The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

Jessica who thought she was the only one raising her hand wondered why the teacher was taking long to ask her to answer the question, until she saw Arusha’s hand up too.

“What!” She screamed inwardly..

Well… he might just want her to notice him.

She had been so thrilled to find out he was in her class, he’s got great looks that almost made her drool, she had intentionally knocked him over just to feel his broad back.

She has never seen a guy as good looking as him, she always thought Gray is the most good looking guy she has ever seen but Arusha proved her wrong.

She had gave him a middle finger cause she really wanted to fuck him.

She couldn’t believe she felt butterflies in her stomach when he looked into her eyes.

He’s attracted to her of course, every guy wants her.

She can have him if she wants cause she’s so sure no one can resist her beauty, guys always fall at her feet.

But she hadn’t caught him stealing glances at her like other guys do, he had concentrated on his laptop. Maybe he had steal glances when she wasn’t looking.

Paris and Jane had told her the girls were head over heels with him but couldn’t approach him cause he’s from a freaking poor home.

And she’s afraid that might be the only problem when he asks her out cause she doesn’t want to date someone from a poor home either.

The teacher sighed softly..

“I honestly don’t know who to choose” Miss Meg said.

“Ohh” Arusha said, seeing Jessica’s hand up too.

He slowly brought down his hand and Olivia wondered why he did that.

They can both answer the question.

“Okay… Jessica go ahead” Miss Meg said and Jessica stood up proudly and answered the question.

The whole class clapped and Arusha couldn’t help but feel kinda bad, they never clap for him whenever he answers a question.

He shouldn’t be bothered by it though, it’s obvious most of the students do not want to associate with him because his last name doesn’t ring a bell.

How petty.

He must admit he’s impressed with Jessica, she’s not only beautiful, she’s intelligent too.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Well… Jessica, you’re correct but you didn’t give me a detailed answer, I’d like Arusha to try too” Miss Meg said.

“What do you mean my answer wasn’t detailed?” Jessica asked the teacher.

“You only made reference to it, you didn’t go into details. That was not a satisfactory answer, though you tired. I’d like Arusha to make attempt too” Mrs Meg said and even the blind could see Jessica was fuming.

Arusha stood on his feet and answered the question, he gave the best explanation he could and with the smile on Miss Meg’s face, you could see she’s impressed.

“That’s it! Exactly the detail i want” Mrs Meg said and Arusha was about sitting when he heard someone clap.

The whole class turned and Arusha lifted up his head too.

It was Olivia.

He stared at her in surprise so as the other students.

They all knew Arusha did his best with the answer but the fact that he’s not in their calibre made it feel horrific to clap for him.

But Olivia had.

“I bet she’s as poor as he is” A student whispered to the other.

“Of course, poor people appreciate their kind” Another student responded and they laughed.

“Thank you” Arusha smiled, deeply touched.

Olivia nodded and faced her laptop.

She hadn’t clapped for Arusha out of pity, his answer was eloquent and impressive and she learnt one or two things from it, it made her understand the subject better.

Although his answers have always being impressive and she has never clapped for him, what prompted her was that she could see how his face was when Jessica was clapped for.

She hadn’t clapped for Jessica cause she could see her answer wasn’t detailed like Mrs Meg had said, she doesn’t even clap for anyone regardless of who they are, she’s not used to it. Arusha had been the first person she would clap for in Ivy Royals.

She feels the students are just being unfair to him because of his status and that’s what keeps drawing her to him.

Unlike other students, he always tries to talk to her even if she mostly ignore him.

He doesn’t mock her for hiding her last name nor ignore her and he has stood up for her once.

His looks are killer! And she must admit she felt her heart pump the moment she bumped into him.

He has the most beautiful set of eyes she has ever seen and she always steal glances at him when he’s not looking.

She freaking likes it when he talks to her and sometimes she was always too stunned and nervous to reply him.

She looks forward to seeing him every morning and whenever he walks into the class, she’ll cover her smile with a fake frown.

She has always liked her life without friends but now she wants to have a friend.

“Okay then, let’s continue the class” Miss Meg said.

LUNCH BREAK

_ _

Arusha sat back in class determined to find out why Olivia doesn’t go to the cafeteria.

She has never visited the cafeteria.

Students left the class one after the other until they were both alone.

Minutes passed in silence until Olivia stood up and walked to her locker.

She unlocked it and carried her meal from her backpack.

She had waited for Arusha to leave but seems he’s not leaving anytime soon cause he’s obviously busy with his laptop, she couldn’t wait anymore, she’s starving.

She returned to her seat with her meal and a bottle of water, she started eating.

Arusha who had pretended to be working on his laptop turned to her.

“Eating in the classroom is prohibited” He said and Olivia nodded.

“Why don’t you ever go the cafeteria?” He asked, thinking she was fearless, any teacher could come in and have her punished for it but again she ignored him.

“Anyone could come in and… have you punished” Arusha proceeded.

“The school proprietor wouldn’t say a word if he sees me right now” Olivia said, twisting the cap of the water.

“Really?” Arusha asked, wondering what that could mean… ohh.

“You have a phobia for eating in the same room with a lot of people?” Arusha asked thoughtfully. “Yes” Olivia lied.

She is the president’s daughter and also Royal and her family tradition forbids her to eat with so many people.

“Ohh.. now i know”Arusha said..

“And thanks for clapping earlier, it made me feel so happy”Arusha smiled.

“Is that why you didn’t go to the cafeteria?” Olivia asked.

“Not really, i wanted to find out why you don’t always visit the cafeteria too” Arusha said. “Ohh”Olivia almost smiled, but she quickly stopped herself.

“By the way… why did you dropped your hand earlier? You could have waited for the teacher to choose who to answer the question” Olivia said.

“Well… i felt i should give someone else the chance to answer the question”Arusha said. “She could have done the same too, i heard she’s very intelligent and answers questions in class all the time, she could have given you the chance too”

“So, you do listen to gossip” Arusha teased.

“No, i overheard one of the students say it”

“I did the best thing by dropping my hand… as a gentleman” Arusha said, proud of himself.

“I’m glad you don’t ignore me anymore”Arusha said.

“I did.. recently” Olivia said.

“It’s not as much as you do before… though i understand you’re a reserved person and youreally appreciate being on your own” Arusha said and for once Olivia looked at his eyes directly. “Thank you” She said, touched.

So many people leave her and even hurl abusive words at her after she has ignored them for some time but Arusha never left her, he understands her and never stopped talking to her. She can’t continue ignoring him, it’s not fair .

“I’m glad you understand me and I’m sorry for the times I’ve ignored you” Olivia said and Arusha thought he was dreaming.
