Chapter 3: The day that I met you

8 years ago

Class 2-A was met with an unexpected surprise.

"Class, a new student will be joining as today."

"What? It's already this late into the school year.

A new student?"one student said with a doubtful look on their face.

"She must me rich if she could enter a school like ours so easily like this" another student muttered.

There were a lot of speculations that came after. They were already making assumptions about a classmate they have never even met or talked to.

"Ehem" the teacher let out a small cough to catch the attention of the students.

"This is Xenia lee, She'll be joining class starting today. Xenia, why don't you introduce yourself."

"........"

"Xenia lee"

The whole class was shocked. Not because after saying just her name she immediately sat on an empty chair, but because the girl was admittedly beautiful. The blue uniform complemented her blue eyes so much that it felt like it was specially made just for her. Just one glance at her and you could tell she comes from a rich family. She just had that aura, she had that calm expression and composure. Elegant and noble that was what the people would immediately think after seeing her.

The class went by normally except when it was lunch time.......

Students started to flock over the new student, Xenia lee.

"Omg, you're so pretty, you're like a model!"

"Hello, beautiful, would you like to go on a date with me??" The students were coming in one after another when suddenly........

"I'm not interested"

After saying that one sentence, Xenia stood up from her sit and went out the classroom. Once again, the students were left shocked and dumb-founded.

As for Xenia, she went to an empty club room. Where she was preparing for a contest.

"Those people....." Xenia quietly muttered while clenching her pencil.

Before she could finish her sentence, the doors of the clubroom suddenly opened and a male student suddenly came in.

"Oh, you must be the new member. You are...? Oh, Xenia lee, right?"

Xenia tried to ignore him and continued to go back to drawing. She really needed to win this drawing contest.

As if not minding her rudeness, the student went ahead and took a look at her drawing.

"This......." he muttered.

"This is such a bad drawing........."

Xenia wasn't bothered at all by the sudden interests of her classmates but this one sentence caught her attention. No one ever said her drawings were bad or at least no one ever dared to say that.

"What?" Xenia stopped drawing and glared at the student.

"No one ever told you your drawings were bad before, right?" The stranger said with a small smile on his face.

"......"

Xenia continued to stay silent but decided to say something.

"Yes, that's right. No one ever said my drawings were bad, which means they're just that good"

"Hahahahahah"

The male student let out a laugh.

"Just by looking at you, it's obvious you grew up in a rich household" The male student said while wiping off the tears on his face from laughing.

"And? What does that have to do with me being bad at drawing?" Xenia asked with a serious look on her face.

"It means that everyone tries to please you"

".......What do you mean?"

"I'm saying people never told you the truth cause they didn't want to break your little fragile heart or offend you in any way"

"........"

"Oh, don't tell me you really thought you were good at drawing?"

"You're one to talk, I bet you're not even that good."

"Want to have a competition then?" The male student said with a smug look on his face.

After thinking about it for like 2 seconds......

"Sure" Xenia immediately replied. It was obvious the provocation got to her although she doesn't show it.

"Then........ tomorrow, the school will have a competition at 8 am. Let's compete for first place." The male student said while touching his chin.

"Okay then......"

The both of them go back to the classroom together and it seems that some rumors have spread although they didn't notice it themselves.

Xenia continued to walk to her seat when......

"Hey" one student said. Her face was very full of makeup. She had red hair and black eyes. She had braids on. Xenia just sat on her seat and ignored her. Xenia was studying for an upcoming exam.

"Hey you! Are you deaf!?" The girl with red hair looked very pissed and looked very ready to come at her anytime.

Finally, Xenia looked her straight in the face and said "I'm studying"

After saying that, Xenia continued reading her textbooks.

Then one of the three girls who were with her suddenly stepped in and pulled Xenia's hair. She was short and petite and looked like an average school girl you'd see walking home after school with her friends .

"No one......and I say no one gets to date our Zenki" The girl said with killing intent.

Still, Xenia continued to show no emotion and it looked like none of this fazed her at all.

"I don't know who that is but okay"

"Does this girl think we're some kind of joke!?"

She said to the rest of the girls who were with her.

Just when it was getting intense as she was getting ready to hit Xenia, a boy came in. All the gaze of the the red hair girl and the rest of the 3 girls who were with her were focused on him.

"Zenki......" The petite girl's face was filled with horror.

"W-we didn't take part in this in any way at all"

One of the three girls who was with the red haired girl said.

The three of them started saying excuses except for Layla and were trying their best on making their way out of it, one of them being the petite girl who tried to hit Xenia.

"T-That's right, It was all Layla's fault" one of them added. They were basically pushing the blame to Layla, the red haired girl.

"You cowards!" Layla said angrily.

At that moment, Zenki's expression was cold.....

"Forget it" He said with the same cold expression.

After saying that, he went out of the classroom.
