As I walked from the bus stop to the school building, I see them standing near their expensive cars. Standing tall, their faces covered with expensive make ups as they smile at each other as they talked. Their uniforms perfectly ironed with no hints of wrinkle as I walked passed them. We have the same uniform, but it seems like they make the uniform look much more expensive and magazine worthy.

The school is split into three groups: the rich, the stars, and the smart ones, It is so sad, that we actually still have this division in school. The rich usually consist of children with rich backgrounds, mostly celebrities and business families, the stars consists of the children who are gifted in both sports and academics and who are also rich, and then there is the smart ones- who is struggling to make it through school because of the two groups above them. We are the ones who relies on the scholarship and trying to just get through this prestigious school in hope of brighter future.

This school is bigger compare to the other private school in the city because a lot of the alumni's has been supporting the school's excellent educations and success of the students with donations.

I see Ian Collins, the popular narcissistic bad-boy, with his usual scowl on his handsome face.I don't recall him smiling and greeting anyone in school except his two best friends.His uniform, neat like always except his brunette hair which was a mess, but he still looked beautiful.Everything about him screamed rich and expensive. His two best friends Eli and Cooper walked beside him, talking about something, but he seemed disinterested. Eli and Cooper, are the friends that you wish to have. They are handsome, but most importantly they are loyal to those they befriend. They have been a very loyal friend of Ian for a very long time. Rumours has it, that they were friends since kindergarten, but who knows?

"Ellison." My best friend, Claire snapped me out of my thoughts. Let me introduce you to Claire Wilson. My best friend since elementary school.Funny thing is how we ended up in the same high school together. She is beautiful, she is what I would say a natural beauty. She can just wake up from bed and still look beautiful with her beauty.

"Claire." I greeted. "How was your piano class yesterday?" I asked.

She grimaced. "I just embarrassed myself in front of Cooper." Her face, flushed a bit. She has a long time, crush on Cooper for a while. Cooper being the popular one in school, must have lots of people who likes him.I think the whole school kisses the ground those three walks on. They are tall, mysterious and rich.

"I'm sure it was fine." I nudged her lightly.

"Sure, it was." She replied, sarcastically.

I see Brooke and her two friends making their way towards them. Brooke, just like them seemed to have stepped out from the magazine, she is always up to date with trends and designs.I heard she wants to study fashion designing in college.

"Let's go." Claire said as she pulled me along with her, sighing. Cooper's attention was solely on the girl who he was talking to.I felt bad for Claire and give her a quick side hug.

"You have me." I beamed at her.

She chuckled. "Right." She wiggle her eyebrow at me. "Are you working this evening?"

"Yes." I said, she give me a pout. "Someone needs to earn for college."

"Right." She said. "But you are off this Sunday, right?"

"Exactly." I smiled.

She pulled me towards our classroom. She seemed to be the most exciting one when it comes to studying. Do you guys know of this unspoken rules where if I sit here all the time, it means it is my designated spot and you cannot sit on it? Apparently, some of them don't understand that as I see one guy sitting in my damn spot. I scowled as I now have to look for another spot which was all the way back in the classroom. I made sure to give him glares as I walked towards the back of the class, while Claire waved at me and give me a thumb's up. I returned it with less enthusiasm and looked at that guy again, glaring at his back of his head.

The chair beside me squeaked as I looked at the person beside me. As far as I know, he sits in the middle of the class. Ian Collins, sat beside me very casually as he avoided my gaze. He stared, straight ahead and I simply shrugged and pulled out my binder. Guess, even the popular children can lose their spots to someone.

In the middle of the class, he started tapping his pencil on the desk and I almost stood up and flipped his table up-side down for his rudeness. It seemed like a funny thought at first, but I am no Hulk and if I do that- Mrs. Coleman will send me to detention. I pouted at that thought.

The bell rang, just in time and I shut the book loudly as students started talking.

"Hey.." I heard him say, assuming that he was talking to someone else.

"Claire." I called her out, as I waved at her and ran towards her. I was hoping she didn't notice that Ian sat beside me during the class, but she did and I think the whole class did as well.

"What was he like?" She asked, excitedly.

"Annoying like he seemed." I said, thoughtfully. "He kept tapping his pencil on the table."

She cringed, she understands me very well.

"Hey." I heard him called out and this time I turned around to see. While turning, my hair flipped and hit him on his face. Poor kid, I thought to myself and then, realization hit me. He is not the poor kid. I am the poor kid because I just flipped my hair and hit his precious face and maybe he dislikes me now or he already does. But, do I care? Not really.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked, as he snapped me out of my thoughts.

"What's wrong with me?" I asked, confused.

He give me a look as he handed me my fanny pack. My eyes widened and Claire started panicking. "Sh*t." She cussed. "I didn't notice that."

"You better be keeping an eye on this one." He said with a straight face as he handed me my fanny pack.I didn't even realize that it slipped and fell. He turned and walked towards his friends.

I opened my Fanny pack to check on the Epipen and I sighed in relieved as I see it in front of me. I put the fanny pack on as I looked at Claire, who seemed pale.

"It's fine." I said to her.

She shook her head, horrified. "It's not fine." She said. "Anything could have happened."

"It's fine." I reassured her as I pulled her with me to our next class. At least, that guy was smart enough to return it back. I forgot to thank him too, but I don't think he will remember me. I am just one of the many people he encounters and forget.
