"Hurrrrr" I yawned as I woke up to the shining bright big ball fronting me, the birds whistling from outside of my transparent window. Yes, it's Monday, I knew it is going to be another nasty day for me. A day with regret at last.
I darted sideways to inspect my messy room and stretched forth my right arm to pick up my glasses, the corner of my left eye twitched as I looked into my nearby mirror, elevating from my bed.
I can see a young boy in his twenties with a curvy face, the unkept hair that ran from his upper forehead to the back which made him look like a prince from a big city.
I plunged sideways hurriedly as I get to know it is almost time for me to miss the public bus, picking up my towel and dashed into the bathroom.
Knock!!!
"C'mon kid, are you intending to get late today, it's 8:30 a.m. already" a voice called out, from outside of my door room.
"I am trying to fix that, Mum"
"Just give me some more time" I replied.
To be honest, I kept thinking of the bigger problem I am about to confront when I get to my academy, a big threat I usually encounter with Ben, the prime minister's son.
I cleaned up myself and proceeded back into my chamber. That was when I realized my shirt's pocket got turned when an unfortunate incident happened in school last week.
I sighed, "Not again" I murmured sadly as I wore it with taint. The fight with my adversaries last week got me wrecked, it's been happening for a long time now, Months, I guess, but whenever I try to disclose this to my mother, she would try to convince me to stay calm and adapt to it.
"But why? Mum, why?" I vented out my anger one day when I came back home devastated.
"Troy, all this has been happening for a reason, try to understand" she paused. "Remember how it is to live, surviving every day, you are aware of our family condition, you got admitted into this school to fulfill your dreams, no normal kids nowadays get admitted just like that and you know I might not be able to afford another school's fees" she continued.
Yes, that is it. She would always say that which lessen my ego to answer back. I feel sorry and cheated on at the same time, I know I would never overcome the threat until I am done with school. It's fate.
After a long moment of thought in my room, I smiled again. Hurried downstairs to join my only family to eat. "Good morning, Mum," I spoke up as I settled on our dining chair.
I ate my breakfast as fast as I can before I made a stance and ran impatiently to our front house door, telling my mum I am off to school.

I arrived at Sevilla high school on a bus after passing through many locations. As I alight the bus, I can see many girls and boys coming down from their luxurious cars as usual owned by their parents. Most of their dads were rich, unlike us who lives in small decorated apartments.
My dad died when I was 4, in a car accident; like my mum said. Since then, she has been trying her best to make me a man of my own, to build me into something people can't avoid one day.
I moved forward to our school gate trying to examine why the school was lively. Oh! it's the rich day, the rich chosen day whereby all the rich students get to have a special party in the academy, it is not for low people like me.
Sevilla high school is one of the best and rich schools in the city, Many students yearn for this type of school located in the western part of the city, A school that has succeeded in many school debates and managed to become first over other schools, painted Yellow with a green roof which exhibits the beauty and well structured tall buildings it has.
I headed down straight to my class checking from corners of the walls so as not to meet face-to-face with Ben and his gang, I got to my class only to find my locker and chair looking disarranged. Why? Why? Why? this sounded in my head three times before I get to know I'm not the only one in the classroom.
