Heiress by Juliejane Fernandez (the speed reading book TXT) 📕

I looked back at the top to where the guy is sitting but I couldn’t find him anymore. I turned around and shrugged then started walking to our room.

Bruno – the big boss of my entire bodyguard – showed us our new classroom. The six of us have our own room away from other students since primary school. Our parents don’t want us to mingle to other students that aren’t on our level. I guess that’s why I never have any friends aside from my best friends. We all hate that fact but can’t do anything about it but to obey or else we have to face the consequences.

Few months ago, I told my parents I wanted to renovate our classroom. The area was big enough for six people but I don’t like the interior design in the room. The colour looks dull and it shouts prison inside.

My parents agreed and now the room is bigger. We have six separate study tables made out thick mahogany tree. Beside Beatrice table was a small bookshelf that when u press the green button underneath her table, the shelf goes down underneath the floor and matches it like nothing is there. I know how much she loved her books so I thought it’d be good to surprise her and it looks pretty cool too.

On the left side of the room are two vanities for Roxy and Andrei. They worried too much about their looks and always complained about getting wrinkles from all the stress their parents put them in.

Besides Ruthy’s table is white grand piano. Ruthy and I both love music. I know she wanted to become a music conductor after Uni but she don’t want to disappoint her grandfather so she decided to took business managing course like all of us instead.

I heaved a sigh at the thought. Each one of us have different dreams that we so badly want to take but because of our status and because our parents and families are counting on us, we have no choice but to follow what they demanded us to do just to please their asses even we have to sacrifice our own happiness.

Next to my table is Teo’s table. He too loves to read books but it’s not the same as Beatrice. He likes to read historical books, Greek mythology and other real life stories of people around the world. He was the only one who’s too focused and took studies seriously. He was the smartest of all of us.

I was caught of guard when Roxy and Ruthy hugged out of knowing. “Thea!” Roxy screamed on my ear and I backed away a little getting light headed from loud mouth.

“You did a great job, girlfriend.” Ruthy exclaimed happily jumping up and down beside me cradling my arm.

I laughed and flipped my long black hair playfully. “What can I say? I’m genius.”

They all laughed and gave me a hug. Teo gave me a kiss on my forehead and I closed my eyes letting out a breath in satisfaction.

“You two love birds gotta stop. You’re making me jealous.” Beatrice chirped in and Teo just laughed.

He walked towards Beatrice and gave her a kiss on the forehead as well and I smiled at them. I know Teo and I been friends since we were kids. I mean, all of us are friends since kids but the way Teo looked at me and treat me is different than to other girls – Roxy, Beatrice and Ruthy. I want to think that he had some kind of feelings towards me but I can’t. I don’t want to think of it because I know I’m not the person for him and I know someone out there can give back the love he deserves.

The professor finally arrived in our room and we went to seat on our individual table and started the class.

The class was so boring not even five minutes, my eyes started to feel heavy. Someone barged in to our room and open the door waking all of us on our seats and getting our attention.

“I am so sorry I am late sir. I went to the bathroom and I did not realised the time. I promise it won’t happen again. I am sorry.” He talks in one breath fidgeting on his hands.

I recognise the person to the guy who sat on back hall talking to him self.

The professor cleared his throat, he looked up at us with his light brown eyes widen in shock and he started fidgeting on his hand like a girl. I snorted out a little and his gaze turns towards me and I turn my gaze away. I cleared my throat and then put back my serious look.

Andrei settled his feet on his table. “Someone got lost,” he smirked.

The girls started laughing and I could see Teo stood up from his chair from the corner of my eye and walks towards him. We all stared at him in surprise.

“Hi! I’m Teo Guillory.” Teo extended his hand for the other guy to shake. He then continued, “You must’ve been lost.”

He walked behind the door and pointed the HEIR sign written in bold letters. “This is a private room. Do you know what your room number?” he asked softly as if talking to a child.

“I am so sorry, I didn’t know that-” the guy got cut off by another guy who’s wearing the same glasses as his and grab his arm.

“There you are!” He then looked at us and his eyes widen. I raised my brow in confusion.

“What the fuck are you doing?” The short guy whispered-yelled to the lost guy. He then smiled at us and lowered his head.

“I am so sorry to my friend here. I’ll make sure this won’t happen again.” He said shakily.

“That’s okay.” Teo responded and smiled.

The other guy stood quietly and looked on his books he was carrying. He’s a tad bit taller than Teo. He looks like a very shy person. It’s strange for a guy to be acting that way. He’s probably gay, I thought to myself and chuckled.

Everyone looked at me like I lost my mind and I just shrugged and focus on the empty paper in front of me.

I heard the short guy apologised again and drag his friend out of the door.

“Come on Blaine.” He urged and they both vanished off sight.

So his name is Blaine. Interesting.
