DREAM KINGS (Shawn Mendes x Harry Styles)

C h a p t e r [11]

I just drop my pen. I pray it didn't fell somewhere he'll see it. The door opens again, just when I see the half of his body, I immediately look away with a nervous heart.
Put my head down and acted cool.

Gladly, he just walked past me. I've had the best relief as he drags the chair and sits behind me. Thought he'd land my pen on my table and ask why I am following him.

A new professor came, well, not for my eyes, for him. Professor Ry, he teaches math and is pretty strict. Other teachers told us why he's like that, he was in the army before and decided to become a college teacher. He's firm with his way of speaking and loud. Everyone's scared of him but not me.. well, sometimes.
Everybody hates math, I do too, but I know some things. Whenever he calls me, I always know what to answer.

"Good morning class." He says loudly.

We greet him back except for one. You know who. He noticed Shawn and realized he's new.
He asks him his name and Shawn responds only with few words, not even shaking or any emotions on his face.

"Ah. So you're the transferee.. what's your name again?"

"Shawn." He lamely but firmly says.

"You're the son of the richest man in your country, Rico Mendes, I get that. But the question is, are your honors legit or did you use some of your powers?"

Shawn didn't respond and just ignored his doubtful question. He scoffs as he sits down without his permission.

"Did I told you to sit down?" Professor Ry asks aggressively.

He didn't respond.

"Stand up."

He just stares at him with a poker face.

"I said stand up Mr. Mendes."

"You must have forgotten that I am observing every action you make here."

"You are but you're still a student."

"Don't care. I am the one who will still write your names on whether who should LEGITIMATELY stay or be fired."

"Are you threatening me Mr. Mendes?"

"No. Why? You feel threatened?"

Professor Ry was embarrassed for the savagery that he was unable to speak. He smiles to lessen his embarrassment and used to proceed to the lesson as an excuse.

I'm starting to get so confused. He just humiliated a teacher but I get the point why he should be mad.

The time elapse and it's time for us to go home again. He didn't wait nor called me by name, he went past me like he doesn't even know me.
He heads out and I walk behind him, looking like a stalker.

Walking behind him made me rethink of what I said. Bringing up everything about him and his capabilities of doing everything because of money. He got mad at me for saying that and earlier, Professor Ry mentioned the word 'power' which certainly means money. I think I get why he's being so angry. Probably because he hates it whenever someone tries to bring up he's rich and can do whatever he wants.

I ran to catch up, though I really don't want tailing around people because it makes me look like a fool, especially whenever I try to fix something up.
