"I think we should find someone else to fill in her shoes, Jack." Gene pushed her glasses up. She was lightly taping her newly buffed but plain, nails on her particle board desk.

She held her face, pondering what she should do, what she COULD do. On one hand, her best friend was genuinely good at her position, but on the other, unfortunately, their leader was in love with Maisie. That did not bode well for Genevieve.

She had a large crush on Jack, but she wasn't sure she could pursue it, and she also knew Maisie wasn't interested in him so she wanted him to slowly lose his fascination of her.

"Do you have any other borderline genius friends?" She wouldn't call Maisie a genius, Gene thought. Jack pushed up his messy blonde hair out of his Nordic eyes, he hadn't been grooming himself as well especially on days where he wasn't seen by the public, or Maisie.

He was also wearing very plain clothing, a white shirt that accented his very untoned muscles and a pair of deep blue jeans. He wasn't as interested in pure fitness as some were, just furthering his goals.

"I have another friend, her name is Leslie, she has been looking for an internship for awhile." Gene hadn't talked to Leslie for a minute, but She knew because of social media Leslie was in her senior year in college and looking for an internship of some kind as an office administrator.

"She any good?" Jack narrowed his eyes, leaned towards Gene.

"I wouldn't recommend her if I didn't think she was. She is studying for a degree in office administration with an emphasis on buisness. I think she may even surpass Maisie on such tasks." Gene gave him a thumbs up. "Don't go falling for her too." Gene smiled with her eyes mostly closed, hoping he would just understand that it was a joke.

"Oof, that stings. But probably not, I still have my eyes on Maisie." The man was kind of a Lady Killer, always going for the younger girls, and he was older, thirty himself; which made him just young enough to be attractive without looking too old but made him seem like a fox.

Leslie Von Rosenberg was both Maisie and Gene's best friend. One of the original three. Gene was a transfer student on a scholarship to their all girls private school which serviced kindergarten thru 12th grade.

"You're not that pretty." A blue eyed platinum blonde girl shoved Genevieve on the ground. She had just started a new elementary school on the wrong foot.

The week previously she was in public school with her friends and her favorite teacher, Mrs. Smith. Now she was transferred to a private all girls academy where she was to have to be with these people a long time.

She was transferred in her fifth year, into the sixth grade class.

She had blown every one out of the water in public school, getting straight A's in all her subjects and having a high aptitude to learn. She loved to read and math was her favorite alternative pass time. Her friends did not do so well but she liked other people for their personalities not their academic performance.

She was sad to say the least, and was almost forced to go to this new school, but under the pretense that she was going to lift her family up out of poverty in a world where that didn't happen a lot.

Her old class had a fair well party for her and her friend Cynthia was crying buckets of tears. Her normally cute Brown doe eyes were blotchy and her freckles wrinkled.

"D-d-don't go, I need my friend here!" She was the most effected by her friend going, she didn't have many friends and it was difficult for her.

Gene was sad to leave them too, but her parents told her it's for the best.

"Welcome Gene to Maplewood All Girls Academy! We're excited to have you here!" Her new sixth grade teacher seemed actually excited to have her there.
"Would you like to introduce yourself and your hobbies?"
