It's an elite institution for international students from powerful and wealthy families funded by the parents themselves. However, It doesn't take long for Mariah to see how privileged her classmates are and to realize what it will take to become one of them

The Scars of Grandrews Academy
Before the Trio ever set foot in Grandrews Academy, their fathers were the kind of men who changed the world quietly-three brilliant scientists working at VESPER Genomics, a company that promised miracles and delivered secrets instead. They were geniuses. Pioneers. Men who dug too deep. And suddenly, they were gone. One "suicide." One disappearance. One unexplained illness. Three tragedies that never felt like coincidences. Three families ripped apart and shoved into the shadows. Their daughters-Elsa, MJ, and Lilah-were left with pieces that didn't fit. Missing files. Unasked questions. A silence so heavy it felt intentional. Years later, Grandrews Academy comes calling. A perfect school with perfect opportunities. Full scholarships. Guaranteed futures. And an interest in the Trio that makes no sense. Because Grandrews doesn't invite girls like them. It recruits them. The halls are too polished. The staff too watchful. The donors too familiar with their names... and their fathers' work. The closer the Trio look, the more the past claws back- whispers about VESPER, rumors about rituals, hints that their fathers were involved in something far bigger, far darker, and far from over. Grandrews Academy has been waiting for them. Not because of who they are- but because of where they come from. Their fathers tried to protect them. Tried to warn them. Tried to fight something no one should have been fighting alone. Now it's the Trio's turn to face what their fathers left behind. And at Grandrews, the past isn't buried. It breathes.

[ FINISHED - unedited ] ❝How do I... How do I stop them?" "You want to stop them?" Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Yes," I nodded. She immediately broke out into a high-pitched laugh. "Oh Laura, you can't.❞ Every prestigious high school has this. A group of people that are somehow, in some way "ranked" higher and superior to the other students. But at Redwood Academy, the system is a little different. Considering there is a wider range of students, the poor to the rich, you're ranked on how feared you are, despite the fame, money, family, or talent you have. Tao Kingsbury and Isaia Woods are quite high on this ranking system. And that's where they intend on staying. So tell me how some new bitch named Laura shows up out of the complete blue, not a background or dollar to her name, and is quickly climbing the social rank? And tell me why the only people who truly fear her are the ones that are feared themselves?
