Chapter 3

Warning (suicidal thoughts) 

Ian POV

'Hipee it's my first day at Everest high, it is going to be very fun' I thought to myself sarcastically

Coming to Everest high was one of my parent's tactics to make me 'unbored'

Why? Why would they try to make me unbored ? 

It is because i am bored with everything, family, school, social life, and life itself. Everything!

I have nothing interesting or intriguing to do in life anymore because i basically have everything one could wish for in life, good looks, intelligence, money, good family, a good social life, talent, and skills

What else could one ask for?

There is nothing to strive for again

To curb my boredom, I learnt all the music instrument I could lay my hand on and honed them to perfection, well, what do you expect from someone who had been learning instruments since the age of three. I also practiced martial arts but stopped halfway because I got bored of it, tried sports; nothing special about it, gaming, novels, watched anime, went to places around the world for holiday, and had lots of short-term relationships. But I got bored by all of it as usual.

I also won thousands of academic awards, well, thousands is an exaggeration, but they were a lot and also, I am the heir of one of the top company in the world, well, it is among the top five hundred. Trust me, it isn't special as it sounds like.

I could go on rambling about all that I had achieved and all the things I had tried, I guess I could be called a genius and a rich one for that matter, but I hated it, I despised it, I despised that genius title, I despise that I was given birth to in an extremely wealthy family because at the end of the day, it left me with nothing to strive for. My life became worse after I realized that at the end of this all, what awaits me is death.

I might sound like some edgy teen, but it is an undisputable fact that death is inevitable, death is something that no human, no living thing could escape

After this realization, I started contemplating suicide; why wait for death when I could just go to it? Unfortunately, my suicide attempts have one way or the other being disrupted and because of this, my parents took me to countless therapists in other to change my outlook of life and guess what?

Nothing changed

So to help me change my ideology and overcome my boredom, they started doing a lot of things to keep me interested in life, which obviously never worked. My mum then somehow concocted a crazy and dumb idea in which since I had been living in the upper echelons of the society since the day I had been brought to this world, maybe if I became a normal, average person then I might actually be interested in the life of a normal, average man.

I somehow got really interested in this idea, maybe why I was like this was because I had never lived a normal life.

 However, I was wrong

My parents messed up the whole plan. They told the school authorities my identity and told them to treat me well, but that they shouldn't tell the students who I was.

Way to go mum and dad

What is the point if I don't get into trouble, get into detention, get the teachers to scold me or something

What is the point?!!!

Besides that, immediately I got to the class I was assigned to with the class teacher, what's his name again? Mr Watson or something like that, I felt the usual worshiping and envy gaze all over me.

Why?!!!! 

Why must they all look at me like that? I know I'm handsome, but it's not like I'm the most handsome man in the world, and besides, I made sure to make myself pretty normal when I was preparing for school.

Why must they look at me like that? 

I'm already sick of it

However, something caught a bit of my interest 

At the back of the class was a girl who looked pretty, pretty..... Wet??? 

Her clothes and hair were sticking on her body

As for why she ended up like that..... 

It's none of my business

But at that particular moment, it seemed like some sort of magical light reflected on her, highlighting her rough pale skin, and her chapped pink lips as her dirty blonde hair fluttered in sync due to the light breeze that passed through the window. She was pretty thin to cause her flesh could be seen acting as thin clothing for her bones because her 206 bones could easily be counted with just a glance. 

But that was not what caught my interest at all

Unlike the others, instead of gazing at me with worship she just glanced at me and looked away

She looked away!!!!! 

Finally!!! I've found a normal human in this accursed world.

But what was with that cold expression on her face?

It's a bit intriguing

It would actually be fun melting the ice and seeing what truly lies underneath

Maybe my stay won't be too bad after all

...... 

Anne POV

I looked at Ian who was still smiling at me

'Bro, you know you've gotten me into deep shit right??? Why didn't just sit with Julie '

I turned away as quickly as I could, still keeping my calm expression but inside of me was very turbulent

He tapped my back again 

'Ignore him'

And again

'Ignore him'

And again

'Ahhhh, leave me alone' I mind flipped a table and shot a glare at him

And again

"What? " I asked him coldly 

"Hi, I am Ian your new desk mate, what is your name? " 

"Anne"

I better answer him or he is gonna keep disturbing me

Infuriating Brat

"It's nice to meet you Anne" His smile became wider, exposing a set of white pearly teeth which shone out a blinding light

'Stop smiling so widely ahhh, I know you have nice sets of teeth, but It's not nice to meet you ahh'

"Nhn" I hummed in response

"I'm under your care then" He said and brought out his phone and started playing with it, indicating that the conversation was over

'Who needs care here? Tch, it was obviously me'

And that's it?? He kept tapping me just to say 3 sentences to me? 

Well, that's a good thing

Shivers

I could feel all the envious and evil gaze of all the girls in the class

'I'm soo dead'

...... 

Finally! It was time for lunch.

I dashed to the cafeteria, quickly took my food and walking to my table, my 'me' table

I was glad that it was lunchtime time because I was able to got to the school doctor office and change my bandages. Funny enough, the school doctor, Mr James, thought the new injuries was as a result of the bullying and kept cursing at Julie and Jason and also, I felt suffocated back in the class, it was like I was about to be murdered, and it was all that new kid fault. 

Why did he reject Julie? 

Why did he have to sit behind me? 

Why did he greet and smile at me? 

If it was 2 years ago I could have been really happy to have someone do all that to me, to smile at me, but after all I've experienced, I don't need all those shit because it's going to make my bad life worse 

Or maybe…. Was he just joking with me? 

Crashhhh

"Ahhh!!! You just ruined my dress!!! "Julie shrieked loudly

Ohh shit

I was so lost in thought that I just had to crash into Julie and her gang, and my food splashed all over her

God save me

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it" I managed to spit out some words

Julie looked angrier after my apology, it seemed she was still mad at what happened in class cause anytime I apologized she always had this smirk on her lips but presently, it wasn't there

"Shut up bitch! Your mouth stinks" she pressed the tip of her nose with her fingers, "When did you brush last, last year or something?"

I could hear small chuckles all around me

My lips pressed into a thin line

"Don't you know that this dress can buy your whole life? "Julie scorned after getting a reaction from me

"Yes..... I know it can".

My life was worth nothing right now, I don't care about my pride or dignity, all I care about right now is getting of this big mess and avoid inflicting more injuries onto my already messed up body

Julie smirked

"So how are you going to compensate me? "

"I'll help you wash your clothes " I hurriedly brought out the 50 dollars from my pocket " I can also buy you a new set of cloth "

She slapped my hands away

"Do you think I want your filthy hands touching my cloths" she snorted " Gimme your cloths"

What!!! 

If I remove my cloths, then my scars.... They would see all my dad has done to me and probably laugh

Yes, they'll laugh

My fingers trembled

"I-I can't"

Julie frowned

She was pretty pissed out 

"Still acting all cocky after what you did "

Her hand ran across my face, leaving a stinging pain on my cheek. Then she dragged my hair, pulling me upward

Agh

I shut my eyelids highly to help me relieve some of the pain, then I opened it

I saw him

Ian

The one who dragged me into this whole mess

He was watching me, his lips carried a mocking smile and his eyes were flashed with excitement

Was this asshole enjoying everything? The whole mess he created? 

Julie, seeing the interest and excitement in Ian eyes felt proud of herself and decided to take it to another level. She picked up a smoothie from a table, wanting to pour its content on me

"Since you love to spill food on people soo much, then see how it is to get food spilled on you"

Well, this is it but at least it was better than letting them see my scars

I closed my eyes, ready for what was about to come

Hunh 

Why hasn't any liquid flowed on my head? 

"I think that would be enough" a familiar voice said

Sigh

Who was stupid enough to help me now

I opened my eyes and saw Ian with that his stupid, freakin, gentle smile, holding Julie hands

'Not him again'
