Hehehe... Let's introduce the world's most opposite couples of the year. Scratch that. Frenemies of the year. The handsome and cute,suave intellectual, Bai Chen. He's not just your regular handsome young man. Yep, he's the number two heartthrob of the school who is a record breaker in academics and has a hidden identity and incomparable hacking skills. His shortcomings; he's really hopeless at sports. Next, the gorgeous number one school prince Ru Yehan who is impossibly excellent in all sports and games. With his aloof personality and scheming behaviour, he's more than enough to frustrate Bai Chen. His short comings;...well...um...I don't know if it is possible to get full zero scores in all exams papers but he has achieved it. Don't ask me how! The rules of Moonstone highschool states that all students attending the school must have to be academically and athletically good. What if you decided to "put" them to collaborate together? ... "Wo- w-work... w-with...him?!" Bai Chen stammered as he pointed at Ru Yehan who had a darkened expression on his face. "Yes... work together Mr Bai" The principal smiled jovially." Or you both can change your school because his grades are poor and you... you're not doing well in any sports at all." *Pfft! He almost practically knelt down on the floor. No! Working with this scheming nightmare was not what he had bargained for! He'll torture him and ruin his intellectual reputation! ... "I'll rather eat nails than teach you anything!" Bai Chen seethed. "And I'll rather see you do that than to coach you..." His smug and snickering voice responded. "You...!!" Bai Chen choked. ... But as they had to work together to make a balance between themselves,they discovered shocking and terrifying secrets they hide, which somehow, binds them together which threatens their lives.
Three years passed.
Location: China, city F, Moonstone highschool.
He walked through the hallway amidst all the stares of all the students that knew him. Some looked on in admiration. Some looked up in respect. While some looked up in infatuation. And some looked with envy.
They whispered amongst themselves as he passed by with his black bag slunged behind his straight back. The girls swooned at his chiseled face that seemed to be blessed by the heavens. Who could be so devastatingly handsome and intelligent? That was him. The star intellectual of the school.
With his white skin and stunning blue eyes which were behind his glasses, he was beyond cute. He was just about 170 cm tall and thin as the standard criteria for slim actors.
His hair had been dyed mint green- a colour that would have been appalling if one should try it but instead, it made him look like a manga character in everyone's fantasy.
" He's back from the holidays and is among the first to resume school! As expected of my idol!" A girl spoke to her companion.
" I know right! I just wanna be like him!"
" Look at his dressing...so neat and not a single thing out of place!"
" Hubby!"
" My dream man!"
"This is really worth it standing by the lockers! I wish that I was a class A student!"
"Psh! dream on girl!"
...
Ah... school...
A perfect place to learn. A place to develop skills and show talents. A place to stay away from nagging parents. A place to make your family proud of you.
A place for friendship, popularity,fun, loyalty and cooperation and socializing with everyone.
"Here Chu... have some strawberry scones I baked this morning. I assure you that it's delicious!" A pretty girl with dimples and freckles that seemed to alter her beauty smiled and opened her bento box to offer her food to her best friend.
The girl picked one and bit into it and was mesmerized by the sweetness and crispiness accompanied by the tenderly cream. Her eyes watered as they formed two crescents.
"Urghh! mhhh!...so good that I wanna cry! Shao Ran you have to teach me how to bake this!"
" I and my mom baked it from an old western baking book and this is my first baked product!" The brown haired girl, Shao Ran puffed up her chest with pride and Robert Chu laughed at the cute behaviour.
They were sitting in the school cafeteria with other students to have breakfast before the next classes. The atmosphere was lively and infectious as everyone were chatting about various things.
Some boys that sat close to Shao Ran's table looked at the scones trying to stop themselves from drooling over. So, Robert Chu passed some peices to them and they ate them.
" My gosh! this is really good!"
" Yeah! I want to stuff everything into my mouth but I don't want it to finish fast!"
" Shao Ran I'll pay you if you bake for me!"
" You're awesome!"
" I'm at lala land right now!"
" My taste buds are satisfied!"
" Mhm!"
Most of the students in the cafeteria turned their heads towards the situation at her table and that was when one of the girls in the cafeteria closed her powder mirror with a sharp snap and stood up walking towards the table. The place became silent.
Her wine coloured waist length hair bounced as she walked charismatically towards them,her black eyes narrowed just enough to make her look like a fox. She was the number one beauty of the school Ruby Chan.
Shao Ran shrunk her head meekly as she approached the table with her cronies. They were five in number. Ruby picked up one of the scones and examining it while lazily drawling.
" So... this is what you are proud to show off to everyone,eh?... it's really pathetic of you..."
She threw it on the ground muttering just loud enough for people to hear."Thrashy stuff that even stinks...who knows what she might have put inside"
Everyone snickered and her friends guffawed. Chu wanted to stand up and smack her face but Ran held her back. The boys who had eaten the scones earlier frowned but they couldn't just say anything. Ruby was the daughter of the principal of the school- anything she says would be done.
The Chan family were one of the wealthiest families in the city and although the Shao and other families were rich,they couldn't compare to the Chan family.
" I'll rather eat broccoli than this dirt! Please don't contaminate the environment with your weird stuffs and I don't care what you do but... stay away from the cafeteria when you see us" She spat out while pulling out a pink, watermelon scenting hand sanitizer to clean her hands. She really hated people who had everyone's attention even if it was little.
Suddenly, everyone heads turned to look at the door. A pair of strikingly handsome legs entered and they were granted a minty green head. The girls squealed as they saw him. Some gasped even though they've seen him countless of times.
Ruby turned and her eyes sparkled as a sweet smile blossomed on her face. Totally different from her attitude.
