THE BET
Rich's POV
I didn't show to my fans and schoolmate the anger that I felt for that guy. I act as if nothing happened so it won't be big news in the whole school.
So after the incident, the girls and I didn't bother to go to our classes and decided to stay to the usual place we hangout. We have our own private bar where we stay when we don't feel like going to class. This day is not an exemption.
Upon reaching our private bar, I threw my things on the couch and kicked whatever was on my way. I'm so pissed and I can't hide it anymore.
"Shit! I am so mad. I'm really really mad. I'm so humiliated! NO one had ever treated me that way!! That guy is so dead!" I threatened while stamping my feet.
"Did you saw how he looked at me? It's as if I'm nothing but an ordinary person. Did he even know who I am? Oh my gosh! This is so unforgivable." I growled.
What I'm so mad about, is I even stared at him from head to toe and I can't hide the fact that I admired his face and his body for a minute there, which is sooo not me. I always socialize and attend events and I used to see handsome guys, even celebrities but I never looked at them that way.
Who the hell is that guy? From what family is he? He might be from a very rich family since his looks was......
Oh no! You got to be kidding me Rich. Don't praise him for pete sake. I scolded myself.
But I had never seen him on big and business events before.
The more I asked question and didn't get any answer, the more I get mad.
Arg!!! I got to find out his family background. He might be one of our competitors in the industry and just wanted to get even by ruining my reputation.
Damn it! I need to find answers and that will come shortly when I talk to the principal.
He will never fail me. This school is one of our so called social responsibility and we donate a LOT in it that they can't even go against me. That's how powerful Hemsford family is.
"Don't be so mad my dear. Maybe you're just not his type, don't you think haha.. Althea teased and then glanced at me. "Opss sorry!" She said while covering her mouth forcing herself not to laugh. "It's just that I can't believe that she ignored you. That's the first time right?"
"That's really interesting of him to ignore the Queen of Holy Rosary University but if you think about his looks, not bad. As a matter of fact he's so handsome right? His eyes are hypnotizing." She added with glee on her tone.
"Stop it Althea. It's not interesting at all. Do you even care how Rich felt earlier? How insensitive of you. I know Rich can manage to make that guy fall over her. Right?" Donna looked at me and waiting for my response with questioning look. Hoping to get a "of course" answer from me.
"That's right! That way you can prove to the whole school again that no one could ever resist you and you can make that guy suffer by breaking his heart apart." Aubrey added with a matter of fact tone.
"Don't even think about it! The way he looks at Rich, it's as if he is disgusted!" Althea said while playing the end of her hair. Obviously, she's mocking at me. "Why don't we just accept the fact that there are people out there who DON'T admire Rich's beauty." She intentionally puts an emphasis on the word don't. I smirked right before her.
Only an Alien can refuse my beauty. No person in the right mind could refuse me!!
"This is pathetic but... do you wanna bet Althea?" I asked confidently. "No rules applied. Do whatever it takes to stop me and I will do whatever it takes to win. Whoever loses will do whatever the winner's pleased."
She smirked annoyingly and says "Fair enough then so be it." Althea agreed.
Stupid Althea. She doesn't know what my beauty is capable of.

Warren's POV
I'm so amaze on how professors actually teach their students here. I can really say that their curriculum is more advanced and well constructed compared to my previous school.
Very professional. I commented. Not all people were given this privilege to study in a school like this. It even exceeds my expectation. This is really awesome!
I went to library earlier to check some books that I can use as reference in our homework. To my surprise it's as big as a museum. Book shelves are full of books and I can't even choose which one to borrow, there are a lot of good resources and it made me feel so excited so I stayed there for a couple of hours without noticing that It's getting dark outside which indicates that I need to go home and prepare for work.
"I wanted to stay babies but I still have work to attend to, but I promise I'll pay you all a visit again tomorrow." Oh come on Warren, now you're talking to those books. I must be crazy and so inspired with this library.
I'm so happy for some reason. This is my Paradise! I will never gave this school up no matter what!
But I need to go now. I don't wanna be late for work.
I packed the books I borrowed on my bag and headed to the exit of the library when I noticed that a lot of girls are staring and giggling at me with a blush on their stupid faces. Some are even asking for my mobile number, name or room. I just don't answer and walk straight through them. This is what I hate the most, DISTRACTIONS!! In spite of this school reputation and capability, this might be one of things I don't like about it.---Troublesome GIRLS. Aside from bullies of course.
I now reached the building's exit but students are still gossiping and whispering on their ears while looking at me. Some of them looks at me with amusement, admiration but some are annoyance.
I can't help but notice and I sense that I'll be on trouble in short period of time.
I manage to reach the catwalk and finally get into the road that headed far from the gate. I sighed. How long will it takes me to reach the entrance gate.
I noticed that I am the only one that's walking in here.
What do I expect? Of course all of the students here are very rich and definitely they're gonna be riding their own fancy car. Right?
But to my surprise, there are some students gathering on the shadowed part of the street, where a lot of trees are located. As I get close to their location, I started to notice that they are looking at me with their mad eyes and gritted teeth.
So this is what they called bullies in here huh? I asked myself. Compared to my previous school? They look a little a bit more harmless. Maybe because they don't really look like one, they're wealthy kids for pete sake!
Unlike in my old school, just a stare from the bullies would make you feel alarmed and troubled because you will know for a fact that their lives are already wasted and they are not scared of anyone not even death. Those kids don't value their lives, they prefer to ruin it more and blame others or even God when they face the consequences. But these guys in front of me, they look like celebrities or boy band or something. Not bullies you know. Not even a little.
So I want to honestly laugh at them.
And what's more hilarious about this group is that, they're wearing a fabric on their forehead with a name Rich on it.
So did she ordered them to do this for her or are they doing this for her on their own?
I don't understand? What's so special about that girl? She is a bit beautiful, yes. So?? This is so low.
They keep on clutching their fist as if they're testing it or they're scaring me. Which will never gonna happen.
Just looking at your pretty face will not scare me.
I placed my hand inside my pocket and walked straight towards their direction. Some of them are still hesitating to attack me but others started to strike me with punches and kicks but I seem to see all their movements and easily block them.
"Is that all you've got?" I said while preparing to attack. That made them more mad and aggressive which I used to my advantage. I just swayed to their attacks. They couldn't even hit me and that irritates me. So I just imagined that I'm just practicing taekwondo in my old school.
Not to brag but I'm used to multiple attackers like this, so I'm pretty confident that they won't stand a chance. Every time they attack me I will just counter and hit them hard one by one, so they will not be able to cope and stand up anymore.
"I guess I'm done here. Not even a single sweat." I smirked while rubbing my two palms against each other, removing the dust from it.
I hope they learned their lesson now. I reach my bag from the ground and started to walk. I need to go home now and prepare to go to work.
Nice work out huh? It's been a long time since I practice like this.
GROWL!! My stomach groaned.
This is a sign that I really need to go home.
