You woke up, less than excited about going to school that day. Reluctantly, after your mom had called you out of bed a couple hundred times, you finally managed to haul yourself out of your sheets.

You lived in the less-than-rich side of town, contrary to your classmates, as all of them were the sons and daughters of famous entrepreneurs, Wall Streeters, or just filthy rich. Your mom, however, insisted on you going to private school, as she wanted to ensure a bright future for you and your future family.

Unfortunately, you hated all of your classmates. You knew hating them simply because they were rich was not a good reason, so you hated them because they had their whole lives planned out for them. High social status, a trust fund, tons of people to fall back on, never having to work a day in their lives, yep, they had just about everything. And although you were jealous, you'd never admit it.

Your mom was a workaholic. She rarely spent time with you, and the only reason she'd been with you now to wake you up was because she had a lengthy meeting planned in the afternoon that she needed to prepare for. Your dad had left a long time ago, and you had no siblings.

You finally finished putting on your uniform and walked into the kitchen, smelling coffee.

"Good morning, Y/N," your mom said. She had her work clothes on and ready, and was furiously typing away on her computer.

"Good... morning," you replied quietly. "I've got to get going soon, so bye. Good luck at your meeting." You kissed her cheek quickly.

"Thanks hon," she said. "Have a good day."

You slung your F/C bag over your shoulder and walked out of the lobby in your apartment. You hailed a cab and watched the as the chilly wind blew over the streets of Manhattan, and the bustling people, hurriedly getting to work. You rested your head against the window and sighed a little.

Finally, the cab pulled up at your school. It was a joint school between your girl's-only school, Phoenix Drop School for Girls, and the boys' school, O'khasis Preparatory for Boys. You payed the cab driver, stepped out, and smoothed the pleats of your skirt, taking your daily walk of faith into the school.

"Hey, Y/N!" You heard a voice behind you as you were about to walk into the school.

You turned around to see the last person you wanted to see, Travis Valcrum. O'khasis Preparatory's golden boy, and the kind of guy that made girls' hearts melt with a single princely glance.

You stopped without turning around. "If this is who I think it is, you better leave before I tell the headmistress."

"Y/N! You know who it is!" Travis said. "Please don't tell the headmistress! I'm already on thin ice as it is."

You turned around to glare at him with your electric E/C eyes. "What do you want?"

"To apologize."

You rolled your eyes and ran your hands through your H/L H/C hair. "Look. I stood up for you when they pushed you around. Then you became one of them, and worse, you pushed me around too. I don't think an apology is gonna cut it. You're a jerk."

Flashback

Back when you were a sophomore, everyone was talking about the new guy, who'd transferred into O'khasis Prep in the same grade as you. Especially the popular rich girls at Phoenix Drop.
