Rissa's pov:
The school was heavily guarded with top security officers and marshalls. This was because the only kids that attended the school belonged to a wealthy and influential families.
The principal wouldn't want to risk a student being kidnapped or attacked under her watch. Before a car drives into the school, it must be searched thoroughly and every individual would be scanned of weapons of any kind.
My car arrived at the school gate before Mykel's. I refused to ride to school with him so mom had another car prepared for him.
I'm trying so hard to accept the fact that he would be staying with us for months despite the fact that he is from jail.
It's not a good thing, it never is.
Probably, He's pretending to be quiet and self reserved but inside, He's a fire breeding dragon...
Mykel's pov:
We finally passed through the check point and believe me, it took a lot out of me to allow them touch me. Usually, I get too stubborn to do stuff even though I need to do it.
I picked up the nice black leather schoolbag Rissa's mom gave to me. It contained two notebooks and a few stationeries. She said i would get more things this weekend at the mall.
I just can't wait to go out again and see the world. I've been locked up for three years.
"You're so beautiful kid. You look like a girl" The driver said smirking at me from the front mirror.
I kept mute and hung the bag across my shoulders.
"Do you need to get a haircut? I can take you after school..."
"I'm Korean" I replied coldly and he snapped.
"Oh! I knew you weren't from America. You hair, pink lips and eyes... You are one fine boy!" He exclaimed clearly stunned.
A short smile crept on my lips.
I guess I'm lucky then.
"What's with you and the young miss - Rissa?? Seems like she doesn't like you. What did you ever do to her?" He asked turning to look at me.
I was about to respond when I heard a tapping at the tinted glass window of the car. I looked and saw Rissa tapping the glass with a pen.
"Bye" I muttered to the driver and opened the door. I quickly stepped out to meet her.
"I hope you find your way on your own. As you can see, I'm not your babysitter. And you'll be making a big mistake by telling people that you're in anyway related to me, alright?"
And with that, she turned and walked away.
I chuckled quietly.
She has no idea how annoying she sounds.
I adjusted the strap of the bag and started walking to where I think, is the main building.
Its so gigantic like some royal palace or something. Anyways, I've seen better.
A group of girls walked past me and they stopped laughing like they were a second ago, rather their eyes stuck to me like they wanted to eat me up.
It made me feel kind of uncomfortable.
I kept moving and throwing slow steps.
Two girls ambled past and their expression was much worse than the other set of girls. One of them almost tripped from staring at me.
I kept walking with my bag as innocent as i was. This time, it was just one girl with opened chest. I could even see half of her b***bs. Surprisingly, she winked at me and continued walking.
Eww. This people are making me feel nervous. Whats with the stares, huh??
Could there be any person here In their right mind to help me out??!
I need to find the principal's office first.
I would have told Rissa if not for the fact that she hates me. I'm sure she'd direct me to the toilet instead of the principal's office.
Some boys and girls wearing lab coat sauntered past and the same shocked face emerged.
Geez! This doesn't seem normal.
I suddenly stopped walking when I sensed something unusual. I slowly turned backwards and my eyes dimmed.
The whole students clustered around staring at me.
And the most I could see were girls.
What the shreck?
This is super awkward!

Rissa's pov:Mykel looked shy and nervous. The entire students around fixed their eyes on him like he was some alien or something.Alex and Zoe weren't an exception.Jesus Christ!! This is getting too much.If only they knew he has been in a juvenile detention center for years. They wouldn't even let him get into this school. Mykel's pov:I summoned courage and turned away from the multiple eyes that had me roped.I needed to keep me moving. Otherwise, I'd go crazy.I bumped into a boy on my way in who had glasses on. He's hair was curly and thick and you'd almost think he's an Indian.My eyes dropped to his books that has crashed on the floor. We both stooped to pick it up at the same time.At least he's not staring at me like I had two heads."Sorry, I wasn't looking" He said, his hands shaking
Mykel's pov:I was so glad that I wasn't classmates with Rissa. My classroom was right next to hers just like our bedrooms.My new classroom is quiet and we barely up to ten. Just the way I wanted it.I took a seat at the back row before setting out the contents in my schoolbag.Rissa's mom also mentioned getting a new cellphone just for me. As much as I would like being under her care, I would also want to return back to Korea.I can't stay here forever neither do I need to adjust to this life.Its not going to end and from the way I see it, Rissa's going to get me into trouble with her awkward hatred for me.I felt a tap on the shoulder and I looked to see who it was. Oh! Austin.What's he doing here??"Seems like we are both in makeup class" He chimed into my thoughts."Makeup class??" I asked curiously."Yeah...this class is made es
Mykel's pov:"I'm serious, let's go" Austin groused persistently.The boys had already noticed my presence and they quickly stopped torturing the girl.She gathered her wears and ran off with tears allover her face. I sighed and took my coat from Austin.The boys started leaving and were practically hiding their faces.That's not usual. I was expecting them to pick a fight. Its been a while since I exercised my knuckles.We hurried up and left the place after using the restroom. Lunch time must be over by now."Do you wanna know why they left you?" Austin asked sauntering behind me."They thought I must be the son of someone important so before they attack, they'd find out my background to avoid their father to loose their jobs" I replied and his jaw dropped."You're so smart, bro! That's totally the reason. This school is full of weirdos. Poor girl. Imagine what would

Rissa's pov:"Don't be silly, Rissa. Its not nice to lie against someone" Mom replied giving me a scalding stare.Mykel obviously felt embarrassed and he inserted his hands in his pockets."I wasn't staring ma'am" He muttered under his breath and mom sighed."I know dear, Rissa's just making things up. Let's go now" She said and started leaving for the door."You're crazy, do you know that?" Mykel whispered glaring at me.I rolled my eyes as we left the house together. (An hour later)The mall wasn't so rowdy but there were a lot of people around. We each pushed our shopping cart together and picked what we wanted.Mom kept taking yoghurts and ice creams while Mykel picked up some things that he'd be needing for school.I don't even care what he takes!We were almost done when mom decided we

Rissa's pov:As much as I hated mom's outfit today, I still loved how cheerful she was in making sure I enjoyed the day just like she promised.Okay, I should be happy for her. I mean, most women get extremely fat after giving birth but mom's lucky to still maintain the s3xy look.The attention she was getting from people were just giving me the creeps.So, Mykel got his own fortune cookie. I watched him unfold it and scanned through the note with his eyes.He smiled and put into his side pocket.I wish I could read what's written in there.Mom unwrapped hers too and chuckled."What does it say mom?" I asked her curiously."It states here that 'something good is about to happen' Thats good, isn't it?" She replied and asked smiling."I don't know. It sounds depressing" I shrugged and she laughed.
Rissa's pov:My plan is kind of going as planned. Mykel wants to come along with me. Anything to get out of this boring house.We got to the red car and I handed him the car keys."I thought you wanted to drive" He said staring at the keys."Yes...but I want you to drive first. Like they say, gentlemen first..." I said nervously.He shrugged and got into the driver's seat while I hopped into the back.He started the car and revised from the lot it was parked. He drove the lengthy way to the big gate and the gatemen observed the car for a while before opening up the gate; they pressed the button that'd made the gates to part.The car was tinted so I didn't worry about them spotting me in the car.Great! Mykel drove past smoothly and into the road.My plan's working! I knew that the security guards won't let me drive the car out so I just used Mykel to get past.
