Ayden's pov "Ayden" my mom's voice rang out from the kitchen, I rolled in my bed it was another typical Monday morning the only difference was that we had moved from the previous house to this one located in a high end community with chaebols My name is Ayden and I'm from an average family, maybe not anymore because my dad has been rising rapidly in the business world and now we could be partially classified among the upper class. Last month my dad had decided to move closer to the newer branch he was trying to build . I had protested stating that not everyone of us had to move but he wasn't buying it . He bought the house and began renovating and I continued having heated arguments with him complaining that I didn't want to leave the friends I already had and make friends with obnoxious and entitled rich brats He kept saying the new neighborhood suited our status more so despite my arguments we finally moved into this building last night I have never seen anything like it the tall walls guarding every house , you could barely tell what each house looked like Flowers lining the street , the advanced security, it looked like a whole new world. I watched the trees disappear as the car maneuvered the well decorated streets . I began thinking maybe this wasn't really a bad idea. I relaxed on the chair put on my headphones and closed my eyes , I didn't rest for long before the car came to a hault and my nanny tapped me to get out. I opened my eyes just in time to see my parents getting out of their car , I slowly got out sticking to my nanny's side , she guided me towards the house and I whispered a good night to my mom cus I didn't plan on staying up . I was so exhausted and needed all the rest , my mom quickly followed me into the house and I knew she was about to talk for hours "Ayden " she began "your room is upstairs I made sure to oversee the renovation first of all it's at the end of the hallway no one's going to disturb you , I had it painted in your favorite colors nothing bright" She said as guided me up the stairs "Grandma Nam's room is the closest to your room, she insisted on that" Grandma Nam was what we called my nanny she has been a part of our lives as far back as I could remember and I was so attached to her "Tomorrow is your first day of school so you'll need an early rest so you can wake up early" I halted and turned to her "Tomorrow?" I asked stretching the word "Yes tomorrow your dad doesn't want u to be behind on anything, making new friends is hard and you'll need a lot of time for that" she said and I grabbed the door handle I knew there was no winning this argument, I had to be in school the next morning. I mouthed an okay and opened the door The room was perfectly how I'd imagined ash wallpapers covering the walls , two bing windows draped in ash curtains, the bed was covered in an ash bedspread but I wasn't going on a tour around the house that could wait I wanted to sleep She stood at the door watching me curl up in bed. My mom dotes on me, she loves me so much and I love her too but she's a handful sometimes. I snuggled into the blanket hugging a pillow and drifting off to sleep I was worn out from the journey ************* Ayden's pov "Ayden " she called again this time it sounded like she was screeching. Then I began to hear footsteps coming up the stairs I groaned and rolled off my bed and went into the bathroom. She opened the door to see an empty bed and shouted towards the bathroom "hurry up" "On it, good morning" I replied from the bathroom she mumbled a morning and shuffled down the stairs I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth I looked at the mirror tracing my chiseled face with my hands I was indeed handsome I stared at my reflection one more time before leaving the room I toweled my body and walked to the wardrobe . I picked out a hoodie and jeans and sneakers grandma Nam had bought for me. I walked downstairs to see mum eating sandwiches "You look beautiful baby girl" I said to her "Thanks but you're coming down late" she said "I was exhausted and I slept late "I replied almost rolling my eyes at her "Let's go"she said grabbing her bag from the chair beside her . I handed her some wipes to clean her hands and also cleaned mine Her car was a black GLE it was should I say so her?? It just looked like something she'd like I sat next to her in the front of her car and put my headset on but she grabbed it off my head and threw it to the back of the car then she looked at me and said "not today, don't tell me you plan on doing this in school? How'd you make friends? I've told u that being an introvert doesn't mean you have to be lonely all the time, make friends bring them home host parties maybe get a girlfriend " I sighed softly This wasn't the first time not also the second time and probably won't be the last time. "You asked for it" I said turning to her" I'll definitely make a lot of friends" "Better do " she said focusing on the road I stretched my hand to the back and picked my headset and put it in my backpack as she drove into the school compound. The school was magnificent, it definitely looked like a school for chaebols , the buildings were tall and class painted with white paint . Students were pouring into the school most of them driven by chauffeurs or their parents while some rode their bicycles to school My mom opened her car door and stepped out and I took that as a sign to go out. She held my hand and walked into the building. Students were staring at us probably because I was a new face and I wasn't on the school uniform. She walked towards the receptionist and talked to her for sometime then she stood up and guided her to an office. She knocked on the door and said "Mrs Clayton is here" "Let her in" a woman's voice came from the office The receptionist opened the door and stepped aside for I and my mom to go in A bulky woman was seated behind a huge mahogany desk . She stood up to greet my mom with a bright smile on my face I looked around the office as they talked It was a huge office half covered in books Chairs that looked as if they were just bought. The shelves looked neat as if they were cleaned everyday I heard her say "you know he's in his senior year he has to prepare for college exams, he'll need to work hard to meet up with others so he can get into a good school" My mom replied her and she gave me a form to fill and submit at the end of the day Mom asked me to go to class while she completed the registration. The bulky woman whose name I later found out was Principal Becky called the receptionist and gave her instructions and she turned around and asked me to follow her I walked slowly behind her through the hallways The school was perfectly neat no spot or dirt some children peeked through the window at us. I covered my face with my hoodie, walking with my face bent and then I bumped into him . He lost his balance and I tried to steady him by holding him, I lost my balance and fell backwards and he landed on me his head inches from my face He was beautiful, his long bangs almost covering his eyes, he has a very small face big eyes and full lips. I stared at him for a long time and his face flushed pink and he hurriedly stood up and helped me up
