It's graduation day! Oh how long I have waited for this to finally happen. Robert thought to himself as he was sitting in his chair waiting for his name to be called.
Robert King, 22 years old, tall, handsome, top of his class, but no matter how everyone see him, all they see is that he is poor.
Robert grew up in poverty, raised by his mother, he had to work full time while going through high school and college to help with bills. No matter how tired he was, he made sure to always push himself to be top of his class so he can provide a better future for himself and his mother.
Now he is graduating from the University of St. Miguel, one of the best universities in the state. He thought to himself, where can I go now? What opportunities await him? Will people finally....
"ROBERT KING!"
"ROBERT KING!!"
"ROBERT!!!"
He finally snapped back to reality while being shaken by his classmate. "Robert, it's your turn to go! urged his classmate."
Looking around, Robert saw all the eyes and fingers pointing at him. He even heard some say, "what a loser!"
"How dare this peasant make us wait for him!"
"Get up loser!"
"We don't have all day to wait for you!"
Embarrassed, Robert got up and walked towards the stage. It didn't matter what anyone said at this moment, all that mattered is that he is graduating!
"Yay!!! We did it Robert! We finally graduated!" Tiffany screamed.
As Robert looked up, he saw her beautiful face, long blonde hair, diamond earrings flashing, he met her screams with a smile, slightly blushing.
"Yes we did! We are finally done!" Robert said back to Tiffany.
"Why are you talking to him Tiffany! Leave that peasant alone! He doesn't belong near us." Robert and Tiffany heard someone yell towards them.
Looking up they saw 3 people strutting over.
"Liam! Why do you have to say such mean things!" Tiffany retorted back
It was Liam Strong, he is from one of the wealthiest families in Houston.
