I gulped once we came in view of the school. It was huge. It looked like ancient architecture of a large library. I grabbed my bag and got out of the car. Half the school was staring at me, at us. The twins seemed popular, why wouldn't they be? The school was named after their grandfather and eldest brother. Gio placed his hand around my shoulder and walked me into the school.
"welcome to Lincoln High" he said very loudly "I'll show you to get your schedule" people parted like the sea for us to pass as they led me to the office. The lady at the office was a kind lady named Mrs. Harrington, she handed me my schedule, locker number and a map of the school even though Gio said it was unnecessary since he knew the school very well. I rolled my eyes and walked around to find my locker.
"you won't find your locker here" Theo said to me. I raised an eyebrow "it's in the elite section, for VIPs only"
"seriously? We can't have normal lockers like other students" I groaned. Theo rolled his eyes and dragged me to a door that led into another small hallway that had a large window at the end. It was carpeted in red plush carpets and had gold and silver lockers. There were video games, a plasma tv, vending machine, Couches and beanbags. My jaw dropped. Is this even legal?
"does dad know about this?" I asked. "why are you even here when the college is on the other side of the campus?"
"we hang out here most of our free time" Theo replied with a shrug. There were a few other people in the room, about 5 of them, 2 girls and 3 boys.
"ok guys this is Sofia and she's my niece" they all raised eyebrows at me.
"Vince has a kid?" one of them asked. I almost face palmed.
"I think we need to place a sticker on your face, Lincoln's kid" Theo joked. I punched him on the arm but he just laughed it off. The girls walked over to me. They were hot.
"I'm Zoe and this is Rihanna" Zoe was a black girl with large curly hair, she had chocolate brown eyes and a very nice smile. Rihanna was a bit shorter, with pale skin, blonde hair and green eyes. She had a bored look on her face.
"I think I can introduce myself, Zoey, its Rihanna" Zoe rolled her eyes at her friend as the boys came to introduce themselves.
"Troy" he was tall, muscled, with chocolate eyes and brown hair. I smiled warmly at him.
"Trevor, we're brothers" they did look alike but Trevor had a darker hue of hair.
"Edward" he was the tallest, bulkiest with dark blue eyes that reminded me of a raging storm and strawberry blonde hair. He didn't offer a smile and turned away.
"he's a bit gruff all the time, but he's fun to be with, if you get to know him" Rihanna whispered to me and it seemed like she liked him a lot.
"where's Ace?" Trevor asked breaking the silence that had suddenly descended on the VIP room. No one spoke. Ace is coming to this school and he is one of them. Damn. I'm in deep trouble.
"I hope the idiot didn't get into any trouble" Edward mumbled but I heard him clearly. The bell rang and we dispersed to our various classes. Troy was my assistant for the day. Edward, Theo, Gio and Trevor were in college, Rihanna and Zoe were seniors, Troy, Ace and I were juniors.
"we have almost all our classes together, but you have all of them with Ace" Troy seemed unsure and scared at that fact. Ace seemed like a chill guy when I met him but everybody seemed to know something I didn't. I got stares as Troy and I walked down to class, we finally came to the class where I was supposed to be.
"wish you luck" he said before running doing the hallway. I pushed open the door and walked in. people were moving to their seats and I quickly took a back seat. I noticed that everybody avoided seating next to me. Mr. smith was a short bald man who looked to be in his fifties.
"good morning class, we have a new student joining us, Sofia" he nodded at me and I stood up. "introduce yourself"
"Sofia Carter" I said quickly and sat down before anyone could ask any questions. Mr. smith started the class, halfway through, the door opened and Ace walked in. He looked annoyed and pissed off.
"Mr. Valentino..." Mr. smith started to say but Ace cut him off.
"not in the mood" he said and started down the aisle, he froze momentarily when he saw me before he regained his composure and walked to take the seat beside me. Now I knew why no one sat there. It was Ace's seat. Mr. Smith continued the class like nothing happened. I peeked at Ace from the corner of my eye and he was staring at me. A blush crept its way up my face.
"I didn't know you were coming here" he whispered so close to my ear, that I shuddered.
"um...my dad owns the school" I stated. Like obviously. He chuckled and turned to face the teacher. I was glad when the class ended, Troy was already waiting outside the class and was surprised to see Ace.
"where have you been?" Troy asked him. He rolled his eyes.
"something came up" it was Troy's turn to roll his eyes. "come on Sof" Troy took my hand and started down the hallway. I turned briefly to look at Ace and he was glaring. Glaring at our intertwined hands.
