Hidden love of College President

Chapter 1

Daniel's Pov:

"The class is over for today." Our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Clinton said and as soon as she finished speaking, everybody got ready to leave. "Sit down, did I say that you can leave?" She stared at everyone through her glasses. It looks like as if she can see through our souls. The thought made me shudder.

"As I was saying before you kids interrupted me." She adjusted her glasses before continuing. "Elections for Phialand's student committee are coming soon, I don't think I need to explain you all what this is, right? So whoever wants to stand in for elections, can get the form from the teachers office and submit it." She gave some more pointers before letting us leave the class.

Becomig the President of Student committee is every student's dream but it's not an easy thing to achieve. One has to first become the President of their college or university before they can compete for the post of committee's President. The Committee is made of the President and the Vice president whom are chosen through these elections, whom after taking the post choose all other commite members.

I stood up from my seat after collecting all my stuff and moved towards the exit of the classroom, being joined by my best friend, Li Cyan. He's an outgoing person, friends with almsot the whole college population. He's the perfect example of Mr. popular. And it has nothing to do with his academic work, he's known for his athletic skills, there's hardly a sport he's not good at. What else can you expect from a child of a family which is full of athletes?

"So, Mr. popular, are you gonna participate in these elections?" I asked Cyan, swinging my arm around his shoulder as we walked towards the cafeteria. We had our next period free before having Business with Mr. Brown.

"You wish, I don't have the patience or time for it, and it's not my cup of tea either." "Same here, I don't have enough time with studying and training under my father to take over the company in future."

Being the College Committee President might be a dream of many student, but its not ours.

I, Elrod Daniel am already busy with studying to be a perfect businessman along with understanding the working of our companies. I have a dream to spread our company in more than just one field, I want to achieve a lot more.

In my family, there's only me, my parents and my father's sister. She's not young anymore but she hasn't married yet for some reason so I don't have any cousins either. I like to spend time with Cyan, my only true friend and my family and helping my father out in the company. There's not much I hate but there's one person whom I absolutely despise. Hale Elias.

I don't know what his problem is but whenever we meet, he just has to do or say something that irks me. I don't want to see him at all but that's just some wishful thinking as we have to see each other a lot during business banquets and if that wasn't enough, we had to be fricking neighbours too.

I groaned at the thought of him. "Thinking about the Hale hier?" I glared at Cyan, which in turn made him laugh. "You both talk and think about each other too much for claiming to hate each other."

I smacked the back of his head. "Shut up, let's go get something to drink."

Time skip after the school

I and Cyan were about to exit out of the campus when our homeroom teacher called for me. "Daniel, can we talk for a moment?" I looked at Cyan and he nodded. "I'll wait for you in the parking."

I hummed and followed Mrs. Clinton to the staff room. "Teacher, you had something important to say?"

"Ah yeah, the elections are coming up and I hope you can be the one from our college to take part in it."

"But teacher-"

"I know Daniel, you are busy and might have no time for it, but think about it. You can tell me your decision tomorrow when the college ends."

She stood up, moved to a desk and took a sheet of paper, handing it to me. It was the form. "Think about it alright?"

"Yes teacher." I greeted her goodbye and went to find Cyan. I found him sitting on his car, playing with his phone.

"Hey, lets go." I unlocked my car. "What did she say?" "Want me to stand in the election."

"Are you going to?"

"No, but she asked me to think about it before answering her tomorrow."

"Well, I think you should it-"

"I have no time for it Cyan." I looked at him, closing the door of my car and leaning against it.

"Listen to me first, being the President or the vice President of the committee is similar to being a CEO. It would give you some real experience on how to manage a team and a company." He jumped down from the car and patted my shoulder. "Think about it."

"Yeah, you're right..I'll think about it, maybe talk to father and see what he says."

We said our farewells and see you laters and moved along on our way to our homes. What Cyan said made sense but can I manage it all? I'm not so sure. It's a great opportunity but maybe its not something I could pull off.

I walked inside the mansion still thinking about the elections or whether to take part in it or not. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see the person coming from the front and smacked into them, both of us falling down from the force of collision.

'It hurts!' I groaned in pain and rubbed my knee, opening my eyes to look and see who the dumbass person was. 'Oh God...why him?' You guessed it right, it was my i***t neighbour. Hale Elias.

'This day couldn't get any worse.'
