Monica's Pov
"Oh my goodness Nica, I love your dress" a student praised as I walked the hallway with my group of friends in a dress my grandma gifted me and as always I don't pay attention to them and just focus on my phone.
"Ughhhh Nica, loosen up a bit, this is a new session again and our last year in high school" Colin said. He's the chatter box in our group of five friends. We are known as the (R.F.H) Rich Five Hotties in the school which to me sounds cringe and childish. Like I just woke up and found out people tagged us as R.F.H because they felt a need to name our friendship. It's giving those wannabe baddies that walk in trios in novels and movies from the early 2000's. Anyway we're friends with obviously different characters that balance us. Colin is the chatterbox, Mikael is the party animal, Jake well, he's a party animal too but also the fighter and troublemaker of the group well speaking of troublemakers.....
"Jake Daniels, report to my office…now" the principal announced in the mic obviously pissed
"Well, there goes my peaceful Monday morning guys. See ya later" Jake said, patting both I and Danielle's head. I literally would've murdered anyone else for doing that.
Now yes back to introductions. My full name is Monica David, I'm from a billion dollar family unlike the rest who are from a million dollar family. Well, I'm certainly different. Despite having everything, I lack emotions at least that's what people see. So people don't really see much to talk about me and I'm really private about my life. Only my four friends really know stuff about me that even my family doesn't really know. My overly strict father has high expectations from me and my over the top mom who's obsessed with making me everyone's dream girl and an older brother(Miles) who I barely saw since he moved to college and I do fucking hate him for what he did to me. We aren't really that close but we once were when we were kids but it all changed when he started high school and the distance between us just grew. I see my family as a suffocating household and the only living thing I've ever been at peace with is my puppy(Zoe) and grandmother and well, as for Danielle, she's the sweetest girl you'll ever meet and just like Colin, Jake and Mikael, their families are not like mine. They have a pretty normal household. Danielle is that one friend you pray everyday for because she definitely has a glowing spirit.
*Ringggggggggggggg*
"Well that's our cue for class, see you later" Mikael said as we all dispersed
On my way to class, I bumped into someone because I was too engrossed on my phone.
"Oops sorry" I apologized as I looked up to find a student I've probably never seen before and he was a couple inches taller than I am and really handsome but as always, my face didn't let on any emotion.
"Do you say sorry to everyone that way?" He asked intrigued. I hate that look. It makes me feel like some fucking spectacle
"Well yes" I said beginning to feel uncomfortable under the guys scrutinizing gaze
"At least look like you mean it" He said and yes it clicked. I remembered how I don't let on any emotion. That's why my apology always seems insincere. I sighed and walked away because I don't owe him any explanation. I went straight to the toilet and after checking it was empty, I dropped my bag and looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. I was undoubtedly beautiful but over the years I noticed I've perfected the art of hiding my emotions at least that's what I try to think. After a while of just having a stare down with myself, I decided to leave obviously late for class already. As I walked the hallway, it was peaceful unlike when students were around and I loved this kind of peace. I approached class as I heard the teacher marking attendance.
"Monica David"
"Present" I said as I opened the door. Such an iconic entrance.
"Well you're late" the teacher said
"Yh, about that, I'm sorry"
"This is the first day so you're spared. Starting from my next class, do well to be punctual. You can go have your sit"
"Thanks" I said, going to sit on the first seat in my line of vision, which is the back. I love the back seat, far away from curious humans.
"So we meet again. I'm Luca" he said stretching out his hand as I looked up
"Oh I suppose" I said as I shook his hand gently recognizing him as the guy from earlier as I took my seat next to him. With the way I don't pay attention to anyone, you'll be shocked I recognize you but that's the perks of having a photographic memory
"call me Nica"
"Monica seems better" he said while holding eye contact and that kind of wanted to make me smile because no one except family and friends of course can hold eye contact with me.
"That's your choice"
*Clap clap*
"Now now silence everyone let's begin the class"
"I welcome you officially to the new session everyone and it's good to see some faces again" the teacher said, sighing clearly trying to see the truth in her words.
After the basic introductions, the teacher went on about the subject and soon the lesson ended. That's the ups for the first week of resumption, lessons end early.
Luca's Pov
I couldn't keep my eyes off the beauty next to me through the whole lesson. When I bumped into her earlier, I was taken aback before she rudely walked off which I found hot for some reason because I do not take disrespect lightly. Lunch time came but I skipped it. I had more important things to do than eat then the next bell rang, lessons started and soon we were done for the day. While packing up, commotion was heard outside then two guys burst in
"Colin? Jake?" soft voice which belonged to Monica filled the now quiet room like everyone was waiting for something to happen then the guys dramatically took a deep breath like dragging whatever they want to say or do would have more effect.
"Your brother is here" one of them said and Monica stood up abruptly that her chair fell back making me cringe at the noise
"What?" She asked like she suddenly couldn't process English
"I said your...."
"Don't worry, she heard" a block of muscle interrupted from the doorway. He was tall and looked a lot like Monica. They could pass off as twins but he looked older. The girls were busy dying on the spot just at the sight of him but I could feel the tension between these siblings.
"M…miles?" She stuttered
"Yh that's me" he said and I tried to resist an eyeroll
"Still a fucking cocky bastard" one of the two guys muttered
"If you want to talk bad about me, have some balls to say it out loud Jake and Colin, do me a favor and drop Nica's car off at home. She's coming with me" He said with so much air of authority surrounding him and as a guy, that's suffocating not that I'm affected, I'm just one to notice and my head snapped to Monica next to me. Her fists were balled up tight and they were turning fucking white but no one can see because the table is blocking that line of anyone's vision and my fingers twitched aching to touch it.
"You heard Monica, let's go" Miles stated clearly getting bored
"Hey Nica, if you don't want to go with him just say the word" the guy whose name I found out was Jake said as he approached her
"Jake fucking Daniels, she doesn't answer to you" Miles warned
"And she doesn't fucking answer to you too" Jake fired back with so much unhinged anger beginning to sip out until Monica rested her hand on his forearm and shook her head only then did he back down. She took her car keys and tossed them over to Colin before gathering her stuff and just sparing me a glance before walking out past everyone that watched their interaction. Her body was tense but she didn't let on any emotion aside the shock of her brother being here and the clenched fist only I saw. Miles walked out too but not before sparing Jake a glare that could kill. Jake kicked a table away obviously reeling with anger before two others barged in, a girl and a guy.
"What's going on?" The guy asked confused
"Jake? Colin?, we just saw Nica walk off with Miles. What's going on?" The girl asked with arms folded. "Miles and Nica? Not a good combination" the guy stated
"We obviously know that Mikael" Jake said through gritted teeth before looking up and registering everyone in the class which spiked his anger more
"Everyone out now" Jake bellowed then everyone started scurrying out like fucking spineless fools.
"Jake, let's go. You need to calm down" the girl said, dragging him out as Colin and Mikael followed.
What an interesting first day. My phone pinged with a message sent by my secretary. I skimmed through the content before rising to leave.
