Ramon nodded with his gaze fixed on Mark. "Here is a school where there is discrimination. We have the kings, chiefs, and the citizens. Xavier belongs to the king's category.

They can do whatever they want on the university campus and get away with it. Not only him but some of the kids with rich parents too. The chiefs are mainly under the kings and they are checked by the kings. The citizens, I can say much. Which category do you belong to? "Mark asked looking at Ramon.

Ramon smiled "I don't have to be obsessed with the hierarchy here. I just want to study and graduate with flying colors." He replied and walked away. Mark looked at him and smiled, "I love his spirit." He walked away as he looked at Ramon.

The day spun fast and Ramon was on his way home when he was almost hit by a luxurious car. Fuming, Ramon looked at the driver's seat and watched as the lady got down from the car. "Can you look where you are going?!"

Ramon felt he was offended "Look where you are going? You just tried to ram into me. As you are here telling me to look where I am going?" he shouted at her. Chloe said nothing but simply drove out of the University grounds with Ramon steering at the neatly white car.

The week has been etic for Ramon with him trying to balance his daily life and school work. He had gotten a minimal job and was now working at a cafe which was time-consuming.

Getting to school the following day, he felt a little dizzy and as he was walking into the cafeteria, he didn't look up when he felt a hot chocolate poured on him. Rain shouted feeling his skin burned and when he looked up, he was surprised to see it was the same nasty lady he had an ugly encounter with. " You again?"

Ramon looked at her and back at his clothes. " I am so sorry," Chloe begged trying to wipe the stain off his clothes.

"Sorry?

Do you think this would remove the stain or something.?" He asked looking at her

Many of the students all stopped and wondered what Chloe was doing with a tattered-looking student. They all knew Ramon to be intelligent but none of them wanted to have anything to do with him. He was a citizen and he was even on a scholarship. " I can get you another one. If you don't mind.

I am Chloe by the way." She said with her hand outstretched to Ramon who looked at her hand with a dangling bracelet on it. " Keep your clothes." He replied coldly and walked away.

Chloe looked at him and wondered why Ramon was not taking the opportunity to jump at her.

She was a queen in the university would jump to have a date with her. Although her target had always been Xavier. Both were too arrogant to admit they wanted each other.

Ramon was on his way back home when he saw a white car parked in front of his house. He walked into his compound and saw some men in black suits. He was about to feisty with them when Chloe walked out of the car.

"How do you know I live here?" Ramon asked looking at her face. " Leave. " He said coldly without looking at her face.

Chloe felt a little taken aback and wondered which planet Ramon was from. " I am here to apologize and can we be friends? I know we are in the same department and I could use someone like you as a friend."

"No, I want nothing to do with the likes of you," Ramon replied.

"If you won't be my friend, the. would you be my boyfriend?" Chloe's lips parted and Ramon turned back to look at her.

"Are you nut? You just met me and you are asking me to be your boyfriend. Do you ask every guy you poured chocolate mint on to be your man? "He asked staring at Chloe who had her face all pinky

"No, just you," she replied honestly.

Ramon laughed seeing the look on her face making Chloe a little embarrassed. The two got closer that day and we're always teens together on the university ground.

Many of the students wondered why a queen would decide I date a citizen. Many said she was using Ramon because he was intelligent while some said Ramon was extorting money from Chloe. Xavier heard about Ramon dating Chloe and wondered who the new guy was. Xavier made some findings and noticed they had met before. "Is this the guy?" Xavier asked looking at Steven.

"Yes," Steve. replied, "Do you know him?"

    "Not really. He just moved into my neighborhood. How dare he steal the woman I had my eyes on." Xavier clenched his fist. Xavier immediately sends Steve to Chloe and confesses his love to her. Weeks flew by and Ramon noticed Chloe had stopped calling him or coming to him with her arithmetics. He wondered what was going on. He was just coming back from a lecture when he saw the student were all gathered right in front of the school garden with their phone out. Ramon feeling a little tired wanted to go back home but then he heard that Xavier was proposing to Chloe. "Chloe? Is that my Chloe?" The word slipped out of his mouth and a student smiled past him. " I think your Chloe is going to be Xavier's soon." He made jest of him. Ramon pushed through the crowd and saw Chloe smiling before Xavier. " Yes, I will be your girlfriend." She said with a smile and Xavier kissed her. "Chloe? How could you? Have you been lying to me all this while? What we shared. Was that all a lie?"

Does making Ramon your friend helps you get over your doings? We both know playing the knight in shining armor isn't your thing." Stiles looked at Mark "Did you just say that to me?" Mark looked angrily at Stiles. "I can show you who I am if that would make you shut your trap," Mark said angrily walking Stiles to the back. Stiles was backing the wall with a fast heartbeat when they heard a phone ring. The air was tense as the phone ringing tone was the only sound that could be heard. "That is yours, pick it up. " Mark looked at Stiles who was a beat sweaty "No, I think it is for you. " He replied looking at Mark. Mark relaxed his gaze and picked up his phone. " Yes, you are talking to him." He replied pressing the phone to his ears. "I have to go." he looked at Stiles who was relieved to hear he

    "Well, you are welcome to stay with me if you want," Mark replied and Ramon looked at him. A part of him wanted to say yes but then he hated being indebted to anyone. "I will manage on my own. You have tried and helped me enough."

He looked at his phone and couldn't believe what he was seeing. He was seeing an alert of $32,000,000 in his bank account. Ramon's heart beat faster, he had never seen such amount of money in his entire life. "This has to be some kind of joke?

He could date Violet to replace Chloe. "I know this might sound stupid, but I can see you are being treated unfairly by your friends. Do you want to take revenge against them?" Ramon asked looking at Violet. "Revenge? What are you talking about in this your present condition? You will date me, Violet Meyers?" Violet looked at Ramon and wasn't sure what he was asking of her. "Do you want to be the laughing stock of the university? Because I don't really understand." She cleaned her face getting up to her feet.

    "Violet, you mean?" Ramon asked looking at his face. "Yes, it looked like I'm interrupted something earlier when I walked in." "Nothing really, I was just thanking her about how she had saved me. She even makes me coffee. I guess you are not the only nice human on the campus." Ramon looked at Mark from the wheelchair. "I guess not," he replied with a smile. "Who made the rules for this."Ramon's curiosity was getting the best of him. " What rules?" he asked staring at Ramon. "King, chief, and citizens. Violet was bothered about it." Ramon asked "Do you plan on saving her because clearly, you can't save anyone not even yourself? I would advise you to face your life and forget about her." Mark advised. "Can you at least tell me who made the rules?" "Well, it has been like that since the University was founded. It is not a place for the citizens mostly but then the chiefs were complaining about being preyed on by the king and the school authorities decided to have the

Some people whispered in admiration, others in confusion, and a few in resentment.

Chloe noticed his unease and sidled up beside him, her a
