The Future as a Rivers (Fifth Book)

Chapter One

Isabella Rivers^^

Isabella

"Isabella? Isabella!" Someone bellowed my head snapped up and I looked into the angry eyes of my teacher.

"I was meditating." I assured.

"Your way of meditation is an odd one Ms. Rivers. Do try to meditate on your own time." He said walking away. I saluted him and rolled my eyes.

Once the bell rang I was up out of my seat and out into the crowded hallway. I walked to my locker and began grabbing my lunch out when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned and Louis looked at me and then glanced away.

"How much you got, Louis?" I asked.

"Forty?" He offered.

"Twenty a pop here is two." I said handing him an envelope. Inside were two pills of ecstasy. In return he glanced around and placed two bills into my leather jacket pocket.

"Thanks Bell." He nodded before walking away. I grabbed my lunch and shut my locker and walked outside.

I stood behind the school with my headphones in and a cigarette between my lips. It was a cool autumn day and I didn't sleep well last night.

"Hey Bell." Carson called as he walked with Damian and Trevor.

"Boys, how was class?" I asked stuffing my headphones into my pocket.

"Same old same old, want a hit?" Damian shrugged while pulling out a joint.

"Sure, fuck I'm exhausted." I groaned rubbing my tired eyes.

"Little Mafia princess is tired?" Trevor cooed.

"I am. I had some pretty gnarly night terrors last night. My uncle Kane had a hard time waking me up." I murmured. Damian handed me the joint and I took a long inhale and held it in for a few seconds.

"You should get that checked out. Night terrors are so...twenty first century ." Carson chuckled.

The year is twenty-one eighteen (2118) and the world was still delayed in technology. Instead of the governments ruling everything, mafias ran the show here. In fact my Mafia was the ruler around here. Well, I wasn't a Mafia ruler yet but I would be soon.

The Rivers Mafia has been around for a long time, from the original Mafia leader Andrew Rivers, to Ace Rivers and to Luke Rivers. Since then we have expanded but not by a lot but we were the most talented and deadliest Mafia. Also known for having the most attractive men on the planet.

My parents Grace and Troy Rivers were the rulers of the Mafia until we got into a car accident. I suffered a concussion, multiple lacerations, a broken arm, broken leg and ankle and some broken ribs but my parents both died on impact. I was an only child who was trained since day one on how to run things.

Drugs were given to me at the bar and I would sell it at school to bring in some cash. Carson, Trevor and Damian didn't work for me but they were my best friends. Carson was a nut case who would jump off of buildings for fun, Trevor was quiet and actually from a posh rich family. When it was time to leave he actually changed into his preppy clothes and Damian was a man whore. Hell they were all man whores but Damian had a new girl on his arm every three days. Some girls kept coming back to him and in three days to a week he would dump them.

"I heard Leo Rocha was throwing a party this Friday. You hitting that up? That would be a good spot." Carson said nudging my arm.

"Oh you know I will. I make good money on those stupid parties because everyone wants to get a buzz and little girls who haven't done drugs before don't know the proper prices. I can run up my prices for them and make good money." I said.

"You really have this all figured out. This is why you are going to rule the world." Trevor laughed.

"Exactly. You have to know how to play the game and you have to know the people. Observe and watch, boys. I people watch all the time so I always know what they are doing." I said looking around.

"Yea and you look like a freak while doing it, stop that." Damian said laughing along with the boys.
