Playing Your Cards

Chapter 1

Before the story begins. I must warn you all, this story will not be updated until I get one comment saying if you liked it or not. I don't want to go on with a stupid story if none of you like it. Thanks for reading it my little ducks. Any mistakes you may gladly point out.

Melody Heart, Clover Club, Diamond Oliver, and Jayden Spade walked into Dolores Prep.... and brought everyone's eyes to them. No one wanted to look away, after all, they were beautiful. Melody with her waist length, straight, bright red , at 5'9, with light tan skin and no tan lines she was wearing a pink camisole and dark purple jeans, most people wouldn't be able to pull off, but somehow, she did it.

Clover, a blonde, 6 foot, white girl with caramel skin, like when you put just enough creamer in your coffee. Wearing her white jacket over a white shirt, her four leaf clover necklace was hanging from her neck, and with her nice black jeans clinging to her, she was all the boys would look at. She strolled through the halls with confidence with her friends.

Diamond was a Latino, dark toned in nature. His black hair and his oddly colored eyes that looked black, but were just a natural dark brown, went with his shirt, a black, gray, and white plaid one. His jeans hung around his ass tightly. At 6'3, he was quite a sight, shooting winks as they walked into the office.

Lastly, there was Jayden. Earning multiple sighs from girls as he walked by, much to the annoyance of their boyfriends. His brown hair and emerald green eyes reflecting the light perfectly, his 6'7, broad shouldered build taking up quite some space. He and Melody were in the middle like they were important and needed to be protected. Diamond on the right edge and Clover at the other end, they leaned against the desk in the office. Putting his and the others forged papers down on the counter, Jayden cleared his throat. "Oh hello, may I help you with something?" The secretary asked without looking up.

"Yes ma'am, we're the transfer students," Jayden replied tapping his fingers against the desk.

"Oh..... OH!" The secretary said slowly, then more quickly, jumping up and showing comprehension on her face. "I'm Ms. Hertz, come to me if you need anything darlings." Ms. Hertz told them as she handed them their schedules. "Its a small school, you won't get lost, but I can have the Student Body President show you around....." She trailed off in a questioning way.

"No thanks Ms. Hertz," Melody politely declined, much to the dissatisfaction showing on the little old lady's face, as if she wanted to protest. The late bell rang and Ms. Hertz jumped at it like she had never heard it before0 and it genuinely scared her.

"Oh, don't worry kids, I'll give you a pass," the secretary exclaimed holding a slip of paper. They all had the same classes...... fortunately.

"Thank you again Ms. Hertz," the four odd teenagers said in unison leaving the office in search of their first period class. As soon as they exited and closed the door, three of them started muttering under their breath, "Bitch," "Human," and "Idiot," may have been heard if someone was there.

"Quiet!" Jayden said sighing. "Act normal, all of you. We're only here to find out one thing....."

"To find out who got in the palace and killed J," the four mysterious transfer students ended Jayden's sentence in unison, standing in the shadows of the hallway where no one was, or even could be a witness.

Well, that would be true if it wasn't for the tiny child that happened to be wandering the halls of the huge high school just as they were having that particular conversation. It just wasn't their groups week.
