I'm a Girl Undercover in An All Boy's School novel Chapter 11

Definitely an Ivy League school.

I looked up from my food when I saw Leon and a few other guys joined me. I swallowed the food in my mouth and looked at them curiously, avoiding eye contact from Leon specifically,

"Hi?" I said awkwardly as I took a spoonful of rice and teriyaki chicken, stuffing it in my mouth. I chewed slowly as I watched a wide smile slide on Leon's face.

"Jason, I don't know if you remember me or not, but I'm Leon," he said taking a sip of his pop.

"Yeah, I remember you," I said moving my spoon around and playing with my food.

"This is Ashton and Cam," he introduced his friends and sent them a nod.

"Sup." Ashton said sending me a nod back.

"Do you live around here?" Cam asked me and I hesitated, did I? I don't know how far my lie was supposed to go.

"Yeah."

"You know you look familiar. Do you have a sister by any chance?" Leon asked and I quickly shoved some rice in my mouth to stall. That questioned was random. Taking a sip of my Lemonade, I shook my head.

"Nope," I responded and he nodded, not dropping his gaze. My phone vibrated causing me to jump a little. I took the chance to avoid a conversation and pulled it out of my pocket. I smiled when I had a text from Mia.

Always the lifesaver.

------------To: Claire From: Mia

Liam is back. Just saw him @ the store in LA.

My face paled as memories of a familiar midnight blue haired boy popped in my head. I clenched my fists angry that he was back in America and didn't tell me.

------------To: Mailroom: Claire

Tell him to go to hell.

"It's still a university, you apply and they'll let you know if you got in. The only difference from this university and the rest is that you find out immediately. They honestly pay people to just sit there and decide whether people are accepted or not. But believe it or not, it's still number one Ivy League boy's school in the country," Ashton said, looking almost smug by the fact.

"Why would your father send you here at age sixteen?" I asked him while unconsciously moving the ice around in my drink with the straw.

"I have to be prepared to take over my father's company at age twenty one," Leon said like it was obvious.

"Same here," Cam pitched in and Ashton nodded agreeing.

"So does everyone here take over their parents company?" I asked and Cam snorted.

"Obviously, I mean they would be stupid not to. This school is the top school and in order to get in it costs thousands of dollars. There are only a few students here that have scholarships everyone else is paying the full price. It's pretty cheap if you ask me," Cam said, shrugging and I looked at them curiously.

"How much does it cost to go here?"

"You sure do ask lots of questions, Jason. Didn't you look up anything before you applied?" Ashton questioned and I gave him a sheepish smile while shaking my head. "For every month it's some high payment in the upper thousands. I don't pay attention to how much comes out since my payment is just automatically taken out, but it's not bad. Maybe around $20,000 or so," he explained and I couldn't help but choke on my own spit. How on Earth did my mom get me in here? There is no way my father would agree to pay that much every month. I mean yes, we're not poor, but we're not exactly rich either. She must of got me a scholarship or something but I don't know exactly she would do that since there are no school records anywhere for a guy name Jason Lockwood.
