Sold to Mr. Arrogant

Chapter 4: An opportunity

I got down but found out that they had already finished eating; the cook gave me a toast to eat in the

car since I would be late if I sat down and ate in the kitchen. I was sitting in the car, it is the first time

that someone ever drives me somewhere and I have to say that it was a nice experience.

The driver opened the car's door and I stepped out, the college was huge, I heard about its name

before but it is my first time seeing it. My friends from my old college called me when I was passing the

college's gate.

" Hey, Lily. Where are you, it is already past 7, the first section will start soon." Diana, my childhood

friend stated.

" I won’t go for a while. I will meet with ya soon, we will talk then."

" Okay." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I doubted for some reason that my mobile could be hacked, I had that feeling and I did not want to risk

saying something I should not have that would reach Gerald's ears. It seems that he hit the maid just to

force me into obeying his order, his ways are different and weird. I can't really say they are weird since

this ambiance is not my normal average one, I am new to all this after all so I may be the weird one

there.

I went to the director's office so he would give me my schedule and instruct me on the college's rules. I

was enrolled in a college of pharmacy and I feared that this university would not have a pharmacy

college but luckily, it did. I want to be a pharmacist since I was a little child; I like chemistry and

combining different compounds.

My first period was Pharmacology and the doctor didn't expect to see me entering with the director to

introduce me to the class in the middle of the years. It seems that the director is taking good care of me

to an extent that attracted everyone's attention; no director accompanies one of the newly transferred

students to their class.

" Hello, I am Lily Anderson; I like hip-hop music and all sorts of sports. It is nice to meet you." I said

heading to an empty seat at the back left of the class next to the window.

The boy in front of me turned his head and initiated a conversation.

“ Hey I am Penny, nice to meet you too, what college were you in?" he asked.

The girl next to him also looked at me and waited for me to respond.

I assumed that it would be a headache to say my real college since it is unknown to them, a college of

the poorest families while this one seems to be famous and highly hard to enroll in.

" I was home tutored," I lied.

" Whoa, that's cool... doesn't that mean you don't have many friends here, right?" the girl asked.

" I am Alicia by the way," she winked.

" No, I don't," I replied getting uncomfortable with their questions, their clothes were so shiny and most

probably so expensive; I understand now why Gerald insisted that I wear the clothes in my closet.

" Mr. Penny and Mrs. Alicia. You should focus on this class or you will be doomed in the finals, you

already got very bad grades in the mid-term." The professor commented.

They were embarrassed when the whole class laughed and quickly fixed their position focusing on the

board.

Alicia threw me a paper though and I read it.

‘Let’s become friends.'

I didn't know honestly whether I should make any friends or not, I came here for a sole purpose which

is monitoring Shawn for the time being and setting him straight but I don't even know what college is he

in nor how to do that.

It was break time and I was sitting with Alicia and Penny in the cafeteria, I hoped to spot Shawn and I

did. He was sitting two tables away from me on my left side, he chatted with a girl that wore high heels

and put on a load of makeup, she was so beautiful though.

" Are you already interested in Shawn?" Penny asked.

" No, the girl just attracted my attention."

" Oh, she is Molly. The college's number one cheerleader, your typical attention-whore." Alicia replied.

" She and Shawn are dating," Penny added.

" They look so spoiled," I murmured but unluckily they heard me.

" Molly, yes. Shawn, no." Penny corrected.

" What do you mean?"

" He started his own business when he was 12 years old, do you know the Femury brand?"

" The perfume's brand Femury?" I asked.

" Yes, he is the one who created this brand and even combined the compounds himself to reach that

odor everyone admires," Penny explained.

" Wait, does this mean he is..."

" Yes, he is also in our college," Alicia affirmed me.

" He is in the next class as well; you will have a chance to meet the notorious Shawn Gerald." Penny

laughed.

We finished eating and headed to our next class, concluded that the best option to get closer with him

is to be on the same project as him. I do not know when that is going to be so I had to create an

opportunity.

Before the prof entered the class, I stopped him to ask him about the grading system.

" It is as I told you earlier, Lily. Do you have any more questions?" the English prof asked.

" Aren't we going to make a debate? In my old college, I was going to participate in one but

unfortunately, I had to transfer. I always wished to practice my English in a serious interaction."

" Nice idea, Lily. That could be your next assignment instead of writing a report. It was time to change

the theme a little bit."

We entered the class and I waited for it to end so he would announce the news to the whole class.

" Okay guys, that's it for today. Your assignment for this week would be a debate, you are 20 in total,

and you will be divided into four groups debating two topics. I will leave the topics for you to choose.

The first row against the second and the third row against the fourth." The prof said before leaving.

Bingo, I will be on the same side as Shawn and Penny while Molly and Alicia will be against us.
