Falling For The Poor Girl

Bryan's POV

Another roll of tears went down my cheeks again and I felt my heart pained so badly...

It was terrible and shocking.

I had never believed it would turn this way,

How would she do that to me?

How would she leave me shattered after knowing how much I love her, how much I cherished her.

I am feeling so drained and had been in tears for hours right here in my private room which I had made for myself and her alone,

This is a place we both come and spend time together singing

Today, I am here alone because she had dumped me for another guy.

Right now, I am hating ladies and everything about them, this building is near the school and is restricted for anyone else to get in,

Since she left me, this is where I cry anytime I see her making out a great time with Austin her new boyfriend, Do you know how it feels to be jilted by someone you loved so much only for her to start up another relationship with a guy who is your rival in music?

You can't know how it pains because you may not have experienced it.

It is so much painful than anything you can think of...

Sophia had been my one and only girl since childhood and our life together had always been great and perfect,

She is a great singer like me and we are both making waves.. we had always been the talk of the town and a centre of attraction, ladies wishes and pray to be like her, men who were her dying crush wish they were me.

We were like a god to many due to our great voice and stunning beauty.

but..that night shattered everything.

It was a night I would never forget,

Just like every other day, I had decided to give Sophia a surprise visit.

Remembering that night makes my heart bleed every second.

I had got to her house and was welcomed with the sound of moan and groan.

I crept into her room and Sophia was having a hot round with Austin.

I was furious and screamed her name, I was ready to show my anger by shouting while she begs for forgiveness not knowing I was in for the worst.

I loved Sophia and was ready to forgive her again if she would plead for forgiveness but the unexpected happened.

She yelled at me and sent me out of her house, the next day, she sent me a breakup letter.

How can I bear this?

She is my first love and to be sincere, I can't love any other lady if not her,

She is my match and I still love her so much.

I sniffed and walked over to my piano.

With a sorrowful heart, I started a song, a song of heartbreak, an emotional song that made me broke down In tears.

I don't want to believe she is gone for real, I need to go and beg her again.

Who knows she may accept me back, she may accept me. I need her in my life, I don't mind pleading till dawn.

Singing with her on the stage is always the best thing that always happens to me,

Our voice is the real match for any song, we had always topped every other singer, how would I cope right now when she is gone,

I can't love any other lady, not even for a single minute of my life.

I stood up and more tears rolled down,

I am the emotional type so I feel too hurt to even talk...I am going to beg her for forgiveness...I am going to plead for her to accept me back.

I had done this some days ago and had received painful words from her, she had called me many awful names which shattered my heart.

I had told myself that I am not gonna beg again but right now I can't hold on anymore,

I need to go out there and plead again, she is the most important person in my life, I need her like I needed my breath.

I got out of the room after drying my eyes.

I pray she accepts me back because I may break down if she snubs me again.

My name is Bryan,

The name that is always on the lips of everyone especially ladies both in school and in the town.

Yes.

I got millions of fans around the world, people who couldn't do without my songs,

I had already risen to fame at the age of 17, right now I am a billionaire on my own, also my parent is stinking rich

Many people see me as a demi-god or some kind of Greek god reincarnated because I was very handsome.

Ladies drool and faint in emotion whenever I pass by, they all wish and dream of me, everyone wants to stare at my face,

I had been a calm and nice person some years ago but at this moment after Sophia had hurt me, I am very cold and wouldn't hesitate to frustrate the life of any lady who crossed my path and got to my nerves.

I hate ladies now because they are heart breaker, want to frustrate their life so badly.

I detest their sight and wouldn't have anything to do with them, I wish I can also hate Sophia this way.

Walking to my car, I felt a rush of anxiety in me,

What would Sophia do when I come back begging knowing I had seethed at her to go to hell the last time she ignored my plea.

I wish I can stay back and let her be but it is very hard, impossible!!

I need her beside me,

I hate Austin so much for taking her away from me, why??😭

I drove back to school feeling restless.

Finally, I reached, parked my car and walked out.

Omg!!!!

"Look at him!!"

"The Greek god!"

"So cute!"

"I love you!!"

"Please look at me!!"

"Is that his real eyes??"

"Geez!!"

My face was grim as I head to the class ignoring those swoons and drools of the student, I could see their eyes wet as they daydream of having me.

Yuck!!

I got to the class and an uproar occurred, the students especially the ladies kept murmuring with their gaze fixed on me.

Just as my gaze fell on Sophia and Austin, I felt my heart grow heavy.

My legs became weak and I was close to tears.

They were holding each other passionately.

"Sophia, can we talk?" I spoke out dryly trying hard to hide my emotion.

"Me and you??.. I don't understand?" She gawped and I sighed.

Austin was also staring at me.

"Let's talk somewhere!!.." I blurted and grabbed her hand leading her to the school garden where there were no or few people.

"Why are you doing this for real??" My voice cracked in emotion.

"Do what?" She asked with a sneer.

"What is my crime?..please tell me and I'll kneel and ask for forgiveness.." I spoke out with wet eyes

"Bryan, so you came begging again??" She laughed sarcastically

I couldn't talk, my lips were just shaking...

I felt my heart growing in pain and regret.

I regret every single moment I had with her, I never knew once in my life that she would treat me this way,

I was gradually becoming lonely and bitter hearted, looking at the woman around makes me remember her, right now I hate every lady, I don't know if I also hate her because I still silently pray for her to return to me.

My whole system was changing to something I can't explain.

I looked around and saw some students gazing at me and I felt anger, their peers alone is making me feel like killing them.

For real, I am hating everyone.

I was turning into something else, every lady I set eyes on becomes my enemy instantly, it would just be like she is the cause of what Sophia did.

I contort my face into a deep frown before heading back to the class.

💞Jace's POV💞

"Hey, Bryan what's up?" I inquired as I saw his expression.

"Get lost dude!!" He blurted and my eyes widened in shock.

I was so much startled at what he just said. I didn't even want to believe he was talking to me.

We are good pals right from kids, we sing together and you can call me his brother because we do everything together sharing secrets and gist...

"What did you say to me?" I questioned but he gave no reply and went to his seat with grim, he wasn't smiling a bit.

The stern face even went deeper when he saw Sophia with Austin.

Oh god!!

That must be the reason for his being morose.

I thought he had moved on. I thought he had agreed to forget about Sophia not knowing that he still long for her, he had taken her out not long ago. I wonder what she said to him...

"Bryan, what is wrong with you?..can you just stop this attitude???" I rasped and he didn't even glance at me.

His gaze was straight and there is no doubt he was passing through a lot as I could see his eyes dim in pain.

I wish I could help him but I can't, Sophia had taken her choice, I even wonder why he can't move on with another lady, there are very beautiful and rich girls around..it seems he got attached to Sophia forever.

"The more you think of her, the more you feel the pain more severely, can't you just develop feelings for another lady?...many are drool and longing to have you.." I said to myself because he had already fixed an earpiece in his ear.

I was infuriated so I plunged it off making him raised his brow at me.

"You got to listen to me when I speak and not deafen your ear with that!!" I snorted and he squeezed his face.

"Do you still think we are friends?" He asked and I arched my brow.

"I don't understand??"

"You couldn't help me get her, no one could..no one of you all was able to bring her back so I hate you all, don't dare talk to me or act like we are friends. I have no friend!!" He spoke out in the coldest voice I have ever heard.

I stared at him in shock and opened my mouth to talk but he left the class just then leaving everyone in shock...

I had never experienced the type of Bryan.

I was overwhelmed.

Slowly, I went back to my seat and waited for the lesson to begin, I wonder where he even went to, guess he isn't ready for school anymore.

Three lessons went on and came to an end before the school bell rang for break time.

I rushed out of the class in search of Bryan my friend, I can't understand him anymore.

Was he changing to a loner and introvert?

I searched around the school environment and couldn't find him..gosh!!

He may have gone home, I wonder what his father would do about this new Bryan.

I just pray he changed as soon as possible because he can't be this way and still wins the national singing competition, he can't be this way and sing with a female singer, he got no girlfriend anymore and isn't ready to have one, how then is he gonna find the lady to perform in the stage with.

I'm really scared...

🎻Rose's POV🎻

"Are you a human?...answer me now before I kiss you!" I said to my god,

Hey, don't mind me...I was talking to this most cutest man in the history of mankind.

His name is Bryan and I finds it hard to accept him as a human, he is an angel..how can a human be this perfect, so hot!..sexy..!..charming..!

Gosh!!!

I love him so much, he is my life and breath.

Talking about his song, it is the only one I regard as a song others are noise in my ear...

I would sing along with him anytime I listen to his music, people tell me I had a great voice but what is the gain?.. I'm I going to be a singer one day??

Right now, my phone battery is already dead because I had been playing his music repeatedly.

Well, my name is Rose, a young lady who aspires to marry Bryan.

Biggest dream right??😅😅

I know it can't happen but in my dream, it happens continuously and I'm enjoying it.

I'm a poor girl with her mother living in the slum..we got no business with the rich..what can we offer when we can't smell a car or even wear bright cloth...

Hey, everyone living in this area is poor!!!

I am in a different world with him but I feel like we would one day meet, I don't know if it was my usual wishes but seriously. Bryan is my dream man.

Wow!!!

Just then, my door opened and I don't need a soothsayer to know it was Clara my best friend, she is the only one that doesn't knock before entering...

"Have you gotten his latest music?.." I asked immediately as she slumped on my small bed.

"Look at this!" she squealed showing me something from her phone.

My eyes widened as I saw the news...

📄Scholarship to enter Diamond Musical High School has begun📄

"Isn't this the same school where Bryan is??" I asked with my eyes glistening with emotions.

You can't tell how my heart is beating now.

"Yeah!!..are you applying?" She asked and I felt like slapping her.

"You are not well for asking that question.." I scoffed and turned to Bryan's picture on the wall.

"I'm coming, honey.." I smiled and blew a kiss.

"I'm not applying, it is risky!" She said and I sneered at her.

"You would be treated badly by the students..they see scholarship students as the misfortuned, be ready to bear their bullies.." She said and I smiled.

"Do you know how sweet it would be to be slapped by Bryan?..that tender and soft palm, If it touches my lips, I'll blush for a week!" I grinned and stared at the news again.

"I feel like bursting right now!!..omg!!!.." I exclaimed and grabbed one of Bryan's pictures.

"When I told you I am coming, it wasn't a lie..now wait and see.." I laughed as the picture smiled at me...

My eyes became wet again as I went into emotions staring deeply into his eyes.

It looked real and I could already see myself sitting beside him in class.

Wow!!!

"So you are going to that school that is a real hell to the poor..this scholarship to get enrolled in that school was stopped long ago..do you know why?" She questioned with her arm akimbo staring at me.

I wasn't even looking at her, my gaze is on my dream man.

"Tell me why but don't think it would stop me from being the first person to register.." I stated dryly.

"You are crushing on him, he may be so hot and handsome but I heard he was one of the students who started up the bullying of the scholarship student.." She kept explaining while I smile.

"I can never feel any pain if he beats me.. look at those blue eyes..oh, I can't wait to see him..it would be a great sight.." I exclaimed crossing my arm over my chest.

"The only thing that is good in you is your amazing voice, I think Bryan and his crew would need it in his band.." She said and I smiled

"Just watch and see how I get his heart, he must love me at all cost.." I squeaked and just then the door of my room sprang open and my mother walked in with her face sad.

"What???...mom!!" I screamed and rushed to her.

She was very weak and her eyes were dimmed.

"Mom, what is it?..are you okay?" I asked as I held her arm helping her to the bed.

It was clear there was something wrong.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Clara purred as we both sat beside her on the bed.

She was very weak and was breathing abnormally...

"Do you know what kidney problem is?" My mom asked with a deep breath.

My eyes widened as I stared at her...

"One of my kidneys is damaged, I have only one right now and I can't work anymore, I will be weakened for the moment.." She sighed and my eyes were covered with tears.

"But mom, where is dad??" I asked with a heavy heart.

"I already told you, he left us for another woman, I don't know what would be our fate now, you are our source of living now, my life depends on you..." She cried and I also cried hugging her to my body.

I could see the pain in her eyes as she said those words, this Is the woman that had always wanted the very best for me, she had never wanted me to suffer a bit, that was why she had always done all the job alone...

"I promise to make you happy mom.." I sobbed.

"I overworked myself and got my kidney damaged, the doctor had instructed that I never do anything stressful, I'm so sorry daughter. I'm so sorry you would have to work for us" she sniffed.

"It is nothing, I'm ready to do anything for you.." I said and she forced out a smile.

I turned to Clara and she was also sobbing.

"Mom, I would start work from tomorrow, you can never go hungry for a single minute, trust me.." I purred and she smiled again making me hug her again.

I love my mother like my life, when my dad abandoned me, she stayed and brought me up singlehandedly, why won't I do anything for her.

"It wouldn't be easy to make money for us...I'm sorry..you.."

"Mom stop!!..do you think I'm a log of wood, I can do any work..cleaner, house help, chef, car washer..any of them...I can do it!!" I exclaimed and smiled at Clara who returned it and held my mom's palm.

"You don't know Clara well, she is a robot when it comes to work, especially when she has the picture of Bryan round her chest as a necklace.." She said and my mom laughed.

"Can't you see how she decorate our room with his picture, I wish she meets him one day so I'll rest.." Mara my mom said with a grin leaving me giggling.

"Mom I'll be meeting him in no distant time!!!" I squealed and she arched her brow at me.

"How??..are you ready to die?..how will you meet so a celebrity.." She questioned.

"I'll be in the same class with him, there is a free scholarship in the school he is..I'll register and like a dream come true, I will be a student and get to meet my long time crush.." I purred with my eyes glistening as I thought of what it would be like.

Wow!!..

'You are not starting any school..you can't go to school and also work, it would be too much " she said and I jolted up from the bed sneering at my mom.

"I rather do both than leaving this greatest opportunity..this is my only chance to see my dream crush, this is the only chance to talk to him, chance to touch him.."

I winked at the largest picture hung on the wall.

"So you also have his necklace around your neck??" My mother asked and chuckled.

"It shows he is my soulmate!" I laughed

"She would be bu.."

"Shut up!!!.." I screamed stopping Clara from saying that nonsense she had in mind.

I glared at her and turned to my mom.

"The registration is next week, I'll start work tomorrow and start school next week. I feel bad you got that kidney problem because of me, sorry for being a burden.." I breathed

"I'm happy I did all that for you, I know you would make me happy.." She smiled

"Why not!!..

"So it's evening, let me go get something for us to eat..." I said and dragged Clara's hand as we head out of the room.

"Are you mad!!..how dare you want to tell my Mon about any studies bully you are talking about!?" I scowled as we got to the kitchen.

"You won't understand, one of my friends committed suicide when she couldn't bear the bully and trouble from those rich and spoilt brat there in that school, it was part of the reason why scholarship into that school was suspended..." She explained but I wasn't moved a bit.

I am more than ready for all that...

Do you even know what it means to be sitting right beside Bryan...

Jeez!!..who even told me he would be sitting with me??

Arggh..he may have a girlfriend...

Gosh!!!!

His girlfriend would be very much rich and sophisticated than me, she may even have a great voice..eh..how would I be able to get his heart when he has his heart to her.

Eh..shit!!

"Rose!!!!!!" I heard my name and got back to reality.

"Where had you been?" She questioned staring at me in awe.

"Did I leave here??" I asked walking to the pack of plates to get some food for my mom, I had forgotten she was waiting.

"You was lost thinking about Bryan right?" She inquired and I shrugged.

"Wait, does he have a girlfriend?" I asked stupidly.

why won't he have a girlfriend, someone that is more than cute?

"He has a girlfriend that is 100 times better than you!" She said and I laughed out tears.

I don't want to think about that...

I dished out my mom's food silently.

"I'll be going before my mother starts looking for me!" Clara announced and I nodded.

The fact that Bryan has a girlfriend had changed my mood, but how did I even think he is single...

Gosh!!!

I served the food to my mother, she ate it all and I took back the plate.

Coming back to the room, my eyes fell on Bryan's pictures on the wall, they were all giving me reassuring smiles...

That made all my anxiety disappear.

Bryan likes me.

I chatted about many things with my mother, we even played, finally, night came and we both slept off.

**************

Morning came faster than I wanted.

Shit!!!

It just shattered my blissful moment with Bryan, my dream is always so sweet that I pray for dawn to take a year before it comes.

I wanted to go back to sleep when my mind drifted to what my mother said to me yesterday, I would need to work for us to eat...

I got up from the bed and rushed out to get prepared...

"I'm off to look for work!!" I squealed as I made my way out of the small house...

**********

It was much easy and faster than I thought.

I got five words at a time...

Chef, restaurant attendant, pizza delivery staff, cleaner, nanny...

Omg!!!!!

It was tiring than I thought, I would do all one after the other,

Argh!!!

I am very tired and dizzy right now, I can't see clearly. My legs are even wobbling.

My phone rang and it was my manager in the pizza store...

What???..

I am tired!!!!!

"Rose..please I know you are done for today but, it is very urgent, come quickly, you will deliver some pizza to someone!" He said

"I am not coming!!!..call another person!!!" I yelled and was even about to off my phone when I heard what took me back.

"You are taking it to Diamond musical school..someone ordered for it!!!"

My heart skipped a beat...what if it is Bryan...

What????

So I would enter that school now...

Why would I not go??

I would be seeing my Bryan!!!

With speed, I ran back to the pizza store,

Today would be my best day,

I must hug Bryan when I see him...
