Footprints

Strange things usually happen uncommonly. Once can be a fling, the second a coincidence, the third...not so much. But for all of it to happen to a group of kids? That is very suspicious indeed. (I am an amateur writer and English is my second language. So, I am very sorry if you encounter any errors in my novel...Happy reading)

Prologue - Part 2

But even if Billy was the most attractive guy in their school, the one who caught most of their attention was Hadrian White, the most exotic person in their school, with his coffee skin, blue eyes with specks of green like that of the clear ocean and blonde long hair that reaches just below his shoulders. He's got the looks, the smarts, and most of all - girls' favorite - money. Hadrian's the heir to one of the most powerful oil company in the world. His mother was an Indian princess of one of the secluded tribes in the country, but no matter how small their community was, coins continue to flow in their vaults. For their ancestors were once miners who left poverty and getting married to rich people. While his father, who traveled the world and at the time owned a middle-class oil company, bought his mother to get their connections and their money. You may be wondering, how did his father buy his mother from a tribe that is richer than him? That's a story for another time.

Money can't buy love, but it did give them an heir. And for that, their once 'doesn't-feel-anything-for-you' attitude became 'understanding' to 'friends'.

Of course, Billy wouldn't be able to be friends with rich kids with just his quarterback star fame. Billy's father was a well-known detective of the century, most of his cases involved 'rich and powerful people'.

Speaking of rich kids, two kids are currently sneakering and exchanging glances to each other with a knowing look, Taylor and Tarot Price. The twins, with their curly red hair, pale face, kissable lips, freckles and blue grey eyes, made people swoon and their heart beat faster as if they had just run a marathon. Their family has been in the entertainment industry the first time animation came out. There were rumors that even before that, they were explorers and merchants, that finally settled in America to start anew and leave their stained past behind.

"Whose fault is it that he's being an ass?" Taylor asks innocently while looking at her brother, Tarot.

"Maybe because he got his ass kicked by someone...?" Tarot drawled back playfully.

"And who is that someone, dear brother?" This time, Taylor asks more excitedly with mirth in her eyes.

"I don't know, his ex, for example?" Tarot suggest in a louder voice.

Taylor and Tarot we're known for their playfulness and their devilish ways of getting under people's skin. Being in the entertainment industry has helped them in knowing the real intentions behind the smiles of the people they had encountered. And has also helped them in the long run of not getting caught and framing other people. It wasn't uncommon on seeing them preying the quarterback star.

"Shut up you devil's spawns!" Billy shouts out to them angrily.

"Ohhh....looks like the big bad wolf is angry, better go hide in your beds kids" Ted says while holding a can of beer in his hands. He has a brunette curly hair, dark brown eyes, straight nose and an aristocratic face.

"You know what they say, you better run fast because you don't want him to bite you, if you dont, well you know what would happen.Don't you?". He continues with hidden intentions laced in his voice, clearly directing to another person.

"Teddy, dear, just because you preach for peace and honesty doesn't mean your always accurate and give honest truth. So if you so much as say another word of what you're thinking, then you better get ready next to get your ass kicked just like Billy boy over here." The aforementioned person calmly says with each word emphasized and clearly showing her British accent while wearing a smile on her face, but her eyes says otherwise.

"OMG! I'm like so scared." Ted says back with fake fear.

"You better be." The girl scoffed at him and rolled her eyes. Prima Holssen, graduated at 14 years old with 3 degrees; computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Although a genius of their generation, Prima was forced by her mother to go back to high school as an excuse for her lack of social skills. With her Raven hair, black eyes, red lips and short height made her their little snow white in the group.
