The Inheritance

Chapter 1: The Inheritance

"We live as we die, and die as we live." - Edward Counsel, MAXIMS

"I give up..."

Yuri who was sitting beside the window removed her stare from the window and focused on the friend who was sitting in front, "anything wrong Erin?"

The girl Yuri called Erin removed the glasses from her face and cleaned it before she addressed Yuri's question, "it's nothing... I just can't finish the essay we are supposed to pass."

"The essay that Miss Miho wanted us to write. But that's easy..."

"That's the problem... is Big brother around?"

Yuri shrugged and continued staring outside the window making Erin sigh, "You asked the wrong girl."

Erin looked up and was greeted by a girl wearing pigtails and large glasses, "oh hey Karen... do you happen to know if big brother... I mean where Drake is?"

The girl looked offended and Erin smiled weakly, "of course I do! He's at the rooftop; well he's always there during these hours anyway."

"Thank you! I'll be sure to ask you of his whereabouts next time."

Karen smiled and walked back to her seat fully satisfied with what she did, "she's scary..."

Erin chuckled and continued scribbling notes, "a bit but she's also nice... in a weird way."

Yuri smiled, "She's the president of Drake Law's fan club... define weird."

"Hey guys..."

Erin closed her notebook and greeted the newcomer, "hullo Ran... what brings the student council Secretary to our class?"

Yuri smirked, "probably a message from Drake... wife duties..."

Rainier blushed a bit and tried to hit Yuri who easily evaded while chuckling, "Drake wants to meet us at the rooftop. He said there was something he would be telling us."

"But don't we have class?"

"Oh was your class not informed? It was self-study period since an hour ago. The teachers decided to have a meeting before winter break."

Erin pointed at the class rep with her lips, "I think Jeremy is too busy to deal with stuff like informing us of the study break."

Rainier and Yuri followed Erin's line of sight and both sighed seeing the class rep surrounded by girls from different classes. Jeremy felt the stare and sent a wink which had the girls make the same disgusted face.

"Eww."

"Aw come on guys... Jeremy is pretty good looking. I heard he was offered to join Johnny's Entertainment but he declined. Plus he almost reached Yuri's scores overall."

"That's because I don't take competition seriously... but if you keep comparing me to that freak, I'll be serious next time. Anyway let's go. "

"To big brother?"

Yuri nodded and stood before taking her bags, Erin and Rainier (who already has his bags with him) followed suit...

"Erin! Are you going to meet with Drake?"

"Sir Rainier!!! Can you sign these please? I forgot to have your signature fixed and President wants them today."

Yuri leaned on the doorframe as Rainier discussed with the clumsy first year and Erin politely declining Karen's request to get a lock of Drake's hair for her collection.
