Sabotaging My Walkout Queen

David’s P.O.V.

Finally, it’s the last school year!

We just had to spend one more year here at St. Augustine’s Academy and we would step into college. But before college could happen, I had to get the highest title first—I had to be the class valedictorian.

My class adviser said that it would never be hard for me to get the top rank since based on my grades from the first year to the third year, I was still the number one candidate for the valedictorian award.

It was just so fulfilling because if that happened, I would have a full-scholarship grant in college and my elder sister, Diane, would no longer dance in the club just to pay for my tuition fees. Our father passed away when I was only seven and our mother became sick since then, resulting in my sister to become the breadwinner of the family.

I dismissed my thoughts when I got to the classroom. I immediately sat right beside my girlfriend, Vanessa, and playfully tickled her waist. She was beautiful and sexy, and she was one of my inspirations aside from my family. I always went to school early because of her.

Who would have ever thought that the famous cheerleader of St. Augustine’s Academy will become my girlfriend? Of course, I’m handsome! We are indeed a perfect match!

I wonder why she didn’t mind me in the first place and just continued reading her book. When I looked at the cover, my eyebrows immediately creased into a furrow.

What the heck? Sixty Shades of Grey!

“Hey, Dave! What are you doing? Can’t you see that I’m busy reading it? Mind your own business, please!” She seemed to be surprised when I suddenly confiscated her book.

“Seriously, Vanessa? Why do you have to read this kind of stuff? You know that this is forbidden here so you are clearly violating our school rules. How about your assignments? Are you already done with it?” I threw her a series of questions.

“Give it back to me!” she yelled at me. Instead of responding to my questions, she only forced herself to reach the book which I kept on raising using my right hand. “Geez, it’s so hard to have such a smart-ass boyfriend.” I even heard her murmured, still not surrendering.

I then towered over her. She was taller compared to other sixteen-year-old teenagers at five feet and five inches, but she couldn’t get the book from me because I was still taller than her. At sixteen, I already stood tall at five feet and eight inches.

We were soon interrupted when Mrs. Cheng went inside the classroom. I immediately placed the book inside my backpack while Vanessa was still freaking mad at me. If stares could kill, I would have died already.

“Okay, class. Good morning!” Our class adviser greeted us.

We humbly replied, “Good morning, ma’am!”

“So this is the second day of your class and of course, your final year in high school. At this stage, I would like to congratulate all of you for making this far, most especially, those who are running for honors.” She was all-out smiling.

I proudly smiled. We were forty students in section one. Almost half of the class was currently running for honors, but of course, I was the only one who ran for the valedictorian title.

Well, who else?

“Can you please stop yourself from grinning? I find it annoying, duh!” Vanessa rolled her eyes while looking at me.

I only gave her a teasing smile with a matching wink. She was indeed pretty, and I loved teasing her that way. We had been together for one year.

“But in the meantime, I would like to introduce to you your new classmate…” Mrs. Cheng glanced at the open door and motioned someone out there to enter the room. I didn’t know why but I suddenly became nervous.
