Until December

Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8:

Grace Evans/ John Evans.

"Hey, John!"

"How are you doing John?"

"Hi, John!"

"Are you coming to the party tonight?" All these questions were asked to me by the random class fellows as I was passing through the hallway of the school.

"I'm still thinking about it. Not sure if I'll make it this time." I told the person who asked me the question.

"Come on man, you gotta make it. After all, you're the life of the party!" He exclaimed and I chuckled lightly.

"I'll see what I can do," I said and continued to take my steps towards the classroom.

I entered the classroom and saw Isabella on her usual spot. She saw me and came towards me.

"Hey, John! Good to see you on time." She said and I smiled at her.

It's been 15 days since the day when I asked her about the people in this school. Yes, 15 days have passed since I took a step into this school. In this span of two weeks, I got to know a lot of people and in a little amount of time I got recognized by a lot of people. Somehow, I ended up being popular in school due to my looks, charm and personality.

Lucy, also known as the Queen Bee, hasn't given up on me yet. Yes, she's still after me and no matter how much I humiliate her. . . she doesn't just back out.

Because of Isabella, I was able to get to know people around here promptly and adequately. I've made sure that no class fellow will ever be able to bully her again. She's been smiling more nowadays and looks a bit confident than her past self. She's the only one here who I can call a friend here.

I've settled my ground in this school and the fun is about to begin. I am good at studying, best at sports and with these skills everyone around me started loving me. Sure, there are a few people who hate me to their core but do I care? I don't. . .

One thing is still missing. Isabella said that there is a boy group of some rebellious filthy rich guys who decided to start their senior year late. They are the most famous guys in school as well as they are pretty famous in the country too. Everyone in the school knows them and the recognition that I'm getting is nothing in front of them.

I wonder who they are and when I will be able to meet them. For some reason, I was looking forward to meeting them. It's getting boring here with no competition around me.

Nathaniel has been quite busy moving into his new apartment. I offered to help him but he told me to focus on school.

"Can I copy your homework, John?" Asked Isabella, she was sitting beside me and her eyes were glued to my homework. I sighed and gave her my homework.

"Try to do it on your own sometimes Isabella," I said and she sticks out her tongue cutely. In the school student confession portal, there is a rumour of me and Isabella dating but then again who doesn't they ship me up with? Every day I've been paired with a random girl and I've stopped giving attention. From the past two weeks, there's not a single day when I was not on the portal. The portal was another reason for me getting famous in a quick period.

I yawned and was about to sleep when suddenly a lot of notification tones could be heard from all the students in the class including mine. The people around us started gossiping and suddenly I felt the tension in the room. What the hell is going on?

I looked at Isabella and her reaction was quite priceless too. She was stunned looking at her phone.

"They are back John!" Said Isabella. Who? Who is back?

I saw Lucy smirking and girls laughing in Joy. I guess I need to check it myself. I pulled out my phone from my pants pocket and checked the portal. In the headlines, it was written; "From the latest sources, it has come to be known that the famous billionaire's son's group is back."

"What is the meaning of this Isabella?" I asked her in a deep tone.

"Remember I told you that there is a group in school who holds the most power financially and politically. These boys belong to the noblest and wealthiest family in this country. Their power is so high that you can't imagine John. . . Their popularity is incomparable and people around here are scared to offend them so I just suggest you stay away from them as much as you can" Said Isabella in one breath.

"Chill out Isabella. They're just some people. You shouldn't be scared of them just because they're rich or have power. Look at you, you're looking so pale. Do they also bully you?" I asked her.

"No, they don't talk to people unless it's really important. All the guys live in their zone. As we were talking I saw all the girls and boys dashing out of the class.

"They're leaving to welcome them. I think they have arrived." Said Isabella.

"Then why are we sitting here? Let's go and see what is so special about them except their richness." I grabbed Isabella's hand and took her with me outside.

The harsh wind was blowing and I could hear the loud choppers. Isabella wasn't kidding when she said that they like to flaunt their richness. I saw all the girls squealing and suddenly all the guys got tense. The students made some space for the choppers to land on the ground.

The door opened from the first chopper and two guys came out. The other chopper landed and then again two guys came out.

With elegance, they walked past the students. The girls were squealing so loud that I wanted to cover my ears. One glare from one of the guys was enough to make all the boys shiver in fear.

Without giving much attention to anyone, all four of them entered the school and vanished off somewhere.

"Who are they?" I asked Isabella.

"Seriously John? I've told you about them multiple times. They are someone you can't afford to offend. They are-" She said but I chatted her off in the middle.

"What I mean is who are they? Give me some information about all of them individually." I told her and she sighed.

"They must have gone into the Dean room. . . I have a bad feeling about this. Let's go to the cafeteria. I'll tell you about them there." Said Isabella and I nodded.

All through the way, I could hear people talking about the rich boy group. Now, exactly how much influence do they hold?

Isabella and I both sit down in the cafeteria. There were not so many people present there.

"I'll start from the start." Said Isabella and I nodded.

"The tall, dark and handsome one is Caleb McCannon. He's 18 years old. Good in studies, friendly in nature. Belongs to an elite and highly influential family. He's the only one in the group who at least initiates a conversation with other people. He's the nicest one in his group." Said Isabella and I recalled how Caleb looked. So the one wearing the blue coat was Caleb.

"The next one is Tyson Matthew. He's also 18 years old. Cocky, arrogant, good-looking but a manwhore. Stubborn and a rebel. He's bad in his studies but always passes due to rich parents' influence. Belongs to a powerful background." She said and I made a mental note to have a game with this guy. This one sounds Interesting.

Isabella continued. "The one wearing the glasses is Noah Strafford. He's also 18 years old and is the nerd of the group. His IQ and boyish looks made him famous among ladies. Being a part of Damon's group is like icing on the cake. He also belongs to a high-level family. Can't afford to offend him." She said,

"Who's Damon?" I asked her. Isabella looked a bit pale hearing his name coming out of my mouth.

"He's the leader of this group. The richest, noblest and powerful among them all. The most handsome and serious guy in school, With his charming, straightforward and influential personality every girl wants to be with him and every guy wants to be like him. He and his group members rule this school because all the shares of this school belong to their families so logically this school belongs to them." She said and my pupils dilated. They indeed are not normal people.

"Remember to stay away from them especially Damon Jax, he's not good news for anyone." Said Isabella.

The decorum of the school changed. Suddenly I could feel the gloominess around me. Yes, I admit that I do ask for challenges but from what I've heard about them. I think it's going to be fun.

I can't wait to have an interaction with them. Let's see what this group has gotten for me. I couldn't help but smile internally.

"John. . . why are you smiling?" Asked Isabella. She looked concerned looking at me.

"Nothing. . . Isabella. . . Nothing." I told her. She thinks that I'll get scared by the rich kid group. The Rich kids still don't know who Grace Evans is and this Grace using the identity of John's will make their life upside down.
