Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

I continue walking with my head down and so occupied with what is happening. But then I heard a lot of giggles and murmur around me. As I raise my head up, I notice that everyone is looking at me again. They are eyeing me with envy or some emotion I don't understand, some girls are giggling and trying to look cute. What?

I thought they are already over my issue but I think they still not.

I take a long stride. A lot of students are in the hallway. But what surprised me is that everyone is making a way for me. Whenever they see me coming all the students walking approaching me is stopping on the side to give way to me. I don't get them. We have a very big hallway though they don't need to do that.

Girls don't stop giggling as I go on walking as if they are seeing a very handsome man or something. Weird.

When I am already in my room someone stopped me from entering by pulling my bag. I almost lost my balance good thing someone catch me. I heaved a deep breath of relief.

I look at the man who help me and it's Deus. EH? WHAT?

"Wh..w..why?" I stuttered I am holding on into his well-built body and he is holding my waist. I stand up straight. So, he is the reason why everyone is looking at me.

" Hmm I just want to walk you to your room and I want to make a statement here in school that you're mine. And I also want to prove that you are not being groomed by an old man." I look at our surrounding. A lot of people are there and taking pictures of us.

Some are still giggling and admiring Deus.

"Gosh, He is Deus Cavelli, right?"

"She's with him?"

"He is her boyfriend? What a lucky girl!"

"I wanna be her"

Everyone is bickering. Ohhh he is famous. Girls are head over heels attracted to him.

"Aren't you late in your office? And I'm already in my classroom. I'm going to be fine here." I sat and he nod.

"Now, you don't have to worry about what the people are going to say about you. I am here willing to be your knight in shining armor." he is scratching the back of his head while saying that. He looks like a teenager embarrassedly confessing his love to his crush.

"I know and I decided to just ignore them anyway" I said and look at the people around us and they are becoming a crowd.

"Oh hey" we both looked at the owner of the super energetic and high-pitched voice of my best friend Ali. She is trying to push people away so she can go near us.

"Hey kid" Deus greet her and Ali rolled his eyes at him. This two will always be like cat and dog.

"Hey old man" Ali greeted him back. I close my eyes and started to feel frustrated and somehow hoping that this two won't make any scene here or it will be a disaster.

"Okay okay... My class will start in a few minutes Deus I'll go now" I look at Deus and try to get his attention. I am trying to separate them as they were exchanging cold stares and having an eye-to-eye battle.

"Bye babe" Deus kiss me on my cheeks before he walks away and a lot of girls are shrieking as he makes his way to their direction. Really?

"Ohh, told you he is freaking famous. And did you know you are the talk of the town again cause your face is all over the internet." My eyes widened and I panicked. I looked at her confused.

"What? Why?" She crossed her arms in her chest and she look like a mom getting ready to scold her daughter. "What did I do now?"

"Meeting the parents huh? I thought you are going with me in the secret island." she said sulking.

"I am and meeting the parents I don’t understand. And please elaborate why is my face all over the internet again?" she raised an eyebrow at me.

"You are seen hanging out with him and his parents and the media started to speculate that he is in a relationship with a non-showbiz beautiful girl which is you. Someone took a picture of you guys and uploaded it in twitter and boom it goes viral" I face palmed and started overthinking things. Gosh, I am being talked by everyone all over the states and I don't have any idea about it until now.

"Gosh" I face palmed again. Ali grabs me in my arms and pulled me with her to enter our room. "Don't worry about that you look beautiful in those pics don't worry I check them." I laughed.

When we entered the room, everyone suddenly smiles at me. Some even greeted me a good morning and asking if I want to hang out with them after class.

That is new and unusual. Nobody in our class ever wants to hang out with me and all off a sudden the wind blew in different direction.

"Don't mind them. Certified Social climbers" Ali say it out loud and I pat her arms to stop her.

"Shhh, don't be rude." I said and she rolled her eyes on me. We took our assigned seat. I start taking out my calculator and pens to prepare from the examination.

Minutes after and our proctor arrived and gave us the examination booklets and answer sheets.

I spent whole 4 hours to finish everything. My neck is hurting and I am starving.
