Chapter 2

Astor

I was already bored by this.

I am surrounded by school students that barely know how to feed themselves let alone sub-professional knowledge. I was observing the panic in their eyes and the nervous movements that they all made like their life was depending from this competition. I looked at my watch and started walking towards the desk with my name and my number on it.

I did not need this achievement in order to be accepted in propably any university. My grades were flawless. This will just give my mother the opportunity to advertise my fathers company and since i wanted to run this company in the future I couldnt see a reason why I would not benefit from this. Losing was not a possibility judging by the people that I am surrounded with so this was a win-win situation. I sat down my desk waiting patiently for the bell to ring in order to give us the tests sheets. At the corner of my eye I spotted Grace Wilstone. Her fathers company is possibly the biggest competitor of ours.

I've known her since I was 7.
We never talked or were friends or anything like that but due to our parents competition I used to see her a lot of times in meetings waiting somewhere inside the company like me whether it was her parents company or mine. Sometimes we talked a little. Once we played chess together when we were 10. She was the only kid that knew how to play chess at that age and it always made an impression on me.

I stopped seeing her at 11 when my mother took over.

She seems quite fascinating.

She walks with her head up, like the rest of the people need to open the path for her to walk in.

She is sexy.

Her hair looks soft and shiny, she wears a blouse with trousers and her lips are red. I have seen her the last 7 years in a lot of pictures and videos in her fathers company. She always triggered my interest but seeing her this close?

She was exquisite.

She turned her head as if she was feeling my gaze on her and looked me dead in the eyes. I did not move an inch, finding this stare contest almost as intresting as the one I came here for in the first place. Her eyes are green and its like someone lit them on fire. She looks at me like she wants to scare me off.

Our gazes broke only when the bell went of. I smirked to myself mentally satisfied.
A challenging riddle, that was what would describe her best.
