chapter 1 Oh my gosh he's so cute, oh my gosh he's my crush , I love him, the girls on campus kept repeating this as they saw him coming out of his luxurious car. He stepped out of the car and everyone wanted to go close to him. Girls were obsessed with him because he was the most popular, handsome and richest guy in the school. But he had a bad behavior of disrespecting everyone that comes his way. He was very arrogant. He always had the audacity to speak to his teachers anyhow, girls were nothing to him but a doormat for his foot. Upon all these behavior of his, people still liked him because he was rich. I hated this guy so much with passion, his behavior pisses me off, his attitude towards girls makes me hate him more than ever. When the girls were saying good things about him while he was going to class, I told them to stop daydreaming because that guy over there will never look at their faces. They became angry and walked out on me. I wasn't shocked at all because I was expecting all these reactions towards me when I started speaking. My opinions wasn't accepted anytime I speak because I was an ordinary student and penniless. I was the direct opposite of the rich guy, Reginald Denny. No one regards me as part of the school because the school was meant for rich people but I came on scholarship. " Fiona! Fiona!" Francesca called me whiles I was sleeping on my desk. She asked me what was wrong, I told her nothing. Francesca was the only student who accepted me as a student of the school and she saw me as a friend and a sister. She also knows it when I'm happy or sad. She told me that if it's about the behavior of our classmates towards me then I shouldn't worry, things will go on well for me as time goes on. I laid my head on her shoulders and cried, she was the only shoulder I can cry on. She showed me so much love ever since I came into the school. Marsha Blackburn, a bully in the school and was also my classmate came to us and said hurtful words to us that we were supposed to be in the slums rather than coming to the school that's where we belong, and she left after that. Marsha was Reginald's girlfriend, she was rich too and a bully like her boyfriend but the funny thing is that Reginald doesn't respect her at all. At break time, Reginald sat in his class when Marsha went to visit him in his class. She immediately went to hug him but he gave her a brush off and pushed her away angrily. Telling her to get her dirty body off him, she's going to stain his uniform with dirt. Marsha was hurt when Reginald threw those words at her. She left with a sad face and came back to class crying uncontrollably saying "why does he always have to go to the extent of hurting me with his words". I went to her and told her that she deserves to be loved, cherished and respected, not to be treated like a nobody. She angrily shouted at me to shut up and I shouldn't dare interfere in her matter anymore. I left quietly and had these thoughts on my mind asking why this guy keeps behaving that way. I had no answers to that question after all I don't care about him he's not worth my care. Her friends came to console her and all that they could tell her was not to leave Reginald but rather endure everything she's going through else the moment she leaves, someone else will replace her. That was very true, Reginald had many girls around him so he could get one at the snap of his fingers. Marsha never wanted to loose her fame and her boyfriend too so she kept enduring the pain. When school closed and we were preparing to go home. Reginald was about to enter his car when one girl bumped into him from the other side of the road,he shouted at her " hey you dirty fool how dare you, are you blind, watch your way next time". The girl walked away with tears all over her. I could sense she really had a crush on him but she had the shock of her after the incident. I stood at the corner of our classroom with Francesca looking at him when Francesca said to me with a smile on her face" he's handsome even when he's angry". I knocked on her head and told her to wake up and realize the stupid thing that so called handsome guy did to the girl right now. " Are you okay Franca, can't you see this guy is doing too much, it's getting out of hand", I told her. We sighed and set off to our homes. On our way home, a car recklessly came to pass by us, we were lucky it didn't hit us cause Franca pulled me to her side to prevent any accident. I shouted at the car, are you blind? , don't you know how to drive?, I guess the driver heard what I said so he drove back to where we were. He got out from the car and shockingly, it was Reginald. He asked with arrogance" were you referring to me?". I gathered courage and told him that he's the one I was talking to, can't he see that people are passing by?". He was taken aback after hearing me speaking to him in a brusque manner. No one in the school has ever spoken to him in such manner before, no
