The next morning I did wake up early, earlier then anyone else in this penthouse.
The clock beside my bed displayed the time confirming what I already knew.
5:47
I then walked over to the bathroom and got into the grey marble shower. Self reliance had become my greatest asset over the past few years.
Getting out after ten minutes, I dried off and walked into the closet which was filled with clothing. Choosing black jeans, and a half button V-neck I got dressed, along with taking the black blazer I had to wear or else my father would probably die of shame if I wore something casual.
To finish off my preparation I did my hair how I liked it, and walked out of the room towards the kitchen where my mom was cooking both me and Kate breakfast.
My sister went to a different school then me, though at some point she would probably be transferred to Thornbrook.
"Good morning Adri" my mom greets spotting me as I entered the room.
"Good morning mon mere".
I know that means my mother and doesn't really make sense but its a habit.
"Here's your plate" she says handing me a plate of French Toast both pieces were however quickly doused in maple syrup, before I all but dove into my food.
"Adrian you're going to give yourself diabetes" my mom says noticing the plate.
"I'll work it off later" I say dismissing the concern, I hated being babied, it was absolutely my least favourite thing quickly followed by stupid people.
When I finished I walked away towards the elevator where Andrews was waiting.
"Come on Katelyn" I call out to my sister while tying my shoes.
"My name is Kate" my sister proclaims from the dining room. "And your bites are the size of Asia".
"Don't bicker you two" our mom scolds from the kitchen.
"Sorry mom" Kate says, though I just gave an apologetic look, I'm more about action then words. Words can be said through gritted teeth, falsified and manipulated to give someone what they want, words were for leverage. Actions were straight forward and often not misconstrued.
Andrews then rounded the corner from his section of the Penthouse and picked out the key for the car he would take me and Kate to school in.
Stepping into the elevator we were carried down to the lobby where Andrews told us to wait for him to bring the car outfront.
"So what do you think Thornbrook will be like".
A fucking conundrum of ego, parties, and rich kids.
"I don't know Kate" I sigh stuffing my hands in my pockets.
After a moment Andrews pulls up outside in a white Lexus ES 300, which was obviously my mom's, she did mostly drive British cars but you'd be hard-pressed not to find a few Japanese one's mostly Lexus which she daily drove.
Walking out I slid into the back of the car along with Kate quickly following.
The vehicle then set off to take us away to school while Andrews drove in silence.
"You ready for your first day at Thornbrook Master Adrian?" Andrews asks.
"As much as I'll ever be" I mutter resting my head on my hand as I look out the window, where New York was eclipsed by grey clouds.
For those who didn't know about the school, Thornbrook was exclusive so much so only the elite of the elite knew about it.
Mostly because they were the only ones who could even attend it or, if you were a scholarship student apparently, I don't know how true that is.
