GIOVANNI I stood frozen in the middle of the Hallway, I could practically feel stares boring into me, and I could hear the whispers echoing around me. The bitter aroma of the coffee hit my nostrils, and the heat seeped through my shirt burning my skin but the physical sting was nothing compared to the emotional blow of her words. “Take your tantrums to mommy.” For the very first time. I, Giovanni Atticus Malvetti, heir to the malvetti empire was publicly ridiculed and it was by a mere scholarship student. A piercing snarl of laughter cut through the air. I didn’t have to turn around to know it was Nathan and Alessandro, stupid childhood friends. Alessandro, clutched his chest feigning a heart attack. “Oh, my God! Giovanni publicly humiliated by a scholarship student! Is the world about to end? “ My goodness,” Nathan wheezed. his face turning into a shade of red. “Did that actually happen? Or Am I dreaming? Did the scholarship girl just tell the heir to the Malvetti empire to

GIOVANNI I stood frozen in disbelief as I stared at the matte black Lora Piano bag and cashmere sweater now swallowed by empty water bottles and greasy napkins. She didn't even wait to see my reaction, she simply turned, grabbed her friend, then disappeared into the hallway not even sparing me a glance. “Ouch,” Nathan drawled, stepping out from the shadow of the hallway, his voice filled with amusement. “ Gio, it seems your charms are malfunctioning. You might want to get that checked out before midterms. Could be terminal” “ Shut up, Nate,” I hissed, my jaw tightened and my fists balled until my nails bit into my palms. “ She's a tough nut to crack, Gio.” Alessandro pushed off the wall, hands in his pockets, his expression caught between concern and amusement. “Oh well,that's Zero for one, brother.

He tried to lunge at me but l was faster, I shoved him down hard and he scrambled reaching for the knife but I kicked it away before his fingers could reach it and I stepped on his fingers with my shoes, the sound of metal skidding across the wall and his screams echoed across the alley.I leaned down towards him, gripped his shirt, and his body completely froze, “ You don't get any weapons.” I grabbed him again and slammed him into the dumpster, the impact knocked the breath out him.I held him by his throat, slammed him against the brick wall and drove my knee into his stomach, the air whooshed out with him in a bloody cough."You have two seconds to disappear," I hissed, my face a few in
