It is my first day of class and I am now heading to the Art building which takes five minutes to get there from my dorm, at least that is what it says on the campus map. I had on my messenger bag with a pair of black skinny jeans, my converse, and a red shirt with the name RED on it. There isn’t a point of trying to look ‘wealthy.’ Lisa is leaving in a four hours, she already headed to the airport to get early and not panic, since she gets stressed out easily. She told me she’ll call me when she is about to board the airplane.

I began to put on my head phones when someone put their hands around my shoulder, I flinched away and noticed Lindy’s confused expression. I felt a shiver of relief for some weird reason. I looked her over and felt shameful, she had on brown skinny jeans with a very fashionable jacket and a green scarf with a green V-neck, “I’m sorry I scared you.”

“It’s fine, I didn’t expect it to be you,” I replied.

“Oh well it’s me,” She giggled. We began to walk down the side walk to our classes, “Heading to building of Art?”

“Yeah, first day,” I answered, “kind of nervous though.”

“Why? New school?” She asked.

“New school, new town,” I said.

“Where are you from?” She asked, “I’m from Seattle.”

“Cicero, Illinois,” I answered.

“Small town?” She asked.

“Yep,” I answered.

“How old are you?” Lindy asked out of the blue.

“I’m 17,” I answered. Lindy gasped.

“Shut up,” She said.

“Yep,” I answered. We entered the Art building and stood at another fancy lobby.

“How did you get into Crown then?” She asked.

“Scholarship,” I answered.

“They usually never accept people under 18,” Lindy informed me.

“They accepted me,” I said.

“Which is kind of shocking,” Lindy said, “Especially in a school like this.” She looked around in some what appalled and soon went back to her bubbly self, “I’ll see you after class,” Lindy said and went to her class. I sighed and walked inside mine. The class was mostly full of girls with some boys in hidden somewhere. I made my way to an empty desk by the only window in the classroom. There isn’t many people in this class, I guess there are mostly more people in fashion or business classes than here. I pull out my new phone and began to play on an App I downloaded. I am startled by the desk next to me making a moving noise. I look up and notice an Asian guy beside me. He has short black hair, brown eyes, and black glasses. He had on a white shirt with the famous happy smile on, a green jacket, and faded blue jeans. He turned to look at me.

“Hi, I’m Daniel Shin,” He introduced himself expanding a hand out. I took it and shook it.

“Payton Lin,” I smiled.

“That’s a pretty name,” He smiled. I returned the smile. He is cute I have to say. What shocked me more was his sense of fashion not like everyone else but more like mine, “No offense but you don’t look like you are from around here.”

“I’m not actually,” I answered, “I come from something way different than this,” I said looking around at the people with stuff children from the foster home would die for.

“I’m from San Francisco, California so I’m not from here either,” He smiled, “What company does your family own?” I stiffened a laugh, he looked at me confused.

“I don’t own any company,” I answered. He looked at me appalled.

“I’m sorry that was rude of me. I’m so used to everyone here owning a business or something,” He smiled.

“It’s fine,” I smiled, “what business do you own?”

“Not a business but my father sells his art work and sculptures to the most wealthiest people in the world, Oprah Winfrey has bought some of his work,” He pointed out, “I sound like I’m bragging sorry.”

I smiled, “It’s fine.”

I am suddenly startled by the excitement screams of girls coming from outside. I look out the window and notice a pile of girls who are now surrounding something or someone. I looked closer at them and noticed some tall, he had straight black hair, trimmed of course. He had on what seemed like a business suit on, there were two, I guess bodyguard, on each side of him, “Alexander we missed you!” One girl yelled. The boy turned that direction and smiled. I gasped at the beauty of it. I must have gasped loud because he turned to my direction. We stared into each other’s eyes for what seemed like moments. I suddenly felt like a moth hypnotized by a flame. He gave me a smirk and a wink. I snapped back to reality with the sound of the door closing in the room. I broke our gaze and look at Daniel who is also staring at the boy, “Who is that?”

“That is Alexander Simmons, the most riches student on the campus,” Daniel informed me. I turned back to look at him again but he had already moved on with the crowd. His tall somewhat muscular and slender figure can still be seen a little, “His parents own this school.” Daniel informed me. I turned and looked at him in shock.

“His parents?” I asked.

Daniel nodded, “his parents and my parents are really good friends, even though we both are not.” I didn’t feel like asking why.

The class lasted at least two hours, it was already one and I am starving.

“Where are you heading to next?” Daniel asked. I looked down at my paper and scanned it.

“Photography,” I answered.

“Need help finding it?” He asked. I showed him the map that came in my packet. He smiled and nodded, “I’ll still walk you.” I laughed quietly. We walked out the class before I got stopped by the professor.

“Ms. Lin, how nice of you to be here,” Mr. Ricks, I think, said. He is very young for someone to work here in my opinion. He is kind of medium size but with a muscular built, the kind of men Lisa likes. Brown hair, blue eyes, tannish skin, just the kind of guy she likes.

“You two know each other?” Daniel said.

“This young lady entered one of the most amazing essays I have ever read in my whole career,” He said.

“Essay?” Daniel asked.

“Yes, Ms. Lin here got a full tuition scholarship for Crown by the director,” Mr. Rick said.

“I would like to read it,” Daniel smiled.

“Well that is up to Ms. Lin here,” Mr. Rick said. I smiled and nodded.

“Soon,” is all I said.

Lisa had bought me a food pass making me eligible to have free meals here, which is good, don’t want to kill my self with too much ramen noodles. I decided to take a walk to the cafeteria. Daniel had to leave for another class. I would have thought the cafeteria would be very packed but there is barely anyone here. I decided to get just a regular sub turkey sandwich with Doritos chips. I sat at a close by table that is empty, I placed my bag next to the empty chair beside me. I unwrapped my sub and opened my chip bag. I heard a faint tap come from the table. I paid not attention to it and began to eat my chips when the tap became louder. I looked out

Oh God, this girl is gorgeous. She had the perfect light peach skin, her lips were perfectly shaped and her blonde hair were fallen waves. She had on a navy blue dress on with a white thin belt around her waist. She had on white stockings with blue flats, “This is my table.”

“No one was sitting here,” I replied.

“Well now there will be, move,” She said.

Nope, she isn’t gorgeous, “Why?”

“Do you know who I am?” She scoffed.

“Nope,” I said and took a bite off my sub.

“Jessica Simmons,” She said proudly.

“Am I suppose to know who that is?” I said. She gasped and closed her mouth in anger. She got out her phone and dialed a number. She placed the phone by her ear and waited for the call to enter.

“Come here now,” She demanded. She hung up the phone and glared at me, “I’m going to be the future owner of this college.”

“How?” I asked sarcastically. She smiled. Soon the door opened and a tall figure entered the cafeteria, Alexander Simmons.

“I told you not to call me,” Alexander said, his eyes fell upon me and he stared into my eyes as I stared back into his brown eyes, “what’s going on?”

“This ‘thing’ doesn’t know who I am,” Jessica cried.

“This ‘thing’ has a name,” I said getting up from the chair, “if it takes this much trouble just for a table, you can have it.” I grabbed my bag and lunch, just as I was about to turn around, someone grabbed my hand and spun me around making me trip and fall on top of him or her. I placed my hand on their chest so I wouldn’t bump my head on them. I must have closed my eyes because once I opened them, I was staring at Alexander’s eyes and he was staring back at mine.
