*Emily's Pov*

Ivans and Rocha were quiet through out class, Rocha was taking notes with a diligent attitude while Ivans was just listening to the teacher.

Shawn laid his head on his desk and slept off while Adam was just silently copying his notes and also Shawn's. Adam is so nice and considerate, even though I think he should let Shawn focus more on his studies and not help him all the time.

Lily was doddling in her note and I know she would have to borrow my note or just use her brain, and I know she will chose the first option *Sighs*

The reason why the students here are still well behaved is because the principal is the 10th richest person plus he has got connection with all the top 100 richest people because most of them attended this school and this is the principal's family business. Since we are above him in terms of influence, we can misbehave but we usually don't which is why we are his favourite students.

*During lunch*

Our table consisted of me with Lily sitting to my right, Shawn sitting next to Lily and Adam next to Shawn, and Nick adjacent ro me thereby facing me, Rocha facing Lily and Ivans facing Adam.

And yes, you heard all the names correctly. If you want to know why, we need to flash back.

*Flashback*

It was second period. I was in class with Shawn since he attends this class with me, and he was sitting at my right while sleeping AGAIN. Shawn really likes sleeping and I can't depend on him during those times *hmph*

Ivans walked in and sat down to my left.

"Hello, hope you won't mind me sitting here? You seem like a nice person so...?" Ivans asked nervously.

"Oh! I-it's ok." I said with my shy voice.

"Thanks, I was worried I wouldn't get a seat. I am Ivans, and you are Emily. Right?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" I asked genuinely curious.

Could he have seen me at a party with my parents and known that I am from the 3rd richest family? That would be bad if he reveals it, cause everyone will know and wonder why I am so shy when I am different at parties. I usually don't go to parties that much and when I do, my parents don't want others to be ogling me, so they usually 'protect' me, so I am not sure if he would recognise me.

"Oh, you are pretty popular, the cute, shy girl that always comes first and thinks that Miss IFU is 'pretty good'."

"Really? That spreads fast, I just said that last week "

Phew! It was just that, but still, I never knew that my alter-ego was so popular that just because I said she was pretty good, everyone already knew. *Sighs* This is so troublesome.

"Yep, but it isn't every time you see someone who thinks Miss IFU is 'pretty good', don't you think? " He asked in a nice way.

"Yeah, I guess. Thanks" I said still keeping to my character.

Seriously, you just came to talk about me, but he doesn't know so his behaviour is excused.

"You are welcome" He said with a grin

He is really the cheerful sort, even though it is not like Lily's. No one's cheerfulness can be like Lily's.

Nick came in through the door with his signature smirk.

He turned and smirked at me, then looked at Ivans with raised eyebrows and seemingly jealous eyes, but didn't do anything and just sat down behind me, but I had a feeling he looked at me throughout the period.

When it was third period, I went to class happy that I am finally free from Nick's stare before I remembered that he was also attending this class. *Sighs* My life just keeps getting more awesome.

Nick came in and sat down beside me.

"So you know you let another boy sit in my seat?" He said with an angry tone but still had that smirk.

"Oh! But he sat down there first, I couldn't just ask him to stand up"

If not for appearance sake, I would have asked him if his name was craved unto the chair in a sassy tone,*Sighs* but I can't because I am supposed to be 'shy'.

Seriously, keeping up this attitude is getting more and more harder by the day.

"Ok, sweetheart. To make up for it, I am sitting with you during lunch. Is that ok?" He asked with that stupid smirk since he knows I can't say no.

"It's ok" I said while looking away 'shyly' because if I should keep on looking at him, I will probably not be able to control myself from lashing out.

I gritted my teeth at the thought that someone I have not done a background check on, is going to eat with me.

And then during the fifth period, Ivans asked me if he and his sister could sit with me during lunch since I seem like a nice person, so I had to agree.

Plus, I like Rocha, she doesn't disturb me unlike Lily, but that doesn't mean I don't like Lily. It just get stressful sometimes to keep up with her energy.

*Flashback ends*

And that is what brought about this, since we have this three here, we can't talk about the mystery guy and can only talk about it in our private group chat, at our houses or at my company.

Everyone was making small talks and eating. When the bell rang, we all went to our different classes. Wait! I just remembered, Nick is also going to my class, Great *eyerolls*
