PATRICE MAURICIO ‘s P.O.V.
My smile is so very wide, I feel like my lips will be…
“Maybe your lips will be torn up,” Brena whispered to me. “Also, is this how you like math? And that makes you smile that wide?” Brena whispered, laughing at me.
“No. I don’t like math. I’m even weaker when it comes to math.” I whispered back to Brena.
“Then why is that? Why are you so wide with your smile?”
I smiled up to my ears. No. maybe, beyond my ear.
How can I not smile widely? I just found out that the future fiancé I’m looking for and, my Prince Charming, is one!!
“Patrice!”
I touched my cheeks. It’s heated. I’m not in pain. The steam from the aircon isn’t hot, but I feel like my cheeks are red just thinking of my future fiancé.
“Miss Patrice!”
I want to calm down. But how? Just behind me sat John Andrew Cabrera.
“Miss Patrice Mauricio!”
I jumped slightly in my seat when I heard my full name out loud.
“Ma ... Ma’am.” At once, I smiled slightly.
Have I ever been called to mention my name in full?
“Stand up!” Our teacher shouted.
I innocently pointed to myself. “Is it me, Ma’am?”
“Who else am I looking at?”
“To me, Ma’am?” I answer as a question.
I’m not sure if she’s looking at me. What if our teacher is cockeyed, and she didn’t look at me? I would be embarrassed when I stood up?
“Correct.”
“Ah, thank you?” My answer is questionable again.
“Now, what are you going to do?” Ma’am calmly asked me, but why did I feel like she wanted to scold me?
“Uhmm...” What to do after the Math subject teacher shouts your full name?
“Patrice, what’s that next to do?” Our teacher asked me.
“Hmm ...” I thought. What should I do next? “Perform? Like, dance? Sing? Is that so, Ma’am?” I innocently ask.
All my classmates laughed except for the two behind us, John Andrew and the Antipathetic-arrogant, Alex.
Our teacher got on his forehead.
I don’t know what to do next after the math subject teacher shouts the full name of his student.
“Stand up!” Suddenly our teacher shouted and the laughing students earlier suddenly fell silent.
Who is our teacher referring to stand up?
“I said, stand up, Miss Patrice Mauricio!”
“Me? Me?”
I immediately stood up when our teacher shouted that. If I’m the one she wants to stand up to, why not just say right away?
“Now.” Our teacher walked to the whiteboard and pointed to question number 3.
Omg! I think I will not like what our teacher will say next.
“This. What is the answer to this question?”
I knew it! How can I know the answer? I don’t even know our lesson for today.
“Uhmm ... Ma’am,” I didn’t know the answer. “May I go out? I need to pee.” Rather than say directly that I don’t know the answer.
My classmates laughed again. Is it my fault that I don’t know the answer and don’t know about math, except for the multiplication table.
“Silent!”
The whole class fell silent.
“And you, Miss Patrice Mauricio, go to the very back, bring your math book and notebook, then stand up. You will stand there until this class is over.”
“Ma’am!” I appeal. This math subject is still one and a half hours away.
“Will you stand there or, will you answer question number three to question number six? You will choose.”
I smiled. I quickly picked up my pen, math notebook and thick math book then took a walk to the very back, then stood up. I’d rather just stand up at the back, than answer math problems. It’s the same because when I answer, I will just stand up. But, facing the whiteboard and thinking of an answer, I’m just here in the back while listening and trying to get this lesson into my brain.
I stood at the very back while carrying my book and notebook. I suddenly looked at the Antipathetic man, named Alex Shin. He looked at me like your-stupid-look.
He’s annoying, especially because he thought his whole presence was annoying. As if he knows the answer to the math problems, I’m sure he doesn’t even know the answers to our Math Teacher’s question.

“The one who got the highest score was none other than, John Andrew Cabrera.”
Most of my female classmates applauded after Andrew’s name was announced, others shouted how much they crushed Andrew.
On the other hand, I was applauded alone when I heard Andrew’s name at the highest in our surprise quiz. He’s not only handsome and gentlemanly, but he’s also smart in math. So it is not surprising that she was popular with my female classmates.
“The lowest scorer was none other than… Patrice Mauricio.”
I looked at our Teacher. She was also looking at me.
“I will have a higher score next time, Ma’am.” I’m embarrassed to say.
And, how can I not have gotten a lower score for our quiz today? One and a half hours I stood alone here in the very back, then all of a sudden we will have a quiz. How can I focus if I’m standing and my feet hurt?
“I will expect that.” Our math teacher said as she arranged her belongings.
But, I didn’t promise to you, Ma’am.
“Goodbye, class.”
“Goodbye, Ma’am.” We also say goodbye to our Teacher.
When our Teacher came out, I quickly ran to my seat. As I sat down I slightly raised my legs.
“Are your feet are okay?” Brena asked me.
This is another Brena. She is also good at Math. She is the only top3 highest in our surprise quiz today.
“A little bit? I don’t know, but it hurts.” I answer.
“What were you thinking before and you’re not focused on class? I thought you love math that’s why you smiled widely earlier.”
I innocently narrowed my eyes. I can’t tell her that Andrew is what I’m thinking, maybe what else is she will thinking.
“Nothing. I just don’t understand the lesson right now. You know, I’m not blessed with Math intelligence.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you with math. If you don’t understand anything just ask me. I’m not that good at Math, but I’ll share with you what I know.”
My eyes lit up at what Brena said.
“Brena?! Thanks! Thank you so much!” I’m happy to say.
I’m so lucky that Brena became my friend. She is so kind, yet smart.
PATRICE MAURICIO ‘s P.O.V. Brena and I arranged our belongings. When I finished arranging things, I stood up and looked at the door. The two students who entered the classroom caught my attention. They are two men. Their faces are attention-grabbing. They were both handsome and had a smooth-faced face. “We will pick you two up.” Then one handsome man said while laughing He has tanned skin colour and has a towering height. His eyes are beautiful and have long eyelashes. “Right. Maybe where else do you two go, especially you, Alex.” A tall man said as well. His eyes are narrow. He has white and flawless skin. The two men approached Alex and Andrew. Do Andrew and Alex have two more handsome friends?! Another student from another section, as well as our classmates, approached the four. Th
PATRICE MAURICIO ’ s P.O.V. Before fixing myself, I stared first at myself in front of the mirror.After I made up my face, put on some make up to my face. I took my bag. Before going out I check first the contents of my bag if I am carrying my wallet and of course my cell phone. When I was sure that I had the two most important things in my life with me, I left in my room.When I came out of the room I almost had a heart attack when I saw Nanny.“Nanny, I’m surprised at you. I thought it was Daddy or Mommy.”“You’re even more surprising. I thought you were a thief. If I didn’t remember that’s you, I might have called the guard.”“Yeah. Peace.” And signed peace with Nanny.“Are you leaving now?”“Yes, Nanny.&
BRENA QUIN BAESAS ’ s P.O.V. I was about to get out of the car when suddenly my phone rang from my skirt pocket.“Notification from HIS group app.”HIS group app, this is an application exclusively for Heirs International School students, like me. This is just like other social media accounts that can post status and pictures, the difference between posting about it and events within HIS is that it cannot appear on other social media accounts, otherwise there is a corresponding penalty if it violates it.“What is the meaning of this?” I whispered.There was a video uploaded to the HIS group app that, Patrice was supposed to pour orange juice in a can, but Andrew suddenly stopped him so he was the first to throw it.“This is Rachelle.” I
ALEX SHIN ’ s P.O.V.I rubbed my forehead lightly when I recognized who the woman we had met was.She is one of my women. She is beautiful, has a big breast, and a beautiful physique. But, that wasn’t enough for me to be with her. Also, I’m not the type of guy to last with just one woman. Apparently, the ocean is too wide for me to look for other fish.“Who is this?” She asked me and pointed to the woman next to me.Who is the woman with me? I don’t even know her name, she just wanted me to date, and because I saw her breasts are big, I agreed to go with her.The woman with me removed my hug to her shoulder. She looked at me as if waiting for my answer.“Hmmm…” I pretended to think of her name.I really don’t
ALEX SHIN ’ s POINT OF VIEW“Hello, My SB. I miss you.”I almost laughed out loud when I saw Strawberry her eyes widened. A mixture of astonishment, shock and annoyance was evident on his face. His reaction was priceless.I really had no intention of pulling Miss Strawberry but I knew this woman wouldn't stop bothering me especially because she knew we weren't the woman she was referring to.I secretly smiled. How can I have a relationship with that woman? Apart from the fact that I didn't courted her before, I would have too many competitors with her, competitors that I knew if I competed with them I would only lose.“Hey, Alex.”I looked at this woman.“Now, what?” This woman asked me.“What? Here is my one and only serious girlfriend, my SB. What do you need?&l
PATRICE MAURICIO ’ s P.O.V. I hurried out of the car. I'll be late. My first subject is Math. Our teacher in Math is I am her favorite, favorite to stand alone in the back until I can't answer the math question.“Ah! Wait! Wait! Wait, Mr. Guard!” I shouted when the school guard was about to close the gate. When the gate closes for me, I will run ten more times in the open field before entering our first subject.Like me, my fellow students who were also late for school were shouting.When approaching the school gate correctly the school guard closed it.“Line up.” The school guard told us.We could do nothing but line up as we prepared our I.D. to give it to a P.E. teacher to watch over us.Our queue was one by one as we handed over our I.D. Then, we lined up to go to the open field.
PATRICE MAURICIO `s P.O.V. Almost every day, exhausting. This is my situation almost every day.“Wait!” I shouted as I ran to the school gate.“Don't close the gate, Mr. Bodyguard!” I still shout.When I got close to the school gate, I almost cried when it closed. We begged to Mr. School Guard but he didn’t let us be let in.I just want to jump and roll inside the campus. I will run ten times again in an oval the size of a mall.When I give my I.D. in a P.E. teacher whose name is Sir Steve, the keeper of the late runs in the oval. When I gave the I.D. I laughed at it.“You again. Looks like in a week you only don't run in the oval twice every morning.”“Hehehe…”I would no longer be su
PATRICE MAURICIO's P.O.V.When we finished all our classes for this morning, I felt like I couldn't even get up and eat because I was feeling so exhausted. Since our exam was close, we did nothing for this morning, not just to take the quiz.“That's how strawberries dry?” I heard that from Shin.I looked at Shin and kicked him in his leg. It jumped in pain, and he didn't seem to expect that kick from me. Serves him right.“The strength of your kick.” Shin complained.“I don't care.”I looked at Andrew as it passed in front of me. I stood up and
