JAVEON'S P.O.V.
It's the first day of school and there goes my mom, watching me walk down the stairs. This is awkward so I just smiled at her. She made me sit on the sofa and so she sat beside me. She fixed my necktie and my collar before looking up to me. I'm taller than her, of course she'll look up.
"So, Son, You know Ian right? Ian Dela Cruz." Ian huh. Of course I know him. He as just the one who punched me 'till my nose bleed, Pushed me to trip all the fucking time in elementary; And sabotaged all my school works in high school.
"How couldn't I know him?" I grinned at my mom so she just giggled.
"Oh, well, son, He will be your classmate! Isn't it nice!" Yeah right. My family thinks me and Ian are "friends" since my family and his are. But we are not. He's a fucking bully and I can't fight. His family owns majority of shares on all of our company. I'm his pet and I can't do anything about that.
"Oh yeah! It's nice!" I faked smile at her and she just stered at me, smiling while holding both of my shoulders.
I was getting uncomfortable so I said goodbye to my mom and go to school. I walked in the classroom, hoping that what my mother said was not true but it is.
"Hey, Javeon, Over here!" Ian called while waving his hands. He's with his friends and I don't know them. Javeon was first to transfer here, he transferred by the third year of high school and I transferred by the fourth year. Now, we are in the 11th grade. "Guys, this is Javeon, My friend." I looked at him with furrowed brows.
We formed a circle while listening to what Ian's saying. It's fucking ridiculous.
"Well, I heard that the teachers will make us 'tutors' to our juniors. I thought of a bet." He grinned while playing the toothpick with his tongue. His friends looked interested so I just listened. "If we will be paired with an opposite gender, I bet my PS5 to the one who can make his study partner fall in love with him. The fastest one wins."
"That's it?! Ridiculous. I have a PS5 on my own." I said.
"Oh, I'm not finish yet Javeon. That bet is for them." I furrowed my brows at him, pissed. He's just smiling at me. "If you lose, we'll buy the Zavallana Hotels. One. Hundred. Percent."
"Wait what?! You can't do tha-"
"Oh, you know I can." He winked bat me before going back to their seats. Shit. I have no choice but to go with the bet. We can't loose a company. This is insane.
After the lunch break, Our lecturer called us and we followed her to the Fourth years' classroom. The last to call was me and Ian and I looked around to know who was left. It was..
Jane. Came form a rich family. They own the Ariajane Salons, Rivers Hospital and the J.Rvr designs. They're rich as fuck. She's not ugly but she's not that pretty either. She has long wavy brown hair and a mole, beside he lips. They said that's her flaw.
And the other one was..
Xera. Melantha Xera Clavienta. They own this school which is the Euthoshire Elite University. EEU for short. They also own the Clavienta Hotels--The most famous hotel in the whole Asia. They also own the 'Melantha'--The bookstore everyone in the world knows. She's the most rich person I've ever met. Yes, we already met.
If I were to ask, I would prefer Jane to be my partner. First, she's easy to flirt with, second, she's nice and kind while Xera over there she's.. Scary.
OH FUCK. I WAS PARTNERED WITH XERA.
"Ian, Ian, Let's switch." Ian looked at me and looked around to know who I was looking at.
"No way, Javeon. That's a challenging one. Goodluck." He just chuckled before walking towards Jane. I swallowed before walking towards Xera. She looks nervous though, not the reaction I was expecting. We were talking and she seems nice. I just went back to my class when I realized all of my classmates were already gone. After class, I gave Xera my name and added her on instagram.
Times had pass and can you believe it?! We're a couple. I grinned by myself to call Ian after I was home. "Bro, guess what?"
[What?] He asked but he doesn't sound interested.
"Me and Xera. We're a couple now so our company's safe okay?"
[Asshole. You think I'll believe you? You can't be faster than me.]
"Confirm it then."
He was silent for a minute so I almost jumped on my seat when he shouted. [SHIT JAVEON BRO!! IT'S TRUE!! CONRATS BRO YOU'RE GOOD!!]
Me and Xera were couples for a while but I still don't have any feelings for her. What a player Javeon! What a player! Today, Xera asked me if we could hang out my the mini forest and I agreed. We were cutting classes so we were the only people in the area.
Currently, She's eating french fries. I saw her chewing with her chubby cheeks. "Pfft. Cute." I whispered.
"W-What?" She looked at me, blushing again.
"Nothing." I chuckled and she just looked away. She got one to feed me so I opened my mouth. She's sweet but of course, it's a game. I'll never fall for this lady. Whatever happens.
While I was eating, she caught me staring at her and she just smiled at me. I felt my cheeks heating. I'm not used to this heating cheeks but it's nothing.
"You're red." She whispered and got her handkerchief form her pocket before wiping my forehead. "Are you okay?"
I nodded. "How about you? Are you okay?" She's about to nod but I didn't let her continue. "Your dad. You can tell me what happened. I'll listen."
"What? Javeon- I- How'd you know?!" I just smiled at her and hugged her. "Okay, okay I'll tell you." She whispered right trough my ears and I started feeling my cheeks heat again. Weird.
