A day in school

Soon they arrived before the school's gate but both Arianna and Michael seem to want to continue their talk about parents but Joseph decided to break it up by saying "yeah parents are such a pain in the ass! Anyway, we've arrived school so we better head to class"

"Yeah we should" Arianna said while Michael nodded but then Arianna paused as she recalled some critical information "we're in the same class!"

"Oh yeah" Michael said while a look of horror appeared on Joseph's face as he cursed 'fuck she remembered but what was I expecting it?' At this point Joseph felt stupid; they were going in the same direction how won't she find out. With that they walked together to class and the talk continued.

As they walked down the corridor, all eyes were on them as various people began whispering

"Oh wow. Is that the cold Michael and the super-rich new kid, Arianna?"

"Wow she just came yesterday but they're already so close?"

"She made the cold Michael talk to her, is this the power of money"

"But they look good together" "yeah"

Michael and Arianna were completely ignorant of what these people were saying but Joseph heard everything and immediately he thought 'me, Joseph Stone has become a third wheel? Oh hell no!' Immediately he forced his way in-between before putting his hand over Michael who was to his right before saying with a smile "yeah parents are such a pain, mine just never let me be"

"Of course, as stubborn as you're if I'm your dad, I surely won't let you roam around as you want"

"Ouch" Joseph said as he felt as though a dagger had stabbed his chest, he looked at Michael, his face filled with pain as he said "bruh that hurt"

"I don't care, you know the truth is always bitter but it must be said" immediately Joseph spoke back but Michael just shut him up with another violation by soon broke up, upon hearing a laugh and they turned only to see Arianna laughing at them.

"Hahaha" Arianna laughed out, she was clearly amused by the two's words but she stopped upon noticing them staring at her intensely, she felt pressured by the two's stare and thus turned her head away. Michael sighed upon seeing this as he said "anyway, we shall soon reach class. Let's cut this out" and immediately he walked forward as though he had forgotten the two's presence, Arianna and Joseph could only follow behind as they walked in silence and soon arrived class, and each headed to his seat though as usual everyone murmured upon seeing Michael.

As soon Arianna sat down, she wanted to turn and initiate a conversation with Michael but she soon threw that thought out of her mind as a multitude of girls surrounded her, immediately bombarding her with questions

"Hello Arianna, how you doing?"

"Hey, what kind of treatment do you receive at home? I bet you're like a princess"

"Oh does your dad buy you anything you want?"

Arianna's expression soon turned to one of helplessness as the questions kept coming, to say she wasn't used to this will be a lie, after all she's a rich man's daughter it was only normal she received such attention but she was still quite baffled by this situation after all she had been here for not even a day but will you look at them, they were already bombarding her with questions. She felt it hard to answer them as they were just too many at the time as she wondered what to do; she heard a voice she was all too familiar with.

"Hey could you guys keep it down, I'm trying to get ready for class" hearing Michael's usual cold voice, all the girls kept quiet as they look at him, completely entranced by his cold face and they immediately apologized before leaving Arianna alone. Arianna seeing this was slightly surprised as she said to Michael

"Thank you"

"I didn't do it for you"

"Right" Arianna answered as she sighed unfazed as she already expected that answer then she faced forward as she prepared herself for the class.

Not long later, the teacher stepped in. He was in charge of teaching them History so he immediately began today's topic which was about the past president.

.

*HONKKKKK

It was the horn indicating first break as the teacher walked out of the class, while the students became walking to the cafeteria either alone or with a group of people. While this was happening, Michael could be seen arranging his things but he soon stopped as two shadows blocked the light, a sigh escaped his mouth, already knowing the identity of the two he said exasperatedly "What do you want?"

"Come eat lunch with me" they said. Hearing their words, they stared at each other intently before Joseph said "um sorry Arianna, we're bros so it can only be the two of us, it's a bro thing"

"Huh why are you speaking as if, he accepted your offer?" Arianna said, her face filled with annoyance as she stared at him, Joseph hearing this grew a tick mark on his face as he said completely forgetting about her status

"WTF, we've been friends forever and you come out of nowhere telling me, his best gee that he'll refuse me over a girl? Hehehe, the Michael that I know will never waste his time on a princess like you, it'll be too much of a bother" hearing his words, Arianna got angry as she fired back

"Eh, of course he will and what makes you think you're his gee? Maybe he's just keeping you around cuz you remind him of his dog and do you know who I am that you're speaking to me so casually?"

"Mich doesn't even have a dog and who the fuck do you think you are? Cuz you're dad got some cash, sorry Mrs. Dad is super rich my friend doesn't give two fucks about money"

As they kept on bickering they failed to notice Michael, who was already done with packing his things and was leaving class, headed to cafeteria. He usually didn't visit it often as his mom always gave him some great lunch box but it seems today she forgot or they simply punished him for yesterday's events.

'Fuck parents!' He cursed as he kept on walking, giving little to no fucks about Arianna and Joseph's bickering.

While that was happening, Arianna and Joseph's quarrel had reached quite a height as many students had surrounded them enjoying the show but it just became funnier as Joseph said

"You think, Michael will chose you over me? Lol, that's impossible"

"Oh really let's ask him then" immediately the two turned towards Michael seat as they both shouted

"Michael, chose between me and her" "chose between me and him"

But they were met with silence as Michael's seat was currently empty. A surprised look appeared on their faces upon noticing this as they took some time to process the situation but when they finally did, Joseph was the first to curse

"Ah fuck! That bastard!"

"Mother fucker!" Arianna didn't go easy on him too as she cursed but they soon calmed down and noticed the people around them and as soon as their gaze met them, everyone curried off. Joseph sighed as he said "anyway, we should go find the guy" to this Arianna nodded as she said

"Yeah, else all this would have been in vain" upon hearing this words, Joseph smiled as he extended his hand for a handshake and Arianna didn't shy away as she shook his hand before staring him in the eye, Joseph also gazed at her eyes before they both smiled as though they had come to an agreement mentally.

"Well then, shall we head out?" Joseph asked, to this Arianna nodded before answering

"Sure" but just as they were about to take a step forward the bell sounded and as soon as they heard it, they became as white as a paper as though they had seen a ghost.

While Michael entered the class and noticed them, but he didn't waste a second looking at them as he headed to his seat as though he didn't know them. Arianna and Joseph could only fall to their knees as crocodile tears dropped from their eyes as they mourned

"WHYYYYYY"

Soon the teacher walked into the class and the first thing his eyes fell on where Arianna and Joseph's paper like figure, with a stern look on his face he ordered "get seated immediately, class is about to begin" but his words fell on deaf ears as they remained unmoving. Seeing this, a frown appeared on the teacher's face as he stared at the two fiercely but he soon noticed that one of them was Arianna and as soon as he did, a drop of sweat fell from his face as he advised himself 'I better leave them alone' before he decided to begin class but he was soon interrupted by Michael who stood up.

Noticing this, the teacher was slightly surprised as he asked "what's the matter Michael?" But Michael completely ignored him as he walked towards the pair of two and with a wicked smile he said in a voice only the two could hear "you better get to your seats now if you love your lives"

Hearing his words, life immediately appeared in both eyes as they rushed to their seats, they feared Michael's word, after all a cold individual like Michael was smiling. It was easy to deduce what could happen if they had stayed.
