บททั้งหมดของ A Second Chance With Arthur?: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

6 years agoLylahI looked out of the window, staring at the students that moved around. Some hold their lunch box, while others run around with food from the canteen. They were happy, happy for the break.I looked at my lunch box that keeper Jane had packed before I left the mansion. I took a deep breath and closed it before putting it inside the lunch bag. Knowing the break was going to be over soon, I slipped my AirPods into my ears, the familiar soft touch reducing the noise around me.“Her ears are blocked, her ears are blocked!” Anna’s voice sounded from the front as I rested my head on the desk. Soon her friends would join her.And they did.“Did you see her lunch box?”“Yes, yes, I did. I searched it immediately, and guess what?”She must have shown them her phone because they all gasped.“The rich surely spend luxuriously even on little items.”“Why did you say it like you aren't rich too?” They all laughed.“I am but compared to her family rank,” She scoffed, “ My family is

It was lunch time again, but I didn't bring food from home this time. I munched on the bread I'd bought in a convenience store earlier as I looked down from the rooftop. As usual, students moved around, all happy.“Are you sure about it?”“Yes! While looking for you, I’ve heard the principal saying he has to let the student in because he doesn't have a choice, so I'm guessing he must be from a high-ranking family.”“He has to be. It's the mid-term, and students are not allowed in, especially for seniors. I wondered what would suddenly make the person want to change school.”“The rich do whatever they like. Knowing he is from the state makes everything better. I can only wish for him to be jaw-dropping, I'm tired of those jigsaw boys,” She whined, and the other laughed.They were coming to smoke, and they must not have noticed me yet.I wondered who was coming to our school at this time. School was about to be lousy again, and I could only hope the newcomer wouldn't be a bully. Those

I gave her space as she walked.“Why are we following the class president? I don't think she would like that.”“What rank are you?” Liam asked Selena.“My father owns four companies in the state.”“Hmm, that’s not bad. Why are we following the class president, Arthur? Don't tell me you found a new hobby now,”I think I might have found one.I turned to him and smiled, and he shook his head.She entered a room with a broadcast sign on top. I stopped at the door.“Oh, maybe she wants to announce the meeting with the class president.”Just then, the speaker echoed.“All class presidents should gather at the auditorium now.”It suddenly went silent, and I wondered if she was done so quickly. And yes, she was done as she walked out of the room.It was short yet commanding. She looked at us.“Hi, President, I'm Liam, Arthur’s best friend.” Liam stretched out his hand, but she only looked at it like it could burn.“Are you from the state, too?” She asked.Liam nodded, the fool grinning. She

As expected, it did.My head was heavy when I walked towards my class. Lena had grown out of her mind by missing different alcohol in the cocktail. Though I’ve never gotten drunk, I had agreed mindlessly when she asked if I wanted one, and here I was now, wishing I had never taken even a drop.“President, please follow me to my office.”“Oh.”I didn't know when Mr Ben appeared in front of me. With my bag, I followed him.“I should have let you drop your bag. Forgive me for that.” He spoke as we got to his office, he sat down, and I took the seat opposite him.“After the mid-term test, the principal thought it would be best for a mini vacation to be granted to the students, especially the seniors, as a way to refresh. What do you think?”There was no need to ask me, but then, I was always included in everything in school.“We can do that, and,” I suddenly remembered the request of the class presidents that I’ve written then. I took out the paper and handed it over to him.“These are th

PresentCarlyI don't know how I got here. Yesterday, mother suddenly called to inform me about the family meeting each other. She said Father prepared it to be today. Father was indeed taking my words seriously.So here I was, in Arthur's family mansion, and sitting opposite Arthur. Beside him are his grandfather and father. Mother sits beside me with Father by her side. At first glance, anyone would think this was a happy union, but it wasn't.Arthur's eyes were on me, and I was getting uncomfortable every minute. The last time I saw him was at the club, and the next day, I agreed to the press about the engagement.I had expected him to call or ask for us to meet, but nothing came.“It's great, finally seeing you in person, Ms Carly.” Arthur's Father spoke with a warm smile. I could see the resemblance between his smile and Arthur’s.I nodded back at him with a smile.“Your daughter definitely took after your whole look, Mrs Trevor.” He complimented mom, who smiled gently at him.
