15 days is all it takes for one's heart to change. At least that's what he hopes so that it is enough to make her fall in love with him.

"I know this sounds crazy to say after one encounter but I kind of fell for you pretty hard and it has been forever since I've connected to anyone like this and my heart is kind of broken in a million pieces." ― BJ Novak, One More Thing
~
On a sunny day outside of an enormous school building, St. Martin Private School. In this prestigious school, almost all of the students are from rich families, with almost 200 students and hundreds of staff.
With a loud screech, a red Ferrari comes to a halt with a lot of students staring and asking each other who is the careless driver.

Slowly comes out of the driver seat is Zachary Ferdinand or mostly known as Zach. Currently, he is on the list of The Youngest Millionaire. Being the only son in the family, he is expected take over the company as soon as he graduates.
Ferdinand's Empire. With almost trillion of assets and thousands of staff and countless numbers of applicant waiting for their job application to be accepted. For them to be able to work for such a huge empire, it would be like a dream comes true.
"Man, maybe I should just use the Ducati you gave me last year. That way I won't lose to you." Thomas said as he walks towards Zach with his new girl, Lucy as he is admiring his car.

Thomas is a womanizer. It would be very rare to see him with the same girl for at least two weeks but his ex never seems to mind.
Maybe because that way, they get to meet the oldest Ferdinand. Although Thomas have certain rules for his partner which he usually emphasizes the sentence "you are my girl until the day we break up" so,
1. No cheating.
2. No one night stand.
"I don't think you could ever win against me. I have superpower, remember?" Zach utters proudly. The superpower is the turbo engine in the back of his new car.
Thomas walks over and put his hand over Zach's shoulder and laugh as they go inside the school building.
Just like he thought, the students already glued their eyes on them probably could not believe that they are able to be in the same school as them.
"I bet 100 that the Student Council's application will increase 2 times than last year, wanna bet?" Thomas asks him. Last year, the Student Council had to handle countless of applications for the new member. Zach felt so guilty that he had to apologize multiple times to the committee members that handled all the applications.
"Sure, whatever floats your boat." Zach smirks before entering his locker code. It is the only combination that he ever used which is his little sister, Leia's birth date. 0310. He bet some of the students actually know the code.

"Z, you should really change your locker. This is getting out of control, bro." Thomas said as he saw a lot of letter and presents in front of the locker. Zachary sighs.
What a fantastic morning. He mumbles as he closes his locker.
"Look, it's your girlfriend." Thomas points to show the heir, the girl he is talking about.
Jasmine Sullivan. His greatest enemy. The only child of James and Martha Sullivan. Although it looks like she could not hurt a fly, only Zach knows the face behind that mask. A devil who enjoys making his life miserable. He could not wait for the day she reveals herself.
"She looks beautiful, today- well, she looks beautiful too yesterday but you know what I mean," Thomas says but mumbles the last part after he realizes how silly he sounds. Zach's heart is beating so fast that he fears nothing could calm it.
"Warning, an incoming red flag jerk. Harry Nicholls." Thomas rolls his eyes. He never likes Harry ever since he caught him cheating with one of his girls. Thomas may be a playboy but he cares for them, if it makes sense to you.
Zach wonders if Harry has change. Then, he proceeds to look at Thomas's frowning face and he chuckles seeing how Thomas wanted to punch the boy so badly. Unfortunately, due to his past problem, he is in his last straw with his father. If he mess up this year, his father will kill him.
"I wonder-if Jasmine knew about his secret." Thomas mumbles under his breath. Not wanting to let other student heard what he said. Looking at the couple that are now being touchy with each other is making Zach wishing he could punch the curly hair boy.
Thinking that it is not a smart idea, Zach shrugs his shoulder and decides to make his way to his class. Since there is 10 minutes left, he could do a quick revision so there will be no time wasted.
He sits on his designated seat and takes out his calculus book quickly scanning trough them before his calculus teacher arrives.
Skip until lunch
"Alright class, that's all for today. Do not forget to do the work my TA just sent to your personal email. Make sure to email it to me by the end of this week. Goodbye class and have a good lunch. Class dismissed." Ending the class with his usual announcements, Sir Roland exits the room.
Zach takes his reading glasses off and puts it on the desk before he pinch the bridge of his nose and sighs.
He tries to enjoy every minutes of silence and peace before the Student Council meeting starts and the hell breaks loose.
He glances around the classroom and realizes that he is the only one left as it looks like his classmates are already on their way to the cafeteria.
He cleans his desk a little bit before making his way to the cafeteria knowing that Thomas is most likely to be there already with their lunch ready on the table. Although Zach kept reminding him not to but his best friend just brush it off.
Zach smiles as he spots Thomas at their usual table. It is unfathomable that they have been best friend ever since they were just a baby.
Zach sits besides his best friend as he loosens his tie getting ready to eat before Thomas stops him.
He glances around and realizes the majority of students are looking at him, he sighs.
On the other hand, Thomas is devouring his own plate full of food when he says,
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that your girl, Jasmine Sullivan is looking for you."
Zach chokes hearing that. He coughs so loud that they are now being surrounded by the stare.
Geez, a warning would have been nice.
Zach mumbles to his best friend. What a nice way to start the lunch.
