Chapter 3: P.R.A.T.E High School

A/N: Song for the Background ~ 'Greedy' by Tate McRae

I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm,I sluggishly got up from bed and rubbed my sleep-filled eyes and strolled to the bathroom for a nice relaxing shower.

After having a bath and brushing my teeth, I came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe.Today was my first day in a new school and I intend to look my best.

I wore pink V-neck sleeves that covered up to my palm and skinny ripped jeans paired with black boots. After brushing my light blonde hair,I applied some perfume and since I wasn't a fan of makeup I just applied my pink lip gloss.

I picked my bag and checked myself in the mirror "Not bad" I muttered.I checked the clock on my bed side table and it showed 7:32.Oh shit! I'm gonna be late.

I hurried down to the Living room for a breakfast of pancakes and smoothie. My Dad was seated at the dining table dressed in his uniform with a cup of coffee near his lips.

"Good morning, Dad" I greeted taking my seat and digging in my food.Yummy

"Good morning,Sweetie" he replied.

"I see you're all dressed up for work" I mused.

"I hope you'll like your new school? "He asked hopefully

"I did my research on the school and it's one of the most expensive schools in this City and it's for troubled rich kids"I said.

"Hmmm" was all he said and I rolled my eyes, I thought he would call ma a detective or a curious cat.

"You're one hell of a detective, Ash"he said with a smile

" Learned from my Dad"I said standing up and kissing his cheek and he stood up as well.

"I'll drop you off" He said heading for the door while I followed

"Bye, Dad" I waved at my Dad's leaving car and I turned around only to be stunned by the view in front of me. Wow!

There was a big sign carved at the entrance saying "WELOME TO P.R.A.T.E HIGH SHOOL"

P. R. A. T. E being the acronym for Prestigious Royal Academy for the Elite.Is this a school or a five star hotel because it was so luxurious and modern. The building looked like it was made of glass and platinum which made it spotless and shiny.Now I know why it's called a school for the rich.

( A/N;Song for the Background ~ Break the Rules by Charli XCX)

I could see expensive cars driving into the parking lot.The school bell rang and I was about to step in, however a Black Lamborghini parking caught my attention, the door swung open and black shiny boots stepped out followed by black jeans before the whole body came out.

My heartbeat quickened and my breath caught when I saw the person's face.Damn! He was so fucking handsome and hot. I've never seen someone as dashing as this. Of all the boys I have seen, this one before me can't be real.

I just stood there like a statue gawking at his exquisite features: His smooth sharp jawline, his straight nose, his flawless and silky neck length light brown hair, I couldn't tell the color of his eyes because he was wearing dark shades, but I still noticed his perfectly sculpted eyebrows.

I was too busy staring at him that I didn't notice the other individuals alighting from the car. A brunette stepped out of the passenger's seat while two other girls who looked identical stepped out of the back seat.

The brunette looked like she walked out of a magazine.She had hazel eyes that matched her hair and super long lashes.She was wearing a mini skirt with neon sleeves that were tucked into the skirt paired with thigh-high boots and black leather jacket, she more so fashionable than the girls back in Jacksonville, and here I was thinking my outfit was cool.

The other two which I assumed were twins were no exception,they had light brown hair and green eyes,wearing matching outfits of thigh length dresses with belly belt and combat boots ,they looked like the handsome guy who stepped out first, maybe he was their relative or something.

Everything about them screamed expensive and I knew they weren't in my league and were off-limits, they took slow and captivating steps towards the entrance of the school and I noticed how everyone seemed to want to have a glimpse of them while murmuring under their breaths.

Wow! They must be super popular for them to have the attention of such an expensive school.I watched them make their way into school until I couldn't see their backs.

And that was when I realized that I was late. Shit! I was too busy gawking like an idiot that I forgot today was my first day of school and I wanted to make a good first impression.

I hurried in through the entrance and I couldn't help but stop to admire the architecture, both inside and out looked heavenly and screamed money. The whole school was built on wealth and I couldn't help but be curious about how much my Dad was being payed to be able to afford this school.

I stopped close to the entrance of one of the halls with a signpost at the top entrance of the door written "DANCE HALL".I noticed people were gathered around four people doing a street dance performance to the music playing from the speakers in the hall, they were actually really good and when they finished their performance, everyone applauded.

We didn't have a Dance hall back in Jacksonville, only singing class and drama club.

I quickly searched my bag for my transfer form and when I finally found it, I searched for the class I'm supposed to go and hurried to the class.

There was silence as I entered, everyone stared at me including the teacher until she asked:

"Are you the transfer student from Jacksonville"

"Yes, I am, I'm Ashley Presley"I replied handing my transfer form to her.

" I'm Mrs. Georgia Strucker,your History teacher,you'll have to come early if you wanna pass my class" she took the form from me while I nodded.

'Make yourself at home at the back"she pointed to a chair at the back where a dark skinned girl sat alone.

I made my way to the back and sat close to her." Hi" I said with a friendly smile.

" Hi" she replied.

" I'm Joana Sween by the way" she added.

" I'm Ashley Presley"

" I already knew that"She said tucking some strands of her curly dark hair behind her ear and flashing her perfect set of white teeth.

I think most of the girls in this Black Rock are pretty, unlike those mean girls back in Jacksonville that applies too much make up and mascara.

After a few more classes the bell finally rang for lunch break and I couldn't be more relieved.

(A/N: Song for the Background ~ Natania-Mess me up)

"Where are you from?" Joana asked while leading me to the cafeteria. The aroma of the food was mouth-watering,I couldn't wait to have a taste,And yes I'm a foodie.

"J-Jacksonville" I said while ordering my food. Where carried out tray to table where a boy and two pretty girls sat.

"Jacksonville" She narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself as if trying to recal where she heard the name. She turned to face me. "I heard the people there still live in the 1980's" She said and I just shrugged, it was true anyways.

"Meet my brother Harrison, Harrison meet Ashley, she's from Jacksonville"

Harrison turned to face me and I noticed he was fair-skinned.How is he her brother,he's white.She probably noticed my confusion and added.

"I'm adopted"

"Oh...Hi,I'm Ashley,nice to meet all of you" I said taking my seat on one of the available chairs and so did Joana.

"Those are my friends;Miranda and Keira" She said gesturing to the two other girls.

"Hi" They said in unison.

"Hi'I responded. They all seemed nice.

We began eating in silence until I noticed Harrison's eyes on me, and I turned to face him.

"Aren't you gonna eat that?" He asked pointing at my chocolate milkshake.

"Um, no... back in Jacksonville, we have a rule not to touch our milkshakes because it's infested with dead ants"

Keira coughed before saying "For one, this isnt Jacksonville and there's nothing in the milkshake... See" She took a sip from hers to prove her point.

"Yeah" Miranda butted in"People in Jacksonville are probably living in the 80's

or something"She added.

Okay, why do everyone keep saying that. It's a town, what do they expect. 

" If you're not gonna drink that, I will... "Harrison started but was cut off by Joana.

"Shhhh ... It's the Jones" She whisper-yelled and our heads snapped to the cafeteria's entrance.It was THEM!
