The Billionaire Darkness

Chapter Ninety One

At lunch that day I quickly left my class early to get out into the halls and have my binder put into my locker before heading to the roof. I wanted away from people and today was just one of those days I was more then willing to do just that.

Crossing the rough gritty roof I leaned on the concrete and looked over Brooklyn before moving to the far side of the roof and in the distance I tried to catch a glimpse of Thornbrook, just being able to make out the top of the four story school. My mind began to wonder what it must be like walking through the halls, the decadence and money that would have been in mind to suit those that attended the exclusive school.

I also wondered how many people like Bianca there would be, those that shove their status down others throats just to sleep better at night.

However I was determined not to let anyone put me down when I got to Thornbrook. Because if you seem like an easy target someone will always take the chance to exploit it.

Probably what happened when Demetri looked at you.

My subconscious thought didn't bother me, it was likely true, and despite that I wasn't at all bothered by it. I didn't want to be a game anymore to viewed as some little girl who is naïve to the world.

I also had a feeling Thornbrook would change me, and what my life may look like. I just hoped it was for the better.

All that was left was accepting the position by August though an opportunity like this was one I didn't really want to miss. There was just a list of good and bad.

Losing my friends. Bad.

New friends. Good.

Getting away from Demetri. Good.

A straight shot to an Ivy League. Good.

Surrounded by rich kids who likely are a bunch of assholes. Bad.

A chance at refreshing my life. Good.

Scholarship meaning not having to pay the ridiculous tuition. Good.

Five good's, and only two bad's. That wasn't what I had expected, I thought it would be closer, but the positives for once in the past year outweighed the negative. This gave me hope for what may happen if I said yes to the scholarship. Though I have a feeling my mom may pressure me to do it so that I could go to one of the best universities in the country.

All of a sudden the door opened and both my friends walked out and quickly spotted me before coming over.

"Olivia of course you're out here" Paris says, as I watch both of my friends walk over to me.

"Thinking about what going to Thornbrook will be like" I say honestly before looking back off at the school, I then spotted something odd which threw me off slightly. A blue GTR parked along the curb and some man got out dressed sharply before heading into the school, though I never got to see his face.

"Probably full of all the rich kids that irritate so many people, though I really hope some of them are nice to you or I may have to come and kill someone for you" she adds.

"You're not killing anyone, psychopath" Angela and I say in unison.

"Wow really killing the vibe" Paris says and Angela gives her a blank look which made me laugh lightly.

"How am I going to put up with you when Olivia is gone?" Angela asks clearly teasing Paris for being our crazy friend but also the favourite friend.

"Oh I'm sure I'll see you all again, maybe I'll hire Angela to be my accountant so I don't have to deal with money" I muse, though money couldn't be the littlest bit important to me. I just wanted to help people, that was it.

"Ha, I'd do that, give me an excuse to see you" Angela says.

"Bitch you better bring me" Paris says and I just laugh before wrapping my arms over their shoulders.

"Of course you can both can come see me you just can't come to my job" I say, and they nod though I doubted that they truly would do that. Angela might, Paris was just chaotic enough to not listen.

"Demetri hates that I got driven by you this morning, it's like he's trying to isolate me from both of you" I mutter.

"He likely is Olivia, he's not good for you and he clearly mistreats you. So maybe Thornbrook will be an escape for you, from him. And maybe a reset" Angela says, and I could tell she cared.

"I know, I have been trying to find a way to get away from him for months, my mom knows about the things he's done and now I just wait for the right time to fully make sure he can't come near me" I explain, dropping my arms to my sides and staring over Brooklyn.

"We'll keep it to ourselves since you're trusting us with the information of knowing you're going to Thornbrook" Paris reassures.

"I know" I say, "maybe I'll even get to see you both at times when I leave school".

"That would be nice, catch up on what was going on in the upper echelons of New York high society" Angela jokingly says and I laughed.

"Yes, sounds so interesting" I muse sarcastically.

"You'll probably outshine all of them" Paris says leaning next to me.

"Maybe, I won't promise anything" I say and she just nods smiling softly.

The most I stood here with them, the more excited I felt to have something to look forward to for next year.

Thornbrook was likely to give me a lot of new opportunities and I would make the best of the coming two years until I had to go to university.

The rest of the day we spent together much to the visual dislike of Demetri but as long as I was with my friends he wouldn't try anything.

Strength in numbers.

I also had been going to the self defense classes but I hadn't learnt how to defend against people larger then myself.

There was also fun in it. I liked the feeling of security I got when I had learned something new there and that I felt ready to use it.

Hopefully I wouldn't have to but by Summer I would likely be able to do that if Demetri ever did find me.

When I walked out of the front of the school I found that my mom had come to drive me home.

"Hi mom" I say walking over to her and put my stuff in the back seat.

"Hey Olivia, I thought I'd drive you home today" she says and I smile reaching for the door handle.

"Thanks mom" I smile slipping into the car at the same time she did while also glancing back at Bianca and the rest of her clique watching me as my mom drove off.

"I wanted to also congratulate you with ice cream for getting into Thornbrook should you accept" she says changing lanes to turn.

"I weighed it in my head, I want to go to Thornbrook" I say and I see her smile.

"I kinda thought you'd say yes, though even if you didn't its still something to celebrate" my mom says as we headed off towards one of the ice cream parlours in New York.

Getting to the far road along the edge of Brooklyn I could see Thornbrook and I remembered when I had first heard the name. Soon it would be my school and not just a sight I was trapped from.
