Ch. 1

Jazmine Dubois sat quietly on her queen sized bed looking at the "Woodcrest Hillside University Campus" pamphlet with misery. Here she was finally a high school graduate thinking that she was embarking on an important chapter in her life. But only to find out on the night of her graduation party that she would not be going to Maryland Castle Rose University but to some underground broke down dirty poor college filled with god knows who. Just imagine the people who went there. On top of that she was moving back to Woodcrest. It was like her heart was being stabbed with tiny knives when her parents told her the news. She remembered the flashback of her supposed well known father who was once Maryland's most famous and praised lawyer.

Flashback….

"Jazmine, honey, can you come sit with me and your Father in the Living room, me and your father have something that we have to discuss with you and it's very important." Her mother said looking elegant in her dark blue cocktail dress.

"Sure mom, I'm coming." Jazmine said, beaming while saying goodbye to her friends who were now leaving her over the top and successful graduation party.

"Maybe it's a new car." her best friend Hannah said, smirking swinging her rich auburn hair as she fluttered out the door. Jazmine smirked as well

"It better be, I've had my eyes on a Benz for a minute now." the straight haired strawberry blonde said waving goodbye to the girl.

"Yeah mom, dad?" Jazmine said, walking happily into the lavish living room, she truly felt like the belle of the ball in her rich hot pink party dress tonight.

"Sit down honey, this is going to be hard to tell you." her father said, looking worried and solemn "What's going on?" Jazmine asked, thinking what in the hell could be so hard to tell her.

Ok so it seems she wasn't getting a new car, could it be the college? They better not stiff her she was paying them a boatload of money to practically kiss her as she thought angrily with worry.

"It's about this school you want to go to Jazmine, it seems like your mother and I won't be able to afford the tuition." Her father said gravely.

Jazmine almost laughed out loud, did she hear wrong? Because what her father just said sounded utterly ridiculous.

"What do you mean you can't afford the school? We're rich how is that possible" Jazmine said in disbelief, it was all like one big joke to her.

"Jazmine I'm afraid we're having some money issues due to some problems at work and impending lawsuit coming up from my law firm company. That will potentially cost us millions. Now naturally if this wasn't going on I would pay the tuition as though it was nothing but with this situation and impending drama that I'm in right now it would be unwise to send you to such an expensive school." Her father said looking embarrassed and ashamed.

"What does this mean? Like what money problems are we having? What lawsuit? And why are you just telling me now? Why did you leave me in the dark so long?" Jazmine said panicking.

Both her father and mother shared a look.

"What?!" Jazmine exclaimed.

Her mother cleared her throat.

"Jazmine, the money problems that we're having is severe enough where we might have to move back to our old home." Her mother said her face turning red.

"Old home." Jazmine stared incredulous and filled with dread while shaking her head.

This can't be happening, what about her friends, her goals, David, the possible potential boyfriend, and now she was being uprooted back to her childhood home where she did not have fond memories. It was there she struggled with her racial identity and was constantly talked down by some big puffy hair boy and his terrorizing brother across the street with an old man who could barely control them. She was so happy at eight to get away and now she was being dragged back there at the ripe age of eighteen. Why was this happening to her? She just didn't understand, here she was rich she could be anybody she wanted. She remembered the day when she moved away from Woodcrest, it was like a breath of fresh air and when they moved here things really changed for the Dubois. Her father suddenly started winning cases and became such a good lawyer that celebrities such as R. Kelly, Kobe Bryant, and even Beyoncé hired him to deal with their legal issues. Soon he was making so much money that they were able to afford a two story house, nice expensive cars, and fancy clothes. They were even hanging with elite society.

And now it was just all going down the drain.

"Why is this happening to us?" Jazmine screeched, fully upset.

She could almost feel herself bursting with tears.

"I know this is upsetting but it's not the end of the world, and we are moving back to a place that is familiar. Once things get back to normal they can go back the way they were." Her father said trying to calm her.

"Not the end of the world? How can you say that daddy? One minute were partying with the Kardashians and Rihanna, even going to see the president in the white house, and now we're poor and moving back to pitiful Woodcrest. This is horrible!" Jazmine said yelling with rage.

"Now honey," Her father said, but Jazmine cut him off.

"And if I can't go to the college that I want to go to, where am I going to be able to go to school now?'' Jazmine screeched, that was her dream college where she would be with all her friends, wear the latest clothes, go to the hottest college parties and now it was all ruined.

"Jazmine calm down. That's enough, I know what your father has told you is a lot to take in and is quite upsetting, but we will get through this and college is not out of the woods for you just because you can't go to Castle Rose University doesn't mean there are not other schools for you to attend. Your father and I have plenty left in our savings for you to go to a cheaper college and we found the perfect one, funded by Mr. Wuncler himself, and it's seems to be a nice school." Her mother said sternly handing her a college pamphlet.

Jazmine took the pamphlet from her mother grudgingly.

The pamphlet had bold red letters 'Woodcrest Hillside College University' displayed on the front it did seem like a decent school, but the people on the cover just seemed so ghetto.

"I can't deal with this right now." Jazmine said, feeling extremely upset and ignoring her parents calling her to come back.

Here she was, now sitting on her bed, staring at the pamphlet and letting the words she just heard race in her mind like speeding traffic.

"Why me?" she whispered.
