanced at Amanda's face as she said these words. Then she clapped her hands and dismissed the class
The girls packed up and went back to the locker room to change. Only Amanda and Rae Yan were left in the training room. Suddenly, Rae Yan came up to Amanda and said in a harsh voice, "Mia, what did you mean?! You have never yielded such demonstration chance to me. Yet on this, you know I'm not proficient in this hip-hop dance, so you want to see me make a fool of myself, right?!"
"Ahhh, No!? I think you did a good job." Amanda smiled and complimented.
But the compliment turned into sarcasm in the ears of Rae Yan; she fumed: "Mia! Let’s wait and see; I won't lose to you! You think you are better than me?! Your boyfriend, the first place will all be mine!"
"Well, try me." Amanda picked up her backpack on the floor, her eyes sweeping over Rae Yan, her tone bland.
"Mia! I warn you! Don’t go too far on this!” As Rae Yan shouted behind her as she walked away indifferently; there was something she needed to confirm and she was not into the girls play between Mia and Rae Yan.
Back in the dormitory building and locating Mia’s room and bed, Amanda found Mia’s bed to be clean and clear and that the life for her was straitened as she had expected. Unlike other girls, who had each owned their personal computer and countless dazzling clothes, cosmetics and snacks, she had nothing in her locker; but everything was tidy and clean as if someone just cleared them up.
Amanda suddenly felt a bit sad about Mia; where was her soul since she took over her body? She had help her survive last night’s humiliation. She was going to live her life and avenge herself with the body of this little girl.
Without a personal computer, Amanda went to the school's computer room, which was now empty except for a few young boys who gathered to play computer games and swore from time to time.
Amanda opened the web page and typed in her name; popping out on the front page was the encyclopedia of Baidu titled "The Fall of the Talented Designer", which had filled in the birthday and death day of her, 1986.8.5-2011.3.7 and the cause of her death of Royal Garden International Hotel fire.
It even gave out a description of Bill Fu’s interview; according to the Bill Fu oral account, on the day of his parents-in-law’s return from a trip to Europe, he had set up welcome-back banquet in Royal Garden International Hotel for them; his father-in-law Mr. Juan and his wife Amanda were the first ones
attending while he was picking up his mother-in-law from beauty salon; a fire breaking out parted him away forever from his beloved wife after his struggle to save her. Mrs. Juan lost her sanity after the accident and was not yet recovered; he was left alone hear-broken and struggled to arrange for everything from funeral to the family business...
Such a talented actor.
If Bill Fu set his foot in the entertainment business, he would be the best actor of the year.
Beloved wife? Heart-broken!
Amanda was aching to find out Bill Fu, stabbed him in the chest, and let him to taste the pain she was now feeling!
However, she can't.
Now, she was thousands of miles away in C City; she was Mia, a teenager high school student, a nobody; what could she do even Bill Fu was right in front of her? Could it be any easier for Bill Fu, who had set up such a horrific arson that killed her father and threw her body into the icy Ciwi Lake, to destroy the current her, a little girl?
Why didn't the police even suspect Bill Fu, who was clearly the biggest suspect? Why the public opinion was largely one-sided for him and none of my father's old friends came forward to question him?
Amanda continued to search; those so-called partners and friends of her father, on the contrary to coming forwards and questioning him, were throwing out their olive branches to Bill Fu, expressed their condolence and supports to Bill Fu and wished to continue the partnership with him on the business.
Amanda looked at the screen as her hands squeezed the mouse so hard as if to crash it; she were itchy to rip him out of the screen and stab him like crazy. How could he be so shameless and ruthless to kill her father and her so brutally before using the prestige of Juan family to promote his own career!
How to right the wrong?
Amanda calmed herself down and thought! She remembered that she had taken a video of Bill Fu and Lily Shen making out at the hotel that day and she had uploaded it to her email...
However, when Amanda tried to log onto her email account; it had been unregistered, so were all accounts that were registered under her ID.
Bill Fu erased her completely; she died cleanly with nothing left.
Lydia Du...
Amanda suddenly thought of her best friend; but a bad feeling rose from bottom of her heart; she had asked for her help before the accident and if Bill Fu found out, what would he did to her? Was she....
As Amanda scrambled to reach Lydia Du, the female electronic voice inside repeated, "Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service."
The phone slipped as Amanda felt extremely concerned; did Bill Fu lay hands on Her?! And her mother, the news said that she lost her sanity; and the reality could only be worse, how was she?
A feeling of bewilderment and fear enveloped her completely for the first time after the rebirth of Amanda. What should she do? Her enemies was leading a colorful life while her loved ones were either dead or suffering; what she could now do was but meaningless speculation; she wanted get back to T City right away, but she cannot even afford the fares...
Well, she shouldn't have torn the check that Aaron Gu had given to her into pieces this morning; dignity was nothing in the face of reality!
Amanda came back to herself until someone came yelling: "Rest time over, go to class now!"
The old man in charge of the computer room knocked on Amanda's desk, and when he saw the tear marks on her face, he was take aback and said, "What's wrong, girl? Why are you crying? Come one, whatever you are being through, you would get over it. Go before you are late and get punished."
Amanda stood up mechanically, walked to the door numbly; just outside the computer room and under a tree, a squat middle-aged man standing under the shade. Amanda recognized him immediately, the fat man of last night--Mr. Hu.
Mr. Hu saw her too; he threw a lustful and greedy glance at her.
