[color=gray][indent][indent]The foundations of Crown Heights might have been set in place for years, but to Kai Parata, someone who had been used to totally different customs, was a stranger in this strange, albeit elaborate, land. What he knew and what he had been used to was pulled out of his life like an infected tooth. And like cavities, this foreigner — both in figurative and literal senses — was tossed into the deep waters of Crown Heights without so much as a life jacket.

Good thing Kai knows how to swim.

The God's honest truth of Kai's three-months of living in Palm Beach, Florida was a culture shock for not only him, his neighbors also found out that the Parata Family wasn't one that knew of America's customs. Compared to their native country of Australia and home turf of Sydney, Palm Beach was nothing like it. There were a different terrain and rules of the way to socialize, the way to greet each other was different. Everything about this specific part of the United States of America was totally out of Kai's comfort zone. 

The only thing that was even remotely familiar to Kai was the beach. The upside of living in a town with the word 'beach' in its name was, in fact, the beach itself. That was the one place that Kai had felt at home and, much like his native Australia, he had frequented the closest beach to Crown Heights. 

From the moment his parents had moved the family into the neighborhood until the last week of 'Summer', which to Kai was the time for winter, was spent at the beach. He did everything from catching the waves and being one with the water to chilling on the shore. Since his parents weren't consistent on when exactly they'd be home, Kai wasn’t about to waste the precious daylight inside an empty house. His older sister Kiki lived in Miami. She often visited, but given she had a rather active social life, Kai seldom saw her. It sucked, but that was the reality of the situation. This was why he tried to go out as much as he could. 

And, as the day came for him to start his new school year at a new school, all of his friends were long ways away in Sydney, Kai had been fortunate to befriend some of the posh kids in his neighborhood. It had been arranged by him, his parents, and the person themselves, to be his guide to the arrogantly-named, King’s Academy. Seriously, what sort arrogant cunt thought it was a good idea to encourage such delusions of grandeur like naming their school after a king? When Kai first heard about that, his first thought was to be homeschooled, but that wouldn’t work because he hated being at home when he wasn’t set to learn some useless information. Just imagine how high the boredom would be if he had to learn [i]while[/i] at home.

When Kai had arrived at King’s Academy via the transportation of the blue jeep his parents graciously bought him, he parked in student parking. He was told to go to the office to wait for - and the direct quote was - “a very polite and well-mannered student who offered to give you a tour of the school and its facilities”. Kai had zero ideas what that actually meant, but it sure beat trying to navigate this castle of a campus. [color=lightseagreen]“Good to know duxes exist here as well,”[/color] Kai noted to the office lady. He didn’t know what they were called here, so he refrained from venturing a guess.

So he simply waited for his guide. Nothing was really given other than that brief description of them.

[color=lightseagreen]“Guess it’s waiting until the tide arrives. Fucking great…”[/color][/indent][/indent][/color]

Feel it comin' in the air, hear the screams from everywhere.
I’m addicted to the thrill, it's a dangerous love affair.
Can’t be scared when it goes down. Got a problem, tell me now.
Only thing that's on my mind Is who's gon' run this town tonight
Is who's gon' run this town tonight
We gon' run this town![/url]

[color=gray][indent][indent]Today, much like all days, must be approached with the utmost care. As someone who, in her own mind, but as well in the high opinion of a lot of people who were currently starting to get ready for their senior year, a queen must take great pride in the way she presents herself. People judge with their eyes before they even open up their mouths. So one must look flawless like a diamond in the sky. If you aren’t absolutely perfect from every hair strand being perfectly brushed so none is left out when you pull it back to a single ponytail to picking the best outfit you have in your closet, you might as well stay in bed and sulk about how your reputation sank to the bottom of the ocean before it even had a chance to plant its roots.

Thankfully for Savanna Hart, she always knew what to do in case of an emergency. Today, however, was not one of those days. Savanna had her outfit picked out a week ago and knew exactly what time she had to get up and just how many minutes she had to get ready, eat enough food to satisfy her unique tastes, and have enough time to carpool with Stella and Sonia. She knew everything and wouldn’t dare ruin her schedule because she didn’t plan for [u]everything[/u].

When she pulled her hair back into a single ponytail, as to emulate Sonia and Stella, she had her school uniform out dry cleaned, ironed, and hung up ready for her to put on. And, as always, she wore it to the level of perfection she not only held herself to but also those who were within her ‘clique’. 

Before her fellow Tri-Harts would meet her at her house, Sav enjoyed a small, yet reasonably loaded, breakfast with her moms. [color=e62020]“Today is the first day of your final year, isn’t it?”[/color] Jade asked her daughter.

[color=violet]“It is, yes,”[/color] Sav answered regally, keeping her answers short as she ate.

[color=hotpink]“It’s a big year. All of the scouts from Hollywood will be focusing on King’s Academy for their program to choose one upcoming pop group to feature in X-Factor, won’t they?”[/color] Adielle asked, obviously knowing her facts of life.

[color=violet]“And we will get that slot.”[/color]

[color=hotpink]“I’m sure you will, sweetie, but remember to not go overboard.”[/color]

[color=violet]“At all costs, we will win.”[/color] 

Sometimes even her own parents needed a reminder that her ambitions far-exceeded the limited scopes those in Crown Heights and Palm Beach had. It didn’t matter what it took, Tri-Hart [i]will[/i] become the next Fifth Harmony.

After ten or so minutes had passed, the Head of Staff, Niles Huntingsworth, approached the dining table. “My apologies for interrupting your breakfast, Miss Savanna, but Miss Sabrina and Miss Stella are waiting in the foyer for you.”

[color=violet]“Thank you, Niles.”[/color] She greeted him with a smile. Wiping her mouth gently with her elegant cloth, she would soon get up and give both of her moms’ a hug and kiss. 

[color=e62020]“Have a good day, sweetie!”[/color] Jade yelled out.

When Sav had shown her face in the foyer, Stella was the first one to speak. [color=b882ee]“Sav!!! Gurl, you look fab-u-lous!”[/color] 

[color=violet]“I know,”[/color] she not-so-modestly said, somewhat posing for Stella, the ‘wild one’ of the group.

[color=cd3c3c]“Rae-Rae, let’s show who really runs this school,”[/color] Sabrina stated, flipping her hair as the three ladies had walked side by side out of Sav’s house. 

Before long, Sav had joined her two best friends had gotten into Sav’s Mercedes Benz Convertible. The engine purred throughout the gated community of Crown Heights, speeding out at full blast with the song “Run This Town” by Jay-Z playing at full volume.  In minutes, they reached the highway and with Savanna behind the wheel, it was almost as if Vin Diesel himself was driving. It was obvious she knew her way behind the wheel of a car.

Once she was done being a bit of a daredevil on the road, the trio of hot girls managed to get to King’s Academy all in one piece. When they parked, Sav noticed a blue jeep about a few slots away. It wasn’t a vehicle that she recognized. She planned on making sure she found out who that jeep belonged to. But she would move her focus to more important things.

[color=violet]“This is the year, girls. This is when we remind everyone who we are.”[/color]

[color=b882ee]“Yass queen! Slayyy!”[/color] Stella, as per-usual her stereotype, hyped up only to Sav.

[color=violet]“And if they don’t, we’ll crush them in the only way we know how.”[/color]

[color=cd3c3c]“By reducing them to nobodies,”[/color] Sabrina stated rather bluntly.

Smirking, Savanna signaled her two besties. With Sav in the middle, Sonia to her left, and Stella on her right, they entered the halls of King’s Academy. It was, as they say, a dynamic entrance. And it would be the first of many.

Get ready, King’s Academy. The Queen has arrived.[/indent][/indent][/color]
