Marseille Reneau would stop at nothing to make sure he gets revenge for his father's death but what would happen when it turns out that his mother is involved in his father's death? The one person he could've sworn loved both him and his father. The...
I do not return to the Ibn Khoury mansion since I already got a set of clothes. It's as if my guardian angel knew that this was going to happen.
"Hey I'm talking to you" Akilah snaps her fingers in my face bringing me back to reality.
"Huh?" She was talking to me?
"Really? what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing okay, I'm fine" I say and walk past her to look at myself in the mirror for the last time before we leave the house. I don't want to betray myself. We have breakfast at a cafe not really far from Akilah's house and leave for school in time so we are not late.

The bell rings and Mr. Morris, our math teacher walks in. I don't really have a lot of classes with Akilah, I think we share just sports and environmental health classes since she's a Chem major and I'm an English major.
Wait! Xana and Rashid are both Math majors but then it seems that we share all our classes together. How's that even possible? I don't remember them in any of my classes last year. Speaking of Xana, I'm really shocked about last night's revelation. But why would he join the fighting circuit?
Of course it's not for the money since his grandfather is one of the leading plutocrats in Paris if not the entire France. He doesn't seem to be avarice so once again it's clearly not for the money. Then what is it? I look around and realise that they're both not in class. Of course he'll be absent but not Rashid.
But they roll together. My subconscious reminds me.
I need to speak to him about what I learned yesterday. Does Rashid know? I am pretty sure he does, those two are like a married couple so if Rashid doesn't know then it means that I am dead meat for finding out. It's not like I wanted to find out.
"Yourri" someone snaps their fingers in my face and I get startled thinking it's Xana. It's Marcus, thankfully!
"Oh hey" I smile nervously, trying hard not to betray myself. The second time this morning. Or it's third? Or it's fourth? Whatever!
He moves to sit on the empty seat at the corner clearly because he doesn't want a repeat of what happened with Xana. He was a complete jerk for doing that. After the second week Marcus joined my first period math class for reasons unknown to me but then i saw that it really ticked Xana and Rashid off. Hmmph
"Today we'll be writing a test on trigonometry " announces Mr. Morris to the class.
What? Who the hell gives a test early in the morning after a weekend?
"Could this day get any better?" I mutter quietly to myself.
"But first we'll do a little revision on Pythagoras' theorem, okay" he continues and I roll my eyes.
