Friends
The halls of Camelot high looked so much scarier than they do on the outside, full of people wishing to impress their rich parents or just show off, this was the last place anyone would think a small village boy would be going to high school.
Merlin Emrys sighed as he walked thought the double doors of Camelot high.
He knew that making friends would be next to impossible, seeing as he didn't have daddies money to spend or come from a family that had old money or any money for that fact, Now don't get me wrong they weren't poor, but they only had enough to get by, Hunith, Merlin's mother saw his scholarship as a god send. She always worried about her son, he was too smart for the small school in Ealdor and she wanted the best for him, even if that meant sending him away to live with her brother, Gaius, during the school term.
Merlin wanted to be just like his uncle, a Doctor and Camelot high would give her son the best change to get into a good college and become what he would try so hard to be.
Merlin had to watch his mother work herself to the bone and when he was old enough he got a small job at a local diner every week he would give him mother all of his pay check, of course Hunith made sure that her baby had some of his hard earn cash in case he saw anything he like while out with his friend.
Now having to move to Camelot, so that he can attend Camelot High meant that he had to give up his job, but once Merlin had settled into his small little room, he had sure to go out and find a similar job close to his new home and not too far from his school.
Even those he was looking forward to his first day, he was also fearing it, after all he knew he had no place in a school like Camelot and as Merlin walked towards the officer, he could feel the eyes of every student in Camelot high thinking the same thing.
Arthur Pendragon was from old money and one of the richest students in Camelot high.
Arthur was the prince of Camelot as his friends would call him, and Arthur loved it made him feel empowered somehow.
Arthur's parents, Uther and Ygraine, wanted the best for their son, not the same as the other. Uther Pendragon wanted his son to take over the family business, find a wife and have an heir where Ygraine wanted her son to be happy, she knew that Arthur wanted to help people and become a doctor; she also wanted him to find a nice young man that would love him for him. Unlike Uther who did not know that his son was gay, Ygraine had found out when she accidentally walked in on him while he was watching porn and masturbating.
Arthur had panicked and when he saw his mother next morning Arthur wanted to explain but his mother just handed him a pack of condos and a lock for his door, saying that she loved him but never wanted to see that again.
Arthur worked hard at school but he also messed around with his friends, Arthur had never once done a day's work in his life.
But Arthur was blind as to why so many people in Camelot high loved him so much, what he didn't know was that his friends didn't like him but his money and that no one really like Arthur as a person.
Arthur had just turned the corner to go to English when he noticed a raven haired beautiful looking lost.
Arthur knew right away that he was a new kid, and judging by his cloths he was a scholarship kid, but for some reason that didn't really seem to matter when he looked at the beautiful before him.
"You lost" Arthur said
People had started to stop so they could watch the scholarship kid get put in his place, but Arthur just wanted to know, wanted to protect him.
But when Merlin's blue eyes looked up and meet Arthur's, Merlin blushed at just how sexy he thought Arthur to be.
Arthur started to feel something deep in his stomach, something strange and it was all because of this blue eyes beautiful.
Looking into Arthur's eyes Merlin could see just how pure Arthur soul was, and even if it was a fool's hope, he hoped that this god was gay and single.
"Yes, I'm looking for English room B" Merlin replied smiling up at Arthur
God that smile Arthur thought as his Heart when into over drive
"Well you're in luck, I'm heading there myself" Arthur smiled
The students watching disliked Arthur for being so nice to the thrash and soon word spread around the whole school.
When Merlin and Arthur walked into English together, everyone had already taken their seats and Arthur found that his normal seating parent, Vivian had moved from the back role to seat next to Sophia, leaving Merlin the seat next to Arthur.
Arthur knew what they were doing and he kinda wished that he didn't have to do what he needed too so that he could keep his friends.
But as they sat down Merlin turned to Arthur and smiled
"Hi, thank you, I'm Merlin" Merlin held out his hand waiting for Arthur to take it
Arthur looked down at Merlin's hand and then back up to Merlin.
It was now of never Arthur thought
"I didn't ask" Arthur sneered hating the look of hurt that crossed Merlin's face
"Sorry" Merlin replied
Arthur watched Merlin though the corner of his eyes all though the lesson, Merlin would always put his hand up and have the right answer, he would never miss a chance to take notes, Arthur even saw that Merlin was organised unlike Arthur who at the end of the day could never for the life of him find his notes in his mess notebook.
When the ball rang so the students could move onto their next lesson, Arthur waited for Merlin, he wanted to make sure the guy didn't think he was an ass, after all if his hated him then how would Arthur get him to go out with him.
When Merlin walked out the door, Arthur jumped to lost in thought that he almost missed him
"I'm Arthur" He said catching up to the other male
"I didn't ask" Merlin snapped
Arthur grabbed Merlin's arm stopping him
"I'm sorry about back in the class room" Arthur said smiling
"Look I get it, your some big shot in school and if your nice to the scholarship kid your get bumped down to loser I'm guessing" Merlin replied looking Arthur right in the eyes
"OK so I was an ass, but we can still be friends" Arthur said hoping
"No, look I didn't come here to make friends with the rich kids or be in any ones way. I know you all think I don't belong here and hey your right but I worked hard for this scholarship so that I could get into a good college and become a doctor. I'm not going to let any one of you rich kids stop me from making my mum proud so No the answer will always be no" Merlin said storming off
Arthur stood there for a moment letting Merlin's word sink in
No one had ever said No to Arthur, but that was not the point, the point was that the more he learned about Merlin Emrys the more he realised that they have a lot in common, they both want to be doctors to help people, they both wish to make their mother's proud of them and they both had word hard to get where they were now.
"I won't give up Emrys" Arthur muttered before walking towards his next class.
When Lunch had finally around, Arthur hoped to see more of Merlin; he didn't like the fact that they only had the one class so far, but as Arthur walked into the lunch hall the whole room went quite.
"Creepy" Arthur muttered
Arthur headed over to get himself a sandwich, feeling the eyes of everyone in the hall watching him.
"I take it because I was not an ass, you all hate me" Arthur said looking around the room
No one answered him
"Fuck you all" Arthur said walking out and slamming the door as hard as it would go.
