The next day came and my head couldn't help but be curious about what Lucia said to me.
"It's because you are sitting with me, I'll explain if you survive tomorrow" I thought.
What did she mean by that I wondered, I got to school and there she was right behind me looking beautiful like yesterday.
"Hey" I greeted.
But for whatever reason she ignored me.
"Oh Mr. Houston nice for you to join us today, you had a nice free day?" Mr. Warfield asked.
I was still new here so I had no idea who Mr. Houston is, his presence in a way seemed to scare the rest of the class like an alpha's presence to it's pack they fear him and have no choice but to obey.
"Mr. Warfield, why are you asking a question that doesn't concern you even a little bit?" Mr. Houston replied.
This Mr. Houston guy's name was Milo and his family actually distant grandfather was the one who founded the school hence it's name Legacy school, it was the only prestigious school in the whole of Rich City so every rich kid was enrolled there from the children of business people, lawyers, doctors and so forth that's where we ended up.
Milo wore the school uniform however he wanted too, he wore his tie as a bandana on his head which made his red spikey hair stand out, he had two bandages on his face marking the mark of x. He was a pretty fit guy which explained a lot since I heard his the captain of the football team, his eyes lemon green and the worst part was this guy was the school's president also.
Milo removed Martin a boy who sat right next to me in the next row after he removed Ben a kid who sat next to Lucia, he kept doing so until not even one person who sat in that row was gone. After he sat next to Lucia.
"Hello Lu-ci-a" that's how he pronounced her name.
"Milo" Lucia seemed cold and uneasy.
"Did you miss me? Come on tell me how much you missed me" Milo insisted.
Have you ever noticed when someone feels unsafe near someone they hated or feared. That's how Lucia felt.
"Hey it's okay I'm here" I whispered and held her hand under the table.
Milo saw what I was doing and slapped our hands, I removed them out of the way quickly so he missed.
"Ah you must be the new kid?" Milo facing me.
"Arthur Christ at your service and you are?" I asked.
"Well they call me Milo Houston and I'm the king of this school, but you can call me President Milo" he shakes my hand.
"Nice to meet you Milo" I hold his hand with a tight grip.
Both of us stare each other in the eyes the whole class witnesses this and they all ooohed, Lucia looks at me and I can tell by her expression she's begging me to stop and so I let go of Milo's hand.
"Students may we please continue" Mr. Warfield calls out.
Lunchtime came and I found myself sitting all by myself, Lucia is sitting with Milo and his friends in a table not far from mine it's even reserved as Royalty table. Lucia can't help but look at me and I see she's ashamed.
A kid comes and sits with me, a weird but interesting kid.
"Hey there I'm Ronald, Ronald Reynolds and I'm the guy you come too if you need information about anything and anyone" Ronald talking fast.
"Hi Ronald and I'm" Ronald interrupts me.
"Yeah I know who you are Arthur Christ the new kid and judging from it the enemy of Milo Houston too" Ronald talks faster.
"So you know about Milo?" I asked.
"Of course I will tell you everything you want to know but first things first are you going to eat that?" Ronald eye my burger.
"Suit yourself" I hand it to him.
Before I forget Ronald was a strange looking guy he was thin and a little bit short he had black short hair and wore a monocle, for some reason his eyes moved so fast.
"Now tell me more about Milo" I said.
"As you wish Milo, Milo Houston full name he is the school's top kid in everything thou you may see him dressing like a struggling talentless rapper, he's actually quite smart it's just that he's too insecure in his family he's the last of three two of his brothers are both in the student council in this school" Ronald confessed.
Ronald told me everything I needed to hear about Milo, how Milo's family doesn't see him and always belittle him and how his grandfather the founder of the school is looking for a successor. So Ronald and his brothers are competing and he's last on the score board.
"Okay now tell me what's his deal with Lucia?" I asked.
"Well that my friend is the interesting part" he said while stuffing on the burger.
