The Billionaire Darkness

Chapter One Hundred Twenty One

Olivia Thorne

Today was technically the first day of me being able to do schooling for Thornbrook but I was still in the transfer stage so I was unable to actually be on the school's premises. This was mostly because of the long list of checks and things I'd been warned would happen but that usually within a month they were dealt with since Scholarships weren't actually prioritized compared to the other students that would be new to the school.

More proof having a scholarship would be a curse.

My mom was thrilled about it though and I knew it so despite the feelings I had towards the idea of going to the most prestigious school in the nation I was fine with it because it meant less financial stress on my mother.

Thornbrook could provide me different possibilities and I knew that, I was just nervous for what it would give me.

I'd also signed up for the online classes so that I could at least get some of the work done until my classes were approved and I was allowed to go to the school itself to attend actual classes in the assigned halls and rooms of the school.

Sitting in my room I sat looking over the Pre-Calc syllabus, along with Chemistry, Gym, and English. I'd started on the work and I ended up getting the first week done, already, my whole goal was to simply focus on a class per day to get a week's work done for each class, then once I'd put in the typical six hours I'd stop and whatever was left I would do later. At least that was the plan. I'd been sitting in my room since eight thirty this morning and it was two. I'd gotten through most of my Pre-Calc with relative ease, I was now looking at Chemistry videos to attempt to wrap my head around the topics since they had gotten more complicated since Science 10 only covered so much around the topic.

I'd also decided that once I was done reading I'd clean for a bit since there wasn't actually anything else to do besides that in the house.

When I finished reading the bit that was similar to physics which I wouldn't deny I wasn't that great at but could do, I shut off my laptop and slid it to the side of the seat before walking to the door to get out and head down to the living room and kitchen to start cleaning.

Both my mom and I were really tidy so there wasn't often much but there was still things that should be done like the vacuuming which was where I started, I also put in music to make the time pass a little bit faster by listening.

As I finished vacuuming which honestly wasn't that hard because of the size of the house me and my mom lived in. I then moved to the kitchen and began to clear up the mess from the previous night since we'd made spaghetti and that as usual meant all of the stuff we put in the sauce was home done since that was how we preferred it over the store bought jars.

Separating the stuff that had to be hand washed versus could go in the dishwasher I loaded that first before using the fact that the water was always hotter when the dishwasher was on to clean both pots and the strainer.

I hated trying to get starch off of it so I often got it as clean as I could before soaking it in boiling water to melt the starch off.

When I was finally done I dried everything off and put it away before looking around for more to do but there was none.

Suppose I could go to the river.

Deciding that would do for now I slipped on shoes and quickly checked the weather only to find it was sixty-five degrees outside.

I then glanced down at what I was wearing which consisted of black leggings and a brown tan hoodie.

Slipping on a pair of white Nike's I walked out of the house locking the door behind me before walking off along the sidewalk with my hands in my hoodie pocket.

I'd stopped key clutching on these walks when I finally knew how to protect myself I also had a feeling a lot of those same people knew better since in the fall of whatever gang Demetri was a part of happened no one seedy was really around for whatever reason that was I felt more comfortable walking around.

Getting to the highway I spotted a black Vanquish S Volante with the top down revealling a dark haired boy in the driver seat his hand covering the one side of his face while staring off at the road.

I had a feeling this was the same Leo I'd met the other day while working but I couldn't be sure, and his vehicle choice perfectly reflected him. The elegant sleek black sports car glistened under the sun and I couldn't help but imagine what it must be like, especially when I'd seen him in several other black vehicles to own so many.

Would make sense the drivers all sat the same.

This boy made me think of money but the way he sat and didn't act obnoxious made me think he viewed it as a car like everyone else.

The light then changed and I was allowed to cross the sidewalk in front of the car only to see him glance up at me through his sunglasses and if I didn't know any better he was following my progress across the road, a small smile playing at his lips.

It felt sort of weird that someone I'd only interacted with recently had been on my route home every day for the past year. He'd never noticed me not until now, but even the expression he wore wasn't one of recognition it was sort of just passive attention as if he was making sure I wouldn't scratch his car.

I'd be in debt for life if that was the case.

When I got halfway I stopped looking at the car, and began paying attention to where I was going as I made my way off towards the rivers edge where I could see Thornbrook.

If I had to make a guess he likely went to Thornbrook and seeing him would probably be odd but I didn't really know or care to find out school was my focus not boys.

Getting to the riverside walkway I began to make my way along it noticing the others who set up blankets or simply sat under trees which allowed rays of light to pass through the pale green foliage or else blocked by birds that sat on the branches to enjoy the shade while the sun shone down on everything, and everyone around me.

Eventually I got to the bench and sat down with my legs pulled up to my chest while staring off at the school across the Hudson River I could hear the distant engines leaving the school and I couldn't even imagine the ego fest that must follow each day.

Maybe I'll get to at least have a show at the school that I will never fit in at.

I also wanted to avoid all of the guys there. I may have gotten over Demetri but I certainly didn't blindly trust boys after that and viewed them with an air of caution. It's not that I wouldn't trust them, I just wanted to be cautious, to be safe and if I stayed away as best I could, and remained out of Thornbrook's student body spotlight; I'd never have to worry about a single thing.

The only problem was how I planned on doing that for two years. That was a separate issue all together, and I'd just have to make sure it stayed like that daily.
     
    
A fun end to this chapter but it's sad for me that I won't be writing from her point of view anymore in a few more days. But Olivia and Adrian show up in The Devils Series I promise along with everyone else in the group, comment, vote, and share. Anyways

Peace✌
