Chapter 9 - 9

Reiner's p.o.v

I woke up at 5:00 am in ing for the morning preps, I got up and did my morning routine, and got ready for class. I looked at the bed next to me to see Brandon sleeping peacefully. He looks so cute in his sleep that it hurts to have to wake him up so early.

"Hey wake up," I nudge him from the side until he opens his eyes. "Get up sleeping beauty or we are going to be late."

"Late, late for what ?" he asked while wiping away the remaining sleep from his eyes.

"Just get up and get ready. I will tell after.".

I watch him get up from the bed and give me a questioning look but I ignored him and pushed him towards the bathroom. I arrange my books in the order of subjects that I will do today. We will start with English so I put my English at the top. I do the same for the prince who takes forever to freshen up. He is no different than a girl in many ways like who takes so long to shower at five in the morning that too with cold water. I don't mind bathing with cold water but I also wouldn't bathe for so long in it. One can catch a cold from that and getting sick on the first week of school isn't good.

"Now will you tell me why you woke me up so early in the morning? Everyone else is still sleeping so why are already dressed for the day," he asked after returning from the bathroom completely dressed. I ignore his question and give him his bag and take mine from the bed and grab his hand and walk out of the dorm. We arrive at the classroom and settle down on our desk, he sits down next to me glaring at me. "Are you ever going to tell me why you disturbed my precious sleep or did you just need someone to sit in this empty room with you as you studied? If that was the case you should find someone else to bully so early in the morning. I for one love my sleep very much and do not appreciate being treated like this." he spoke folding his hands in front of his chest to appear threatening but failed.

He looked like a cute puppy throwing a tantrum when it is denied milk. I take out my book and pen and start working on this week's English assignment. I noticed that he just sat there looking at me so I took his book from his book opened the first page and placed it in front of him before going back to work. He gave up glaring at me and started reading his book as well and just then the door to the classroom opened. A girl with short blonde hair tied up in a ponytail walked in. She was wearing her uniform neatly and everything about my first impression of her screamed control freak.

She walked towards us and stood right in front of Brandon. "I didn't think that I was going to find anyone already here. Hi, my name is Ellie and I am your classmate and hopefully friend," she said with the biggest smile a person can have, I can't believe someone is that excited about school.

"Hi too, I am Brandon and this is Reiner," he said pointing at me and I waved at her. "And no, I didn't want to be here he forced me to come here and he won't even tell me why," he complained to her making me smile.

"Oh! anyway, it is nice to meet both of you. Since the class is arranged three people per desk due to the many students our class has done you guys mind if I sit with you." she asked so sweetly which makes me wonder how much sweets she consumes a day for her to turn out like this. You can tell that her sweetness is real and not like all those fake girls who fake themselves so much that they lose track of what is real or fake. They try so hard to fit in but this Ellie looks and sounds legit, I think that we are going to get along just fine.

She sits next to Brandon and gets busy with her books. She is doing mathematics and from the looks of it, it looks like she is tackling next week's homework. I would know since I already did it before school opened I have already completed all mathematics assignments for this whole term. It is all that I did in my free time during the holiday. All that is left is for the teacher to check it.

I continue with my work and kept myself in my books until the door opened and a woman in her early thirties walked in came to us. "Wow, three people that is a new record for the first-day prep attendance. It looks like we have three goldens for this classroom. My name is Mrs. Mollins and I am the vice headmistress of the school and as the tradition of the school, we normally give the students who are self-driven like yourselves on the first day of school a golden pass. You see we don't have morning classes today because it is the first day but that does not mean that students should sleep in. So we award those who come for preps today with the golden pass." she paused to let us weigh and process her words.

"Now let me tell you the benefits of the Golden pass which is valid this whole term. You can get out of doing chores and homework by giving it to your house prefect. You can also get access to every room on campus except for the authorized ones. You also get to be perfect this year without having to be voted. It acts as a free pass to leave a classroom in case of an emergency or if you just don't want to attend a lesson no one will ask you. It can also get you out of house games if you don't want to participate and since in the house president hasn't been selected each of you will have to be that for your respect houses and if two people come from the same house the one will be president while the other one becomes deputy. You also get five stars and so you only have to work for five more to become a student of the month and that applies for all the three months of the first term. A chance is given to winning more golden passes at weekly examinations for the top three students. The golden passes you have the more immunity you get because golden passes are like VIP passes around campus. Most importantly it allows you to buy everything at the school mall on 50% off offer so enjoy." she handed each of us a golden pass after writing down our details on them and left the room.

"Now do you understand why I disturbed your precious sleep my dear sleeping beauty ?" I asked him with a cocky smile.

"Wait you knew about this ?"

"Of course I did, why else would I bother to wake up a lazy bone like you."

"Did you also know ?" he asked directing the question at Ellie."I had no idea, I only came to catch up with assignments but I am glad I did. These passes are amazing. I went back to my book while Brandon and Ellie went on about the passes. I have attended this school since I was young so I know everything about the school. I am well aware of everything around this school for two reasons, I have studied here since forever, and two my dad happens to own this school.
