Elena was exhausted. After a long night of drunken love making and a tiring morning that consisted of her kicking out a pussy-whipped man so she could go to her first class, saying that she was tired was an extreme understatement.
But her exhaustion only heightened at the sight of the Queen, Jackie Fernandez, bouncing towards her locker. Elena sighed quietly while spreading lipgloss across her lips, smacking them together, before turning to the blonde before her.
“Forgive me, Jackie,” She started with a bored expression on her face. “But what the hell do you want?”
It wasn’t that Jackie was rude to her, in fact, Elena had never seen Jackie be rude to any soul in this Godforsaken building. But, like the faux fur on the freshmen’s tacky coats, Elena knew fake when she saw it. And Jackie was one of the fakest of them all.
Jackie scowled slightly at Elena’s greeting, her happy facade faltering for a split second before the same wide smile spread her mouth open, showing her impeccably white teeth.
“I have a proposition for you.” She simply stated, adjusting the Micheal Kors sunglasses perched on her blonde hair.
Skeptical, Elena leaned on the pale lockers as her eyebrows furrowed. “Your propositions never end well, my dear Jackie.” She rolled her eyes, turning to her closed locker to open it once more. “I’m not interested.”
Jackie remained in her spot, smiling in amusement as she watched the girl before her fumble with the combination on her lock, cursing at it. She leaned against the lockers gracefully, staring at the girl.
“What?” Elena ground out, clenching her jaw and raising a perfectly arched eyebrow.
“I would love for you to hear me out before you decline my offer, my dear Elena.”
She paused, before sighing in submission. “Caffeinated at 4:00. Don’t be late.” With her final parting words, she slammed her locker and spun on her heel, adjusting the cute little dress she had on before walking away.
Jackie smile proudly as she fixed her coat and made her way to class.
The college they went to was anything but humble, with their large white walls and impeccable gardens, The Erudite Academy was nothing to look down upon.
Students here radiated power, parading around with their Louis Vuitton and their Armani, showing off the amounts in their daddies bank accounts.
And Elena was one of them.
Daughter of a CEO and a Head Surgeon, money flowed in their house rapidly, leaving Elena with a very nice spending amount on the weekends.
Everyone who went to that academy was loud and cocky, but they liked it that way. They liked the fact that nobody was above others and that they were all equal.
Except for the King, of course.
Laurent Bianchi, great grandson of the founder of Erudite Academy, was the epitome of monarchy. He ruled over the academy with an iron fist, and got his sexual needs filled just as fast.
He was well known for his sexual escapades, in fact, they made him some sort of celebrity in the academy.
Did you hear? Laurent was with two girls last night.
I heard he had a foursome with another guy.
Really? I heard he fucked Selena Gomez.
The last one was obviously a lie, Selena would never stoop so low as to having sex with a horny power crazed Academy Boy.
His resident fuck buddy, Jackie Fernandez, was the Queen of Erudite. Though she did nothing, she gained a truckload of positive social status and was looked at like she was an angel on Earth, all because she kept Laurent strung long enough so that they considered each other boyfriend and girlfriend.
Anyone could do that, so Jackie wasn’t special.
Elena Arlington considered herself an empress, or a duchess. She wasn’t as high up as she would have wanted, but the obvious respect her title gained was definitely pleasing.
She was known as a seductress, not because she slept around, but because she could have anyone on their knees with a snap of her perfect acrylics and a bat of her long, thick eyelashes.
So, some troubled girls would come to her to ask for her to find out if there was infidelity in their relationships. Obviously, she wanted a payment, but other than that, she was happy to oblige.
Thus, earning her the title of the seductress, she was known around the school as someone not to cross, due to the favors that the students owed her.
She had a gut feeling that Jackie would ask her to seduce Laurent, and she wanted something big. She wanted something that would keep her stable for months.
She wanted to be Queen.
