1 You are my Slave

Tristan's Point of View

"An honor student from a public school?" I ask curiously to my secretary Maxwell

"Yes, Mr. Tristan... A honor student tries to apply to enter our school. You can tell he is smart by looking at his credentials" Maxwell explained and he gave the academic report of this new student.

A honor student who has the guts to enter a prestigious school like ours... How interesting.

"What are we gonna do Mr. Tristan" Maxwell asked looking at me waiting for my orders.

I'm the son of the president of board directors of Empire State Academy and my words is like a law for everyone.

This honor student gets my attention...

"I think let's consider him studying in our school... I will give him the Tristan Ashford's family assistance for his whole High School Life" I declared and after that Maxwell bow to me and leave my office.

Charles Evans... I wonder what kind of guy you are, I'm amazed he actually tried to study in this school.

.

As ussual after I exited my car I head straight to my classroom.

I open the door enters the room and head straight to my sit in front of the class.

Cloe is staring at me like she always does... Honestly why did she like me at the first place?

"Tristan!" A familiar voice called my name.

I turn to see it is Daemon my best friend walking towards me.

He's here? It is rare for him to come to class.

Daemon is intelligent in his field. He only attend class if it is a must so this is really surprising.

"Good Morning Daemon" I said and he stare at me with confusion.

Why does he look like that?

"Did something good happens to you? You greet me... It is unusual" Daemon said now with a smile and he seats in his place.

This guy is really amazing he can really tell what Am I feeling more than I can tell myself. Scary.

"Maybe" I said and he smirked afterward.

Maybe, I'm excited to meet the transferee student?

Daemon is a genius in a different way. He's the only one who didn't annoy me.

"By the way Sora, did you heard about the heir of the Wright's?" Daemon bring up a random topic.

"Wrights? Never heard of them and why bought them out of nowhere" I said and he smiled.

"Actually I'm searching some random files and I just found them. I thought they where interesting" Daemon explained

"Tell me" I said and he put his chair near my table.

"The Wrights are the most popular when it comes to Health back then... They hold the largest chain of hospitals and on the top of that they are known worldwide for their Financing Institutions" Daemon said looking so interested.

"Really?... Wait, what do you mean back then?" I asked curiously

It is rare for me to didn't know such an important family...

There is a reason I know...

"Back then because The family of Wrights died because of a fire ten years ago" Daemon said

"They vanished?" They died?

"Nope... Many says they hide... He hides to be exact" Daemon added

"Is it about the heir?" I asked

I'm getting interested about this too.

"Yup... They say the only son of the Wrights' is still alive but he is too young that's why they hide him... Rumor said that he is near to be exposed because he going to turn 16 this year" Daemon said

After hearing waht Daemon said, I just thought that kind of story is really dramatic and most of all idealistic. How can a six year old boy survive in a fire when his family all died. And on top of that I wonder how can a little boy can keep all of his money and property so that it can't be seen and stolen by other realtives or people.

"You don't believe?" Daemon asked giving me frown.

"Absolutely... That's something that is made up..." I whisper and after my words the teacher enter the room.

"Yeah, I can agree with you in that subject but remember I never tell lies" Daemon said and after that the Teacher enters the room.

He agree with me but still tells me the story.

"Good Morning Class" Ms. Thompson said

"Today is quite a memorable day for all of us since there is someone special will join our class" Ms. Thompson said and smiled

"What is it Ms. Thompson? An artist? A popular musician? Or another heir of a big company?" Haily asked looking all excited

"Nope. She's a scholarship student" Ms. Thompson said and all looked suprised and disappointed.

Yeah... They will.

"Who pays the tuition of the beggar?" Haily asked now looking annoyed.

"Me" I answered and they all looked confused

Yes they will be... I'm not kind to give a scholarship without any reason.

They kept quiet because of my answer and the transferee student enters.

"You can enter now Mr. Evans." Ms. Thompson said and a guy wearing plain clothes enter the room.

He looks awful...

(Charles has an Ash blonde hair that is quite curly and wearing prescription glasses)

He is wearing a plain shirt and pants and he has a color green backpack.

Well the school is not requiring students to wear uniform but it is somehow a status of sort.

Anyone can tell he is poor.

"A dweeby?" Briana said while laughing.

Most of the students laught after her.

I looked at the transfer student. Is he now sad, scared or pissed?

"Good Morning everyone, I'm Charles Evans and it's my pleasure to meet you all" He introduce himself without a care of his surrounding.

Is he ignoring them? Probably. Somehow it makes me think he dont care.

He got some good way of socializing with people huh?

Interesting

The bell rung and the class took the lunch break.

Students go to their respective "friends?" And talk to them nonsense.

This is getting annoying.

The transfer student stood up like he is looking for someone.

He is alone is he looking for friends?

"Um... Who is Tristan Ashford?" Charles asked to everybody in the room.

Why is he looking for me? Anyway let's see why is he looking for me.

"That would be me why?" I asked and he walked towards me.

So he wants to talk.

Everyone in the room is looking... Well it can't be helped I'm popular.

"What do you want in exchange for your help?" Charles asked staring at me, well at least I think I'm not looking at him because he is an eyesore wearing those clothes.

"If I say I want you to be my slave will you do it?" I asked and I smirked now facing him.

I didn't notice earlier his eyes are different in color. First time I saw that.

Of course I'm joking when I tell him I want him to be his slave.

"I can do it... How long?" He replied fast as he can with a straight face.

Seriously?

This guy there is something about him that is making curious, he so brave to always face something... Well he is also an idiot on the other hand.

He accepted that ridiculous condition, I might as well enjoy it.

"For a year can you stand it?" I said staring to him.

It feels like we are fighting by just staring at each other.

He pause for a while... and turn his head

Will he accept such a ridiculous request? Though he already said he will.

"Alright... " He said and bow his head.

After his answer everyone in the room starts murmuring. I forgot that we are still in the classroom.

They gossiping about him being my slave.

I look at him and it seems like he didn't give a damn.

He ignoring all of them completely.

Its kind of refreshing.

I settle down in my seat after a few minutes of our conversation.

"You got a slave" Daemon giggle as he tap my shoulder and leave.

Yeah I just got a slave.

I looked at him.

"Bring me an espresso coffee... " I said ordering him

For my first order this is easy.

He nodded and I gave him my wallet

"Anything else?" he asked

"Nothing else" I replied

He change his tone completely when talking to me.

He so polite I can even picture him as a maid.

Why a maid doesnt he will made a butler first?

Nevermind.

He is nice in the background but is he trustworthy?

Let's see if he can resist the tempt of money first before I accept him as someone to serve me or he will just be my toy.

After a few minutes he came back.

Actually he is slow... It doesn't take that long to buy some coffee. He is a guy he can be faster.

As I look at him he looks a lot more awful than earlier. His clothes are wet.

Probably because he got bullied.

That's not surprising.

"Here is your Coffee" He said and look at mez

"Is there anything you want to ask?" He added and he gave me my wallet.

I look at the wallet and I count it.

The amount is just right... He didn't get anything.

"If you don't need anything else can I take my leave and eat my lunch?" He said and look at me.

"Lunch... I want to eat also... Take me with you" I said and he look quite surprised. This is a first.

I stood up and I followed him into the garden.

"Why we are here? Aren't we going to eat in the cafeteria?" I asked and he shook his head.

"I bought lunch... It is much convenient this way" He said and he let out a boxed lunch.

"And what do you think I will eat?" I asked and he showed another one.

"Here?" He said and give it to me.

"Why you have two bento? That's weird" I said and he smiled.

"Can I talk casually to you? I'm having hard time speaking so politely to be honest" He said and look at me waiting for an answer.

Well to be honest also I hate his polite way of speaking... Feels like I'm talking to a robot.

"You can speak and talk normally... It is not like I asked you to do that you do that on your own" I said

"Really? Then that's great." He said

"Earlier in the morning I thought that some 'kind' rich guy is giving me a scholarship so I thought of him paying back even just a little so I made extra lunch... but it turned out that the guy I thought that is kind is not that kind of a man." He said making me quite pissed

Woah this is cool he actually looked pissed, I cant help but laugh.

"Can you actually think you can pay just by cooking lunch?" I asked and he look at me.

"Why not? There are actually people who likes to be treated normally right?" he said and start eating.

Treated normally right?

"Are you seducing me?" I asked

Wow I'm also shocked in my words. He is a man.

"Are you seduced?" He asked while smiling sarcastically.

Seriously what did I just said.

"Nope" I answered trying to be normal again.

" Are you gay?" He asked while eating.

"I'm not" I answered

"Really?" He said

What was that?

"Aren't you going to eat?" He asked while eating

I take a bite and surprisingly it taste good.

It is delicious? Is this really commoner's food?

I look at her as he continue eating.

"You said you made this right? I think it is delicious" I said complimenting him

"Really? and he take a bite again" He said

He should be grateful I complimented him. I only ussually eat foods from award winning chefs.

"You guys are rich right? Aren't you exhausted?" He asked out of nowhere.

Is he trying to make a conversation?

"Exhausted of what?" I asked

"Exhausted of being a fake... Your world is full of lies" He said and I unintentionally smiled.

This guy is so honest I can't help it.

"You're so honest it is kind of a refreshing feeling for me you know" I said and he stares at me.

"Your right it is really a world full of lies but no one cares as long they can live with their desires and dreams..." I said and I continue to eat.

He continue eat quietly

Interesting... He is really interesting...

"You're also an honest person compared to others" She said and stare at me seriously

"Is that a compliment or an insult?" I asked wondering

"What do you think?" He answers me with a question.

After that talk we both ate quietly.

"Lunch time is done we should get going" I said and he stood up and for a moment I got annoyed on his looks.

"Why?" He asked confused.

"Can't you at least buy some decent clothes?" I asked looking at his clothes

"I don't want to... It is not needed" He answered straightforward

"But I don't like you walking with me with that kind of clothing... Maybe someday this week I will take you to our personal dressmaker and force you to wear some decent clothes" I said and he frowned at me.

"It would cost a lot" He said looking annoyed.

"Then it is free" I said and now he is glaring at me.

"Then that's more awful... I hate getting things free" He said and I gave him a confused look.

"Are you an idiot? For a poor guy like you, you should be grateful for all the things that you can receive. Its making your life easier" I said trying to lecture him.

"But you know, everything that you got easily disappears quite quickly. That's how our world works" He said now.

We are still in the garden and I can feel the breeze so easily. It touches my skin softly and gives me chills... But while I'm staring at him right now it feels like he's someone I should be careful dealing with.

No that's ridiculous... I'm the King and He is just my slave.. There is no way I'm going to be swayed by something like that.

"I'm glad your actually an interesting person but because your just my slave and I'm giving you orders for my own pleasure and convenience. Just obey me because that's what you are supposed to do." I said and now he looked at me with his different colored eyes.

He became quiet for second

"Of course... " He said and bow

I look at him while he is still bowing

"Good, now be prepared because I'm the King... " I said and walk towards the exit

He followed me slowly and while we are walking silence is on us.

I don't hate it though...
