creep. Now, what do you want?” I shove back the knife into my boot and step away from the guy.

“I see that you don’t recognise me. Shame. I remember you Morpho and imagine how surprised I was when my boys told me that you decided to use my parking space for yourself. I see that you are new at this school and I will give you the chance because you don’t know the rules here, you are free to go and remove your motor from my spot.” He is not serious right now. He crept on me because of the parking space. I burst out laughing. The corridor now is completely quiet. Is that quiet, that for a second, I thought that we are alone, but a quick glance around ensured me that everyone is focused on us.

“You cannot be serious. Who are you to tell me to move my ride? I will tell you that I was first and you were late. Next time come two minutes earlier and the spot will be yours, darling. It is simple as that. I don’t know the rules you are talking about, but I will give you a chance and let you go. Now make your way away from me and never approach me like that ever again.” He thinks that I am someone who will listen to some rich prick. HA, in his dreams, I don’t belong to anyone and I will not let him ride me through the mud in front of those people.

“Whoa, beautiful chillout. My brother here doesn’t have manners. Let me give you a tour around, if you are interested and we can get to know each other a little better.” The guy from earlier makes his way to me. I was happy to see him, to be honest. I don’t know why, he has this vibe that I like, and I think we could become really good friends, if there exist anything like that. My face, however, stays stoic and doesn’t show any emotions. The guy wraps his arms around my shoulders and looks at the other guy.

“Liam be nice to our guest from England. I think we need to be at our best behaviour and let her see that we are not a bunch of pricks. She needs friends after all.”

“I don’t need friends actually and keep your hands to yourself. All I need is peace. It won’t be long for me to be in this prison, so let me be and don’t cross me.” The other guy, Liam, is quiet but still focused on me. He is eyeing me like he wants to solve some hard equation, like I am a missing puzzle from his jigsaw.

“I am sorry beautiful, I just wanted to welcome you to our school in a good manner, not like present here Liam. The rules that he was talking about are important for everyone, as you see we are the leaders of this ‘prison’, and everyone belongs to us. You will find out soon what it means but don’t bother your pretty head for now, as you will follow the rules and listen to us, we will leave you alone.” This is ridiculous. I thought that only movies are that dump to show how hierarchy in American’s schools work but now I see that this shit is for real.

“I don’t care about you or your stupid rules. I don’t belong to anyone and I will do anything I want so you can take your stupid advice and shove them deep in your ass, thank you very much.” I rush from the spot I was standing and make my way to the classroom. The last words I heard sounded like a treat.

“We will see Morph, we will see.” Well, yes, we will. Game on Liam.

I don’t understand how the schooling in US works just yet, but I know that the day is divided into some periods. Anyway, it is time for lunch, that’s what my timetable says. I haven’t sat on my lessons without some digging. I manage to find out that the guy who, oh so threatened me unofficially, is Liam Braison. Yes, son of the most powerful Charlie Braison, grande competitor of my father. He warned me about Liam before and he asked me to stay away from him. Well, how convenient this situation is. Normally I would listen to my father but now that he so nicely destroyed my plans to be suspended, I have decided to have a little fun with Liam. To be honest, I will also appreciate it because this guy is a dick and he needs to understand that I will never bow to him or anyone else. So, I will kill two ducks in one shoot, how amazing. My day become better at this time. My lessons were boring, but I also paid a little attention only to find out that I already had that material in my old school in London. I thought that England was way behind America with the educational system, but I couldn’t be more wrong. Maybe it is because I always been a genius and I also had some extension to my studies; I don’t know, and I don’t really care.

I pack my books and make my way to the canteen or rather cafeteria, or some shit. Everyone is following me and whispering some bullshits behind my back. I wink at some guys standing near me and asked them to show me the way. They kindly agree and I follow them. The cafeteria is huge. I never seen anything like that. It looks like an expensive restaurant. Tables are rounded and chairs are solid wooden painted in white. How extravagant. We made our way to the line and I thanked them for their kindness blah. I need to be nice, for now at least because I don’t know where what is, and I need someone to show me around. I ordered some chicken soup and an apple pudding
