The Payton Prestige High School was a high school that only children of the elites of England attended. These students included children of CEOs of corporate companies, army Generals, Directors even some ministers sent their children to this school.

Admission to Payton Prestige is quite hard but Draven being the mayor's nephew easily in.

....

7:30am, at Payton Prestige High School...

Rina and Draven finally arrived at school. Rina's driver stopped at the gate were students were supposed to be dropped off then Draven together with Rina got out of the car and proceed to walk towards the school's main building.

Draven couldn't help but notice the glamour of the school as he walked:

"So this is Payton Prestige. As expected of a high school ranked number two in the country."

"What did you expect? This school is directly sponsored by the prime minister." Rina said.

"Dad told me you'll be placed in third year. I take it you went upto second year in America right." Rina added.

"Yeah..." Draven replied.

"Okay first you'll need to head up to the principal's office to formalize your attendance. Then you -...."

"Morning Rina!" At soft female voice called Rina from behind.

Rina turned to looked who called her:

"Oh morning Camila" Rina greeted her friend.

Draven closely looked at Camila, trying to remember her in his childhood memories.

Camila caught up to Rina and gave her a light hug:

"I am so tired from yesterday. I stayed up all night finishing up the chemistry assignment. So right now I just wanna-...."

Camila paused as she finally noticed Draven standing besides Rina.

Camila and Rina were considered some of the most beautiful girls in school despite them only being in their second year.

But even she was dumbfounded at the sight of Draven:

"Uhm Rina? Who's your friend?" Camila asked.

"Friend? You mean him? Camila don't you recognise him?..... He's Draven, as in my cousin Draven from way back when we were in elementary school."

Apon hearing Draven's name, memories started flowing in Camila's mind. Memories of the cool calm and collected boy from her childhood.

At that moment Draven also recalled who Camila was:

"Camila....."

"H-Hi Draven..... It's been a long time huh?" Camila blushfully said.

"Yeah..." Draven replied.

"If you guys are done with this little reunion we gotta get to class Camila and Draven you have to go to the principal's office." Rina interrupted.

"Just direct me to his office and I'll be fine on my own"

"I could escort if you wa-..."

"No Camila we don't have time to be tour guides. Draven said he'll be fine on his own. Draven, Just go through that building next to the main building and you'll find the administration office. There use the elevator up to the 2nd floor. That's where you'll find the principal's office."

"Thanks. I'll see you after school is done Rina. I'll be going now." Draven said as walked away.

"Bye Draven!" Camila waved

Rina looked at her friend with a suspicious look:

"Camila don't tell me you still have that childhood crush on Draven?"

"N-No. Am just glad to see him again is all." Camila nervously replied.

"Haaa..." Rina sighed "let's just get going."

....

On the third floor of the main school building. In class 3-A....

The third years where having their homeroom class:

"Okay settle down everyone." The homeroom teacher Mr Allan said.

Mr Allan pulled out the register from his file:

"I'll now call the register so please be quite. But before I do that, I received information from the principal yesterday about a new student will be joining us today."

"A new student will join us? In our final year of high school?" One of the students asked.

"Yes. The principal didn't give me all the details but-..."

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Mr Allan turned to look at the door:

"That must be him."

Mr Allan walked to the door and open it.

"You must be Draven. Come in come in."

The students were anxious to see who the new student was. Draven walked in the class, walking towards the front of the class.

As Draven walked in, everyone in the classroom was lost for words. They never expected to see a really cool looking tall handsome guy with gorgeous black hair to walk in.

"Alright Draven introduce yourself the class." Mr Allan said.

Draven took a breath in then out:

"My name is Draven Coder. Nice to meet everyone."

The students began to mumble among themselves:

"Did he just say Coder? As in mayor Syven Coder?"

"There's only one family in England with that name. Could he be the mayor's son?"

"Excuse me, are you really related to mayor Coder?.." one the students asked.

"Yes. Mayor Syven Coder is my uncle, which makes Rina Coder my cousin." Draven replied.

The students mumbling increased even after hearing Draven was really a Coder. Only a few students kept there cool after hearing that.

"Okay okay everyone quiet now. You can ask Draven more questions later. Draven, you may take a sit right there next to the window." Mr Allan said.

"Thank you." Draven answered as he proceeded to his sit.

Homeroom class went by then came other morning classes.

....

At 1pm, it was lunchtime and the students started to make the way to the cafeteria.

Draven gathered his books in preparation to head out for lunch.

As he was packing, Draven noticed one of the male students coming towards him.

"Hey. It's Draven right?" The student asked Draven.

The student looked like a male pop idol. He had silky, smooth, short black hair and face well groom. To put it simple terms, the boy was cute.

"Yes. And you are?" Draven replied.

"Oh my bad I didn't introduce myself. Am Tenjin Yoshida. Nice to meet you."

Draven thought to himself for a second:

' ....Yoshida?. So his the son of the current director of the National Medical Agency of England, Takumi Yoshida. Interesting... '

"Likewise." Draven answered.

"Wanna come have lunch with us Draven?" Tenjin asked.

Draven kept quiet unsure of whether he should join Tenjin or not. But he was still new at Payton and he had to know his way around as soon as possible.

"Yes I can join you I guess."

"Great let's get going." Tenjin happily said as he walked towards the class door.

Draven got up from his sit and followed Tenjin. After walking for a while in the hallway, Draven noticed he and Tenjin were going in the opposite direction of the cafeteria.

"Tenjin? Isn't the cafeteria on the first floor? I noticed were are going in the opposite direction. Where are we going?" Draven asked.

"Relax Draven, we're here."

The two boys reached out a large door which said Student Council.

"The student council room? Why are we here?" Draven asked.

Tenjin smirked and looked at Draven:

"This is where we are going to be having our lunch..."
