CHAPTER 1

"Alright students! Settle down! Stand and wish,"

"Good morning teacher!" the class choired.

The classroom was filled with the morning sun, as the students' echoed voices filled the room.

Well, this is going to be super awkward, I'll make it short and quick, so that they wouldn't have seen me coming! I planned this perfectly, now it is just the execution, you can do this!

"Well today we have a new person in class," said the teacher, as he glanced at me, hoping I will continue my introduction.

"Hello! I am Iris Miller, I lived in the states for a while, before I moved back here, since my dad and mom does research work, they had to often shift from place to place," I said.

The class was loud and no one exactly paid attention to what I was saying. I looked at the teacher, and she looked back at me, smiling awkwardly. I smiled back, as she then assigned a seat for me. The plan was a success, I didn't make a mistake and no one saw me. Though I want to make friends, I don't want to screw up in front of everyone.

I went to my seat and sat down, happy and with relief. I took out my notebook since I didn't have my textbooks yet, so I had to wait for a week for my textbooks.

"Okay class! Let's start our lessons for our first term," said the teacher before she looked at me and said, "Iris, since you haven't received any of your textbooks yet, share it with your desk mate."

Okay, I have the chance to make a new and first close friend I will ever have. I brightly looked over at the other desk, and there sat a boy, completely annoyed by the idea of sharing books. Shock was written all over his face and dislike. The other side was a window so it was only him.

So much for a nice high school life, with a lot of friends! Oh! How I wished my desk mate was a nice, kind, sweet girl.

"Ugh! Don't even think about being all nice and speak to me, don't even say a word," he said as I went closer to his desk.

What is this guys problem? I didn't even speak to him, yet he is giving me a warning, what a waste of that pretty face of his, that's why people say the prettier the face the higher their ego.

But speaking of a pretty face, this guy has a really nice face. With his jet black hair and charcoal black eyes, that could seduce anyone with just his handsome face, and as he flipped the textbook with his long and elegant hand. Everything about him made me feel strange, like I was oddly brought to him. Wait, now I feel like a stalker 🤦‍♀️

But he sure does have a temper, and has a bad personality because he just shouts at you for now reason, so he is a solid 0 for me, not my type, I like guys who treat me nice, unlike him.

I mumbled to myself "I dIdn't even say a word and u started shouting,"

"I can hear you, you moron," he said as he flipped the textbook.

I looked at the book trying to play it of, as if I didn't hear him.

DID I TELL IT TOO LOUD?!!!!! I'm screwed, first I sit with this person, next I humiliate myself in front of him and now this!! I am so cursed!!!! Why didn't I speak in my mind voice?

I looked up at him and saw him smirking with his devilishly charming face. It's like God made sure he would turn out like a work of art, but when it came to personality, god just forget about it and felt him without completing him.

"Okay class, I will explain this formula in the next class. You all can go for lunch now," said the teacher as she left the class.

I'm so glad it's break now!!! It was suffocating to sit beside a demon who can blast at you at any moment, it's more like he was an active volcano, which we don't know when he would explode.

Now that I think about it, I never got his name. Not like a care though, so let it be.

I take out my lunch box and look around, everyone already has their own little groups, laughing and talking around, whereas I was there not knowing anyone and just wandering around, hoping someone will come up to me and talk.

"Umm... Hello! Do you want to sit with us for lunch?"

I turned around to see a small and cute girl. She had space buns and light brown hair, and had a very innocent look in her face. It was like she heard my voice and came up to me, asking for a friend who I can talk to.

I was excited since I was feeling lonely at that time, "Ye--yeah! I would love to sit with you all if you don't mind!" I said smiling brightly.

You can do this Iris, you waited for this moment for a long time, so of course you have to take it, and don't mess it up.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Emma! It's a pleasure to meet to Iris!" she said extending her hand.

"You to Emma!"

"You don't need to be so still and formal, it's okay to loosen up and become friends! You can call me Em," she said as he took my hand and pulled me to her seat.

"Yo Em, come here! I got the window seat! Come fast I'm starved!"

"Coming~" shouted Emma as she took her lunch box and lead me to the other girl.

"This is my best friend! Natasha~" she said as she pulled her towards me.

Natasha, had a husky voice and was much more matured look than Emma or any other girl in our class, she looked like the girl who will be good at everything, and she had a look that was intimidating yet gorgeous.

"Yo, I'm Natasha, but you can call me Nate," she said.

My first friends!! I couldn't be more happy!!! I wanted to dance and sing, but I was taken back, because I was in public, but I was overjoyed by everything! I wanted to cry, shout, scream and was excited. I didn't know what to feel that that moment, but I hoped it lasted for long.

In my old schools, I was called by many names, and my so-called friends, never actually liked me. They always wanted me thrown out of their gang, which I built and some because my friends because oh my power and status in school, no one actually liked me, that's why they never let me call them with their pet names.

Now, looking back, I wasn't hated because of my face or anything, they hated me because of my influence, on the teachers and the students. I was elected for the school captain many times, even though I was a former delinquent myself, which everyone opposed.

Right when I was deep in thought, Em called me, "So, you are sitting with the school's tiger?"

"Huh?! Who is that? The guy side of me??? His name is tiger?!!"

"No, silly!!! He is titled that, because of his attempt of murder,"continued Em

"Wait, what?!! Murder??? Shouldn't he be expelled?" I asked.

"He can't, cus his father owns the biggest hospital in the world, most of the famous doctors are from his dad's hospital. So no one dares to touch him, and it's all just rumors about him, but you know, every smoke has a fire," said Nate.

Should I be sitting with this maniac? Let alone share a desk and share books with him?!!

"What is his name tho??" I asked.

"His name is Ethan, Ethan Clinton," said Emma.

"Well, also be careful, not because of him, but because of his fan base, getting too close will only give you a bad ending," said Natasha.

"I know right, the north dukes princesses, gives me shivers. As cringe as their names says, they are also cold-blooded animals" said Emma.

This gives me more reasons I shouldn't be sitting with him!!!! I will freak out of anyone of his princesses come to me and say me to back off!!! This is just exhausting to me!!!!

"Don't worry! He doesn't have friends, he only has his childhood friend Tom. So you won't get threats from his side, only from the girls," said Nate.

"Okay I'm going to keep my distance from him from now on!!" I said to myself, clenching my fist, but I guess the world has different plans.
