Enemies

You lived in a wealthy family. Your father was an influential man, and your mother was no different: she also ran two businesses and was a successful woman.

At 17, you'd already gotten into trouble many times, which is why your father now punished you harshly and disciplined you. Your parents also had rivals. Ethan, your father, had his arch-nemesis, Bill, and Leila, your mother, had a feud with Bill's wife, Nella. This family had a son, Chris, who was as much of a bastard as they were.

One day, as usual, you were walking around your new school with your only friend, Neil. Chris pestered you in the cafeteria.

"Wow, who do we have here? The new kid at school? It's funny—now we have a victim," Chris said sarcastically, laughing along with his friends.

"Chris, get away from us. Go your own way," Neil replied calmly.

"Listen, nerd, shut up. I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to that mute, apparently," Chris said irritably.

"They told you to fuck off. I take it you've gone deaf? Apparently, all that money has taken away your hearing. Go your own way, you school idiot," you replied venomously to Chris.

“We’ll see who goes where, little ones,” Chris said quietly under his breath.
