Hailey's POV:

Someone nudges my shoulder, "Hailey...Wake up. We're here."

I wipe the drool from the side of my lips. "We are?" I yawned and stretched my body. I smile, "I can't believe Mr.Greyson allows us to use the private jet."

Even though Josh is wealthy, his parents don't allow him or any of his siblings to use any of their items without parental consent.

Josh threw his arms in the air and stretched his body. My eyes averted when his shirt lifted, slightly showcasing his tone body. "Well...mom does want us to be safe on our flight."

He grabs my hand and leads us out of the plane. We walk down the stairs, and I inhale a deep breath, feeling the breeze brushing through my hair. A black car pulls around the corner with a man opening it for us. "I can get used to this," I exhale in satisfaction.

He smiles, "Get used to it then."

Josh yawned and made himself comfortable on my thighs as he closed his eyes. "Now, I can get used to this." He grins while I play with the locks of his hair.

"So, what's the plan?" I ask.

"Well... let's see." He crosses one leg above the other and tucks his arms behind his head. "I graduate in two years as valedictorian and the most handsome guy at Pandora Academy. You graduate two years after that as the prettiest girl because we both know you won't be valedictorian."

I nod along.

"Then, I go to whatever elite college." He rolls his eyes, "And you will go with me. Together, we will rule college!"

I burst out laughing when he did an evil laugh. I point a finger in the air, "The state!"

"Country!"

"World!"

Josh sat up, running his fingers through his messy hair as his eyes shone mischievously.

"Next! The universe!" we screamed simultaneously.

Slowly, our laughter dies down, and he flops back down and hums the melodies of a song while I play with the tip of his hair.

"You know that can't happen," I said.

"And why not?"

"Because no elite college will accept me. I'm not that smart if you haven't noticed."

Josh gasps, placing a hand on his chest. "No!" Sarcasm.

I flick his forehead causing his face to grimace. "I'm serious," I pout. "I know I only got accepted into Pandora Academy because of your family recommendation."

"And what makes you think that?"

"Josh, the woman who looked me up gasp when she saw me - Oh! You're Hailey Vaughn!" I mimic the woman's voice while planting both fists on my waist.

Josh chuckles, "That says nothing."

"They put me in a room with five people to interview me instead of taking me to the testing room."
