We all want school to be over until that one day comes and all of us will be standing in alphabetical order in a cap and gown with the person you have loved. The person you have hated. The person who broke you. The person who picked you back together. The person who stayed next to you still. The person you saw in the hall for a second a day. The person who smiled at you when you couldn't smile back. The person who you thought would be next to you. The person who you watched change over the years. The person who welcomed you. The person who you didn't know. But in the end, we are all the same, just trying to get through. Day by day. As the summer start, our future begins and I do hope you are in it.

I quickly open my dorms door to see Hannah laying on the couch. She sees me offering me a smile. I smile back sitting on the other side of the couch. "Sorry for being gone so long, I would have called...but I don't have your number." I awkwardly laugh. She shrugs.

"It's fine, oh and here." She says handing me her phone with it opened to her contacts. I quickly put in my number with my name handing her it back. I say thank you as she pockets her phone. She just nods. I wanted answers, so hopefully, she'll tell me some. I just need to ask right?

"Do you have a sister?" I ask. I notice her suck in a breath. She nods slowly probably wondering how I know. "What business does she have with the Ronan family?" I decide to push the topic.

What I was curious. I notice her chuckle softly but no amusement was in the laugh.

"My sister made a dumb mistake and got caught up with them. She has been pushing her way to the top. She has this stupid obsession with Roland, he's the oldest of the Ronan. I think she just wants to be his mafia queen." She smiles at me like I don't know about their family. I hold back a smirk.

"So you know..?" I ask her unsure.

"Oakley, everyone knows that those boys are mafia blood. They are feared at our school. Their kings, Royal blood. Along with Elijah and Oliver." She says like it's obvious.

"Who are Elijah and Oliver?" I ask never hearing their names before. A sigh comes out of her mouth.

"Elijah Ramy, He is the East mafia leader. He just took over, like Roland. They control the East side of New York and some stuff in Africa. They work with a lot of girls, clubs, that stuff. As Oliver Braydon, he is the new leader of the West mafia. They have stuff in South America, I think. He turned 18 last week, so he's just now leading. They control all the cars and electrical stuff. That group is very good at hacking." She explains. "But still the Ronan family holds the crown as they have the most money but it's close."

"What do they do, like you said the East have girls and clubs. And the West has cars and electric stuff. What does the North do?" I hesitantly ask.

"Guns and hotels." She whispers.

"And the south? Is there even a south mafia." I ask because she hasn't said much about it. I start to think about how Roland always has a gun on him.

"They have been quiet. Their leader is unknown, they deal with the simple stuff. They seem to stay away from the drama." She shrugs.

"And how do you know all of this? or does everyone know," I ask.

"Most people just know who runs what, or what each group does if they want something. I know about your family from my sister. She's told people about you and your brother. People know that your brother is co-leader now and that your mafia is now apart of theirs. People will fear you just for that." She says fiddling with her fingers.

It's not mine. It's not my mafia. Maybe my family's but not mine.

"I know manly from my sister but I did date the West's second in command." She says with pain in her voice. I give her a pitying look. "I ended it, I didn't want that life but I still want him in mine." She says looking down.

"I get it," I say giving her a soft smile. "So does everyone get along or is it like war?" I joke. She smiles at that.

"Well it was all good, no fights and everything was going smoothly. Until the West killed some of the East girls and The East stole millions worth of cars from the West. Neither North nor South didn't do anything, not wanting to pick a side. So everyone turned against each other but that was 10 years ago. Stuff has died down a little but not enough." She says. "But as I said each mafia but the south as we know, did just get a new leader, so it's about to get a whole lot better or 10 times worse." She says with a sigh.

"School will be interesting tomorrow." I clap with a grin. Hannah laughs looking at the time. We talk some more just about girl stuff. I think me and her will be good friends. She seems simple, that's good. I say goodnight after a bit noticing how it's almost 9. We really did talk all day.

I watched as she walked to her room as I shut the door of my room. I quickly strip out of this outfit hopping into the shower. Taking my time of course. I get out of the shower changing into a plain t-shirt and some shorts.

I turn off the lights as I yawn loudly. I climb into a very comfortable bed, I snuggle into the pillow. My mind stays awake as I think about everything I've learned. Still, my body overcame my mind causing me to fall asleep.

I woke to my alarm blaring. I turn it off throwing my phone on the bed as I sit up. They really are making us wake up at 7. I sigh climbing out of bed. I quickly jump into the shower washing just my body, leaving my hair alone for now.

I get out of the shower quickly putting on makeup. I kept it simple, I just put on foundation, blush, mascara, and some clear lip gloss. I make sure to cover the bruises on my neck. I decided to keep my hair natural, letting my curly blonde hair fall out of the bun I had it tucked away in. It falls to my butt.

I change into the white shirt with the school's logo on it and a skirt. I put on some simple white sneakers as the only request for shoes is they must be white. I pick up a simple diamond necklace and bracelet putting them on. I grab my black backpack pushing it on my back. I glance at myself in my mirror before I leave my room. I looked normal, but I felt differently.

Sighing I left my room to see Hannah standing there with a cookie in her hand causing me to laugh.

She was dressed the same but with no diamond jewelry, just a plain gold necklace and some white heels instead of sneakers. Her pin-straight blonde hair tied into a ponytail. She had no makeup on causing her freckles to look so bright and pretty. Her light blue eyes sparkle as the light hits them.

"You ready?" She asks after she finishes her cookie. I nod with a smile as she grabs her backpack. "It's barely even a 5-minute walk." She says as we walk out the door locking it.

We walked to the elevator, it took a long time to get downstairs as the elevator stopped at almost every floor. I was growing impatient and people were looking at me. Was it because I'm new or who my family is? I don't even know who my family is anymore. They hid so much from me but I guess it was for my protection.

We finally hit the lobby and it was crowded but when me and Hannah got out they made a path to get out of our ways. I eye Hannah with a wtf look as she holds in a laugh. We walk past people who looked like they were trying to get as far away as they could or people who kept sending mean glares.

Once we were outside it was very peaceful. "Why do all 3 leaders go to this school? They know that will cause problems right?" I ask Hannah as we start walking making sure to not run into people. The busy streets of New York amaze me, there was so much home here. Hannah smirks like it's obvious. We turn the corner of a street and I'm meet with a castle-like building, students walking into its doors.

"Well, This school separates their land. It was originally a government building but was turned into a school." She smiles as we walk to the small parking lot. "Each direction you face from this spot..." She says as we hit the first step. "One mafia owns that land, That's why there are 4 dorm buildings. One for each side." She says.

As we continue walking up the stairs two sports cars come flying into the parking lot causing us to stop and turn. A 2020 Porsche 911 and a 2020 Acura NSX. I eye the car carefully. "West's inner circle." I hear Hannah who's now next to me, whisper so only I can hear.

I cross my arms as the doors open. Two in each car, four in total. In the Porsche A tall curly blonde steps out of the driver's seat, I could see his bright blue eyes from here. He along with the other boys were wearing the school uniform, it was a simple suit with a white shirt like the girls underneath and pants. The passenger side door opens and a skinny auburn hair boy steps out, his brown eyes glaring at something the blonde boy said. "That's the second in command Ares Petrillo." She says nodding at the blonde one. Her ex. I could feel her gazing at him sadly. "And that's Forrest Andre." She says about the other one.

I nod watching as the Acura passenger door opens. A light skin boy steps out his hair a chocolaty brown with tight curls. I watch him look at the other two his hazel eyes full of joy. "Zayn Valentine." She whispers. "And that is.." She says as the driver's seat door opens revealing a tall brown-haired guy. His face serious, I watched as everyone suddenly starts to panic in their own way. His green eyes searching for something or someone. His eyes connect with mine, I don't look away expecting him to. But he stays there a smirk on his lips. I move my eyes to the ground then to Hannah. "Oliver Braydon, leader of the west." She whispers fear in her voice.

I feel her tug my shirt telling me to get moving as they were coming this way. I quickly follow her into the school. It was the middle of the year so everyone was already situated and used to each other, that's why it sucks being new.

Hannah pulls me to the front office where a black-haired boy with light brown eyes was sitting in one of the chairs.

"Hannah." He smirks when he sees her. She scoffs loudly flicking him off. I hold in a laugh as he rolls his eyes. He then looks at me eyeing me up and down. I glare at him causing him to smirk. "Is this the queen of the north?" He says with amusement. I frown, I was no queen. I turn to the front lady ignoring the guy. I get my schedule from the lady who looks scared shitless.

"Colton fuck off," Hannah mumbles causing the guy, or well Colton to push Hannah against the wall harshly caging her in. She yells out, I don't think she was expecting that. I look at the lady who is supposed to be a teacher but she seems to be hiding under her desk. Fuck it. I grab Colton by the ear violently causing him to curse out in pain. I pull him away from Hannah as she gets away from him.

"Don't ever fucking touch her." I snap at him, he stares at me not taking me seriously. He pulls away causing me to let go. He stands up straight, he's tall so I had to look up.

"I do what I want to remember that, now Ms.T." He says turning to the lady who reappeared. "Get the accusation of me breaking that kid's arm. Off my record." The lady nods, typing away at her computer. He waves goodbye as he leaves the room disappearing into the hallway. I noticed how the kids run away from him as he walks down the hall.

"Who was that? and are you ok?" I ask Hannah as she looks at her feet. She sighs.

"That was Colton Marrino, he's from the East." She mumbles grabbing my paper out of my hands. "Room B17, Yes!" She smiles changing the subject. "You have math with me first period!" I nod as we walk into the hall.

I spot Reed with girls around him. I smile at him. He winks at me before turning back to the girls. As we walk down the hall, people practically push against the lockers so they don't get in my way. Hannah tries not to laugh.

I sigh as I turn the corner to see a group of 3 guys leaning against the locker. The first had hair that was white as snow and green eyes, the second had platinum blonde hair with blue eyes, and the third had dirty blonde hair with brown eyes. I watch as Hannah pulls me to the other side of the hall as far away from them. I could feel their eyes on my back. I glance at them and all 3 were looking. Great.
