Ashtrids POV
     Another fucking day.. At least tomorrow is Friday. I get out of bed and the dogs run outside. I do my morning routine and put on a black crop top hoodie, with a pair of high waisted black jeans and black heels. I let my hair fall down my back, and apply no make-up.
     I walk downstairs and grab my keys walking to my car, waving goodbye to Jared. I dont feel like eating today. Once I get to school, the guys plus one walk over to me. The new guy has a scowl on his face. "Hey guys." I say walking towards the school. "Hey Ash." Blake says. "So what you up to today?" Jake asks. "The normal, ignore bimbo, do my work, eat lunch, go home, eat, sleep." I list off. They laugh at me, well all except the new guy. I wonder who he is. I grab my books from my locker and walk to class. They walk in behind me and sit on their side of the class.
    Finally its lunch. I cant wait! Walking outside Ezra is sitting at the table with his head down. I walk over, making sure to let him know its me, and rub his back. "You ok?" I ask. "Yea.. I'm just sorry that I said that to you. I know it must have hurt because of.. What happened. And I am so sorry. I was having a really bad day and I took it out on you." He explains. "I forgive you, I forgave you the moment back at grandfathers." I smile at him knowingly. He smiles back and everything about him seems brighter. I grab food and we begin to eat. "Whos your new.. Friend?" Ezra asks. "I dont know hes with the boys." I respond. He nods his head and stares at the boy. "What?" The boy asks. "Whats your name?" Ezra asks, clearly very unsettled. "Axel." He grits. "Whats wrong dude?" I ask him. "I dont like him asking questions." He says again. Neither of them breaking eye contact. "Well hes my uncle so get used to it." I say back. He snaps his head towards me and glares. I finish eating and glare back. Finally he drops his glare and mummbles something. "I win." I sing. Everyone chuckles at me. Throwing my trash away, I give Ezra an hug and kiss goodbye and walking to class.
      Classes went by fast, I glared at a teacher because he kept picking me to answer questions, and making me stand each time I had to answer. Finally he stopped and let me be. But now I have to go to the mansion.
    "So today we have 1 meeting, they wouldnt give their names or the name of their gang. But its the same one that was supposed to be here yesterday. After that i scheduled a call between you and your Uncle George, then Isaac requested a call but j dont believe his is business. I think he jist wanted to make sure "those boys werent hurting you." She quotes. This makes me laugh. "Alright whens the meeting?" "In a hour." I nod my head and run upstairs. I get into my office and see papers. Of course. Everyone wants something signed. I mean its not like any of it will see a court, well maybe a make-shift court for the gangs. But still I have to sign it.
     All of a sudden Steph bursts through the door. "You are fixing to be late!" She hisses. My eyes widen and I quickly tear my top off and change it to a button up. Tucking in my shirt, I slipped on a suit jacket and walked down the hall. "Where is he? I have things to do?" A annoyed voice asks. "Im right here, I got carried away in paperwork, my appoligises." I say walling into the room. "No. I want the MAN in charge." The same man from a moment ago says, emphasising the word Man. I take a deep breath. "I am the one in charge how can i help you?" I ask. "I want to talk to the man in charge and then I want my weapons back." He snaps. "You will not snap at me! Now tell me who you are, what gang your from, and what your business here is!" I snap back. Anger dripping off my words. "Woman i will ripe you to pieces inside out!" He yells. "Father!" The boy beside him yells. I turn an see Axel. Taking a deep breath I try to calm down. "I am in charge here now answer my questions." I say, trying to calm down. Key word trying. "Get to the kitchen where you belong!" He snaps at me. "Father!" Axel shouts again. Then his father slaps him. Standing up, every gun in the room was pointed at him. "Take him to the livingroom." I order. My men grab his arms and drag him out kicking and screaming. Once he is out and the door closes i turn to Axel. I watch as he finishes sitting back in his chair. "Are you ok?" I ask. "Yes I'm fine." I nod sending him a small smile. "Now could you inform me why you came?" I ask him. "Oh yea! We were wanting a alliance, but I'm pretty sure thats out the window." He says sitting back with a sigh. I giggle and didnt notice his eyes snap open and his body snap straight. "With him as a leader? Not happening. But if you can think of someone different to take over, even if it is just for our deal even though I would rather it be just a completely different leader in whole... Then we could talk. Now I'm going to go check on him, because my men tend to lose their patience." I say. He sends me a nod and I leave. Once i get to the living room i see him standing over Steph and no one else in the room. "Guards!" I yell. Several run in from the kitchen. "Yes Princess?" One asks. "Why was he alone! And why is my best friend on the floor!" I yell. I walk over and to Steph. I help her up and hold her to my side. "Call the doctor!" I order. "Im fine." Steph insists. I roll my eyes and then I hear the sound of flesh on flesh. Turning around I see Axel holding his fathers arm which was about to connect with me. "I think its time we get a new leader." Axel growls. I lead Steph away and let them talk... More like shout it out.
      Steph has a busted lip and a nasty bruise on her cheek. God he makes my blood boil.
    Walking about downstairs I see Axel and his father with a busted up face. "You better not have gotten blood on my floor. They just cleaned it." I whined making him laugh. "Ill be taking over as the new leader of the Red roses." A small smile sits on my face. "Alright.. You got yourself a Alliance. It will be nice having local alliances, plus I think it will make my uncles relax more knowing I have allies in the school." I say. Saying our goodbye shortly after, he leaves and not long after I go home.
