Chap 20

Melanie

The school week went by fast, and it was Friday already. Crown Heights Academy High School, I had come to realizes was a lot different from any school I had ever attended. Some teachers were strict while others were laid back, all in all that was the same. The curriculum they taught though was definitely different. Everything was set at college level even for the regular classes! AP was even higher, setting it at a bachelors degree if you were going through college. This was also a private school only few knew about or had the money to afford the tuition that was staggering.

Hidden by the tall towers of the city and the businesses around us. Leaving me to believe that this was a prep school for the elite. After realizing that the third day, I noticed that all the students in this school were from families of high ranking political people, movie stars, or just random famous in general. It was bizarre to see and meet the ones in my classes that lived in the spotlight. Most of the student body seemed to be nice while others were just like your regular kids in high school. Pulling pranks, bullying kids, and your poplar's. And it seemed I was among the popular group.

I had come to find as well, that Howl was like your average jock, but still far from average. Having girls flock to his side giving me death glares anytime I was around him. It was quite funny to see them try to flirt when he obviously wasn't affected by there fluttering long lashes of thick mascara and caked makeup or even enough to fake interested.

Nickolai was the school's sexy Russian bad boy. The accent making sense and one you didn't want to mess with in school. Still though, girls saw him as a challenge probable thinking they could be the one to change his bad boy ways. On Wednesday a kid in our science class was making spit balls and one hit his face. Next thing I know, the kid paled instantly as Nickolai got up, stalked over to him, and no joke shoved the spitball in his ear.

I scolded him as he sat down next to me that, that was a little to harsh when he replied simply; "It could have hit you, so I had to teach him a lesson so he wouldn't do it again." Thankful the teacher was writing on the board oblivious to what had happened. After that I took note never to mess with Nickolai and fair warning to the student body, for the poor kid had to go to the nurses office and have the ball of paper removed painfully later on that period.

The two girls from my P.E. class, Simone and Jasmine turned out to be really sweet girls. They have been friends since the beginning of high school and mostly stuck to themselves being the same age. We actually became fast friends the seconded day of class, helping me in the soccer tournament we had and made sure the ball didn't hit me in the face after the first time it happen when we began.

Simone had those kind hazel eyes, with deep red dyed hair, along with her bubbly personality, and tattoo's showing the bright colors against her flawless light cream skin. She was a little taller than me, evening out her perfectly toned curves matching her optimistic mind. Jasmine was the complete opposite, with her sharp spirited pierce tongue and hard like attitude filled with humor (even when she was in a disagreement about something) keeping us entertained even with our downfalls, literally. Happily Jasmine was the same height as I, but seemed taller with her wild frizzy black hair as streaks of fire red thick strands covered the top, making them pop against her golden bronze skin and mischievous chocolate eyes. They were one year younger then me but still in the same grade, adding them to my new group of friends.

Lawrence on the other hand was your untouchable drop dead gorgeous prince of the campus (Simone and Jasmine's Words) God. They didn't know I even lived with him for I had been voiding his presence like the plague. After the incidence on the roof my first day and wanted to keep it that way for as long as I could. Life had become awkward with him in the same house, where I would make sure I had Ace take me to school early with him before his morning runs leaving the moment Lawrence woke up (if he was even there) and have Nickolai take me home after our math class straight away.
