(Ebony POV)
It's sixth period and Calix and his hell spawn of a girlfriend Bianca won't stop making out. Seriously like WTF this is work shop Not-make-out-on-a-wood-bench class.
"Idiots. " I mumble. Silently I hoped she would cut herself on the hand saw near by. I chuckled at my thought going back to wood burning and carving into my bench. Noticing me Calix pulled away and looked at me in disgust.
"What are you staring at freak." Calix said Bianca still holding onto his Ralph Lauren shirt for dear life sucking his neck. I gag almost puking.
"Oh be quite and Bianca get off of Calix you look like a vampire sucking his neck. Jeez people before you know it there will be a herpes virus spreading through this school." Mr. Ito said yelling pushing Bianca off of Calix. Calix scowls at Mr. Ito while Bianca goes flirting with another living creature. I laugh, while everyone else looks away too afraid of the raft of the King and Queen of the school.
"Whatever." He mumbles. I laugh again returning back to my bench. This is one of the many reasons I love workshop, one because of Mr. Ito we are close friends our 57 year old wood shop teacher and I, and two he's the only other person other than me and Ms. Aristov our principle who give him what he deserves back.
"Whatever Plain Jane." He mumbles. I glare at him looking back up from my bench.
Only selected staff and our principle Miss. Aristov are the only people who know who I am. So it sometimes it's weird people calling me Jane Smith instead of Ebony RoseWood.
As I finish up my waterlily cravings on my bench the bell rings off through the cement room. I rush to the storage rooms place my bench away in what I believe is the safest spot before hugging Mr. Ito.
"Have fun on your weekend." Mr. Ito said with a wrinkled smile.
"Have fun and take care of Lilian for me." I say returning a smile. He laughed at the mention of his Akita. (Type of Japanese dog)
--later---
After leaving the school I see couples not so subtly making out. Walking over to Fred's usual parking space at the edge of the park. Climbing into the black Mercedes Fred start's asking his usual questions.
"How was your Friday Madame?" He asked looking at me through the car mirror. Ever since I was younger Fred acted like a grandfather to me. Always being there when I needed him.
"Good. How was your's Freddie?" I ask slightly amused.
After to talking to Freddie all the way home. I walk up to my room and finish my homework since it's easy as pie. An hour later I find myself in a burrito blanket watching Netflix.
"Miss. RoseWood?" Maddie my favorite maid asks nocking on my door.
"Yes? You can come in Maddie." I reply as she enters the cream room.
Speaking up Maddie says.
"Your parents want you for dinner they need to tell you something later. But the reason why I'm here is to help you pick out an outfit Madame." She said slightly bowing your head heading into my closet.

A shower and picking out an outfit later----------
I look at the mirror straightening out my red silk dress and black pumps. Fixing my curled black hair. Thanking Maddie I go and sit at the long grand dinning room table my parents arriving shortly after me.
We ate our delicious meals silently the only real noise were our forks and knives cutting the food.
"You wanted to tell me something?" I ask trying to hide my anxiousness finally breaking the awkward silence. My father cleared his throat while my mother directed her attention towards her water silently finishing it looking back at my father.
"Well your mother wanted to tell you something." He said looking back at her green eyes. My mother instantly slapped him on his shoulder setting her glass down.
"Alexander." She hissed.
"Ow. Okay, okay, okay, I get it Maria." He said looking back at her playfully.
"We wanted to tell you something." He said looking back at her searching her eyes for approval. She nodded silently telling him to go on. I laughed at my parents playful manner.
"Yes?" I said smiling happy at this state.
"We made a business deal with The Kings Company." He said smoothly looking sort of nervous.
"That's great for business." I smile at my father's actions raising my glass of water silently drinking.
"I wasn't done. I made a deal and it includes you." He said staring at my mother for help. I choked.
"What?!" I looked around frantically at my parents faces searching for an answer but I got nothing in return.
"We made a proposal (A/N mind the pun*) that would forever join our businesses. Marriage. All you would just have to marry their heir. You'll be meeting them tomorrow." He said his voice almost cracking. Felt like I was going to die but then I came up with a plan. I could just torture him to death so that he would make us get a divorce plus I would have fun in the process. Done. My sad frown immediately turned into an evil smile.
"Sure daddy." I say excusing myself from the table kissing my parents goodbye. Leaving them both dumbfound.
"Revenge is sweet my friends." I say smiling walking back up to my room.
