Forced Love

Chapter 9 Ace

I got up from the bed, today was the day that I would be going to a stupid prestigious private school. Ugh, I looked at the uniform they gave me, since its fall I have to wear a vest over my shirt with a tie around it and a stupid skirt. Like this couldn't go much worse, the shirt was really see through, at least I had a jacket. Maybe later I would ask if I could wear pants, for now I wore shorts under my skirt. I slowly came downstairs ready for to go to the dreaded place. Jon gave me the brochure but I still didn't like it.

"Hey Katie, are you ready to go?" asked Carter as I came downstairs. I didn't answer him, I know I was being rude and all but I still didn't like the idea of this marriage thing.

"Hey fiancée, ready to go?" Adam said. I brushed past him and got into the car, if they were going to sit next to me they're funny. Carter sat in the shotgun and Adam sat one space from me. I put my leg on my other one and we were soon leaving the house.

"Are you excited?" Carter asked trying to relieve the tension.

"No, I don't want to be surrounded by arrogant people." I said looking out the window.

"Hey, it's not that bad, maybe you'll be able to make friends." he said.

"Never had friends anyway."

"Hey, we'll be your friends starting today." Carter said cheerfully and looked at me but I only glared out the window. We were near the school and I didn't want to be seen in this.

"Stop." I said, the driver suddenly stopped and I got out.

"Where are you going?" Carter asked.

"Nobody knows we're fiancées so I'd like to keep it like that thank you very much." I said as I went past them. Adam rolled down the window. "Well, we'll be going then." he smirked and the driver passed by me with Adam waving arrogantly. I rolled my eyes and I was soon here, the gates were pretty big and the school itself looked gorgeous. It felt like being in an unknown place like wonderland.

I came through the doors and everyone totally ignored me. Well I did have glasses on and my hair was slit back in a ponytail and I honestly don't look the part in beautiful. All of these people were beautiful, and probably obnoxious. I looked around and went to my first period which was study hall. Honestly, rich people have too much time in their hand, I sat in a desk near the window, unlike normal high school the teachers come to the classes and we just stay in one classroom. Well that's easier for me anyway; I put my head down and waited for a very long time before someone tapped me on the shoulder. I got up slowly to see who it was, it was a really a charming boy, he looked like one of those innocent boys.

"Hi, you're new here right?"

"Yeah, what's it to you?" I asked rudely.

"I'm the president of this grade Alex, so I'm here to greet you." he said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, hi." I said. He sat the desk next to me, this might be interesting.

"So, what kind of family are you from?" he asked.

"Let's just say I belong to a company." I said. He nodded and I knew he was thinking of different companies with my name in it but study period had ended. The classes went on as the same thing except everything was harder at the public high school level. After all that crap was done it was now time for lunch. Alex took me by the arm and dragged me over there, long table with elegant seats were assorted in the cafeteria. It looked like a really fancy restraunt to me; he took me over to this table in the back.

"You can sit here if you want, it's just me and a few of my friends." he said, and then he dragged me over to get some food. The food here was too overpriced if you ask me but oh well it was a rich school after all. I just got myself some bread while Alex went all out with soup, a sandwich and salad.

"You eat a lot don't you?" I asked.

"No I don't."

"Yes you do Alex, don't lie to the girl." A girl said sitting next to him. She had a very petite figure, she only had a sandwich and a drink and she was very pretty, no pretty wasn't a word for her. More like angelic, she had pretty shinny hair and she had a head band to pull it back.

"Oh, this is Charlotte, she's the vice president or should I say Queen?" he said as he ate some of his sandwich.

"Like the King said," she said pointing to Alex who engulfed down his sandwich."I'm Charlotte but call me Charlie." she said holding out her hand and I took it.

"Are those like nick names that everyone calls you?" I asked. The both turned to each other and laughed.

"We have a lot of different names that we do by like Guardians, Rose Guardians, Freak Cards and ect. Though, we're usually called the Guardians since there are seven of us in all." Charlie said taking a sip from her drink.

"What kind of positions are there?" I asked. Alex nodded, "There's us, then there are two Jokers, a Knight, Ace and Jack, well actually no one ran for Ace so there is an opening, you want it?" Alex asked.

"I don't know, what kind of student council is this, it sounds like a royal court." I said. "It's not really a royal court; well it kinda is but-"

"We're more of the weirdo court but we call ourselves the Guardian court." someone said as he sat down beside me.

"Yeah, the royal court is them over there." another one who looked exactly like the one sitting next to me. He motioned his eyes to where he was pointing to. There was a round table with gorgeous people around it, I noticed Carter was there.

"That's the Alice court or what you call it the royal court. We're just more of the weirdo court or the Guardian court since we are the student council." he said pointing to them. We both turned our back and they all nodded.

"I'm John by the way. Piss the Alice court off and you'll never live through high school" he smiled. The other guy waved his hand around me wanting my attention. "And I'm Andrew, trust me we've been there before and that's why we're known as the weirdoes." he said. I looked both at them closely; I think I could tell which one was which.

"These two trouble makers are the Jokers, they take care all the festival and carnival ideas here." Charlie said. A very cheerful intellectual looking person came out.

"This is Klaude, our Jack." Charlie said, he smiled and I nodded. He looked like one of those people who didn't show any mercy when it comes to conserving time and keeping money, that thought made me shiver somehow. A rather quiet yet strong looking guy came over and sat next to Alex.

"This is my man Nicolas but we call him Nick for short. He's the Knight."

"Hey." he said with a deep voice.

"So who might you be?" John asked.

"Very pretty lady here you've got King." Andrew said.

"Her name is Katie, and I'm hoping she'll be the Ace." he said.

"Just so you know Ace will be the lap dog." Klaude said with a smile. Definitely not one to tick off. Well I'm already suffering through and I don't have a job to escape so guess I might as well be in it.

"Sure, nothing else better to do, I'll be your Ace." I said.
