Miami Florida Is certainly a diverse city. From the poor to the rich parts of town everything could be going on. I want to tell you story of two boys from different economic groups. Who end up at the same school by fate.

Roman Prince and Virgil Hallow.

Romans POV

Greetings~ My name is Roman Alexander Prince. I've come from a long line of rich, talented, beautiful and creative people.

Dating all the way back to the 600s my ancestor John Marriwhether the first was the king of France and his bride was a princess from Britain named Angelica Lockhart. From that my family was nothing but royalty. But soon we discovered we were much more than royal. We were creative and smart individuals! We became artists, actors, and inventors. We were loved and treated with respect. I believe that poverty doesn't run in the family.

Then when it started to get into more modern times we were everything from presidents and governors to movie writers and book authors.

Now things couldn't be better. I live in a mansion that tend to my every wim. I've been a very famous child actor who has appeared on Disney channel, movies and commercials from time to time. My parents are happily married— well besides the... bickering.. from time to time..

Anyway! My father is one of the best lawyers in the country who goes on business trips a lot and works quite a bit but when he has time we play football or baseball and it's made me quite a player.

But my real passion is preforming~!

My mother is a multi bladed sword. She is so talented! She's a model, actor, and singer! She taught me that it's ok to have a feminine side of me. Even if I can't show it to my peers.

.

"Young Master?" A knock was heard on my bedroom door.

"Come in" I said standing up from my desk.

In came my butler, Sebastian "my apologies for disrupting you young sir but I came to tell you that your acceptance letter came! You got into Florida Arts, Congratulations sir!" Sebastian spoke in his crisp British accent with a smile.

"Thank you Sebastian" I said nodding my head. He nodded as well and walked off. I sighed happily and walked over to my large walk in closet to pick the perfect outfit to make an entrance. I set aside a crimson dress coat, black Gucci t-shirt, black skinny jeans, black and gold Nike's, and diamond earrings.

Of courses for my school supplies I have;

my maroon Gucci backpack

In my pencil case;

mechanical pencils because wooden ones are for peasants

My Louis Vuitton pencil (it's actually a thing)

white out

Gel pens

Erasable pens

Fountain pen

Hand sanitizer which doubles as bitch repellent

Stainless steel ruler that I can cut a bitch with

Mini stapler

Every color of the rainbow highlighters

Tape

Scissors for cutting paper and my enemies.

Hole punch

Protractor

Eraser

Sharpies

Sticky notes

Gum

Money

In my bag;

my hydro flask (Roman is a vsco girl #confirmed)

my (fucking 6,000$) laptop

Planner

Calendar

Dictionary

Thesaurus

In my binder ;

Notebooks

Folders

And some high tech nerd calculator

I zip it all up and put it with my outfit. Finally I crash on my bed and look at my phone. I use my Face ID because I have the IPhone 11 Pro and look at my social media.

I'm trending on TikTok

I got 100,000 likes on my beach post on Instagram

I send a snap to my friends asking if their ready for school.

Logan responded with picture of him in a white dress shirt, dark blue tie, gray sweater vest, black dress coat and same color pants with penny loafers. A light smirk on his lips and a watch on his wrist. (look it up my rich friend told me to put them) which must be his first day outfit.

"I think so!" Patton responded with a picture of him in a pastel blue dress shirt, slightly darker sweater vest, a cute pink bow tie with sprinkles on it, some white shorts, same color suspenders, white mini crew socks with cat whiskers on them, and baby blue vans with daisy patches on the sides. His delightfully curly hair, round rims, freckles, his hazel eyes with a blue tint, and that damn sunshine smile of his with with tongue out a bit through his teeth.

"Patton. I'd say that outfit is ridiculous. But you look. Adorable." Logan sent back

"You look like cotton candy and I just want to fucking scoop you up and hug you forever." I sent.

"Aw thank you guys but I gotta turn in I have my cheer audition and welcome committee meeting for school tomorrow I need my energy!" Patton sent back.

"Night Pat" I sent

"Good night Patton" Logan sent.

I Turned of my phone and turned on Netflix. Eventually falling asleep to Queer Eye.

Virgil's Pov

Hi my name is Virgil Hallow. I'm a 14 year old who loves the streets. Perfect for skateboarding and Graffiti without getting caught. Of course I have my other street rat friends to commit domestic crimes.

In school we get in trouble from time to time but I get it the least. Even though I can be a little shit sometimes I do my work most of time. But I'm not a academic prodigy. If anything those teachers kinda hate me.

It's my choir, art, and English teachers who love me. The choir director thinks I'm an angel from the musical gods. My art teacher literally wants to give me a scholarship to Ringling College of Art and Design. And my English teacher thinks I'm going to become the next JK Rowling with the quality of my creative stories.

And yes my friends do make fun of me because because I'm in choir and I basically write fanfiction. But I don't really care it's basically a running inside joke at this point.

But my life isn't all teacher praise and friendship. Like I said before, my math, science, and PE teachers hate my guts because I'm not super good at those kinds of things. And I get bullied because I'm poor, emo, and in choir. Also I live in the liberal poor part of Miami. Which means I live in a getto apartment and have to carry knife in my backpack to fend off drunks, druggies, and pedophiles. My moms have multiple jobs to support us. One works at a coffee shop and they other at a department store but they want to be a nurse and a cop. sometimes that's not enough but we try. Ive taken some odd jobs like baby sitting for her friends, feeding my neighbors pets, or helping the store clerk and it's cleaning up the store. So I can help a bit.

Today was another one of those days.

I skated into the local 7/11 and saw the same friendly face.

"Hey Terrence" I greeted with a small smile.

"Hey Virgil!" He waved.

"Got any work for me?" I asked leaning on the counter.

"Yep. Restock the chips and soda machine then replace the toilet paper in the stalls. Then clean the floors 'cause I had a kid spill his icee in here shortly before you showed up." He answered.

"Got it boss" I said. I did all he asked and other things he forgot to say and when I was done I came back to the counter.

"Ok I did your dirty work." I smirked.

"Ok ok" Terrence laughed and opened the register and handed me twenty.

"You know the drill large icee and one item" He said.

"Mhm" I hummed and grabbed a giant bag of takiz and my cherry icee.

"Thanks Man" I looked back at him.

"Of course kid. You make my job easier I should thank you." He chuckled.

"Laterz" I said and skated out.

"Bye punk!" The singer teased.

"Screw you!" I yelled back.

I scoffed to myself as I rode to my next stop. Adri's place. She has have a baby boy named Camden that I baby sit for a little while they're running errands.

I knocked on the door and  answered "Hi Virgil!" She smiled "I'm so glad you could make it!" Raf hugged me.

"Of course" I hugged back.

"Remember He's a fast learner so no swearing!" She warned half jokingly as they went down the stairs to their car.

"I know I know" I giggled and we said goodbye. I went inside and greeted my sweet boy Camden. He's six and he loves marvel and Nintendo.

"Hey buddy what do you wanna do today?" I asked leaning down a bit. For a six year old he isn't that short compared to me which is troubling.

"I wanna watch superheroes!" He exclaimed happily.

"Oh yeah? What do you wanna watch?" I asked, flopping on the couch.

"End game!" He smiled.

"You sure? You won't fall asleep?" I asked smirking at him to tease him.

"Hey! I'm not a baby I can stay awake!" Cam shot back.

"If you say so" I chuckled and put it on. We watched and played fight in the middle of the movie. I was Loki and he was Thor and he beat me.

"Agh!" I exclaimed dramatically falling on the floor as he hit me with his hammer. "Brother you've defeated me once again. But hear this you haven't seen the last of me." I said in my best dying villain voice.

"Your days of evil are over Loki! It's time for you to become a good guy! But until then. We gotta keep you in jail!" Camden tried to push my body onto the couch and I fell face first onto it just to make him laugh.

"That was as fun!" He sat in the couch next to me.

"Yeah. let's actually watch now" I said turning my attention to the screen. Cam did the same same and towards the end he fell asleep in his Captain America blanket, nuzzled up to me.

I chortled "I knew it" I pet his hair. Soon after the movie was over Rafaela came home.

"Shh he's asleep" I whispered.

"Aw thank you so much.. here you go. I'll take care of the rest" She whispered back and handed me 30 bucks.

"Thank you see ya later" I waved and headed out the door. I went down the stairs to my last stop, Dariana's apartment, I feed her pets while she's at work.

I open the door and greet her dog Jaxson and her cat Simon. I gave them pets and fed them, taking Jax out to pee and cleaning Si's litter box. When I was done I said bye to them and grabbed the ten she left on the counter for me. Finally I was done. I was planning on hanging out with friends but I got a text.

Mama: hey honey! Come home I got news!😀😄🤠😸Love you!!😍🥰❤️💓💖🧡💛💚💙💜

God the over use of emojis....

Virgil: we talked about the emojis mother

Mama: I know, sorry!😰😓

Virgil: -_- nvm I'll be home in sec

Mama: what does nvm mean???

Virgil: Ugh... it means never mind.

Mama: ooohhh! That makes sense!😅

I sighed and rolled my eyes. I love my mom but she can be very extra sometimes. I ride home and open the the door to see her smiling face.

"Hi sweetie! How was your day?" She hugged me.

"Pretty good, just hung out and did some work.. I made 60" I hugged her and let go to show her the money.

"Virge we talked about this. You don't need to make money for us. we got it." She pet my hair.

"I know I just.. I wanna help" I muttered with a frown.

"Aw my sweet baby..." she cooed, kissing my forehead.

"Don't call me that..." I whined, blushing. Just then the door opened and Mom came in.

"Hey mom" I said disconnecting from her.

"Hey kiddo" she ruffled my hair "Hey sweetie" Mom kissed her cheek.

"So should we tell him now?" Mama asked her wife. She nodded.

"So Virgil" Mama said happily.

"Yeah?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I want you to read this" My other Mom handed him a folded piece of paper.

"Ok..." I said confused.

Dear, Virgil Hallow

We are pleased to inform you that you have been given a scholarship to Florida Arts Highschool. We usually do not give out scholarships. But you surprised me and the professors with the quality of your creative works. I hope to see you in class.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lauren Harriet

I covered my mouth as I repressed squeals and noises. My eyes began welling up with tears. I read the line again and let out a joy filled sob, falling to my knees.

"Aw kid!" Mom scooped my small body up off the ground and hugged me tightly. I cried into her shoulder. I was so happy. My dream school. A place I thought I'd never be able to go because of our economic level. But dreams do come true...

"I-I-I'm really going..." I sniffled.

"Yeah Virgie." Mom held my head as if I was child "you've finally been noticed for the little artist you are." Mama joined the hug. Mom put me down and the two snuggled me. It was kinda nice cause I don't get attention a lot from them but after a minute I was like

ok this is sappy.

"O-ok ok you can stop now" I said sitting up and wiping my eyes. They both laughed and backed off a bit.

"And as a little present for getting in.. we got you these" Mama held out a 36 pack of markers, line art pens, and water color markers. I gasped.

"Oh my god thank you guys!" I smiled looking at them.

"Of course sweetie" mama held my hand.

"Anything for you kid. You're going to do amazing things I can tell." Mom looked me fondly and brushed my bangs to the side.

"What do you say tomorrow we go school shopping" Mama smiled.

"And I'll take you to the mall so you can look lit for the first day" Mom smirked.

"Never say that again." I glared at her. She laughed out loud.

We proceeded to go to the mall, I got a new pair of skinny jeans and fishnets, went school shopping. Of course I only got standard black and white comp books and wooden pencils, a cheap binder, paper folders, using my backpack that I've had since 7th grade, and of course any spare pens and highlighters I find around the apartment. Of course I packed because we have dorms and we got McDonald's afterwards witch was my favorite fast food joint. Then finally getting back home.

The next morning was the day before the first day of school.

Which means I have to commit as much crime as possible with my street rats before school starts~
