Corruption

Visions

Rebecca Jinx was the only daughter of Carlos and Jessica Jinx. Although from different career paths, they found a way to make things work in the end. Their daughter was what they called a 'cultural beauty'. Her father's Latino side allowed for her hair to be soft and wavy, complimenting her dark brown eyes. Her mother's African side gave her dark brown skin and a round facial structure, making her look much younger than she actually was. Rebecca had all the access to the latest gadgets, cosmetics and everything else she wanted. However, her family had one major flaw: her parents couldn't, and still can't, say no to her. Therefore, she grew to become the basic 'rich girl' she is now. 

She grew to have the habit of not caring for much around her. She didn't care for people, emotions, and anything in between. That is until it gave her what she wanted. Therefore, she developed a set of manipulative skills to get what she wanted from her parents, her peers, or anyone in general. She didn't want power, fame, or for people to like her. She wanted what she wanted when she wanted it. In short...

"A total diva," TJ said, explaining Rebecca's personality to William. "She could be a useful asset to us, don't you think?"

"How do we get her here with us?" William asked, giving Rebecca the subconscious side-eye.

TJ snapped his fingers in front of William's face, focusing his attention back onto him. "Not by doing that, of course. Allow me" he smirked. He walked over to Rebecca's single table, his glistening smile at the ready. "Rebecca! What a surprise seeing you here!"

"Hi TJ. What do you want?" she replied, not looking up from her phone.

"Remember when we were younger, you kept saying how you wanted to meet William Apex"

"Yeah? What of it?". TJ stepped aside for her to see William sitting in his usual seat, looking back at her. As TJ had previously instructed, William waved at her.

Springing to life, she stood up and walked over to his table. "William! It's wonderful to be meeting you! My name is Rebecca Jinx" she held her hand out for him to shake it.

He reluctantly shook her hand. "Wonderful to meet you, Rebecca. Why don't you join us?" he feigned kindness without a smile, gesturing her to a seat between the boys.

"You know, I was just telling William how long you and I had been friends" TJ added.

"You were talking about me? Good things, I hope" she joked.

"Only such, Becca, only such" TJ beamed. "Right, Will?"

"That's correct. He was telling me your parents are in high positions in Techa Industries and Close-Up. You are lucky to be born of such varying career paths" William said, still not smiling.

"Yes, that's true. Your parents are surgeons, are they not? I recall that they treated my mother when I was born, or so they tell me" Rebecca feigned innocence. 

The three rich kids calmly talked for a while as they rested. They soon decided that they would go somewhere else for the time being and got up, causing a few others that they didn't know to follow suit. TJ overheard Layla angrily ask "Who the hell does he think he is?!" 

"Better than you, obviously" he smirked a reply. All of a sudden, Layla dared William to hit her again. Confused, Rebecca asked TJ what had led up to this point.

"That girl and her blonde friend spray-painted the words 'wasteful riches' on the back of William's property. William got angry and punched the girl in the face. Now, I think she's trying to get into his head or something" TJ shrugged. 

"Well, whatever she's doing, it's working. Look, he stopped and let her speak" Rebecca commented, looking away from the situation.

TJ and Rebecca watched the argument unfolded in front of their eyes. William stomped back, the smirk he held before was now gone. "Let's go" he ordered.
