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 as he gathered some books.
I scoffed. Why would he be apologizing??
We both walked into each other and I'm practically at fault too. If I wasn't thinking so much about the weird stares from outside.
"Its fine" I muttered as we stood erect.
I noticed his bag was pretty huge and seemed to contain lots of things too.
Doesn't he have a locker or something?? Why take his book around like he has no direction?
"I'm Austin" He said reaching out for a handshake..
"Mykel" I responded not touching him just yet.
"You look new" He remarked staring at the blue suit like uniform I wore.
Oh..that reminds me, its Rissa's stupid favorite color.
"Yeah...first day" I added with a shrug.
"I'll direct you to the principal's office" He offered and I freaked.
He's being too nice! Could he be gay?
Oh...that would be so weird.
"No! I'll find my way myself. Better get to class" I said unconsciously speaking gibberish.
He chuckled.
"Alright. Good luck" He said and rushed out.
He was holding a physics and chemistry text book which means he must be a science students. He's eye glasses barely fit on his face which also means he started wearing the recently.
I don't think he's entirely a dork.
I proceeded down the hall with my hands in my pockets. What a neat school.
Rissa's pov:
"That guy is more than hot! Did you see his hair??? I would do anything to get a hair like that!" Alex screamed just as we settled down for classes.
"You're girl, Alex. You can't go around with such hairstyles" Zoe remarked and I scoffed.
Most times, Alex acts like her father never ran for mayor last year and isn't one of the wealthiest estate owners in the world. She's so uncool!
"Well...I admire his f***king eyes and pink lips. Imagine him staring at you with those two beauties. And the kissing you with those soft pink sweet lips, Geez!!!" Zoe giggled out.
"Seriously guys? We have three subjects this morning and all you can think about is some new Korean boy in school??" I groused irritated.
"Korean? How did you know he's Korean???" Alex and Zoe asked gazing at me.
Oh shreck! Me and my loud mouth.
Suddenly, a fresh wave of mind spinning cologne filled the air which got our nostrils dancing.
There's no doubt that he has walked in!
Lucas Forbes! The president's son!
He headed for his normal spot where he sits together with his friends.
There was no sign of his guards thereby giving us an opportunity to get enough of his good looks.
I tried to maintain and eye contact with him and it worked!
Lucas was staring directly at me for more than two seconds! For the first time ever!
Oh Lord!
He surprisingly smiled and winked at me.
Oh Heavens! Good goddess of Karma!
Is this really happening?
I quickly looked backwards to see if I was really the one he looked, smiled and winked at. I was right. It was ME.
I couldn't help but swoon excitedly.
I drew my attention to him again but too bad the staring section was over.
He had started talking with his friends.
"Who gives a d**n about Lucas now?? The new guy is now my heart's greatest desire. I'll do all I can to get pictures of him and attach it all in my bedroom" Alex bemoaned with excitement.
"Rissa still hasn't told us how she knew the new guy is a Korean" Zoe chimmed in and Alex concords.
I bit my lower lip as I thought of what to say. I don't want them to know Mykel's staying with us and I'm not used to lying to them either.
This is going to be hard!..
"I just guessed since his hair is that curly and his face...isn't it too obvious?" I asked pouting.
"I guess it is. You're so smart Rissa" Zoe commented and I smiled broadly.
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.
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
