at the large and old, yet hauntingly beautiful and fancy,

building in front of me.

The Berkshire Academy of Weston.

The private school for the rich and the corrupted. Kids

of infamous judges, senators, government associates, and

some of the highest paid lawyers and doctors in the United

States.

I wasn’t one of them. My father was a high school

teacher. My mother was a nurse. And I was the quiet and

poor girl amongst all the famous, wealthy spawns of the

devils themselves. I didn’t belong here. But I chose to be

here.

48.2% of Berkshire Academy of Weston graduates end

up at an Ivy League College – Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth,

or Harvard.

That little fact was the reason why I chose to enroll in

this school during my junior year. Now, I was a senior at

Berkshire. A few more months, and I’d be out of here.

I took in a deep breath and inhaled the fresh September

air. It wasn’t too cold yet. The fall season had just begun,

and the leaves were just starting to turn red, orange, and

yellow. It was a beautiful time of year – the time where the

trees end up naked, silently awaiting their rebirth once

again. The end of something beautiful, while waiting for a

new beginning.

“Lila!”

My thoughts came to a halt, and I turned to see Riley

coming my way. She waved animatedly, and I couldn’t help

but smile. Riley was a sweet, wild girl, and my only friend

at Berkshire.

Her pretty blonde locks bounced as she hopped over to

me. “Are you late, too?”

I nodded with a sigh. She perked up cheekily. “No way!

Miss Smarty Pants is late? Jesus, I need to write this down.

ASAP.”
