Laura
Today starts off like any other my alarm going off at bam telling me I have to get up and get ready for college. It's a rule in our house that any of my fathers children have to go to college otherwise they get cut off. Being the mayor isn't easy but what's even harder is being one of his children.
Putting on that fake practiced smile to look in the mirror I grab my clothes and head to the shower. I stand under the steaming hot water thinking about what today has in store for me like the meeting my father wanted to have with me tonight that he's keeping so hush hush.
Once I'm finally feeling awake I dry off and blow dry my long brown hair styling it so that it flows down my back before I put on my makeup and blue Chanel dress with matching heels.
Heading down the stairs of my apartment I look at the time to see it 7:15am already. Feeling rushed I quickly make a coffee in my tumbler and grab an extra for Freddie my body guard before heading out the door and locking it.
"Good morning miss King how are you today?" Freddie smiles as he opens the door to my Prius to get in. "How are you always so chipper in the morning Freddie" I groan as I hand him his coffee before getting in. "It's a beautiful day today miss King that's why and I've got a lovely woman bringing me a coffee every morning so I can't complain" looking at him before he closes the door I let out a frustrated sigh.
"Freddie I've told you multiple times, enough of this miss King stuff. You've been looking after me since I was a baby, it's Laura to you" he shuts the door and climbs in the front seat as he adjusts the mirror to look at me and smiles
"sorry Laura I always forget"
Freddie has looked after me since I was just a new born, making sure that nothing bad ever happens to me. I mean not that my life is ever really that interesting, you'd have to have a death wish to go toe to toe with a guy that's 200 pounds of muscle. Old or not he's fast and he's one of the best shots I've seen with a gun.
The drive to the campus is quick and silent but not an uncomfortable one, more like when you enjoy someone's company enough that you don't have to fill the time in with having conversations.
Soon we're pulling up to the parking lot and Freddie pulls into our normal spot. Getting out of the front Freddie then opens my door "miss King we're here" raising an eyebrow I take off my seatbelt but remain sitting giving him a pointed look "s-sorry I meant Laura" I smile as I nod and make my way out of the car "that's better Freddie" slinging my bag over my shoulder I make my way over to the building with Freddie close behind.
Spotting my best friend and partner in crime Anna I make my over my mood instantly brightening. "Tell me you checked your phone this morning" she says ae I look at her a confused look on my face "should I of?" she sighs and makes a hand gesture telling me to get my phone out and when I do I see a message from her with a link.
Clicking on the link I read: 4 officers dead and 12 injured as shootout with the notorious gang the Serpents took place last night on the docks.
Police had infiltrated the gang and deduced a plan to arrest all members of the gang that were present. Most got away except for 3 of the members their names being Jack Redcliff age 21, Marshall Knight 22 and Samuel Valentino age19.
I look up from my phone the shock on my face evident "they arrested Deluca's younger brother.. I honestly would not want to be any of them.." Anna laughs "he's not untouchable Laura, the bastard deserves it. I mean look at how many people they killed" my eyes widened
"Anna don't say something like that!" I lowered my voice to a harsh whisper "you never know who's listening"
Anna laughs again and waves a carefree hand towards me "Laura you need to chill out, it's not like they have people everywhere Jesus. Your dad has you so wound up it's not funny".
Breathing a sigh I start to head to class with a quick pace "hey wait up!" Anna runs to catch up to me as I make it to my geometry class running into my least favorite person.
Ryan Whitmore is the golden boy of Cansas College also known as CC, he's the star quarter back and an absolute total douche bag who thinks he's gods gift to the earth. "Hey there Lauralie how's that body of yours doing today" he says as he looks me up and down like a wolf eyeing off his prey. "Go away Whitmore I'm not in the mood" I say as my mood instantly sours
"oh come on now don't be that way, you know if you were nicer to me I'd f**k that body of yours until you can't scream anymore". Rolling my eyes I give him a sharp glare, this guy just never gets the hint that I'm not interested.
Just as I'm about to respond Anna takes the lead " listen Whitmore she's not interested so how about you take your cm d**k and try to find a desperate hussy to stick it in okay?" My eyes widen as a laugh escapes my lips before I can hold my composure.
Walking away leaving Ryan in a stupor I whisper in Anna's ear "Jesus Anna where did you learn such language" she just smiles as she replies "he had it coming Laura he's a total d**k and needed to be taken down a peg"
instinctively I let out an even louder laugh as we make it to our seats "oh he absolutely deserved it but I'm just surprised you had that hiding in you"
