New York City, New York, 2017
-Brexon-
I groaned and opened my eyes. I looked at the clock, and it was still ten minutes before six. Usually, I would switch it off and go back to sleep. I would wake up when it was nearly noon and missed most of my classes. But today, it's like someone was forcing my body to get up and go to school early.
I stood lazily and dragged myself into taking a shower. The water was cold today, which I preferred to wake me fully. Then, I stood in front of my closet, looking at my clothes.
'What am I going to wear today? Shit! What's with me today? I don't know,' I thought.
The usual routine was that I wore whatever I could grab. Nobody cares because most people at school, especially ladies, think I always looked good with whatever I am wearing. But today, I spent five minutes scanning through almost all of my clothes like I would be going on date or something. In the end, I decided to wear a black t-shirt with a gray wolf's face in the middle as design and paired it with jeans and white sneakers. For some reason, that gray wolf was like talking to me, asking me to choose that t-shirt.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door. It's must be Gerald Henderson, the fifty-year-old butler and Officer-In-Charge of the Riverwoods Corporation. For generations now, the Hendersons had been the loyal head butler of my family- the Riverwoods.
But Gerald is not an ordinary butler. My parents sent him to study at the finest school. He is one of the best lawyers in the family. He also studied business administration and my father thought him things about the company, so he knows how the Riverwoods Corporation works. And most importantly, he loved me like a son. So, my parents did not hesitate to name him as my legal guardian before they passed away. Currently, Gerald is my guardian, lawyer and is teaching me some of the basics of how my company operates.
"Good morning, Master Brexon! You are up early today," Gerald said after opening the door.
"I don't know, Gerald. It feels like someone had pulled me to stand and take a shower earlier. What's for breakfast?" Brexon asked while he was drying his hair.
Gerald chuckled and said, "Of course, your favorite. Now put on some clothes. Don't get detention again for being late."
I am an only child of Jackson and Brianna Riverwoods. I used to be a good student, but I became a little rebellious, lazy, and a bully after my parents died. I was only seven when they passed away, very young to lose them that Gerald understood such behavior.
"Master Brexon, hurry up! Come down and eat," Gerald repeated.
"Coming!"
I went running down the stairs. I had a quick breakfast that Gerald and I were not able to talk about anything before I go.
When I arrived at the main entrance of the school building, my best friend Garret was already waiting for me.
"Gosh, dude! I thought I was dreaming earlier when you called me. I was shocked that you wanted to come early to school today," Garret said.
"I am also surprised at myself. I don't know why I wanted to come to school this early," Brexon replied.
"Signs of aging, maybe?"
"Shut up! I am not that old yet. You look even older than me."
They laughed at each other and proceed to their respective classrooms in time for the bell to ring.
"Mr. Riverwoods, it's nice to see you are joining this class for today," Mrs. Edwards said sarcastically.
I just rolled my eyes and sat on the usual chair I'd like to sit in. I did not want to argue with Mrs. Edwards because I was tired of her lecture on proper behavior.
"Hey, Brexon, what time are you going to come to my place tonight?" Kiara suddenly whispered.
I frowned and wondered what is tonight.
"You said you would be coming to my place to teach me Science, remember?"
I frowned even more, but Kiara said, "What I mean of Science is..."
'Ah..I got it now. What she meant was having se...'
Before I could answer her, there was a knock on the door. Mrs. Edwards opened the door and said, "Oh, you must be the new student." Then, she turned around and said, "Class, as I informed you last week, we would have a new student today. Now, be nice and welcome, Reagan Lark Summers."
Nobody seemed interested at first, but everyone turned their heads when they saw a tall girl with a lovely figure enter. Reagan was a girl.
'Shit! So beautiful!'
I felt like the world stopped around me. My heart started racing while I was looking at Reagan. She has the bluest eyes I have ever seen. She has mermaid curls and jet black colored hair that perfectly frames her face.
"Now, Ms. Summers, please have a seat on that vacant chair in front of Mr. Riverwoods," Mrs. Edwards said, pointing at the chair.
Great! She would be sitting near me. I would have a chance to talk and flirt with her.
As she was approaching her seat, I could smell her. She smells so good I could not describe it. It's like the smell you got when the wind blew in the forest. It was addicting.
"Hi, I'm Brexon," I whispered when Reagan was finally seated.
"And so? I don't care," Reagan said.
Whoa! What's with this new girl?
"What!?" Reagan added.
"We just met, and you already hate me?" I replied.
"Why do I have to like you?" Reagan said and rolled her eyes.
What the fuck! I like this new girl. It will be fun to play with her. I grinned, thinking of what I could do with her.
'I could hear what you are thinking, asshole!'
'What!? Not only are you beautiful and hot, but you can read minds, too. Geez, you are really something. But is this for real? You can read my mind?'
Reagan did not answer, but I am sure that even she wondered why we could talk to each other through our minds. But I don't care if she practices voodoo or black magic. I just wanted to have her. I wanted to tame her. And one thing about being a Riverwoods is that we don't give up not until we get what we want.
