Learn The Rules

Prologue: The Rules

Alright. Let's get one thing straight. I'm not a nice person. I'm a bitch and I'm proud. If you knew what happened at my last high school, you'd know just what a terrible person I really am.

I'm the type of girl who will do anything to get what she wants. I will stop at nothing to achieve my goals. My new goal is to take over this stupid town. Blackwood is going to be mine.

************************************
I wake up to the sound of Mozart. It is a grand way to start the morning. I look in the mirror and smile. Today is the day I give my impression on the student body of Blackwood High. I know I have to look absolutely flawless today.

"Monica, are you up?" Cecilia yells up the stairs.

"Of course Cece."

"Monica, I'm your mother, not your gal pal. Call me mom, and you better get moving if you don't want to be late to your first day at Blackwood High."

I get dressed and curl my long red hair. I put on some mascara, eyeliner, and light lip gloss and boom, flawless.

I go down the stairs and see Cece eating breakfast.

"Wow, you look beautiful honey. You're ready to face the people of Blackwood!

"Ugh, what kind of name is Blackwood anyway? It sounds like a town that would be in a scary movie."

"The mayor renamed it after the news labeled the town 'drug infested'."

"So he named it after himself?" I scoff, "What an egomaniac."

"Don't talk like that about my boss" my mother warns.

"Why? Could he be listening?" I say with a look of mock horror.

"Don't be silly dear, now hurry on to school and kill it!"

"Oh, I'm planning to mother."

"Thank you for not calling me that ridiculous nickname."

I walk out the door and get into my gold Lamborghini. I plan to make an impression at this school. And that impression will be the I am the Queen Bee and no one will stand in my way.

I get to the horrid school and it's less inviting than a cemetery. Not because it looks like one, but because I just don't want to be here. The school itself is actually nice and decent looking.

I walk into the front door of the big building and try to make my way to the counseling office, except I don't know where it is. I look around the white cement halls of the school, but I don't see it.

"Are you lost?" says a girl.

Her hair is black and her eyes are a dazzling blue. I might make her one of my minons. A beautiful queen needs attractive minons.

"Yes actually, I am. Do you happen to know where the counseling office is?" I ask her.

"Oh yeah, it's right near the pool, that way" she says while her index finger points in the direction I should be going, "I'll take you."

"Thanks, what's your name by the way?" I ask while I walk along side her.

"Fiona. Fiona Blackwood."

"Blackwood? As in the daughter of the mayor who basically owns this town?"

"Exactly" she says with a smirk.

"Are you popular here?" I ask, trying to scope out the queen bee competition.

"Popular? Oh honey, I'm the It girl. Girls want to be me, guys want to date me, and even teachers want to screw me."

"Wow, you have quite the power" I say, pretty jealous of the fact that I have lost mine.

"Yes, and you'd make a lovely addition to my group."

"Group of what?"

"Minions of course"

"Ahh, I see" I smile at her.

I can see Fiona will be tough to beat, but im not backing down. I am attempting to be nice. I can't let her know I'm trying to overthrow her.

"You just have to play by my rules" Fiona said.

"Your rules?"

"Yes. I made them so the monarchy of this school doesn't get out of control."

"Has anyone ever broken them?" I ask curiously.

"One girl tried to, but I made sure she was put in her place" Fiona says with a mischievous spark in her eye.

I already respect her. She is like me, but I feel as if I am more experienced in the queen department. This school need a better ruler than her and that's me.

"So what are these rules?"

"I'll teach you one rule each day. We start tomorrow."

"How many rules are there?"

"Ten. It's like a ten commandments of sorts."

"Okay. I'll be ready."

"You better be. Wear something blue tomorrow. All my minons wear the same color."

I nod and she walks away with a hair flip. What a classic queen. I have to admit, I'm not thrilled about being her minion, but I have to start from the bottom to make it to the top.
