RUTH WALKER:
It has been a month now.
We have moved to New York City from Los Angeles after paying off all the debt of my mother's taking money from a very powerful family called, "Roerig"
Although I have never seen those people but of what I know about them, they are the richest people on earth. As much as he has money, the double is he powerful. The man of that family is the king of New York City and is a total monster in person. He was called Davidson Roerig.
Rhys contacted his dealer and he arranged his meeting with Decousta. It then took Rhys about three to four days to get Decousta to arrange a meeting with the second son of that family, Micheal Roerig.
Micheal Roerig was a drug addict and Rhys had some really deep knowledge of drugs. In moments they bonded well and Rhys was taken to the king, his highness Mr. Davidson Roerig himself.
Since the amount was in billions, Mr. Davidson wanted to do the dealing with my dad, an adult and not some college student like my brother was.
Mr. Davidson Roerig gave my dad the money with the ultimatum to pay off the money within a year or they would rip my dad's body apart and sell his organs to make money out of him. There was a contract made like that, which my
dad had even signed.
The ultimatum was too small but Mr. Roerig wasn't ready to lend us money on any other condition and looking at the urgency, Dad took the bait which had a huge huge risk involved with it.
According to the contract, if selling his organs won't cover up the expense he could take anything he wants that is owned by my father.
He asked dad to shift to New York City with family, and was appointed as the principal of Illyod High.
Illyod High, the richest and the best school in the city. It's a place where all the big shots have
studied from.
Since my dad was the new principal of this school it was an easy admission in Illyod High for me and my brothers, Noah and Rhys.
We had just shifted in the quarters of Illyod High, this aloof house that has been provided to us at the outskirts of the city with a complementary car and a 24x7 driver at his service. It was a very nice job and the perks related to this job were also beautiful.
Our new home in New York was really beautiful
Me and Noah had a battle of two hours last night fighting over who was going to take the only room upstairs and
thankfully, I won the argument and the
room forcing my baby brother to sleep in the closet.
Meanwhile dad and Rhys settled for the two rooms downstairs. Mom shifted with dad in his room.
Although this was a small house, but it
was better than our apartment back in LA, at least we will have some privacy and whole building to only us with a sweet little garden out in front along with a small store room outside.
We shifted the fortnight and today it was
the day we had to head to the school already.
Since, Rhys was in college run by Illyod High's name, he was going on a different building at a different time and had left already early in the morning.
I, was an eleventh grader. I had to go early at 6am in the morning meanwhile my brother Noah had his classes starting from 9 am in the morning.
So he was gonna stay back while I had to head to school with dad, being the principal himself!
"Ruth, just how long is it gonna be before you leave?" Dad screamed from downstairs and I'm sure I heard mom giggle from the kitchen.
She was trying to become a good typical home friendly mother. But things were still not okay between her and her kids. It's not gonna be so soon and so easy.
"I'm running late princess!" Dad yelled again.
"Two minutes dad!" I said blow drying my hairs, "I just gotta choose my outfit!"
"Gosh, you girls take so much time getting dressed really!"
Dad sighed and squat down before his eight years old son while Noah just played with his tablet laid down against his stomach on the floor of the living room.
"Just a suggestion big boy, whenever you have a girlfriend in future, never tell her the exact time of your departure."
"Why?" Noah asked, making an innocent face looking up at dad.
Even though Noah hated mom, but he truly loved dad. We all did. Our dad was our almighty. We owe him our whole lives.
"Tell her the time an hour before the actual one, that would just save the day for you! Now look at your sister, she takes so much time getting dressed!"
Dad again yelled looking upstairs, his words directed directly at me,
"Am I going to reach school before it ends today or not?"
"Come on Jacob!" Mom giggled at his words.
I climbed down the stairs in a hurry with an angry pout on my lips,
"Hey! I don't take that much time!!"
Noah chuckled looking at me and so did mom alongwith dad.
"Do I look okay?!" I asked Noah, putting on my earings, showing off my looks to him, " Or do I need a change?"
"You look pretty with whatever you wear baby!" Mom tried to jumble in between.
"I wasn't asking you Mrs. Walker!" I replied.
"At least you can call me mom?" She tried again.
"Really?! Mom?! You want me to call you mom? Do you even know the meaning of being a mother to someone?" I crossed my arms before my chest and started off shaming her with my words.
"The kids are the whole god damn world for a mother, but you-" I was about to say some more when dad grabbed me from my arm.
"Ohkay enough! No more fights now, I'm getting really late right now!"
Dad quickly said and pulled me into a tight, strong hug, "My daughter is the most beautiful girl in the entire world!"
"Yeah right! You say that even when I look like a dummy with a running nose in high fever!" I replied with a giggle.
Mom smiled briefly looking at me and dad sharing a happy moment. I wonder if she was really happy being sober from two months straight?
"That's because you really are the prettiest in my eyes!" Dad chuckled and I scoop up my bag but then I suddenly realises that I forgot my notebook.
"Oh Shit!" I slammed my palm against my forehead and excused myself from Dad's embrace running upstairs to my room. "I'll just come, give me two minutes!"
The three of them watched me leaving like that. Dad sighed and Noah chuckled.
"There goes another half an hour!" Noah closed in with that comment.
~~~
I head to high school feeling confident. Here's to a new life in a new city and a new beginning.
Although I really miss Alan, but that's okay. He just texted me the most beautiful good morning message.
'I am sending big kisses and a big smile to you so that your morning starts out with the love that you deserve!
I love you and I miss you thiiiiiiiiiiis much!"
I couldn't refrain myself from smiling after I read that message and called him, but he didn't pick up.
Maybe he is busy with his part of school, I'll try calling him later.
I was walking through my way entering through the school gates completely minding my own business scrolling through my cellphone, just then out of nowhere suddenly this stranger guy came and grabbed my face cupping inside his hands and mashed his lips on mine.
I was shocked and frozen on my feet right there but then the guy kissing me, pushed his tongue inside my mouth, which got me back to my senses and I pushed him away from me with all of my energy and looked at him in a complete mess.
"THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM DUDE?!"
He looked at me shocked.
"I'm so sorry but that was the dare to kiss the first freshman entering through the gate on her lips."
He pointed over to a group of biker guys behind him and I took a look at them.
There were three guys in total, two of them looked like the henchmen of the main guy standing there.
Wearing a leather jacket with a smirk pasted on his lips, he was like a devil but still looked sexy!
"By the way I'm Luke!" The guy suddenly said chirping happily as I just looked at the guy standing there in leather jacket
He was also looking right straight at me. It felt like he was trying to challenge me with his looks. He was laughing hard at me being so easy to be kissed by a stranger.
And his laughter, it hit right at my ego.
After I didn't replied to Luke for long he
sighed and was about to turn around and leave when I called out to him still glaring at that laughing biker jerk behind him with his other biker henchmen.
"Yup?"
Luke asked with hope, his face right before mone and I slapped hard across his face.
Luke stood there stunned staring at me, holding his palm against the cheek I slapped just now.
"Dare or not, I don't allow just anyone to kiss my lips just like that and get away with it!"
I glared at the laughing biker jerk who was supposedly the senior bully and the one to give him the dare and said that.
I may have slapped Luke, but it was an indirect answer to that laughing jerk whose face became serious too now after getting the slap.
I'm sure the biker guy understood what my glare meant and he jumped off his bike's tank.
I walked over from where he was standing giving him the cold stares throughout the way I was walking.
He was too full of himself too to break his eye contact with mine and so, as soon as I walked away from his sight walking behind his back, he made a sound.
"STOP!"
I know it was for me but I was the daughter of the principal of this school too, hence, I thought that I had the kind of power that way too.
Little did I know that things didn't work that way at Illyod High.
Here, the kings were someone else.
The people who I cannot afford to mess with at all!
I kept walking ignoring him through.
Although he never tried calling out to me
again, but I knew I was on his radar from
here on.
