Jerelca's PoV
Our Math teacher just kept on discussing. If Valerie behaved like she already knew everything. She said a lot that was wrong.

"Do you have any idea of ​​how to solve square root without using any calculator?" Ma'am Main asked.

I didn't raise my hand because elite students are here. I will just be covered. They are all smart.
"Do you have no idea?" Maam asked us.
If that's the case, it's just because they're rich that they got into this school. Even the very simple square root without a calculator they don't know. I raised my hand so Valerie raised her hand.
"Miss Valerie?"
"Yes, I have an idea.We can use the GCF style or the greatest common factor style. "Valerie replied that I'm sure effective.
She's Rank A so she's smart. The difficulty. I can't match them. I need to get a rank so that the whole town can be more proud of me. I will show it to everyone. I don't want to do it but I have to.
....
Our class for the morning was over so I went for a walk first. I also didn't want to just stay in my dorm alone.
"Jerelca! Let's eat together." Class Pres shouted deafeningly as she ran towards me. "I have no appetite Class Pres. Another one, I'm saving my money." I cold answer to him. My budget is only one thousand per two weeks. It needs to fit. We still have a darting project so save money first. "My treat, Newbie nerd," said Class V-P.
I don't want to owe anyone because debt is the reason why I will lose my home. Something happened in our town and we needed a lot of money. All my peers failed us. I was the only one left.
"No thanks," I protested and refused.
"It's bad to refuse grace. I thought that's the belief of the che- I mean like you" insisted Class Pres.
My eyes are just in front of me while they are looking at me. They are forcing me to accept their offer. I know that they are just doing this to fool me afterward. The trick of the rich is very popular.
"I'm not interested" I replied. "Okay Fine, Class V-p, and I will go, see ya." Class pres said to his vice president. I noticed that there was a commotion on the bulletin board so I inserted myself in the crowd.
'This coming Friday, we are going to search for Aquamarine's Queen.75 th Edition. 'Beauty must be everything, as the clear water in the spring'
Honeylyn Brigary is reigning for 11 years. Defeat her with confidence, beauty, and brain '
Their quote is weird but rhyme. I want to fight her but I'm just ashamed. I don't have any tools to join.
'For registration, get and pass your form to a Ranked S student. Either: • Honeylyn Brigary-grade 11 • Karl Astral-grade 12 • Monica Tindle- grade 12 • Clark Jewels-grade 12 • Ashzarre Ahrimaya-grade 12 • Gray Ash'to'-grade 11' It turns out that there are only six rank s in this school. Maybe those two grades-11 are talented. Honeylyn Brigary is famous than expected. High Class as well. "Planning to join a lowly cultured nerd?" Valerie, who was next to me, asked calmly. She is still with her thick make-up and comrades.
"I'm not interested," I replied to her and left the crowd near the bulletin board.
"You know what, you can join but be ready for any consequences, lowly cultured brat." Said Karin, one of Valerie's comrades. The class pres told me their names so I already knew who they are. I'm still walking and these noisy people are following me. "You can be our dog. So maybe, you have the chance to defeat that arrogant Brigary" Valerie said laughing.
How do they feel that they are playing something that isn't the same as their level? Wait, what? Who are not at their level? Of course. I stopped walking and faced the annoying groups who didn't want to leave me. I took a deep breath because I am expecting this going to do well. "So, you decided that fast? Impressive lowly cultured nerd." Said another of Valerie's comrade, Aizyl.
"Why are you fighting me, among all the students? Why not Honeylyn Brigary or Class Pres or any rank S students?" I asked them with a raised eyebrow.
Valerie frowned, definitely confused by my question or maybe she felt guilt. I feel scared so I just have to be brave. Even though the people in front of me are rich, they all have humility.
"What do you exactly mean? We are going to help you but with the condition. Be a pet and we're going to be your friend" she replied.
"You are weak, Valerie. Even though you are rich. I'm a lowly cultured nerd, I'm not on the same level as yours' and just forced to go to this school and you're treating me like this?. Once you're weak you will destroy the weaker" I said and continued to walk.
They didn't follow me anymore. Thank you and I breathed polluted air in this school. I would rather be alone than talk to these lack of knowledge creatures.
"You're good Jerelca. I don't think you can stop Valerie." the arrogant man flattered.
I ignored him and just kept walking. I didn't know where I was going. I don't have a favorite place here. I think I'd be more comfortable if I just locked myself in my rented room, that's why I don't like the atmosphere here. They're using aircon so there's no fresh air for me. "Snobbery? That's how people like you are. Feeling rich." He said irritably because he ignored her. Wow, ha! I want to punch this guy in no time. Just a little.
There's more to come later so I might not be able to concentrate. It's weird. There's a lot of pressure in the atmosphere here. I need space so I prefer to become an astronaut.
"Hey! It's not like your town is mad at me, you're mad at me too." He said and held my arm. What's this man's trip? It's not funny. He's annoying. "What ?!" I asked irritably. "Do you hate me? My family? You know everything my parents do things for people you. You will only lose your house and land, you will make money." He said.
This guy really--Because they don't understand what we are fighting for. If antiques have value for them, what about our town that has been passed down by each of our generations. "We don't need any of your money! That place is important to me. I was born there and I will die there so I will never allow you to get it, even if I die," I annoyed him.
I removed his hand from my arm and walked out. Rich people are arrogant. They are all even that Honeylyn Brigary because she is one of them. It is a big mistake to idolize rich people. They are famous because of their money. They do not experience hunger so everything is easy for them. It doesn't matter.
