It was terrible. I had only been to Highland High for a week and the H3 was already bullying someone. This kid named Justin only accidentally bumped into Duke Hamilton, (the leader of the H3), and now the whole school started throwing trash at him where ever he went. What's worse is the teachers can't do anything about it and they just let them do whatever they want. I hate seeing how they treat people. They walked around the school like they own the place. They think they are better than everyone else. Duke is apparently in my Biology class, but since school started, he has not shown up to one class. The only reason why I was able to go to this school is because I am on a scholarship. I am one of those students who received straight A's,  so when I told my parents that I was accepted into Highland High, they were thrilled. I mean, I really did not want to go to this school, but I knew it would make them happy. So, here I am, trying to make the best of this place. I just want to get through these years of high school so I will never have to see these people again, especially the H3.

There are three members of the H3 (hence three). First Austin Herrington, super genius, and huge playboy. He is the redhead of the bunch with light brown eyes and pale skin. He has probably a different girlfriend every two weeks. Austin is the son of Herrington Inc. His father owns a huge company of factories that makes car parts. Then, there is Greyson Davenport, the quiet and most mysterious one of the group. He has sandy blonde hair with deep blue eyes and olive toned skin. His father is the owner of Davenport Technologies. They create newest and updated technologies such as cell phones and computers. Lastly, there is the leader of the H3, Duke Hamilton, who is mean and a guy you won't want to mess with. He has that typical fo-hawk hairdo and dark Puerto Rican skin with piercing green eyes.  His family owns Hamilton Industries, which is the biggest business company in the Country.  They pretty much are partner owners of  both Austin and Greyson's family companies.  Together they make the H3. And for the remainder of my high school year, I want to stay steer clear of them.

"Hey, Rosette!" I hear a voice from behind me. I turn to see my friend Casey walking down the hall towards me. Her short blonde hair bobbing up and down with each stride. I was just getting my Biology textbook out. 

"Hey girl. What's up?" I replied

"Did you hear? The H3 has a new victim! This time, a guy spilled some water on Duke's shoe." She said in an almost whisper. 

"Seriously? That dude is such a dick!" I snort.  

"He must really take his shoes seriously," she says like it wasn't an obvious thing.  I became friends with Casey on the first day of school. She was the only girl (that was rich), that was not snobby enough not to be my friend. Since the first day at lunch, we sat together every day. I think the reason why she took a liking to me is because her family come's from 'new money'. Basically, she used to be poor like me and one day, bam! Her family became rich. Her father invented the street walker hover board. Who knew people would actually want to buy that.  

"Well he needs to have a good whopping from someone," I said in disgust. Casey started to giggle. "Hey! I'm serious! One of these days he's going to get what's coming to him," I said.

"Hey you might be right, but I have to get to English class girl. I will see you at lunch!" she said.

"Okay see you later," I replied. Within five seconds she was running down the hall to get to class and I started to run to class as well.

At lunch, we had spaghetti with breadsticks for the specials. I realized that the school was rich so I was not sure why they did not have healthier food to eat. Most of the girls would just eat a salad for lunch or even just drink water. Some of them would bring their lunch from home pre-maid from their cooks. Wealthy kids and their fancy food. They probably have never had to cook a thing in their entire lives.              

I sat down about to eat my spaghetti when I heard Casey's voice.

"Rosette!" I see her walking with a tray with a big smile on her face when suddenly, I see her start to slip. Her spaghetti went flying in the air and landed on the person's chest who was walking towards her. I gasped in horror when I realized who it was the food landed on. Oh shit! It was none other than Duke Hamilton. The leader of the H3, with his two buddies Greyson and Austin, walking not that far behind him. No, this can't be happening

A quiet hush came over the whole room  as everyone witnessed what had just happened. I watched as Duke brushed off a few pieces of noodles off of his shirt. He looked down at Casey like she was a mosquito that needed to be squashed.

"Oh! I'm so terribly sorry Duke! Please forgive me! I didn't mean to-" she said but she was cut off.

"Sorry?! Sorry's not going to get me a new Dolce and Gabbana shirt...Do you have any idea how much this cost?!" He said with no sympathy in his eyes. I watched as my friend started to weep on the floor which was splattered with spaghetti all over it. I could not stand to watch anymore. I have to do something..no I need to do something! 

Within a few seconds, I was in front of Duke blocking him from getting to my friend. "Hey! She already said she was sorry. What more do you want?!" I screamed loudly in his face. His face turned from angry to shocked. No one had ever yelled at him that way at school before.

He narrowed his eyes at me."She ruined a very expensive shirt so she needs to be punished for it," he responded, his green eyes lit with hate and anger. 

"So?! You probably have a million other shirts just like it. You spoiled rich boys have no respect for others. You think you're better than everyone else. Well, let me tell you, you are the worst of the worst." I said. I couldn't believe what I had just said. I realized I had given myself a death sentence as the words flew out my mouth.

Duke was quiet for a few moments then he finally replied. "You better watch what you say girly," he said as he brushed past my shoulder. His two buddies following him from behind. I couldn't believe what I just did. It felt so invigorating. I felt as though I had an adrenalin rush. I knew that this feeling would not last for long though because I just gave the H3 a new target. Me.
