Chapter 1

"Wait!! ""Isn't that Steve, the school rat?" "Yes, he is." "Why is he going towards Mia?" "I heard they dated." "Who will date the school rat?" It's good she left him. "He can't afford to buy himself a better cloth." The murmurs from the students were loud enough for Steve to hear, but he wasn't bothered by their words. All he wanted to do at that moment was find Mia and ask her about the things he heard. He kept looking around, trying to catch a glimpse of her. Mia loves him. She said she does. She can't do this to him. Why will she leave him for someone else? not just anyone, but his best friend, Kirk. It's all a joke. The school knows that rich Mia is dating the school rat, which is him, and they are all jealous, which is why they spread a rumor that circulated around the school. He entered a class and finally caught sight of Mia at the far end of the room, along with her friends, chatting and laughing loudly. "Oh God, Mia. "I finally found you," he said and rushed towards her. Her three friends slowly stood up, giving Mia a chance to see who was approaching her. If it's not the school rat, call Steve without a surname. The boy who everyone despised They all had a pissed and annoyed expression on their faces. If there was one thing they hated, it was associating with the school rats. The prestigious university has a lot of ranks. It can be the most beautiful female student or the most handsome male student in the school. It can be the richest students in the school. It can be the most brilliant students in the school, and it can also be the poorest students in the school. They are not let out of the ranking system. Steve is actually a famous student, but he is one of the poorest students in the school. He can't afford to buy himself better clothes and is always in rags. Not just that, he is also ranked the ugliest student in school. How can someone be this unfortunate? Mia rolled her eyes when she saw him approaching her. Of course, they dated, but it was all a bet. She made a bet with her friends to date the poor, annoying rat, and five million dollars was her prize. Yes, five million dollars. Who wouldn't want that kind of money? She is among the rich students in school. She is the tenth rich student. Her family is among the founders of the school. But still, five million dollars is a lot of money. She wanted to use that money to buy her dream car, and that was why she went ahead with the bet as her father wouldn't get her one until she passed her exams. Well, not all beauties are brilliant. She is not one of the smartest students in school. Now, the bet is over, and she has a new boyfriend, but this Steve wants to piss her off. "Thank God I found you; I have been searching everywhere for you." He asked out of breath. He had rushed over with a racing heart, and now that he was before her, he felt as though he had run a four hundred meter race. He bent a bit, with his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath, with his face facing the ground. The voice he heard next made his heart skip a beat. "Why have you been searching for me?" Her voice sounded peeved, not the usual way she talks to him. He hated that voice. The voice the students use when talking to him That irritated voiceHe raised his face and caught her hostile gaze on him. He laughed nervously, choosing to ignore the voice he used earlier, and straightened up. "I kind of hear a rumor about you dating Kirk, but why will that even be possible?" "Kirk is my best friend, and you are my girlfriend," he said, scratching the back of his neck. The students in the class, hearing him, all turned their attention to him with shocked expressions on their faces. There were rumors about Mia and Steve dating because they had been close for the past two months, but Mia would always tell them in class that they weren't dating, which they believed because why would one of the richest students in school want to date the poorest student in school? It's not like those crazy fairy tale movies they have watched or books they have read. Mia, noticing all eyes were on her, felt embarrassed. She stood up and pointed a finger at him. "How dare you say something like that?" You dare you say we are dating? How can I date the school rat? Someone as poor as you? Do you know who I am? "Mia Lawson, the daughter of one of the founders of this school, and you say I date you, the school rat?" Steve was taken aback by her statement, not expecting her outburst. Everything around him went dark as what she said resounded in his head. School rat? Mia just called him a school rat. His Mia. "Wha......what.....are..... you....sa......saying?" He shuddered as he felt as though a crack had been made in his heart. Those words from her mouth were like double-edged swords thrown at her heart. Maybe she was just playing a joke on her. That is his Mia. She doesn't mean what she just said. She is the only one in the school who always tells him not to mind the words of others and that he will one day become as rich as she is. It can't be her talking, or maybe she is just saying it because people are there. But his mother will always defend him. Maybe this is just a bet or something. He smiled, "Mia," but was rudely cut off by her pushing him away. "Leave my way and go look for someone who will date you." How dare you play this prank? Don't you ever insult me by saying I am dating you, you dirty, ugly rat. "Stay away from me and never say those words or you will regret your existence in this world." She added and pushed him away. "What is going on, Mia?" "What is happening?" he asked, getting confused with the whole situation. Could it be true that she was dating Kirk, his best friend? No, that will be impossible. "Is the rumor about you dating Kirk true?" he asked, halting her from going through the door. Mia sighed in exasperation and faced him, pissed off that the guy wouldn't let her be. "I am dating Kirk," she bluntly said. Steve felt his world go into a dark pit when she said that. How could that be true? Mia can't date Kirk. "How can I date someone like him?" Someone so poor and wretched? "I mean, guys, c'mon," she said to the whole class, which in turn started laughing and kicking at Steve, calling him a lover boy. Mia hissed out loud and left the class. It took Steve minutes to get himself together before he ran after her. He did need answers to his questions. Why did she call him poor? something she has never done or said. He was able to catch up with her before she entered his classroom. The same class that Kirk was in was in the department of estates and surveys.He held her hand and made her face him, but instead I got a deafening slap on his cheeks. "Can you let me be?" How dare you touch me, you filthy thing? Don't you have any sense in that brain of yours? What do you take me for? "Someone that can date a poor idiot like you?" She asked in a loud voice, audible for students in his class and the other classes on that floor to hear. She was so angry and peeved because of the miserable guy who wouldn't let her be. Now that she's gotten the money she won, she has nothing to do with him anymore, but he doesn't want to leave. She slapped him on his other cheek and pushed him hard, pushing him to the wall, where he hit his head hard. "You disgust me." Not even in your dreams will I ever date you. You can't even afford to buy yourself decent clothes, and you think you can afford me? I am way past that, bro. Stay away and go meet those female rats in your situation. I am sure most of them will be willing to date you. "So please..." she joined her palms. "Stay away from me." The pain Steve felt in his head wasn't enough to compare to the one he felt in his heart. He loves Mia so much, and he thought she felt the same, but now, reality was drawing him in. He was poor and ugly, but he was blessed with smarts and brilliance. He was wise enough to know she only made those two months of his life memorable for a reason. Two days ago, she brought a new car to school. A car worth millions of dollarsIt was all drawn on him; he was just a bettor.
