Chapter Twenty-Six

The hallways of my high school are a clean shade of white, with clean cut students, with clean rap sheets, who are dirty under their clothes and in the dark stairwells that don’t have cameras.

Pacific Saint High is a private boarding school for the best and the brightest located in Santa Monica, California – and when I say best and brightest, I mean our parents. The ones that throw money at something to make it go away. That’s what the parents of Pacific’s student body do. They throw money at their unwanted spawns and we run wild with it.

Forced to live in dorms that rival the poshest apartments money can buy, with dining halls that serve filet mignon and fresh caught lobster every day. Mercedes’ and Tesla’s crowd the covered parking area outside the school, and teachers turn their heads when parties are thrown on the grounds.

The culture of our Southern California high school is pretty typical, population wise. Hot jocks mingle with each other and their cheerleading groupies; There’s the math team that wears hoodies in the summer and sticks to the front seats of every class; The dance team, who pretend they’re as important as the cheerleading squad, because they get to perform with the band and orchestra kids on football nights.

Then the student council, who are the politicians in the making; The surfers, always wearing board shorts and sneaking out to their cars to hit their bowls and chew down edibles; The goths, or emo’s as they like to be called now, who wear too much eyeliner and August Burns Red patches on the Gucci backpacks that their housekeepers picked up for them before the semester.

Then there’s me. Cliqueless.

Rich girl, annoyed with everything, sticks to herself, stays out of the spotlight. Shoved into a new state – which is like a whole different planet than what I’m used to back home.

I don’t do extracurriculars, my parents don’t visit for holidays, I don’t merge with any one clique. I just vibe.

This isn’t my home, I won’t put down roots somewhere that’s only going to be occupying the short four years of my life. I spend my nights facetiming my best friend back home, when I’m not out exploring the beaches and places the student body would never be caught dead in.

I’ve tried to find my peace here, a temporary peace to get me through this chapter we call high school – until I’m on the first plane home after graduation.

I’ve met some friends, no one that will be permanent in my existence, just placeholders to keep me occupied and entertained while I’m forced to be here.

Camilla – who’s an outcast. She’s a bomb waiting to be dropped. Once she gets the attention from the football team she’s been chasing for two years, she’ll brush me aside and forget about me.

Marc Anthony (yes, that’s his real ass name) – he’s on the student council. We have dinner together in the hall 4 nights a week. He’s gayer than gay and keeps me up to date on all the drama in this prison.
