You Changed Me [On Hold]

Chapter 2: My Seatmate

When I arrived in school, I headed towards the Music Department and ran as fast as I could to my first class, which was Music Lit. My teacher in this class is what you would call a "horror teacher." When I stepped into the classroom, I can see everyone staring at me and Mrs. Eldenberg glaring.

Mrs. Eldenberg: Ms. Lockwood, why are you late.... again?

Me: Umm.. Um... Uh.. Ma'am it's becau-

Mrs. Eldenberg: STOP!! I don't want to hear your unreasonable excuse. Just go to your seat and try to catch up with the discussion. 

Me: Yes ma'am. She asks why I'm late and doesn't even let me explain. *I mumble*

I walked towards my seat, good thing it was at the back next to the window. I sat down, only to find the person sitting next to me wasn't there. I asked Collin, the girl sitting in front of me, where my seatmate was and she told me that he hasn't arrived yet. I thought to myself how unlucky he'll be when he gets scolded by Mrs. Eldenberg.

-10 minuites later-

Mrs. Eldenberg gets interrupted, again, by the sound of the door opening. I saw my seatmate walk in, head towards his seat, sat and then slept. I can see the anger on my teachers face, but she calmed down and continued with the discussion.

(whispers to Collin)

Me: Hey! Collin

Collin: What?

Me: Why didn't she get mad at him?

Collin: Huh? Don't you know?

Me: Know what?

Collin: Your seatmate is Nicholas Joseph Kent. The son of Richard Kent, the chairman of the 5 leading companies in the whole world and Marie Kent, the famous actress. His dad is one of the board of directors in this school, so if something happens to him, his dad will either fire the teacher or have the student be suspended, depends on the situation. 

Me: WOW!! so that's why he gets special treatment. Thanks Collin!!

Collin: No Prob.

I stare at my seatmate for the whole period and thought to myself that I actually don't see him often and he rarely goes to school, maybe because of his parents, but when he does, he always ends up sleeping. One thing I do know about him is that his "friends" call him Nick.

Nick: I don't like it when people stare at me

Me: Oh! Sorry, it's just that you look really familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before. Way to go Ciara, of course he looks familiar, he's your frickin seatmate.

Nick: Huh?

Me: What? are you deaf or something? Oh! it's nothing.

*AWKWARD SILENCE*

Me: So... Nicholas ho-

Nick: First of all it's Nick. I don't like it when people call me Nicholas, cause it sounds so classy. And Second, don't get too comfortable around me, I don't like talking to people of lower rankings.

Me: What?

Nick: Let me put it in a way you would understand, (whispers to my hear) POOR.

I can feel my face heating up, but I think it's because he called my poor. WAIT! WHAT? POOR?

Me: Who are you calling po-

*bell rings*

Mrs. Eldenberg: And that's all for today, make sure to read pages 120-130. Class dismissed!

The next thing I knew everyone was standing up and leaving for their next class, including Nick. Ughhh!!!! "Nick" just thinking about his name makes me wanna kick his ass.

Me: I'll just settle things with him, the next time I see his face.

Then, I left for my next class.
