The Elites

Lucretia looked at herself in her insanely large bathroom mirror as she put on her uniform which consisted of a Gucci blouse, black skirt, black blazer with a red trim paired with black chunky heels. She finished the final touches of her make-up and headed downstairs. She put her bag on one of the chairs before greeting her mother. "Buenos Días, Madre". She said as she gave her mother a peck on her cheek. "Mama where's Papa". She asked after she was done with her breakfast. Her mother didn't know what to say to her little girl. Last night, he didn't come home. This routine of his had being happening for some months now but she found it normal. But now, she realised her husband would go to work very early and come home very late. Sometimes he doesn't even bother to come home. "Mama, I asked you a question". Lucretia snapped her mother out of her trance. Camille, her mother cleared her throat and said, " Honey, he left home early today for work". To be honest, she didn't even know where her husband was. Lucretia frowned. This had been the fourth time this week. Her Sweet Sixteen was in two days time and she wondered whether he was going to be present. Camille realised her daughter was getting late, she quickly ushered her out of the house. Lucretia found herself in garage and chose het favourite blood red Ferrari to ride in. 30 minutes later, she arrived infront of Las Encinas, the most prestigious and elite Ivy League school in Madrid. She got out of her car and looked around her surroundings and breathedin the familiar air. 'Ah, the smell of rich kids'. She thought. Students enteredthe building with their other halves and bestfriends and that was when she decided to look for hers. She spotted them sitting on the huge stairs at the entrance of the school. She made her way towards them. Immediately she got to them, Alehandra, Rosá and Délores hugged her. "Gosh, I missed you soo much". Rosá said after backing out from their hug. "You saw her 3 weeks ago". Àron said. "Well it was too damn long". Alehandra agreed with her friend. "Hey, leave my girl alone". A voice Lucretia recognised as her boyfriend's. She turned facing him. " Hey, nena". He said to her. "Hola, mi amor". She also said before connecting their lips. He smiled in the kiss which made her also do so. "Guys, please can you keep it PG in here". Rosá groaned. "Oh please, as if you and Àron don't make out in every corner of the school". Lucretia said after breaking their kiss. They all started tp laugh. How they missed these moments. They made their way through the hallways of Las Encinas. Out of the blue, Emiliano whispered in Lucretia's ears. "This skirt is way too short for my liking. All the boys are going to look at you". "But you're the only one who's going to see what's underneath". Lucretia said before her boyfriend's attention was ripped from her to something well more specifically some people infront of them. "You have got to be kidding me ". Àron muttered beside her. "Who the heck are they". She asked looking at the two boys and the girl before her. "Wait, didn't you hear? They got scholarshipsto study in Las Encinas because their school was burnt to ashes". Alehandra said as Lucretia looked at her shocked. Since when did this school offer scholarships to poor kids. Lucretia eyed the new students. The first guy looked a bit shy, the other looked like he was soo happy to be there and asking for people's i********: username. The last girl was a Muslim. That's what they all thought because she was wearing a hijab. The bell ringed as it was time for class to start. All the friends entered their class rooms and sat in their seats. The teacher finally came and asked the new students to introduce themselves. The first one was Guillermo. "What did he say?" . He asked Aaliyah in Spanish as he couldn't speak English. Aaliyah translated what the teacher said. Guillermo stood up and said, "Um... Hi. My name Guillermo del Toro. I very happy to be here with everyones of you". The whole class started to laugh at his English. "Stop it!!". The teacher warned. The second guy stood up and introduced himself. Aaliyah was the last person to do so. "Hi, my name is Aaliyah Muhammad. I'm sixteen years old. I want to become a Professional diplomat in the United Nations". Everyone was shocked by her fluent English. "Seems like Lu has a competition". Rosá said and the whole class laughed. Lucretia glared at her and if glaring could kill, she would be six feet under. Evey year, we choose the best student. And who ever wins it will get to study the next two years. Who can tell me where?". The teacher said and Rosá put her hand up. "At a school in California. Which gives you access to an Ivy League university". "You look extremely sexy when you talk that way". Àron whispered in Rosà's ears. He began to place kisses on her neck but the teacher didn't notice because he was too busy explaining to Aaliyah. "Àron!!. Not here". She giggled. "Don't worry we'll continue this later". He said to her
