Chapter 1

*Bump*

Rafael rub his forehead with a frown. He was so invested in his book that he didn't see the wall in front him.

"Take your eyes out of the book,"Tracy said with a laugh. Rafael frown then pout. "How long have you been reading that?"

"This morning." Rafael close the book and focus on where he was going. He doesn't need another bruise to add to the one on his forehead.

"You're one determine kid."

"Books are life."

"Your life. Mine is eating."

"Hey wait up!"

Troy came running up to them panting and out of breath.

"I heard...*catch breath* that some big shot CEO...*catch breath* is going to give out free scholarships."

"That's amazing!"Tracy squealed.

"I don't need scholarships." Tracy and Troy look at him. "What? It's true."

"OK Einstein. Anyway these scholarships will be good."

"Here he is!"

Whispering could be heard as the principal and the mystery man came through.

Everyone was taking in every inch of the well dressed man.

"Rafael. Just the boy I want to see."

"Principal Buckley."

"This is Mr. Adonis Grayson. He's a sponsor."

"Mr. Grayson."

Adonis look at the boy without an inch of emotion on his face. He didn't show it but the boy bring out the curious part of him.

"Would you like to apply for a scholarship?"

"I don't need a scholarship. No offense but I'm probably the smartest kid you have in this school."

"And what college are you trying to get into?"Adonis asked, his full attention on Rafael.

"Well I got acceptance letters from Juilliard, Yale and Oklahoma."

"Impressive. I went to Juilliard. It is a very good."

"Thank you Mr.Grayson."

"Don't thank me. You got a good brain. Goodluckon your journey."

"Mr. Grayson so can we apply?" Tracy look at Mr. Grayson with a hopeful look.

"Anyone can. Just study hard. Well a good day to all of you."

After Mr. Grayson and Principal Buckley there was a heated discussion.

"He's so hot. I'm so going to apply for that scholarship. Rafael will you help us?"

"We can all study together. I'll just make a new schedule."

"You're the best!"

Rafael has never seen his friends this excited to study before. He smile to himself as he cook up a plan. He want to know how determined they are.

"Break is over so its time for chemistry. I hate Mondays."

"Suck it up." Troy glare at Tracy before walking away from her. "Brat."

Troy flip him the bird before disappearing around the corner.

"Stop annoying your brother."

"Why stop and when its so fun? Let's get to class."

With a shake of his head Rafael head to his last class of the day which was literature. They were on Romeo and Julie. He doesn't know the first thing about love but he know killing yourself because your partner died is just too much.
