chapter one (matteo's pov)

Matteo's POV:

"Hey, you? Did your favorite illegal website for watching k-drama get banned? Luckily for you, we got the perfect solution. Introducing Crestwood Acadamy-"

I slammed my computer shut right after that played, not a hand print or a scuff mark to be seen anywhere on my desk. I glared at Gelaine, irritation suddenly being the only thing I felt.

"Dumbass. You're supposed to make the video look like our school is flawless. The principal's gonna see this, y'know?" I groan, pinching my nose bridge. I swore I caught Gelaine rolling her  eyes at me. 

"Okay, Mr. President," she says sarcasticly, seeming like she didnt give a shit whatsoever. She then opens her laptop and starts doing something on it. I wonder if shes actually editing the video. 

I have to reply to all these emails about the funding of the school field trips. Doesnt this school have 6 secretaries? Isnt that that their job? Whatever, im not risking the chance to fall off the president title. I must keep my reputation steady. Im gonna be honest, the student council is a pain in the ass. I dont even know why I ran for president. 

There are 5 positions you can run for in the student council in Crestwood Acadamy. 

- Treasurer (Aryan). This dumbass only got this position because he was popular. Only because hea a spoiled kid. My guy didn't even know what a treasurer was. I guess he's chill. 

- Secretary (Gelaine). You've already got a preview of what she's like. The others ditched us for some party. Thank goodness Gelaine stayed so we can actually get stuff done. Theres one problem though. Shes a heavy procastionater. 

- Historian (Haimi). To be honest, I dont get why this is a role in the student council. Apperently, shes the prettiest girl in our school. I dont really care though, just something I thought that might be important mentioning. I mean, Haimi's nice, but shes really quiet. She reminds me of a flower. Unable to speak, but attracts attention from its beauty. 

- Vice Prez (Krystal). Another rich, spoiled, popular kid. Shes horrible academic-wise, but something I admire about her is the fact she became a millionare when she was 11. Damn, I wish I sounded like her when she sang at America's Got Talent. 

- President (me). Uhh, I dont really know to describe myself without sounding like a narsissist. This may sound stupid, but im not even sure about HOW I became president. Is it because I go to modeling photo shoots for social media, or is it because of my grades in general? 

Suddenly, gelaine abruptly claps her hands in my face, trying steal my attention away from my thoughts. I simply just stare at her.

 "I finished the video. Dude, pay attention to it, will ya? I actually put effort into it."

I laugh a little and play the video. About time shes done.
