Chapter Eight
I entered the limousine feeling empty. The ride went smoothly but I can't feel it, I'm just looking outside the window while waiting for the engine to stop. The grand gate opened and our maids were there, watching the limousine to stop 'til it reach the front yard. I held my bag and went out, not giving them any look. They don't even deserve my precious gaze, they're just here to do their job. That's all.
The maids opened the double doors for me, I walked inside the mansion feeling unbothered by their presence. When I heard a random sound of a glass shattered on the floor, I almost jumped in shock.
Then to my surprise, Sharon appeared from the living room with furious face and bloodshot eyes. She walked near me, behind her is Innov and Akira.
"What did you do this time, huh? The dean called and she's looking for Martin! She said you're making troubles again! Why a
Chapter NineI felt a hallow on my chest as I remember those words from my own father and from Sharon. They don't know what I'm feeling and they don't really care about my feelings. They don't actually care if their words can hurt and tear me apart.They are here to scold and give me sermons not to hear my side and understand my rants.Now I realized I'm totally alone in this battle. I'm fighting all alone. I have no supporters and no one is there for me but only me, myself and I.I need to face this battle independently. I can't just depend myself on others even especially on the people here in mansion. I need to get used to being alone. If mom is just here next to me...That's why when dinner came, I didn't come out my room. I didn't take my dinner 'coz I have no appetite at all. Aside from that, I don't wanna see their faces yet. After what happened, a
Chapter Ten"Drink this. It soothes. If you wanna get away from the ghost of your past, you should accept the present and strive for the future. This is kinda hard, by the way." Baron handed me a shotglass.My lips rose as I stared at it. He arched his brow. Short-tempered ass. I rolled my eyes before I took the drink he offered. He smiled boyishly and faced his girls again."Let's have fun, Van. Just forget your problems for the mean time!" Rashid said loudly because of the loud music background, we need to raise our voice for us to hear each other.I nodded and took straight gulp from the drink without hesitations. My face crumpled as I felt the sting on my throat but seconds later, I gained what Baron said, the soothing part. It's like it soothed my messed up mind. I find it fun so I took another shot, another and another, until I found myself standing and starting swaying my body. I da
Chapter ElevenI'm knocking my feet on the ground while waiting for the nurse to come out. The movement of my toes turned slower when my eyes shifted to Yukenzo who's busy glaring at me. He's resting at the white-painted wall here in infirmary, students who are passing by the hallway were wondering why me and this jerk are together."I'm sorry, we're already out of stock." The nurse came back only to tell me the bad news.What? Their pain reliever is already out of stock? What kind of infirmary this school has?"Okay, whatever!" I rolled my eyes irritatingly and stepped forward."That's it? You won't arrange yourself? You can't ruin someone's day again, Arnaez!"I rolled my eyes once again. Yukenzo started to walk towards me. He almost bury me alive earlier when I accidentally vomited on his uniform. I swear, it was just an accident. I don't kn
Chapter TwelveMy steps were heavy yet firm as I marched to the stairs of the seniors building. I even saw some teachers roaming around the area so I needed to hide myself and sneaked quietly. I succeeded though. Easy-peasy things.At first, I traveled my eyes to the first classroom here on the first floor. I started observing carefully. I made sure I memorized his face before I planned of confronting him face to face. No one can get away from me. I'll make sure he'll face my wrath and he'll regret that he agreed with Dad's terms. My eyes narrowed while seeking for that person but to my disappointment, he's not in this section. So I walked towards the second classroom and did the same, I seek for his presence there, I familiarized all of their faces but still, there's no he I've seen. Until I already checked all the rooms in first floor but like my other attempts, I failed.So I dec
Chapter ThirteenThe warm wind was breezing all through my spot here. I'm sitting at the bench while sightseeing the wide soccer field. There were tall trees around, including growing plants and flowers. It feel so peaceful and calm here that's why I chose this area to do my momentum. I think this will be my favorite spot here in Clinton from now on.I put my backpack on my lap and unzipped it. I searched for my cellphone because I felt it was vibrating earlier. Or was it just my imagination?Even so, I still checked my phone and to my widely surprise, almost 70 missed calls and texts welcomed my eyes. There were few from Dad and the rest are from Dublin. My forehead creased as I wondered. 70 missed calls, really? Are they even true? What's the fuss in those attempts? One of the texts says greetings from Dublin but what caught my attention is the last words in his message. It says '
Chapter Fourteen"Yes!" I whispered loudly after I climbed up to the wall of the campus, at the back of the restroom where there were a lot of pieces of glass located in every peak of the wall.I'm not alone though, I'm with some delinquents in my batch whom I caught in the act of climbing the walls and I found out that cutting classes was already their expertise. They helped me to get out of the campus and we did it before the councils could catch us!But they're probably haunting us by now because of the CCTV camera. They might catch us any minutes from now."Thanks, guys. Here's my payment." I said and handed each of them a bubblegum.I blowed the bubblegum I'm chewing and it made a bomb sound the moment it grew bigger."Bubblegum? Seriously?" One of them, said disappointingly. I arched my brow because I can sense their complaint
Chapter FifteenInnov is looking at me, with brows furrowed and clear accusations reflecting in his eyes. So, that's it? He's believing in his bitch sister? Of course, he will side with her. She's the sister by the way."I didn't---" I was about to explain myself but the feminine steps of stilettos echoed in the whole room.The next thing we heard was the strict and polished voice of their mother."What's happening here? Innov? Why is she crying?" Sharon pertained to Akira.We turned to her and I have seen her usual sophisticated look, wearing beige sleeved dress and coat above her fine shoulders. She just arrived from her work, being a fashion designer in their own company. Their relatives, specifically, her parents built the company for them, fund was their own blood and sweat. Before she met Dad, their company was sinking because they're lack of investments.
Chapter SixteenMy throat was swelling as I marched upstairs. My eyesight were blurry and my nose have reddened as well. I locked myself in my room and hurriedly went to the bed. Hot liquids gushed down my cheeks and it fell on the bedsheets. I took the pillow and hugged it tightly while letting my tears flow like waterfalls.So, this is his punishment for the things I didn't have done. Why can't he believe me? Why they can't see that I'm telling the truth? Am I not that trustworthy?Probably I'm really not.I'm so tired of explaining myself to the people who can't even listen to me. I'm so much tired defending myself to the ones who can't understand my side. I rarely explain but this time, I realized I don't actually need to do that for them to love and believe me. They're not worth my explanations.I sobbed and sobbed again, letting my emotions to burst out.
