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 especially for students who are trying to get into a new class without formerly being members of this school. Once you pass the special exam coming up, you get promoted into the original class" He explained.
I smiled.
Passing the examination won't be a problem.
*Oh my!* I heard some voices and glanced at the three girls sitting at the front row.
They were totally gazing at me and they weren't shy at all.
Rissa should come see this.
I quickly chuckled at the thought.
I wonder why she's so pissed off about having me around.
"You're so good looking. Are you sure you wanna go to school? Private lessons are pretty affordable" Austin blurted.
"I have no choice" I replied dryly.
Rissa's pov:
"...Imagine building a house that's actually shaped like a pineapple" Alex chipped and we all laughed.
"You're crazy!" I teased.
She smiled and covered her plate.
The cafeteria was occupied with students moving up and down, only few were settled around a table eating.
Thats how it is during lunch time.
Suddenly, a group of girls walked in attracting so much attention that we had to look.
"Madison and her minions" Zoe groused rolling her eyes.
"I'm thinking of quitting gymnastics. Its not fair that our efforts are not being recognized and Madison is always at the spotlight" Alex complained and I sighed.
"I'm not gonna stop you from leaving, Alex. Its your choice but someone's got to put an end to this Madison madness. I'm gonna keep showing her that she's not the best as she claims she is" I added surly.
Alex and Zoe smiled.
"You can do this, Rissa".
Madison and her slaves walked past our table. We share a brief eye contact but she doesn't react. She went on her way to the counter.
Thats how it has always been.
We don't exchange words but we are great enemies. I don't know what made her have cold and cruel feelings towards me and she has been showing it the little ways she can and I needed no soothsayer to tell me that she hates me.
"So, about the new Korean guy whom we have no idea what his name is - I have plans of taking photos of him" Alex giggled.
"God! Give me a break! You're being so immature Alex" I bickered.
"What do you expect? I'm sixteen for God's sake!" She mumbled.
"Well...good luck with that" I grumbled, busy stirring the spaghetti on the plate.
My phone beeped underneath the purse I held. I brought it out as it continuously vibrated.
It was a notification from I*******m, thus;
>>Lucas Forbes followed you!<<
Oh my God!!!
I screamed like a little girl.
Lucas Forbes followed me!
"What's wrong?" Zoe asked concerned.
"Did somebody die??" Alex added and I couldn't help but laugh.
"No, silly! Lucas Forbes just followed me on I*******m---"
"Aargh!!!" They both screamed which definitely brought attention from all sides of the cafeteria.
But hold on....Why???
Mykel's pov:
Austin and I were starting to talk much better. He couldn't leave me alone for one second and was eager to help me out with anything at all.
He also helped save me from a group of girls that wanted to hug the light out of me. Two of the girls even engaged in a fight just to hold my hand.
Since I wouldn't want that to repeat itself, I took another route that led to the restroom.
Austin was the one doing the leading while I followed quietly.
"This place looks different" I mumbled feeling quite uncomfortable.
"Actually, this is the old restroom. People no longer come down here...but it's still good as new" He replied excitedly.
We got to the door and the first thing that welcomed us was the voice of a girl wailing.
"I think we should go" Austin whispered taking my hand.
I declined and went ahead to open the door. My fist tightened around the knob as a live show went on in front of me.
A girl was pinned to the wall and was being stripped forcefully off her clothes by three boys at a time. She keeps struggling to get away but they wouldn't let her.
"Mykel, let's go. Please!" Austin pleaded in more whispers.
I slowly pulled off my jacket and handed It to Austin who took it immediately.
"Find me a stick" I whispered and his face dropped.

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.
Rissa's pov:Mykel removed my hand from his shirt and it covered up the tattoo.I knew it! He's a bad person.He's just pretending for now but very soon, he'd start carrying out his evil plans against our family.If he was so righteous like mom claimed, why would there be a tattoo on his skin?"You're pathetic, make sure you don't come close to me ever again!" I rasped and he glanced at me.He didn't utter a word and took his eyes back on the road."Drama queen" He muttered and I gasped.Wait...is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment? (At the mansion) Mykel's pov:I laid on my bed staring at the ceiling. I had almost forgotten there was a complex tattoo drawn around my body.I was forced to get it.And now Rissa's gonna tell the whole
(Sunday night) Mykel's pov:Rissa and I sat together at the living room watching a movie. She insisted to watch her favorite cartoon and I'm forced to join her.It would be boring if I retired to my bedroom.She cuddled her teddy bear with pineapple sitting beside her. Her hair is neatly packed and she's kinda beautiful.I decided to stare at her instead than watching the movie.The exam would be coming up soon and I'm prepared to write it.Her mom said if I failed the exam, I would have to register into another school.My phone had been ringing so I switched it off. Different girls have been calling and there's no doubt it's Austin that gave them my contact.I'm gonna deal with him tomorrow."I'm going to bed. Enjoy your pathetic movie alone" I said getting up from the couch."I hope you ha
