Chapter 1. Starts with us.
Sam's POV
I can’t believe that this is my last year in this high school. Next I have to complete my graduation in order to take my father’s place in his company. Though I always wanted to create my own but he too needs someone who can replace him in his empire. My father Cesian Fernandez is one of the successive businessman from one of the corners of world. He owns half of the Vostrolia and the other half is owned by his rival. My mom Rhea Fernandez is not involved in any matters of dad. She likes to be simple and takes care of all of us. She barely interferes in my dad’s business. My mom owns and manages some of the quarters of Vostrolia.
“Sam come down and have your breakfast, you couldn’t be late on the first day dear!” mom shouted
“Coming Mommy!” I replied.
I quickly wore some sunscreen which is a must in this too sunny weather where I can convert into a walking omlette which I surely don’t want to be on my first day. I patted my face and tied my hair into a ponytail, grabbing one last glanced of myself in the mirror I got my school bag and stuffed every book I need. I climbed downstairs only finding dad, mom and my siblings. Siri my younger sister was nibbling on the toast and Alex gulping the juice down his throat.
“Good morning dad” I greeted him and back hugged him.
“Good morning my little” He exclaimed.
“Good morning mom”
“Good morning my sleepyhead!” she chuckled.
I sat down next to Siri and mom served me some pancakes with honey and raspberries on top and I happily ate it all.
“Lets go Siri and Alex, we might get late!”
“Don’t hurry child, my driver Shawn will drop you safely” dad said.
“Yeah dad, or might big sister might again trip over a skate” Alex said.
“Huh? Shut up brother!” I muttered.
“Be careful and go slow” mom bid us bye and we all three got up to head to the car where the driver was waiting for us. We jumped into the car and next in ten minutes he dropped us all at school.
UNITY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (UIS)
I read as I entered. Summer vacations pass so quick. I barely had anytime to enjoy! Well it’s just an excuse! Grant me how many holidays I am still going to say it’s not enough, though it was!
I made my way up to the third floor through lift. Yeah! My school owns a lift! It’s quite an expensive school in Vostrolia. All the rich kids are enrolled here. Mostly are egoistic and super venomous. I and my siblings got enrolled here due to our academic performance. Though my dad is a rich guy still we all three refused to use his money for admission. But to say honestly one of my father’s Best friend own this school, so there were enough ways for us to get admitted here.
Here, students don’t listen or obey teachers’ but teachers’ obey the students. All the kids here have a good and a rich background through which they almost lead. If anyone disobeys, the teachers’ can’t even say anything or they would end up losing their job. Some parents take their kids as a soft flower which they aren’t.
Spoiled rich brats!
The poor can’t even afford in here due to the environment followed here. Everything is expensive and above all limits of the poor. If anyone of them gets into through some kind of scholarship, they do not survive here less than a week and get transferred to another.
I entered the class, same as usual our summer holidays are over and we are promoted to another section and I can see similar faces of my friends. Some were discussing about their vacations whereas some were busy gossiping and there my eyes fall on him. Gabriel!!
Wow!!... he seems to be the more excited than others and something that I noticed that he was looking more good then I earlier saw him before vacations and why he seems to be white washed.!! I was going to approach him but suddenly my girls pulled me towards them. Well, yes I have a group of girls actually yes they are the ones whom I sat with , gossip with, mostly all hilarious things. Aiz is one of the mature girl among us, she is understanding. And, here comes another Love, the one who is the most savage and stubborn girl you just can’t win over her in any argument but she always end up falling for a wrong guy. Next is Jania she is the most chilled one and always jokes around but dirty ones! She is little dramatic, actually the one who acts mostly. And here goes myself well they think I am a bookworm, reading novels, writing poems.
I was just talking with this three when suddenly my eyes met the boy I wanted to approach but then I saw his gaze was already to me, he smiled I just forced a smile back. He walked to me and immediately leaned closer to look for me I just gave him a hard time and knocked him with a slight slap on his arm.
“Aww!!”he answered.
“ I hope u didn’t forgot your slave ”he exclaimed.
“Seriously, Slave?” I looked at him in amazement.
“ Love me or love me not !!” He whispered leaning closer.
“Huh?? What !” I answered
“You have the nerve to say that ??” I exclaimed.
“Oh come on just joking around” he answered.
“So how were your holidays without me ?” He asked
“Way better without you” I answered annoyingly.
He’s annoying sometimes but fortunately he is my one and only best friend, who knows me from head to toe. Though he never fails to make my life nothing less than a roller coaster.
“Gabriel, aren’t you dating someone… well there’s a talk in the air about your girl.. tell us about her , is she good than your classmates or…..better than Sam??” Jania asked teasingly..
“Huh,seriously are you really dating someone “I asked surprisingly.
What! When did he started dating? And I don’t have a fucking ear about it!
“Well, I also just heard about it now…” he laughed before answering.
“It’s true no girl will date someone who is careless , mischievous and useless” I exclaimed.
“ Why , can’t I date someone ? Wait, is it because you think that I don’t fit in your dating application or list.. well I am your friend I won’t hide it but every girl is just trying to win over me” he said leaning in closer .
Is this guy Okay? Did he got hit on his head?
Of course when life hits you hard with a brick on your head!
“Literally, you? You just look like a pig!!” I answered
“Huh ? Seriously , well you think like that so I can’t help” he said.
“Leave it” I answered.
I bet the day Gabriel got his date, I would pass out infront. He has little of a great personality. Green eyes, black silky hair, physique and a toothy smile. But still he will look like a monkey to me, because he behaves like one! Spitting jokes and flirty lines and still acting like a moron isn’t a type.
But here again he is my bestfriend for a reason!
The class teacher just entered the classroom . Everyone went back to their seats. The teacher informed us about the daily schedule of lectures which would be pinned regularly to the bulletin board in the office, which would be followed from the next day. She selected two representative for our class. She asked me first because I am the usual representative but I am kind of bore of this thing. But there’s no one who could take it for me and thus I agreed again. It’s just you need to do preparations for events and represent your class at the council. Mam asked for other one representative, her eyes roamed in search a guy.
It's our school policy that there should be one girl representative and other boy. And what if there isn’t anyone to take up for this? What do they think about it as? Gender equality? Does it bother anyhow to have two girl or two boy representatives.
My school is one of a kind!
Mam selected Alex, our one of the classmates but a too chaotic one! The bell rang indicating the end of the school and we all rushed once outside the door to leave.
First day ended….
