The Billionaire's Daughter novel Chapter 3

It turned out, Franco was my new block mate for the entire year. Not to mention our seats were arranged alphabetically.

As the teacher arranged our seats.

“Briones, Franco. Castello, Saphira.”

“Hi Seat mate! Good thing we’re already friends now.”

“Ahhh. . . I guess so?”

“Oh come on Saphira, being friends with a poor chap like me will not give you a virus. . . .”

He must have seen the change in my expression when he said those words basing on the sudden panic on his face and his change of demeanor.

“Oh shit! Sorry, I did not mean it like that.”

“Its okay. I’m used to it.”

I should have been used to it by now but I still took my things and went out of the room towards the girl’s washroom before the tears poured down my face.

Being me everywhere else had its perks but being me at school is very painful. I was bullied a lot because they see me as a snob and a geek. Another reason for not having friends.

“Hey Castello! What’s the matter? Senator Mommy can’t save you from your tears?”

“Come on girls, I don’t want to be in the same room as that drama queen!”

“If I know, she’s crying because her big time daddy cannot give her the new car model she wants. Or she was not allowed to have another plastic surgery to fix her nose!”

“Rumor has it that she’s not even a real Castello. She doesn’t even fit the pretty name or the pretty face of her parents.”

“Hey Castello, why the crying face? Did your imaginary boyfriend break up with you?”

“Let’s go girls, we’re going to be late for PE class which some snob here is allergic to. She doesn’t even want to perspire or to even get tired. What a shame! She’s missing all the fun.”
