Resurrection of the Legacy

CHAPTER 1

Super straight black hair, an ACDC slim tee, dark jeans, Louboutin heels and gold accessories. That was what Julez Everard was wearing as she walked into the cafeteria of Winchester High Private School. As the hottest teen rock star of today, she is use to people staring at her in awe.


Nobody would believe that Julez came to personally meet me, Sienna Carlson, the ordinary girl in the materialistic world of Winchester. Everyone assumed she was there to meet up with the notorious Valerie Langdon or her also notorious hot brother, Miles.


Everyone was surprised when Julez sat down next to me. I could see Valerie's expression across the cafeteria, a dangerous expression of shock and envy. Valerie could not stand the fact that someone else has something more than her like being friends with a rock star. I for one was happy to have a great friend like Julez and it does not matter if she was a rockstar or not.



"Hey Sienna! God, it's been forever since I’ve seen you," Julez said while making a hand gesture to signal her 2 bodyguards to give her some privacy.


"Hi Julez. What a way to make an entrance," I said sarcastically.
"Sorry about that. I meant to call but it’s been a busy day. I'm actually here to discuss with you something important. Are you like free tomorrow?” she asked while adjusting her gold bangle.


"Yeah I am. Exams just finished yesterday. Where do you want to meet?"
"Well I don't want to meet up somewhere public cause I hate to see those annoying paparazzi. How about we meet here after school?" she asked as she stood up.


"That’s cool. By the way, what is so important?" I asked. She flipped her black hair and said," It's about the song that we made"



By 8th period, the whole school was talking about Julez Everard's visit and the fact that I made a song with her. I actually met Julez when she first signed up with my dad's record company. She was a sweet innocent looking girl with a lot of talent. 3 number 1 hits, a platinum album and 2 MTV Video Music Awards later, Julez is still a sweet girl but she shed all her innocence. Who knew that behind all the goodness lies a true rocker chic?


The next day, Julez messaged me to meet her at the music room of our school. Our school's music room has the most state of the art equipment. It has every instrument you can imagine. Brass instrument for the band, string instruments for the orchestra and all the necessary instruments for a rock band. It even has a recording booth and top notch MAC mixers. You could record an album there if you wanted too.

I met Julez there at 3.15 that day. She looked stunning in a long striped hoodie, puffy mini skirt and Marc Jacob ballerina flats.

"Hey Julez, have you been here long?" I asked while sitting down.

"I just arrived 5 minutes ago. How are you by the way?"
"I'm fine. What’s up with you? Recording a second album?"
"Yeah! I just ended the tour last night by performing at TRL. Now your dad wants me to concentrate on my next album. He wants all the songs to be of high quality," she said while picking up an acoustic guitar.

"He just wants your next album to be better that than your first. I mean 'Blithe & Rebellious' went platinum.... three times..." I said while taking out my notebook.


"I guess you're right. Well the reason I’m here is to discuss with you about the song that we made together, 'Nobody Till You'. We didn't have a chance to finish it the last time so I want to get it done so I could release..." but I cut her off before she could continue.


"You mean you're going to release 'Nobody Till You' as your first single of you're second album?" I asked seriously.
"Yeah.... I just want to work on the chorus a little bit. Then I thought of playing with the sounds. I thought of adding some crazy beats to mix with the hard core chords that I was thinking of," she said while strumming a D chord.

“Crazy beats?”

“Yes, touring in Europe exposed me to a lot of different sounds. I heard a lot of club tunes and electronic beats. I had an idea to mix them with my rock beats like a fusion. A whole different sound for my new album,” she said with a joyous grin.

I loved her idea; I thought it was a genius. But still the thought of having my song released was something surreal. Nobody till you was just something Julez and I created out of the blue, just for fun. I did not expect her to take the song seriously. So for the next 2 hours, Julez and I worked hard to revamped 'Nobody Till You'.

CHAPTER 27 “What’s that you’re holding mum?” I asked, referring to the old oblong casing she was holding. “It is said that there some very important documents inside. But the problem is, nobody knows how to open it,” she said while gathering all her things. “Too bad,” I said while taking a sip of my coffee. “Tell me about it. Look honey, I’m running late. Could you tell your dad that he has a dinner appointment with the Johansson’s at The Ivy Restaurant? My cruise leaves port at 5.00. I will call you later tonight,” she said “All right. Have fun in Paris mum,” I said with a smile. She came up to me, kissed my forehead and walked towards the door. “Love you, Sienna!” “Love you too, mum!” I said as she opened the door. I watched her walk to the Vogue Range Rover, wearing her classic Chanel tweed suit while totting her Hermes Birkin bag and that very odd oblong casing. That was the last time I saw my mum. The image of her started to blur as everything around me started ...

CHAPTER 14 After the whole family reunion with Aunt Marguerite, finding out the truth about the Masenfer family, discovering that there is a hidden jewelry vault behind a painting of my great-great-grandfather and firmly making my decision to go to the Eternal ball, meeting back with Jesse and Julez was pretty hard. I felt so guilty for not telling them all of this but at the same time I was happy because I was going to the ball with Jesse, he just did not know about it yet. "So how did it feel to reunite with your godmother and aunt on the same week? What's next? That Prince William is actually your cousin?" Julez said whiling typing furious into her laptop. "Yeah, I wish…" I said with a giggle. Just then Jesse came barging into the room, shirtless. "You know for a self-proclaimed gentleman, you have no manners when it comes to entering a room. For god's sake, next time, knock first and put some clothes on!" Julez said, annoyed for her inv...

CHAPTER 21 "When will you stop thinking about him?" he asked, almost in an angry tone. I just hated it when he taps into my mind during the most inappropriate time. "Why do you care?" I asked in an angry tone while standing up. "Because it is a waste of time!" he said, drawing closer to me. I turned my back on him and turned off the Ipod. "But that still does not make Jesse a depraved person," I shot back. "I am not saying he is entirely a bad person. It seems that he is acting bad toward you. He has not contacted you since the shooting. Doesn't he care about you?" he said a little calmly. "Why are you mad at Jesse? What did he do to you?" I said while crossing my arms and turning to face him. "I am not mad at Jesse. I am mad at you for not realizing that he is not worthy of you. I am also mad at myself for…." He said, leaving his sentence hanging. My back was against the wall as Darius came closer ...
