Who’s that boy?

Chapter 2: Who's that boy?

After what seemed like an eternity of hearing all the school news about me and that boy I felt as if I was at the end of the world. The only thing I didn't want in this school was criticism and popularity. And guess what I have already found my way into a problem that I tend to avoid. But the thing is why is he so famous? Maybe because of his girlfriend. But I've heard people gossiping that he is one of the richest people in the world plus, Emerald stated that too. Now, I feel like I want to know more about him but I also don't want to destroy any relationship or something you know. That's when I saw him at a distance in the cafeteria. He was on his way to buy some food right beside me. He didn't even seem to notice me although my eyes were straight forward, looking at him. I froze and stood there as if I was frozen. I couldn't help myself but stand there speechless. "Am, excuse me," he said. "Uh sorry. But you're the one who pushed me earlier today right?" I asked him back to actually start a conversation this time. I knew that I have to take my chance right now and start to examine what was happening with him. I mean I am pretty and smart so, why is he avoiding me? There are no such reasons plus, I wanna know more about their relationship. Whether he's been controlled or not. It's just that I want to know okay? No other reasons. "I already did apologize to you. Is it not enough?" he replied. At this point, I knew he was a psychopath and a very cold-blooded organism. "Well, haven't you seen the news all over the school yet? We're literally trending right now and everyone's calling me a pick-me girl because they think I'm trying to steal you from your girlfriend, even though we've just met. So, if you don't solve these conflicts, I don't think your relationship will also be going well enough Mister cold-blooded guy," I replied as he smiled back with a grin. "Quite impressed, junior. I didn't know that a girl is able to make me impressed. I don't really care about my girlfriend or relationship. So, I'm gonna leave all the problems to you. Plus, it's not my fault that you're being called a pick-me. You aren't but the news will vanish in two days, I promise. By the way, my name is Jimmey, not Mr. cold-hearted guy." He replied. "That's interesting. I'm Pearl in case you might be wondering. And I don't want any problems with your girlfriend too so just tell her to leave me alone." I replied. "Well, not my part in that." He replied as he walks away smiling. That was kind of mean. But I feel like problems are gonna chase after me sooner.

Hours went by after lunch. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I don't know what's that supposed to be about but I am having butterflies right now. The first classes were damn hard. The teacher even told us that next month we will have to compete with our seniors about a case. So, the teacher would be choosing some junior students who would do very well next month. I hope I get picked. Because I sure do want to compete with my seniors which would be a ton of fun. Plus, I would know how smart that guy really is. He seems that he has lots of pride. "Hey, you fine?" Emerald asks. "Yeah, I am. That Jimmey is just bothering me in my head so bad right now." I replied. "That's strange. He doesn't talk to girls at all. Mostly because of his parents and his relationship. We all thought he was forced into that relationship." She replied. "That's kinda weird. But we have to study to get into the competition next month. I want to get in so bad like with my nerves." I replied. She just nodded as we sat in the library to do some studies. But so suddenly someone pulled my hair behind my back! I turned around and managed to push her back on the floor. "This girl is wild." She said. "Well, you started and even if you were recording the CCTV have no lie," I replied fixing my hair. "You better stay away from Jimmey or else," she said. "Oh so, you're his girlfriend? No wonder why I didn't recognize that because he deserves so much better. I bet your family forced you to date." I stated as her face turned so angry. "You better not mess up in our relationship." She shouted. "Why not? Not so sure that he likes you? Too bad you're challenging me right now. Plus, keep in mind that not only your family is rich." I replied as I called Emerald and walked away. "Hey, are you Pearl?" a boy shouted behind my back. "Yeah, I am. Who are you?" I asked. "I am Akuma. We are assigned to be together for the competition. Well, basically we are selected." he replied. "Oh seriously? That's good and bad at the same time." I replied. "Can't believe I have to work with a girl." He whispered although we all could clearly hear him. "So, shall we start, Akuma?" I asked.
