Chapter 3

★

Students made way for him, and girls began, wetting their pants and gasping as admiration dazzled in their eyes.

It's Roonie Banks.

* Banks?

* It's Banks!

He might be Roonie,, but no one calls him that... everyone calls him Banks, his surname.

His face is a mask of icy calm, and his features looks like they were chiseled from marble, lacking warmth

He looks like he jumped out of a brand commercial or something, so darn hot.

He's wearing simple black sweatshirt, black denims and boots, his looks are aristocratic.

There's just an effortless elegance in the way he carries himself

He doesn't need to talk, his powerful aura speaks for him, and despite his quietness, he's respected and feared, almost more than Rook.

Rook's face morphed into hateful immediately. He hates him madly__any other word better than madly? Insert that.

Pearl isn't even looking at Roonie, all she's concerned about his her phone.

Roonie's two friends are right beside him... Axel and Hyce.

They strode with him till they went out of sight in the hallway,.

* Tell me you captured his face!

* Of course! Especially the lips!

* Send me the pictures right now!

Girls began fighting to get his pictures, and Rook returned his gaze to Pearl.

Slowly, he picked the phone and handed it to her.

She snatched it and left with her friends, leaving Rook to bite his tongue vengefully.

She'd pay for this.

Getting to class, the lecturer is already in, so Pearl and her friends quickly settled down.

The class continued...

"We were talking about the business that was bought by Facebook in 2014, and the price" the lecturer said, and hush fell in the class

"Anyone " the woman repeated.

The silence continued.

"Snapchat? For 18 billion?" A new voice came from the back of the class, and everyone turned to see the owner.

Roonie!

It's the first time he talked in class, so the shock is real.

"That's dumb... it's WhatsApp, for 19 billion" Pearl replied immediately, and everyone turned to her.

"That's right, Miss Wilson" the lecturer said.

Instead of praises, Pearl received hateful glares for saying dumb.

The lecture continued, and Roonie"s eyes settled on Pearl, watching her creepily from the back like a creep...that he is.

They had four classes consecutively, and immediately they finished up, Morgan jumped in front of Pearl's desk.

"You called Banks dumb? Bitch you're an icon! Girls will eat you!"

"Blah blahfuçking blah" Pearl rolled eyes, and Lizzy laughed with Rebekah.

"But damn, his naturally sleepy voice! I'd do anything to hear him call me baby with it! Seriously if I don't fûck that guy, I'd kidnap him on his wedding day" Morgan chirped.

"Morgan!" Rebekah coughed as her laughter got louder.

"Party again tonight? Need to get high again" Pearl said, leaving the class.

"Wait up!" The girls ran after her.

*

SCHOOL PARK*

Roonie arrived with his friends just now, all looking exhausted especially Hyce.

The two are just as handsome.

"You intentionally said the wrong answer to make her talk to you in class earlier, yes?" Axel said.

"Obviously" Roonie replied simply, climbing his power bike.

"And what's up with you and her? I can't stand the tension anymore" Axel pressed further, bringing Roonie's helmet out of the car.

"Are you taking over Hyce's duty today? You became the talkative" Roonie raised his thick brows.

Hyce lowered his hoodie cap and and let out a cough intentionally on Axel's face.

"Dude, fûck!" Axel pushed him back.

"Uncle Edward offered to come make dinner tonight" Roonie announced.

"Tell me his wife is the one doing the cooking" Hyce paled up.

"She's on a trip" Roonie replied, holding the bike handlebars.

"I'd rather go paralyzed than eat your uncle's food again. He should be banned from the kitchen" Hyce said, and Axel laughed.

"Ciao" Roonie said casually, and Axel threw him the helmet.

He wore it and drove off on his power bike.

Axel and Hyce entered the car and drove off behind him.

"Banks!" A girl rushed into the park, breathing heavily as sweat covered her face.
