Part One: The Arrival of Kelvin
Kelvin Adams was the kind of boy every eye turned to - not just for his looks, but for the life that followed him. Born into a powerful and wealthy family, his life glittered like the cars parked in his father's driveway. His father, a respected lawyer, was known in the media for handling high-profile cases. His mother, a glamorous fashion model, always stood out at events with her elegance and charm. His older brother had already made the family proud by becoming a doctor. And then there was Kelvin - the youngest, the boldest, and definitely the most troublesome.
Kelvin was strikingly handsome, with smooth dark skin, piercing eyes, and a smirk that could charm or annoy, depending on who you asked. But behind the looks, he had little interest in academics. He was dull in books, sharp in sarcasm, and had a mouth that rarely stopped talking. Girls adored him, and boys either admired or envied him.
It was the first day of school at Royal Pillar High, and a buzz had already started about the "new rich boy." The school gates had barely opened when Kelvin's black SUV pulled in. The sleek ride alone made heads turn. As he stepped out - polished shoes, gold chain, and a phone that probably cost more than some students' tuition - conversations paused.
"Who's that?" whispered a girl in the senior class.
"He must be new? Wow," her friend breathed, already snapping pictures from behind her locker.
Kelvin barely noticed. He strutted through the hallway with a quiet arrogance, his backpack hanging from one shoulder, as if the whole school belonged to him. By lunch break, his name had spread like wildfire. Some admired his swag, others hated his confidence, but either way, Kelvin had arrived.
Teachers noticed too. He was late to almost every class, leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, and answered questions with a bored, "Pass." Yet somehow, even that added to his appeal. One teacher called him "unserious," but the other students called him "King K" - a name that stuck by the end of the week.
Girls left love notes on his locker. His Instagram followers doubled overnight. He posted flexing pictures with expensive sneakers, captioned with cocky quotes. Kelvin loved the attention. He fed on it, ruled with it.
Within weeks, he wasn't just the school's most talked-about boy - he was its ruler. The King of Royal Pillar High. And like all kings, he had no idea that a storm was quietly brewing in the shadows.
Because somewhere far from his world of flashing lights and praise, a girl named Clara was about to step into his life - and tear apart everything he thought he knew.
Watch out for part two.
