A Heart in Black

Sclavenna, a country whose beauty is unmatched. Beautiful women, Crude yet respectable men, Beautiful weather and attractive policies. But why is it feared... It is a country which has a parliament subordinate to the Sclavennian Mafioso Commission. This commission is a Coalition of Mafioso families like Blackhearts, Tomasino's, Johnson's, De Gante's and others. Some common businesses of SMC are illegal gun and dope trade, exchange of stolen merchandise like phones and smaller properties, assassinations of foreign triads, export and import, loaning activities, workshops, etc. These activities are a mix of both legal and illegal, and they have their web of connections around the world.I, Raymond Blackheart was born into the... Well, Blackheart Family. I was given the nickname young hellspawn because of my successive expeditions, which were victorious despite my young age. At the age of 12, I became one of the top 20 members of my own family and entered the SMC, making me the youngest member of the SMC. In the span of 3–4 years, my identity was infamous in the underworld. I was considered a prodigy. Though rarely, I attended the meetings. People spoke to me respectfully, thinking of me as an adult. My physique also helped for that. I was about 6 foot tall, black hair, black eyes and had a good balanced weight. I was an adult in physique despite being 16. Furthermore, I was in fact an introvert. I never spoke to an acquaintance without an intention. I was not only a prodigy in the underworld for my strategies but also for my skills to play piano, in studies, in negotiations, in armed and unarmed combat, etc.I never stepped into a public area such as film theaters, restaurants, school, amusement parks, etc. until I was asked by my father today."You will be going to Rocksworth High, and it's my final decision." said my father, annoyed by my stubbornness of my decision which suggests otherwise."But father..." I try to dispute."No buts. It is my final decision... Because of your involvement with the underworld at such a young age, you were never able to enjoy your life... Me, your mother, your grandparents, your relatives, and cousins all went to school and had a great but normal life. And I don't want you to miss out on this opportunity. Rocksworth High is a great school. Many Mafioso families send their kids to get some experience on how the world runs and all... If not for you at least for our sake please go." said my father grabbing my mother's hands.I felt sorry for my parents worrying about my future and social life... Or not.The school of Rocksworth High is a prestigious university prep school. It has first class facilities, a literal multipurpose sports stadium, professors who were acknowledged around the globe, and much, much more. This school is recognized throughout the world and many world-class talents came from this school. Some pass outs became high ranked politicians, business magnates, actors and actresses, etc. Some even went out and discovered theories accepted widely in fields like quantum computing, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, nuclear, etc.But the problem is the students who go there. Many students who go there are sons and daughters of rich, influential, and famous families. Most students who are of upper middle class families are there to get in the good books of these students in any way. From friendships to love interests. Since love became the most common method for girls to score, they used it blatantly, making the school only for couples or to get a partner. Sometimes, even attempting to find a lifelong spouse.
