Hearths in Chaos

Mary

Im standing infront of the most prestigious gates this country has to offer, Craig high, the most powerful school in the world, not like Harvard or Yale, geniuses don't go here, elites do.

Kids of Government officials, Ceo's, lawyers, doctors... basically all the rich folk,

well... I mean im not rich, heck my dads a baker, a famous one tho, he told me not to worry about how he got the money for the tuition or how he enrolled me here.

I'm clearly skeptical about all this, doesn't make much sense, but oh well, who really cares. I let my natural blu hair fall in locks on my shoulders and my back, we don't question the hair color in this book. I. Am. Exhausted, summer break is over and school started, I'm starting my sophomore year in Craig high, who even named this school? Sounds like a drug house, shit maybe it is, that explains the dead look on the students as they enter the school, or just back to school effect.

"Omg girl, you just gonna stand there the whole time or what?" I instantly snap out of my day dream, I've been doing that a lot, getting lost in my head, but when I get back to reality a very pissed off Mina stands in front of me, "you look like someone just made you trip on purpose" I say dryly, "is it that obvious? Ugh that stupid cousin of yours, I just want to hit him in the guts and kiss his luscious lips, ohhh when will he accept to marry me..." Mina dramatically claps her hands and puts it on the side of her cheek while looking at the sky with hearths dancing in her eyes, well maybe not dramatically because she is dead serious, and I swear I just saw Cupid flying around her head, well anyways, the boy she keeps obsessing over is my cousin, William, or Liam as he likes to call himself, no idea why. He's the classic clown off the class, not because he wants to but because he is really kinda stupid, and my friend who is hopelessly in love with him is one of the popular girls, her curly green hair giving her a crazy look just like her fashion senses, well not today because we're wearing the standard school uniform, white button up shirt underneath a dark blu blazer with a matching flowy skirt that reaches the top of our knees, tho most girls like to go a bit more up, including me beacause I don't want to stick out from my friends, who all are popular, Ofcourse they are, I don't even know how I got in their circle, probably because of mina.

"Where's Mia-" I immediately put my hands on my mouth, shit.

I forgot that something happend between Mina and Mia, off topic but what's with the similar names, oh right so something happend between them and it's bad, I'm not sure what but now no one talks to Mia anymore, and it hurts me to see her all alone, she's the sweetest and I'm sure she had a reason for what she did, but Mina doesn't believe so, since she's so popular in this school the rest of the girls started bullying her because by their logic, If one of their friends hated someone, they all hate them, just an excuse to bully a poor soul, all I could do was watch, not because I was helpless but because Mia pushed me off, told me she deserved it and didn't want me to interfere, or she would have done something I wouldn't like, so i let it go. "I'm sorry..., I just..." I said slowly and almost quietly, Mina gets really emotional in bad ways when I mention her, this time she just rolled her eyes away from me and gestured to enter the gates, oh right classes, wait it's 7.55 am. already, class starts at 8, "shit, shit, shit..." I mumble while hurrying to my bio class, wow just the best class to have on the first day, I hate being late, so I always go 5 min earlier but today I just got to distracted, as I'm basically rushing down the hall half packed with people I bump into something hard, since when did they put a wall in the middle of the hall? "Ouch, oh, sorry about tha-" the words get caught up in my throat when my eyes clash with dark green ones, they're so dark you won't even think he has forest green eyes, the only ones I think have no light in them, I gulp, as much as I want to act strong infront of him, to not let him walk over me, it's still to exhausting to run  into him, he's a Sadist who enjoys inflicting pain on others, weirdo.

His eyes flick with something, amusement I almost think, he takes a very generous look at my body, lingering on my chest a little to long for my liking, as I'm about to push off of him and kick him in the balls I notice what he really was looking at, his hands on my hips, he was keeping me steady, ugh, this is the worst.

"Well, well, well, isn't it so romantic that you can't wait to see me and basically run in my arms, princess?" He says with a sarcastic tone, the nickname originated when I was 5 and told him i wanted to be a princess when i grow up, biggest mistake, "well, well, well if it isn't the arrogant and prideful king? Unfortunately for you, this princess prefers honorary knights who are gentleman's and know how to treat a lady" i return the same energy, but he didn't appreciate it, so much that he tightened his grip on my hips, I anxiously looked around worrying that someone might see us and start ridiculous rumors, but no one dares to lift their heads when Adrian is in the room, wow, he's a kid just like them, what even makes him so special? He keeps glaring at me and I don't hold back either, a hot second passes and I think he'll snap me in half, but before he can even open his mouth a hand rests on his shoulder "yo bro, not to ruin the moment, but you're holding up the hallway, move the fuck up" the one who even dared to say such words to Adrian was none other than Alexander, his best friend, and I couldn't be more than happy to see him, atleast he'll keep him far away from me. Adrian rolls his eyes and shakes Alexander's hand off his shoulder, not gently might I had. "Fuck off" is the only thing he says to him before returning his gaze to me, he releases me but not before whispering in my ears "see you around, princess..." I cringe, he thinks he's some highly being that can have any girl he wants, well he is kinda... no, no, no, bad Mary, bad, we are not going there, noPe.

Ofcourse I was late to my first class in the morning because of the arrogant bastard.

lunch finally decides it's his time to shine and the cafeteria packs with all of the students, Craig high offers the best of the best, heck even the food here rivals Michelin star restaurants, but it keeps a normal highschool cafeteria, with lines and depressing blu tables. I take my tray and sit with my circle, the popular circle, I don't really fit in, not because of the way I dress or the way I do my makeup, that I copy easily to not stick out, it's the bullying, they're like the mean girls in this school, but from another perspective the best allies to have in this school, they're rich, coming from powerful families, no one dares to cross them unless they have a death wish that is.

Like I said before, my dads a baker, but he's the most famous baker in this country, many people travel miles just to taste his food, but he keeps a limit to how many people can sit in his modest restaurant, I guess that makes it really exclusive and all, so by their logic I'm exclusive, to be honest, that's the dumbest thing i ever had the misfortune to hear, but whatever, I'm too hungry to complain about my friend group, I sit next to Mina and as I'm about to dig in the delicious looking pasta, the cafeteria drops dead, not even mosquitos dare to fly, when i turn my eyes to what everyone was looking at, three boys enter the cafeteria, Liam, Alex and... Adrian, why is this starting to look like a two thousands movie with the popular jocks and shit?

it doesn't take long for his bored eyes to lock with mine, and suddenly he smirks, like he just found his toy of the day, in long and confident strides he walks to my table, takes my apple juice and sips it like he owns it, my mouth forms an "O" while I just look at him sipping MY drink, oh no he doesn't, no one messes with my food when I'm hungry, I skipped breakfast for gods sake, I grab my fork and plan to stab him with it, just as I stand to hit him he grabs my wrist and speaks in a low voice so only I can hear him, "stabbing isn't really recommended, actually, erase that idea from your head before you regret it, instead I recommend something better" he trails off to look at my face before continuing "sitting with me is what is highly recommendable" what in gods blu earth is he talking about?, did he finally lose his mind? Actually, don't answer that i don't want to know anymore, he gets what he wants, and no doubt he'll force me to give him what he wants.

Let me know if its intresting or i should change something, always space for improvement
