It undoubtedly was a school for the rich.
The entire premises had tall buildings flanking each other. The floor was made of marbles and everyone wore uniforms like mine.A white shirt tucked into a short plaid skirt, a while socks and black shoes. For the boys, it was a white shirt tucked into navy blue pants and tie.On the floor was the inscription"Welcome back to school." I was wrapped up in my thoughts, thinking the school wasn't bad at all , when I bumped into a solid wall that almost sent me spiraling to the floor but for my strong balance. I looked up, ready to cuss and found four pairs of eyes staring down at me.Four pairs of eyes that fit beautifully into perfectly chiseled faces stared back at me. Compared to the owners of these eyes I was a dwarf.They had bodies that could put an Abercrombie model to shame. I put out my hand instinctively to the one I'd run into to gain balance, only for him to shift stance, and I staggered forward.Thankfully, there was no student body around, cause it was definitely worth a laugh.Nice one Steyn. I congratulated myself. What better way was there to shame yourself on the first day in a new school.I picked whatever was left of my dignity and stood erect, regaining posture. I've never been so stupid in my entire life."Hi. I'm Steyn." I stretched out my hands for a warm handshake but was badly ignored."Watch where you're going next time, chap." The one with green eyes said.I squinted my eyes to look at him. Why was he sounding rude? It's not like I bumped into him. "There are polite ways to talk to people, you know." I reprimanded."Nobody cares." He muttered.I sighed, keeping my hands down."It's surprising tho. I bumped into him, not you. He's not even said a word yet, but you. I'm certain if it was you, we'll both be on the floor right now." I muttered."Careful what you wish for." He muttered, walking away with his dumb friend."Rich kids." I muttered and went the opposite direction.I walked down the hallway, map in hand, as I tried to locate my locker. Surprisingly, it wasn't as difficult to find as I'd thought. It had my full name sitting pretty on it.I opened it, dumped a perfume, books and a few pens before shutting it with a loud bang.That alone, earned me a few snickers. "Sorry," I apologized in my head. "Not trying to gather attention."My timetable fixed firmly in my hands, I stalked off to the homeroom.I managed to slip in the room as the teacher shut the door."Nice of you to join us." The young, fine looking man said.I sighed, scanning the entire room for a place to sit."I'm sorry sir." I replied apologetically and shrugged."Sorry for yourself." He replied, pointing to an empty seat.I walked towards it and sat my butt down. The feeling was heavenly."Finally." I muttered."You said something?" My partner asked."No." I replied, and turned to apologize but it ended up as a question. "So you speak?"He looked at me like I was out of my senses and shrugged. "That's supposed to be funny? Because, hahahaha, it's not."I smirked, that was weird. I was certain he was one of the guys from earlier. The one I'd bumped into."You can start by apologizing." He looked at me, suddenly finding his biro amusing. I furrowed my brow and shook my head. "I tried to already, but your right hand man wouldn't let me." I reminded him."You didn't try hard." He replied."Maybe if you'd said something, it would have been better. All you did was play dumb, and look, I've coined a name for you." I spoke up.I don't know what part of my statement was funny, but he laughed."And what's it?" He asked."Dumb friend." I replied."God, you didn't." He said, running a hand over his face, like he was embarrassed.He was cute when he did that."Found something funny, Walker?" The teacher asked."There should be some sort of Thanksgiving." He smirked. "Looks like your class might become interesting after all, Mr. Darius."The entire class burst out laughing and I just felt bad for our teacher.High school never lacked drama, I thought. It didn't matter if it was a school for rich kids or poor kids."Walker?" I turned to him for clarity." Walker." He confirmed, not bothering to ask for mine.I felt bad."I'm Steyn." I told him. "Even if you didn't ask."Page 364." He said instead and after a while added, "Steyn."I brought out my hand for a shake, but he just sat there , looking from my face to my hand, over again and finally to his book.It was brutal.I quietly withdrew my hand, and zeroed in on my book."Stupid people everywhere." I muttered."You said something?" He said, bringing his head a little too close for my comfort."None that I can remember." I replied, my voice coming out as harsh and a little bit forced. Whatever, I thought and shrugged it off.I watched him take out his phone and start tapping on it, from the corner of my eyes.He had two long legs, stretched out on my front desk. The guts!!!This guy didn't have any respect. Not even a bit. At this point, I felt a little bit of what the teacher felt when I turned around and discovered that half the class population was doing one thing or the other that wasn't related to the lesson in anyway.I sneered and turned around. Homeroom wasn't that boring, was it?.The last thing I thought about was of me dancing in the rain.WALKER"You said something?" I asked the petite girl sitting next to me."No." She turned to say but realizing whom it was her eyes bulged."So you speak?" She asked.I picked offence, feeling insulted."That's supposed to be funny, because, hahahaha it's not funny." I replied."You can start by apologizing." I said to cover up for sounding rude."I already tried to, but your right hand man wouldn't let me." She said furrowing her brows and shaking her Head."You didn't try hard." I told her."Maybe if you'd said something, it'd have been better. All you did was play dumb, and look, I've coined a name for you." She told me, spiking my interest.I laughed at the way she kept her face, her small lips, forming a pout."Dumb friend." She said, inciting more laughter from my end.That was absurd, honestly. I don't think anyone has ever called me dumb, ever. Except maybe, Luke, my best friend."You didn't." I said, running a hand over my face."Found something funny, Walker?" Darius, the En
STEYN"Nice of you to join us, Steyn Robert." The bored looking middle aged woman sang, the minute I stepped foot in Biology class. "I heard you make it a habit of going to class late."I shrugged. "I'm a new student ma. I'm not supposed to know all the hallways on my first day at school. I'm sorry all the same." "Such a rattle mouth!" She muttered under her breath. "Before you sit, you'll answer one question, if you can't, you'll stand outside till my class it's over."I shrugged and just kept mute."What substance is the hardest in the human body?" She asked."The dentine." I smirked. "The dentine is the hardest substance in the body of a mammal. Can I sit now?" "Ofcourse." She smiled. "Take the seat by Mr. Dawson.'"A new nerd?" Someone cajoled from the back."Should we tell her about Emily houston?" Someone else piped in.For whatever reason that last comment, incited bouts of laughter from the whole class.I clenched and unclenched my fist. They didn't know the kind of stuff I
GYMHonestly, what would I do without my map? I thought as I maneuvered my way, trying to locate the ladies locker room, when I stumbled into someone."Hello." I called out to her, "I think I'm lost.""Oh! Hi." She replied smiling. "Where are you headed?""The ladies locker room. I have gym in like ten minutes." I said, secretly admiring her long legs and auburn hair.She had warm hazel eyes and spotted freckles on her cheeks. Her nose were long and pointed, I wondered what her boyfriend went through whenever they tried to kiss. he probably had long nose like hers, I though and shrugged."Right." She grinned, drawing my attention to the braces she wore. "I'm headed there too. My name's Ruby.""I'm Steyn." I replied, thinking of how nice she sounded. "Nice to cross paths with you, Ruby.""I know your name." She smiled. "You probably didn't notice, but we shared the same homeroom and biology class together.""Not to make you feel bad." I said apologetically, after trying unsuccessfully
RUBYThe first thing you'll probably notice about this girl was her height. I'd call it average, rather than tall.She was very pretty and smiled brightly. She had long black hair and an athletic body.She was free spirited and outgoing. My brothers would like this one, I thought.I was a bit surprised when she said she had not yet heard about the Grace's of Gryffindor.Nobody said that. I found this very interesting.The whole school knew about the Grace's of Gryffindor. Not only were they popular, they were the most handsome of all the guys in Gryffindor. To think they where my brothers. I shrugged it off, like it was some forbidden thought."Gryffindor is made from a long line of royalties. It's like a generational thing." I told her. "I'm mostly confused about it myself.""I'm sure I won't get confused." She replied, doing the high plank ."You've met walker?" I asked her."I have. We technically bumped into each other in the worst ways ever." She replied.I grinned, knowing what

STEYN."Today has to be one of the most confusing days of my life." I told Ruby, the frown lines on my face deepening to form wrinkles.Dragging my feet off to class was the second hardest thing I had to do today, because when Ruby and I got to the classroom, it felt like an eternity had passed.Thirdly, I couldn't concentrate.Snippets of my conversation with Ruby kept ensuing in my head.Right.People had history and culture, but this? Why would anyone name their children Walker I, Walker II, III, IV ,V?"WAIT!" I bursted out earning a few not so friendly stares my way and even Mrs. Bleuming paused whatever it was she was scribbling on the board."Yes, Steyn? You have an issue with what's on the board?" She asked, looking from the board to me."No." I replied hastily.She continued her scribbling, providing me with an opportunity to ask Ruby the pressing question in my mind."Let's say your parents are infatuated with Walker, which of course, they're not." I said, setting the pace fo
sweethearts.it's been such a long time, almost to infinity.Finally, we're here. Wining Walker is quite going to be a beautiful and complicated read. You can already feel it like I do, right?

STEYN Reminiscing, I made myself a cup of coffee and took it upstairs to my room to calm down my nerves.Fact about this thing called life is that you'll always meet people that differ. There would always be that one person who'd change you, the one who'd challenge you, one with a different perspective of everything you stand for.Whatever the situation was, letting myself get bullied wasn't among the plan. I was always the wrong person to be picked on.My legs raised high enough to reach the roof, I giggled, talking with Kylie over the phone."You slapped someone?" Kylie asked for the third time in seconds, like it was something unfathomable."I didn't think it would happen on my first day at school." I confided. "Think of it as a necessary evil.""Can you go over what led to this scene again?" Kylie pleaded."I won't." I replied curtly. "You're so into anything that's gossip." "This one is different. You just have some drama in your life after complaining nonstop about that place.
