Chapter 6

Luther's POV 

I got to school and was about to go back to the coach's office when I met her ....

Lara Madison 

The lady who I had a special encounter with on the New Year's Eve.

Her eyes sparkled, igniting something within me,a feeling that I could not explain.

She was indeed beautiful, her long brown hair fell on her shoulders.

I couldn't help but stare at her.

I had just got admitted to this school but the moment I saw herI was instantly attracted to her.

 " I have not finished talking to you who the hell do you think you are" I could hear a guy shouting but Lara didn't glance at him.

“ Can't you shut up why do you always bark “ it was Lara speaking her eyes held great disdain for the guy.

“ You can't say anything you feel like” he was boiling with anger  as she turned away from him, hurting his pride.

“ Well I heard news that we are having a new classmate “ students murmured the news was buzzing flying up and down in the sky about my presence.

Everyone awaited who the new guy was which got their hopes high.

“ Silence everyone, this is your new classmate Luther” the teacher announced as I stepped inside the classroom.

“ Oh my God he is so handsome! I wish he could be mine only for a day” they giggled hoping I would be closer to them.

“ He is so cute even with the haircut “ they chuckled, not wanting to take their eyes off me for a moment.

“ Welcome nice to meet you” my nervousness dissipated as they accepted me with open arms 

Everyone cheered happily all eyes on me with girls flicking around me but I was not interested.

“ So cute this new guy is hotter than Reis “ everyone was in awe of my beauty earning admiration from all angles.

I was the centre of attraction and murmurs rippled through the crowd.

“ Take your seat I have to address the class” he instructed me pointing towards an empty  seat  right beside Lara.

I strode magnificently in the direction of my seat with all eyes staring at me.

I pulled the chair forward quietly settling on it 

“ As you all know this is a new session and you have a new classmate try to help him get used to the environment and our etiquette while focusing on your studies “ her voice was soft but stern.

“ Have a new day ahead” there was a thunderous applause echoing in the classroom.

With that,she slowly turned leaving the class.

Immediately the teacher left a tall boy stood, his face was pale  his expression darkened seeing me close to Lara.

“ My name is Reis let's all welcome our new student Luther” everyone chimed in but I was hell bent on knowing my seat partner Lara.

“ What are your hobbies?”  someone asked but I didn't respond.

“ Luther, you should know your place because I own this school” Reis declared, leaning forward his voice dripping with arrogance and a wide smile spread across my face, looking at  him like an imposing god.

Everyone was stunned.

“ This freshman is not only good with looks but something else he will be an interesting personality to watch “ they whispered to one another .

“ If you have any questions you can ask me “ Lara offered her genuine help noticing my discomfort in settling down in school..

“ Thank you” I mumbled softly extending my hand towards her, a feeling of warmth spread in my chest.

I blinked my eyelids at her, my blue piercing eyes staring at her keenly.

I locked my eyes with her and cold chills ran down her spine.

She recognised me instantly.

Her cheeks were flushed red  like rose lilies in the garden.

“ The newbie is talking to the  country pumpkin. Who does he think he is ? “ they swallowed hard, glaring directly at me who was not ready for any bull shit.

“ Lara  “ I called her name while Reis exchanged glances at the others .

“ The moment you try anything stupid you are gone for life “ Reis warned, leaning over my ears but I didn't flinch.

“ Reis, have you gone nuts? Don't you have  any shame at all left ?”

 It was Lara who stood up defying all the eyes which commanded attention.

“ This is a new student you should show some empathy, not your nonchalant attitude” She added with a resolute tone not minding the opinion of others.

“ How dare you talk, you are nothing more than a worthless piece of trash” he sneered, acting like a mighty proud king.

“ Stop trying to act cool  as  you only belong to the slum” she couldn't take it anymore and  felt punched in the guts.

“ Let this be the last time you will do this or I won't hold back “ she spat  in disgust, her eyes hardened, sending a warning to him.

“ I have tolerated more than enough so it's time to put you in your place” she added rage brewing within her.

The room cracked with tension and everyone went mute.

“Im better off without you so stop constituting a nuisance if you beg for my for my forgiveness I might consider keeping you as my dog “ he blurted out.

“ I don't need to exchange words with you. You aren't worth my time “she spoke up.

He gritted his teeth his eyes widened in disbelief.

He took a step forward ready to attack her but she dodged his movements bumping all over me .

Reis lost his balance hitting the ground with a loud bang.

“ Are you alright” she asked and I nodded in affirmative.

Before I could say anything else she grabbed my collar pulling closer and pressed her lips against mine.

We shared a passionate kiss .

My body was scorching hot sending a wave of electricity through me.

“ What the heck “they whispered among one another .

“Does she think this gigolo will love her?  she can't hid the fact that she is a nobody”

someone hissed.
