Mathews POV

I have to figure out how to bail on that,

never really knew how to bond with him, his freaking four a nineteen years gap common.

I always thought I'd be an only child but noooooo they had to have another kid.

I started the engine of my black 2024 BMW but shut it off immediately ,opted for the bus instead , just a 20 min walk anyway.

My dad always liked to rub in on how rich we were, buying the latest of everything which was pretty annoying. I know I should be grateful but still, it was getting to much for me.

I remember in high school when the other kids would call me spoiled brat or befriend me cause I was rich, only to be used as an ATM machine.

On my way to the bus stop, didn't want to talk to anyone let alone greet anybody I threw on my hoodie and blasted the music on my headphones.

Just as I reached the stop the bus arrived.

I went straight to the farthest seat at the back where no one could disturb me.

I became pretty antisocial this past 4 years.

I remembered I told my mother I'd call her, so brought out my phone and click the first name there.

"Hey kiddo" Susan answered

"Hey Sue" I responded with a low voice

30 min had passed and I finally arrived at my destination I said my goodbyes and ended the call.

I paid the bus conductor and got down the bus.

This is it... Ronvil academy.

*sighs*

I stepped into the campus already familiar with the place, all because of Her....she practically forced me too and I fell in love with the place. It was her dr....our dream...it was our dream college.

It feels so wrong to be here without her.

Mehnnn this is harder than I thought.

As I walked through  the big black gates I'm  greeted with a statue of Henry Ronvil.

A round looking man , who looks like he ate the entire KFC chicken.

You know the monopoly man?...yeah a mixture of him and Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a Penguin in the Batman series.

I walked passed it and turned to the right.

They are a bunch of buildings  that I couldn't careless about I just don't want to be late for my first well not first, last actually this is my last semester as a business management major then I'll be graduating. Speaking of being late what   time is it?

Shoot it's 8:25 ,five more mins and my class starts I need to make a run for it .

———————————

Not less than 2min

I made it to the lecture hall.

" Matt?... is that you?" A soft familiar voice called out for me.

I turned to face her.

" Hey Ashley... long time no see." I answered placing my hands in the pockets of my hoodie.

" No way!! It is actually you

" No way!! It is actually you." She rushed to hug me.

I froze and didn't return the hug, feeling awkward she let go and moved back.

I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding.

She looked at me and brushed a strand of her red hair and tucked it behind  her ear, her fair skin turning a tad red. Was she freaking blushing why the hell would she be blushing after everything.

"I tried to call you many times but you never picked." She said

"I ...Uhh yeah ... sorry been busy ..umm I'll see you later Ash my classes are about to start."

I said giving her a tight smile.

" oh ..  yeah sure see you later? " She said more of a question than a statement

"Oh yeah Ryan is here as well...I can't wait to let him know your here , he will be so happy to see you."

I was already half way through the door not really paying attention to what she said so just nodded my head in response.

I did hear her mention Ryan, what about Ryan?

I took a seat and started to bring my laptop out of my bag. They were a about five student here which meant I was not the only student running late.

After a few min more students began to fill the hall and the Professor arrived shortly later.

"Okay... settle down ... ahhh Mr Clover is great to finally meet you in person, rather than my computer screen." He chuckled the last part.

All eyes were on me and I hated the attention.

"Good morning Mr Felix, and likewise ." I responded.

He smiled and began his lectures.

A few hours later....

"That will be all for today." Said professor Felix.

Finally two more classes to go then home sweet home.

"Oh before I forget class... this semester the faculty has decided to try a new system , more like a new way to see how you utilise your knowledge, especially the business side. We will be pairing you with random students from campus to see

how you strategies on helping them achieve their goals, any questions?"

"Is it compulsory too take on this project?" A random student asked.

Mr Felix adjusted his glasses and answered.

"Well Mr Rogers, it will be doubling your current credit scores.."

The entire class gasped way to loud for my liking.

"You don't have too .. but I'll advise you too. This will be your chance to redeem yourself... for those who haven't been doing quite so well this semester."

"And also class be sure to check your emails I will be sending you details of your clients."He said

I gathered my things and was the first to leave the hall.

I made it through my first class, nothing new was said I already knew half of the things he mentioned so didn't need to jot anything new down.

But this project took me by surprise and I'm really not looking forward to it.

Next up literature, I still have like about twenty mins till it starts so maybe I can make a stop at the food court I am a bit hungry.
