XANDER: Taming The Play Boy

SAMANTHA ~Sophomore year~ "Aren't you excited sweetie? You finally got into Blackwool Royal!" My mum speaks excitedly. I turn away from her then secretly roll my eyes and blow out a deep breath. My mom has been making a big deal out of this issue of me getting into Blackwool Royal,yep you heard that right, "ROYAL". Blackwool Royal High is the ultimate Goal for every teenager starting highschool in Blackwool Town. Why is it the ultimate goal and dream? Well because it's not that easy getting in,only rich kids get in easily. It's literally a school for rich people's kids,talk about rich,by rich people,I mean children of politicians,ministers,presidents, business men,doctors etc. The list goes on and on,as long as your parent is a millionaire+,you're in,but..you also need to be sharp and bright, I know you're probably thinking about bribery but...that's where the problem is,you can NEVER,and I mean never ever bribe the Blackwool Royal Owners. well, not that you can't try, you actually can, but that's if you wanna find your face in the papers the next morning. Headlines being "millionaire politician try's to bribe his child's way into Blackwool Royal High." Ha ha,funny right? Or not. So,that's why mom is making a big deal out of this,I'm not that surprised anyway,my dad is one of the most influential businessmen in this Town,he's always on the front pages of papers,which can be quite uncomfortable for me because I always get that thing where people stare at you for long seconds and then they snap with, "that's it, you're Richard Greens daughter." Eighty percentage of people see me as a way paver into my father's business and good graces,so I try by all means to be salty as crap,which turned out well for me,I always wear my b***h attitude face when I go out in public,it scares the thirsty people away. "Momm..it's not that big of a deal okay?" "What? Of course it is,your good grades alone made them smile." "Mhmm,are you sure it wasn't my surname that did?" She pauses at that,never dropping her smile. "No way,you got A's sweetheart,your father's name has nothing to do with you getting into that school,you're brilliant and I'm so proud of you." I look at my mom with so much adoration,doctor Eloisa Green is my idol,I live everyday wanting to hear her say those four words. "I'm proud of you." "Thanks Mom," I smile. "You should probably call your dad and share the news with him." "Right." I jump down from the stool and head to my bedroom,then I call my dad. My dad is always away on business trips,but when he's home,he makes sure to devote his time to mum and I. First Day Of School I look up at the expensive designed building. This is it Sam, you're going to walk in there with confidence,you're not the only sophomore in there. I collect myself and then I walk,I push the doors open,if I thought outside was so beautiful,then I don't know what to call the inside. Students are busy with their own things,no one is even paying attention to me. Whof! Such a relief,I was worrying for nothing. I keep walking and my words begin to turn against me,a few heads start to turn and I hear some low whispers. "Hey gorgeous, sophomore?" I nod at a guy who has a ball in his hand. "That's Samantha Green." "I know her,she's got a super rich dad I heard." "Yes, should we approach her?" "You don't want to do that,she's quite rude." "Yeah,she always hangs out alone, she'll just embarrass you." I keep looking for a locker with the number on the card the vice principal gave me earlier in the office. I breathe in relief when I find it,I open and place a few of my things inside,then I go to class. It's been quite a day,it's break time so I walk in the direction where students are headed,I guess that's where the cafeteria is. The moment I take a turn,I read the word Cafeteria in gold above the doors,I push it open and enter,there's a lot of people inside, and the place is so beautiful,the designer tables and benches are so smooth and fancy. Now I get Mom's hype about this place,she must have been given the tour. I sit at the empty table near the doors and dig into my food,I keep examining the place with googly eyes. There's a counter in the far end where a server is, wow,you get to pick food for free as well? Ultimate school for sure. "Hi." I look up and find a pretty brunette girl starring down at me. "Uh,hi." "Can I join you?" "Sure." She sits opposite me. I keep eating, minding my own business but i can feel her stare weighing on me. I move my eyes and look at her. "Ehem." She clears her throat. "I'm also new here you know,my dad is senator Parker." Just by her first statement,I know that her and I won't get along. "Oh?" Is all I say,she didn't even say her name before stating her social position in this town. "He's running for senator if I'm not mistaken,he hasn't yet won that position,am I right?" A shade of pink stains her cheeks,she's embarrassed? Good. "But he is going to win it,the majority are supporting him." She says with a clipped tone,she's trying her best not to snap at me. "But things can always change,that's just the thing about politics,one can never be too sure." I can see I'm getting too high on her nerves. "Yes," she grits out. "But my father has connections,he's powerful,I do believe that he will without a doubt win this." I place my sandwich in the box, losing my appetite. "Sorry,what's your name?" I ask her. "Oh, pardon my manners,my name is Jessy,what's yours?" "Jessy as in Jessica?" "Yes,but you can just call me Jessy,I like it that way." "How miserable,she doesn't even like her own name," I whisper low. "Excuse me?" She didn't hear what I just said. "I said great,my name is Samantha." "Yeah,i know you,Your dad is Businessman Richard Green,he's pretty famous,and so are you." Now I see why she's putting up with me. "You must be too into social statuses,you seem to know too much." "Well,I think it's better to know who is good for friends." "Meaning?" I ask. "People should understand levels of which group is which," I look at her blankly because I don't really get it. "As in,the higher ranks you know? there's what we made as groups,the rich,richer and richest." Oh...now I get it. "So there's groups based on status?" "Yes,groups based on how rich and famous we are." "You mean how rich and famous our parents are?" I say with a hint of sarcasm,her mouth remains slightly open,like she doesn't have a response to what I just said. "Uhm,well our parent's money is literally ours right?" "Not really,I believe one can brag about money if it's their's, earned from their own hard work." Finally,she gets frustrated. "I just remembered I have somewhere else to be right now,see you later?" She stands . "Sure," I say. Then she leaves and I can finally relax,what a snob. After Class,I decide to wander around in the other rooms of the next building. I hear loud noises and thumping of something,a ball perhaps? I push the door open and step inside. I make my way to the benches where a few students are seated,I take a seat on the upper benches in the last roll and watch as guys stand in a circle talking to a man who seems to be the coach. Basketball players, and they are attractive for sure. "Samantha?" Oh God please no,not again. I plaster a fake smile and turn to face the girl from earlier. "I've been looking for you,I couldn't catch you after class." "Uh,yeah,I left quickly." I was trying to avoid you,I voice inwardly. "I see,I came to talk to a friend of mine from the basketball team,are you a fan of sports?" "Yes." "Great,then you should watch the real sports then,come with me." She grabs my hand and literally drags me off the chair and out of the room I sigh. We walk out of the building and reach a more open space,it's a fancy field. "This is where the guys play football,you remember when I mentioned about groups earlier?" How can I forget. "Most of these guys are in our group, the higher group,we call it the Elites." I look on the field and sure enough,these guys look super duper rich,every one of them screams money,even just by a single glance. She drags me to a space and we both sit. "That's Bree,our cheerleading captain and my best friend,there's also Naomi,she couldn't make it to watch practice,you'll meet her soon though,I believe the four of us will make a good team." Wait what? Team? Four of us? No way in hell will I deal with two more snobs who think they are better than others. "Oh wait! There he is,I'll be right back." She stands and heads down to where the guys are. I look at Bree,she's very beautiful,tall,slim curvy,with smooth skin and long gold straight hair that falls to her tailbone,she looks like a Barbie doll. I slump in the seat and start thinking of a way to run away from Jessy,I check to see if she's not looking at me so that I can make my escape, but the moment my eyes land on who she's talking to,my whole world tips upside down. Who the heck is THAT!?
