Zaden turned to Cardan after Easton's long stare had started to annoy him.
"Do something." he commanded Cardan in a monotone voice. Cardan pretended like he didn't hear him which annoyed Zaden to the max. All he wanted was to go to school and watch Mi- basketball but noooo.
Cardan must have done something to piss Easton off because not only was he staring a burning hole that could rival his sister's he looked like he wanted to kill Cardan.
When he said he wanted to make friends this year he didn't mean a jolly free drama queen. Damnit why did he have to have the worst luck.
"Good morning" his thought process was cut off by Teacher Yoa. A strict old man with a mean strike that could rival that of Wren ...and maybe his sister who had been acting a bit differently around Cardan...
"Since it's already clear that you all I doing mathematics I will be giving you work already"Teacher Yoa looked around the class for disagreements and bluntly ignored the silent protests.
"Good now take out your hardcover books and write today's date..." and like that 3 hours of the day were spent on math considering each lesson was one hour.
Although he wasn't a fan of school Cardan had to admit that Teacher Yoa was a pretty amazing teacher side for the cruel remarks he made to the students who tried to disrupt his class. The bell had rang to signal lunch time.
Pulling Zaden along with him Cardan made his way to the lunch area. It couldn't be compared to the luxurious lunch hall from his old school but it wasn't bad either not forgetting that it was clean too.
Waiting at the line Cardan could hear a few students discussing about the school clubs.
"So which club are you joining..." a female student said.
"I was thinking about the student government but I heard that the school is now starting a debate team and I'm thinking of joining" another answered.
"That isn't a bad idea..." the first girl said.
"Plus Mia is joining too" the person in front of me grew rigid.
It was Zaden.
By now if it wasn't already obvious Zaden would be joining the debate team. Even if it was the last thing he did.
"...Oh did you see Noa today" Cardan's ears twitched at the name of Noa.
"Yeah I did today she looked as frosty as usual unlike yesterday"
"I'm honestly glad that our ice queen is back to normal" Cardan raised an eyebrow at that. Wasn't Noa always sweet and lovely especially with that blushing cheek of hers.
Zaden snorted after noticing Cardan's look of disbelief. He too had wondered what had happened to his normally closed off icy sister. What he can say is that it all happened after Cardan appeared.
Could she possibly have a crush on him... impossible he doesn't seem like her type. Zaden thought as he remembered that his sister liked the muscular type and hardworking. Glancing at Cardan, Zaden couldn't help but think how far Cardan was from that.
Cardan was lean, as well as pale and he looked a far cry away from someone hardworking. But he'd handed it to him Cardan was handsome with his sharp looks and chiseled face that was still maturing he knew his friend would be a lady killer.
Taking their lunch they made their way back to class and began eating with Easton still in class.
"So how was your first day of 'work' " Zaden asked as he stuffed a dumpling inside his mouth.
"Good except for Easton, and can you believe I cleaned for the first time and I did well" Cardan replied with a grin on his lips.
Pausing a bit Zaden gave his friend a weird look. 'Yep definitely not her type' Zaden inwardly thought.
Catching his friend's weird look Cardan asked "What?"
"Nothing much so which club are you joining?" Zaden said trying to change the topic.
"Well which club is Noa in." Cardan returned as he took a bit of his dumpling waiting for Zaden's reply as he ate.
"... probably the drama club" Zaden said after a momentary silence.
"But there isn't a drama club...?"
"There is. It's just that it's a sub-club of the art club" Cardan raised his eyebrows in wonder, there was such a thing.
The door was roughly pushed open and a girl with delicate pale skin big rounded eyes and pink heart shaped lips entered the class. Her hair was a shining wavy brown tied up in two buns on her head.
Looking around her eyes landed on Cardan her minions following her as she made her way to him. Some taking videos of her as if she were a celebrity.
Stopping in front of him her eyes began scanning him from head to toe "Such a waste" she said softly but her voice was still loud enough for people to hear.
"Excuse me...?" Cardan questioned in confusion.
Blinking her eyes a bit she smiled at him "It's just that you look like my type but your poverty ruins it." the girl said.
"And how does it do that if I may ask?" by now Cardan was amused.
"Well it makes you look ugly" she finished a delicate giggle living her lips. Cardan's lips twitched at her words. He honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At this point he might as well do both.
The girl took off her purple sweater and threw it over his face.
"Here to cover your poverty unfortunately my sweater isn't powerful enough to cover your poverty. Even I have my limits" taking her jersey of her face he watched as her face turned to a sneer as she rolled her eyes at Zaden which quickly disappeared as she turned to Easton blowing him a kiss followed by a wink.
Easton shivered in disgust as he returned back to his books.
"Toodles" she said wiggling her fingers in an elegant manner before making her way to the door.
"Sweater" she said pausing by the door her hand reaching over her neck as one of her minion's gave her a pink sweater. And she continued out of the door.
The classroom was silent again only the sound of Easton turning of pages could be heard.
Looking at the purple sweater and the door Cardan finally turned to Zaden whose face was red from trying hard not to laugh.
"Who the heck was that?" Cardan asked Zaden waiting for an answer.
"That my friend was Wren Tan" Zaden said after managing to calm down.
"As in Austin Tan" Cardan returned his eyebrow lifting up.
"Yep him and her are cousins" Zaden replied.
"Why..." Cardan asked as his eyes returned back to the purple sweater he was holding preparing to throw it away and before he could Zaden caught his hand.
Turning back to Zaden Carden asked "Why'd you stop me?"
Sighing Zaden looked at his friend with pity " If you throw it away and Wren somehow finds out. She's going to sue you for everything you're worth and I have to agree with her when she says that you are poor" Zaden finished and I think I noticed his lip lift up.
"Why would she do that?"
"Because she can and don't bother giving it back to her you'll cause more problems for yourself" Zaden said as he picked up his phone to play a game.
"So I have to wait until she comes to collect it from me" Cardan said as he looked at the jersey in dismay.
He couldn't do anything about her right now plus he was poor a lawsuit would only make matters worse. After he was now poor.
Sighing in frustration he put the jersey inside his bag. He would throw it in some grey area in his flat later on. Now he had to finish lunch. A lunch that was ruined by Wren's arrival.
