《Sofia's Secret Mafia Brothers》24. I Don't Want to Go to School
Advertisement
"I need to finish next year" she said keeping her voice firm and steady. To the point it sounded unnatural.
Francesco looked shocked at Sofia's outburst "Why?"
"I don't like school. The sooner I finish the better" Sofia muttered. The truth was she needed to go to work and become independent as soon as possible to get a job.
"Well, you're not finishing next year, you're finishing in two years" Alessandro responded his voice signified that this conversation was over.
"Listen. It's important for me to finish next year" Sofia tried to remain calm and reasonable.
"I'm afraid it's not possible, Sofia. You need time to catch up, find out about curriculum differences, check how are you doing in learning in Italian and get used to the new situation. What's the issue? are you in a hurry?" Alessandro challenged looking at her with penetrating gaze.
"Yes! And isn't it my choice? Not yours? I want to finish next year" she was throwing a full blown fit.
"Sofia, I'm happy to inform you there's debate club in the school feel free to participate but what is going on here is not a debate. If I needed your input least assured I will ask for it" Alessandro said slowly, carefully as if he was speaking to a child.
Sofia got up from her chair and was about to start yelling but he stopped her with a simple hand gesture. "Standing up is not alway enough to intimidate someone especially if they're in higher position than you. It's considered disrespectful. Sit down and finish your meal"
"Then I want to drop out" Sofia announced sitting down.
"What?!" Valentino yelled and Francesco choked on the salad he was eating. While he was coughing Alessandro's eyes became sharper.
"What is this nonsense now?" Alessandro was slowly loosing patience. She couldn't see it because he seemed calm at first but the atmosphere in the room was slowly becoming suffocating.

"I told you already that I don't like school, I want to start working as soon as possible and if I can't graduate next year I might as well finish early" Sofia responded, she made sure to use a confident tone of voice despite the fact that she wasn't feeling confided at all.
"You want to start working without as much as high school diploma?" Francesco asked clearly shaken.
"That's enough." Alessandro decided "This conversation is over. At school you will focus on your studies like you mean it and after you finish high school you will attend college. I will not settle for anything less regarding your academic career"
"Preferably Harvard like Francesco, right?" Valentino said in cheery voice. He was clearly trying to lighten up the mood.
"You're kidding right?" Sofia snorted. "Me and college? No. I just want to finish that stupid school and you're not going to make me do anything"
"We will see about that Sofia, we will see" Alessandro said in dark voice. He wasn't having it. "This conversation is fascinating but I'm afraid we need to postpone the continuation since it's time for you to go to school" after saying that he placed a plastic card on the table and money.
"What's this?" Sofia asked looking at the ID with her picture and $200"
"Without this card you won't be able to enter school premises. As for the money they're for lunch, there's cafeteria in school"
"Um... Can I ask you something?" Sofia directed her question to Alessandro while picking up what he left on the table.
"Yes?" Alessandro was about to leave but stopped to hear Sofia out.
"W-What happened to Paul?"
"He's in jail. You don't need to worry about him anymore" Alessandro responded curtly. He has no intention to elaborate.

"Are you mad that I didn't tell you what he did?" She asked quietly hoping to find out what is Alessandro thinking"
"Disappointed. Yes. Mad? No" Alessandro responded truthfully"
He was disappointed in her. Not only that but she just made a fool of herself by telling them she wants to quit school. She started the fight out of nothing. The ugly guilt was eating her alive.
"Sofia, it's time to go" Valentino yelled already in the corridor.
"I will be there soon I need to go to the bathroom" she said.
"Hurry up!" He yelled back.
Sofia went to bathroom just to threw up the contents of her breakfast. She really hated herself.

The Normal Dungeon Core: Lethe
Just a normal, standard, no extra frills or gills, dungeon core LitRPG novel in a fantastical world. And as usual, a system exists! Prologue: You know all those stories about reincarnation? Where our beloved (or hated) protagonists are transferred to a new world to conquer, defeat the demon lord, rescue the princess. or are made into mythical gems of power with control over Monsters and Men (psst..a dungeon core)? Where they get a cheat-like ability, are special, granted privileges, or have knowledge from another world? Well, I read about them too in my spare time before I came here. At least, I think I did. Now, you might be asking, where is 'here' ? To answer your somewhat specific, yet vague, question my dear audience...I don't know! But what I do know is that...well nothing other than I had a past life...I think... Anyway...You are correct in assuming that I was indeed reincarnated into a dungeon core! But... ..I have no idea who I was. ...I don't seem to have any special powers or skills or cheats. ....And I was specifically told by Mr. S that I am not, and never will be, "special." Now, if you are confused, then I'm doing a great job, because you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, I haven't given you a background story, or taken you through the last few hours of my new existence. We will get to that! I promise! The main reason I am telling you this absurd and completely delusional preface, is to introduce to you the idea that I, as in me, the new dungeon core, am not "special".............. With that out of the way, how about we rewind time a bit to when I...developed my consciousness? Yes? Great! Lets goooooo! ---------
