Chapter 1 

Solene's pov.

“Oops, I thought that was supposed to be with the trash. “ Becca Flynn giggled as I bent to pick my college essay.

‘Just one semester, one more semester of enduring this savage place, and I'm out of here to my dream college for good.’ I fumed inwardly as that was the best I could do.

“My name's Solene Greasely, and I've lived a horrible life at Brooklyn high school since forever.”

Without another word, I walked away to the home room teacher's office.

“I know you want it to miss Perkins.” A familiar slutty voice drawled from behind Miss Perkins' door.

I halted on my tracks, the door opened a crack and I could make out the images through it.

Miss Perkins leaned in, her blouse open at tip revealing the upper parts of her breasts.

“You are crossing the line here.” Miss Perkins tried to sound serious, but a chuckle escaped her lips as the guy with her traced a finger on her breasts.

My heart thumped against my chest, I should turn back, stop watching, but I can't.

My feet are glued to the ground, curiosity got the better of me, I leaned into the door, on a closer look.

I saw his back, tall and broad at the shoulders, wearing the school jacket.

His dark hair covered a side of his face as he pressed his lips into Miss Perkins, squeezing one of her breasts.

“Shit.” I gasped as the book I held and the portfolio for my college essay dropped to the ground.

They definitely heard that as they jerked apart and Miss Perkins tried to fix her blouse.

I quickly picked the books and made a dash for it down the hallway where I came from.

I entered an empty class to catch my breath.

It didn't last long as I was yanked vigorously by the arm and slammed into a wall.

“What did you see?” He breathed hotly on my face.

I winced as his fingers dug into my arms.

Of course it was him, Noah Campbell, the most reputable flirt in Brooklyn high school, and my life's tormentor.

“Let go of me!” I yelped as his fingers drew blood from my flesh.

“Not until you answer me first.” 

I tried to wrestle out of his grasp but his grip was just too powerful for my fragile bones.

“So what?” I dared to glare at him.

“Making out with Miss Perkins so that she can help you out in your college essay, that's a low one, even for you, Noah Campbell.” I spat.

He relaxed his hold from me, not enough to make an escape though.

A naughty smirk curved up his sexy pink lips.

“No one, I repeat, no one must hear of what you saw, or I'll make sure that you never make it into any college in this country.”

I swallowed, knowing how good he can make that threat, his father was one of the top billionaires of the country after all and called the shots in Brooklyn high.

“I, I, won't tell anybody, I swear.” I panicked, my eyes widening.

He let go of me and I didn't wait a second before bolting.

This was my lot in Brooklyn high, I'm a scholastic freak who the hottest guy and hockey captain of Brooklyn high derives joy from bullying.

‘one more semester.’ I breathed as I got outside the school.

‘Then I'm out of this hell hole for good.’

Things looked surprisingly calm when I got home, I expected the usual curses flying around when I got in.

Mom was in a cheery state as she folded her clothes.

“What's happening?” I brought myself to ask, her excitement was just infectious I couldn't ignore.

Mom's face lost color and I regretted asking.

“Stupid child, I don't want you jinxing my life.” She snapped then sighed.

“Since I have no choice but to drag your sorry ass along, it might interest you to know that I just got married and we are moving out now.” She fell back to her happy mood.

“What?, who and where?” I asked.

“Don't ask silly questions, this is the first good thing that has happened to me since your ungrateful father ran with all my money.” She dropped the clothes she was packing.

Stormed over to where I stood and poked a finger to my chest.

“You better not ruin this good thing I have going on, else, I'll make sure you breathe your last breath.”

I nod in obedience, she hates me, and it's understandable.

Dad stole all her money and left, we later learned that he died while trying to move somewhere else again.

I packed the few things that were important to me, I don't want her shouting and cursing for causing a delay.

There wasn't much to pack, mom insisted that we wouldn't be needing the old stuff.

The car stopped in front of her employer's mansion, where she works as a maid, she probably wants to tell him about her new marriage and she won't be working for him anymore.

“Come out and stop being sloppy.” She snapped.

I came out as well, and we entered the mansion together.

Mom doesn't like when I come to her workplace, she always calls me a jinx that ruins her life plans.

Her employer, Alfred Campbell, came down the stairs, looking like a billboard model.

“Welcome, Victoria.” He beamed at mom, and kissed her on the lips.

Hold up a minute, did Alfred Campbell the renowned billionaire just kiss my mom?, I must be seeing things.

He took a step from her as if just noticing my presence in the house.

“Ahhh, Solene, so lovely, welcome to your new home.”

‘new home?’ I nearly spat.

What in the world is going on?.

“My son should be down in a minute, he just got back from school, you should know him.” Alfred smiled sweetly at me.

I looked up at the person approaching, my jaws dropped in confusion.

Alfred gestured.

“Noah, meet your new mom and sister.”
