My first day in Ivy Grove is the same as the first day at any school. There are raucous boys and nerdy ones, too. Pompous girls and skanky ones, as well. The exception: money. Every student here has enough money to feed a nation and believe me, they are all very much aware of their throne on the food chain. I mean, don't get me wrong, not all of the teens here are jerks and pretentious assholes, just most of them. A few, like my new friend Kaitey, petty but kind. Her big brother, however... asshole central! That boy's ego is almost as big as his daddy's bank account.

The thing is, life at Ivy Grove is okay. If your rich that is and you don't get on the bad side of resident mean girl: Tilly, and of course, the Eternal Four. 

And the richest of them all? That's the Eternals, I know, even the fucking name is pompous. This consists of four students that are usually seniors and almost always looking like they just jumped out of an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. Today, on the first day of the term, there is just three. And they are boys. this , I am told, makes Ivy Grove history never has there been only three Eternals and especially not all boys.  

Jasper (Jay) Berkley is seen as the king, really the Eternals are on an even playing field, but in truth? Bullshit. Jay, much to the annoyance of the other two Eternals, is clearly the leader. He's built like a brick shit house and takes 'tall, dark and handsome' to a new extreme. Even as he plays ball. And damn that boy can play...

Then there are the Ashton twins, generally, they are just both called Ash. which isn't all that surprising considering they look exactly the same. Exactly the goddamn same. Their names, as pretentious as they may be, are Oden and Zeus. Now I am not a Norse or Greek mythological expert, but even I know that they are the leaders of the other gods in their mythology, even if Oden's name is spelled slightly different. In all fairness though, Mr. and Mrs. Ashton have probably had their books read by more people than Gideon's Bible service.

Those three boys are the highest on the Ivy Grove totem pole. And I've already pissed them off...
