"Wilhelm College of Criminology?"
"No"
"Falcon University of Criminal Studies and other related courses?"
"Absolutely not"
"University of Los Angeles?"
"Nope"
"Drop out of school and become useless low lives?"
"That is the best idea you have given me so far", seventeen year old Camdynn
Fernandez said to her birthday sharing brother Cameron who was currently
going through the list of universities that had offered them scholarships.
Cameron face palmed at his sisters remarks. She was currently on his bed while
he was on the floor beside the bed. He turned back to see her watching a movie
on her phone.
"Are you even listening?"
Camdynn looked at her brother with a blank face "Yes I am, it's just that I'm
not so keen on going to college we're just seventeen, can't we just take a gap
year?"
"I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear that" Cameron turned back to his laptop
screen.
"Why not?" Camdynn whined
"Because you know you actually don't want a gap year. You just think that no
university will meet your standards. If we actually – no wait – if you would
complain all year and guess who would be forced to listen to them all? ME!"
Camdynn sighed and turned on the bed so her eyes were fixed on the ceiling
"You're right" she muttered then she sat up and picked up a notepad
"So what do we have so far?" Cameron asked
Camdynn tapped the felt tipped pen against her chin and bit her lip in deep thought
University of East Coast and North Star University"
The sound of keyboard taps filled the room for a few seconds and Cameron
grimaced visibly.
"What's wrong?"
"They're offering us criminology as a side course"
Camdynn eyed him suspiciously "And...…."
"They do not offer either photonics or mechatronics"
"NEXT!!!!" Camdynn yelled and cancelled out the name with a red pen "What
about North Star?"
"Well for starters mom went there" Cameron said
"That's a huge con already", she flung the notepad. She was about to say
something, when the door opened and their mother walked in
"Hi Mom" the two of them greeted
Their mother, Isabelle Fernandez, dragged the chair from Cameron's table and
sat down, leaning into it, "Hi you guys"
Isabelle was a tall good, looking woman who looked younger than her actual
age. The forty year old woman looked like someone who had not even reached
thirty five. She and the twins shared no similarities as the both of them looked
like their father. They both had golden brown hair and forest green eyes while
their mother had raven black hair and clear blue eyes.
"How did the case go?" Cameron asked
Isabelle looked at her son with a blank expression "Well what do you expect, of
course we won!" she shot
Isabelle owned the best and biggest law firms in the states, and not to mention
the, and not to mention the most successful. The Tyranni law firm was the
hardest to beat and she was so proud of her brain child. Although owning the
law firm made her a very strong target to assassination, her family also was
targeted often. So she made it her mission in life to ensure her twins learned all
manner of self defense. She had received, since her father was in the military.
The training intensified after her husband was brutally killed.
"So how many millions are we talking?" Camdynn asked
Isabelle sat up in thought "The family sued the state about six million. So I'm
thinking about a three point five or so" she leaned forward "So any luck finding
a good college?"
The annoyed look she got answered her questions "So I'm guessing that is a no,
but what do you expect you chose the hardest course known to mankind" she
referred to her daughter
"It is not the hardest" she shot "It is just very rare course, but so is
mechatronics"
"So what are your criteria?"
"We are going to the same college" Cameron begun
"It must allow us to offer criminology as a side course" Camdynn continued
"Are you still going up for criminology?" Isabelle asked
"Yes", the two of them replied.
Not wanting to dwell on the topic she urged them to continue "What else?"
"Miles away"
"You cannot escape me even if you two went to another planet"
The two of them laughed at the remark as Camdynn continued "It has to have
good food"
"No curfews"
"Comfortable dorms"
Isabelle tilted her head "Have you considered North Star"
"Another criterion, one that does not have you as an alumnus"
"There is no problem, going to the same school your mother went to" Isabelle
shot
"Oh there is, when the professors begin to compare you to your parents, putting
all the pressure on you just so you will reach your parents achievements"
Cameron replied coolly
"Don't flatter me I haven't achieved that much" Isabelle said
The twins gave their mother a blank look before Cameron spoke up once more
"It's not just you, apparently" he read from his laptop "Statistics show that North Star has birthed over twenty five of the world's population of multi
millionaires you included"
"My mates weren't that successful"
Cameron did not answer rather, fixed his eyes back to his laptop and resumed
his typing.
"We are drifting from the matter at hand you know that right?"
"It doesn't matter we'll get back to it once we....." Camdynn was interrupted
by her brother's sudden yelling
"What the fuck...." Cameron swore loudly only. Isabelle threw her hell at
him in retaliation
"Oww" he groaned
"Why did you yell?" Camdynn asked leaning forward in her seat
"Mom's classmates" Cameron replied, the pain from the impact of the heel
suddenly vanishing
"What about them?" Camdynn asked before her eyes went as wide as saucers
when she saw the laptop screen.
"RICCARDO GRIFFIN FERRARI WAS IN YOUR CLASS?" Camdynn asked
"We were not in the same class" Isabelle scoffed
"YOU WENT TO THE SAME COLLEGE?!" Cameron followed his sister's
tone
"Yeah so, what's the big deal there?"
The twins exchanged shocked looks with each other and looked at their mother
with confusion.
"He's practically the richest man alive!" Camdynn began "A technological
genius at that and a photonics master. He owns the entire of Zeta Industries"
"Not to mention his wife Danielle has made so many scientific breakthroughs in
the medical field. She topped you last year in the list of most successful
women."
Isabelle smiled softly, "Yeah she always had potential back in college."
"You know her too?!"
Their mother nodded clearly amused at her children's reactions "Yeah" she
smiled getting ready to shock them once more "It's was always Riccardo,
Danielle, Byron, Leo, Vernian and I."
"Hold up, Leo as in Leo Cole owner of Coleman airlines, and Byron Rhett a
senator?" Camdynn asked shock emitting from her body.
"Yes" Their mother responded simply. Cameron was about to say something
was interrupted by a beep sound from his laptop. Not more than seconds later
Camdynn received an email.
"Did the two of you get invited to a party or something?" Their mother asked
"No" Cameron responded his green eyes still fixed on the laptop "It's an
admission letter" he looked at Camdynn asking without words if she had gotten
the same.
"Huston College" she said with a smile 'And they offer both Photonics and
Mechatronics"
"You know, Huston always competed with North Star for the number one spot
on the chart"
'Research Huston College now!" Camdynn shot to her brother who was already
furiously typing at his laptop. When the school website popped up on the screen
and they took a good look at it Camdynn smiled
"I guess I am looking forward to college now.
