At break, the school forum was filled with comments about the school King and Queen.
"Guys, I'm jealous I don't feel qualified for the school Queen position. But who do you think qualifies for the position of school Queen?", someone posted.
" I think Ashton Miles is suitable for school King and for school Queen, I'd like Kersia Haymond.", another commented.
"Ashton Miles is definitely going to be School King and Ishbel Saleh would be School Queen."
"I agree, Kersia is the perfect Queen to rule"
Hey, Yaya Lee is also a perfect match for Ashton"
"No, I want Kersia"
"Have you guys lost it?"someone asked.
"No ,we can make our own choices"another replied."
"Bianca Olson is the incoming Queen of Kings and Queens High. She'd be ruling with Ashton Miles as King. Who agrees with me?"
"You're right. Our very own Bianky from the Olson's"
"OMG!!! Our Bianky ruling with Ashton. What a perfect match made in heaven."
Someone dropped a voting poll"Who rules with Ashton Miles in five months time: Kersia Haymond, Ishbel Saleh, Yaya Lee or Bianca Olson"
In less than a minute,votes came in like theflash.
Kersia Haymond with 500 votes, Ishbel Saleh with 312 votes, Yaya Lee with 207 votes and Bianca Olson with 918 votes.
"Done!" Yvonne said to Bianca with a happy look.
"Good girl" she said with a satisfied smile.
She had Yvonne set up a voting poll and convinced them to be in her favor.
...
Alex, Zen, Ray and Aston were scrolling on their phones.
Alex noticed the poll and discussions.
Alex:"Guys,have you seen the poll?"
Zen:"Yh,looks like everything is perfect."
Alex:"Sure,our Ash is gonna rule"
Zen:"And I want him to rule with Bianky"
Ashton:"Bianca Olson?"
Zen:"Yh, she's pretty and rich. Just imagine the empire you both can build together."
Alex:"No, our Ash is rich,he has his own empire. Bianca Olson might be from the second richest in the city but Ash is not gonna be for her"
Zen:"What do you mean?"
Alex:"Ash would rule if he wins the girl over"
Zen:"But it's just a bet. He's not gonna fall for her. You know that"
Ashton:"Zen is right. I'm a playboy. I'm just gonna play her"
Ray:"Like seriously?! Ash, the best advice I've got for you is; either you admit defeat and stop the challenge or you play her and you're dead"
Ashton:"Ray, would you kill me because of a girl?*
Zen:"No one can do that to our tough Ash"
Alex:"Ash has never been in love before, Zen. A jerk and a playboy is our Ash"
Ashton:"I am proud of you guys"
If there was anything Ashton felt it was difficulty, it's was not winning a girl over,was it?
After all,to be the school King or Queen, you've got to impress the students. The opinions of their school mates had the upper hand over their riches.
Their position was in the hands of their school mates.
From now till the five months was up, anyone who could be impressive enough to satisfy the crowd was a qualified candidate for the position.
...Break over...
Everyone was seated. The principal had something to share with Class E.
Principal Cobb's entered the unusually quite class with students feigning to be disciplined.
He wasn't there to have any serious discussion.
He watered down the serious mode with a homorous joke after which they had a heartily chat.
All through the conversation, Ashton sneaked peeks at the strange girl like a predator looking for a way to attack the prey. She was fixed on her book.
He wondered what she was thinking, didn't she notice that Principal Cobbs was in the class?
It amused him she did this unnoticed by anyone and he wouldn't have noticed her if she wasn't his target for his challenge.
For some reason he thought she was a ghost.
But that couldn't be the case.
Zen had noticed her and drew his attention about her.
In a way, Zen could help.
.....
Principal Cobbs was done with his chat.
He urged all the boys telling them they could also be potential opponents to Ashton Miles.
After all, five months could earn a lot.
Ashton approached Zen.
Ashton:" Zen"
Zen:" Ash, anything?"
Ashton:" No big deal. But...how did you get to notice that girl?"
Zen:" Oh, yeah. I came quite unusually early today and I bumped into her "
Ashton:"Alright. Is it the first time you've seen her?"
Zen:"Actually, I have no memory of her."
Ashton:" Thanks,bro"
Zen:" Anytime, wish you luck!"
