A Dangerous Flower!

Before he signed the contract, he verified the lottery ticket through his phone. His almost empty bank became filled with tons of money. After the money was transferred, he signed the contract and bought the HUMM-V 20. He bought 10 sets of spare parts together with it.

'Thinking about people with bad intentions, now, is not good. Apocalypse will fall soon. If I don't prepare today, it might be too late later on.'

His father first walked out of the car showroom. Upon catching up to his father, He saw a confused look at his father's face.

"Pa, what's the problem?"

"Uh... I'm just troubled about how we would bring the Corolla home? I mean... I know you can already drive but, you don't have a license yet, right?"

At this moment, Jerry arrived, to handover the key of Jose's HUMM-V 20. Jerry wasn't able to hear what they talked about but he felt awkward upon seeing the frown on the faces of the father and son duo.

"Sir... Here is the key to your brand new car. Congratula~"

"Aha!"

Before Jerry could show his gratitude for a successful deal, Jose's eyes shined bright.

"Brother Jerry... I and my father had a bit of a problem. I was hoping that you can help us."

"Problem? What is it, sir? If anything that is within my capabilities, I would gladly help."

"You see." Jose pointed to their Toyota Corolla.

"We can only take one car home. I was hoping that you can help us bring the car to the Golden Summit Hotel in three days' time."

"Golden Summit Hotel?"

"Golden Summit Hotel?"

His father and Jerry were astounded to the point that their jaws dropped down to the floor.

"Yeah. I have a friend that invited me to a car-related event. I was hoping that Brother Jerry can bring our precious corolla there."

"That~that's not a problem."

"It's settled then."

"Uhm."

Jerry handed the HUMM-V 20 key to Jose. While his father handed the corolla key to Jerry. They shook hands afterward. The father and son duo ride the car and departed the car showroom. At that moment, Jerry jumped up and down after securing his first sale after three months.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Whoosh!

The two big-bodied salesmen came out of the employees' area after having lunch. They ignored Jerry whom to them looked like a retard.

"What's with him?"

"Ignore him. Being not able to sell a vehicle for three months and the threat of losing his job... Maybe, he is starting to lose his mind."

"Hahaha, that explains it."

"Ow, look brother! An SRW-E8! The owner must be a rich tycoon. Get ready brother... Our Christmas bonus has arrived."

The two men rubbed their hands as Jerry went to the employees' area to eat his lunch.

In the HUMM-V 20...

"Son... Pinch me. Am I still dreaming?"

"Hahaha. There's no need to do that, Pa. You better ready an explanation to our neighbors. They might become suspicious of our new car."

"Heh... You worry too much. We can just tell them that you somehow got the heart of a daughter of a rich tycoon. Hahahaha!"

"Tch... Using your son as an escape..."

"Hahaha, I know that everyone would accept that... Except for Clara."

"Haaaah... I'll think of a plan later on."

"Ok! Ok!"

After thirty minutes, they arrived at Jose's university. Everyone's attention was fixed on the Black Shinny HUMM-V 20. Jose felt like a celebrity as some of the students even took out their phones to take a photo of the luxury vehicle.

"A HUMM-V 20!"

"The latest model by the PMVC! It was just released last month. And it was rumored that only seven people in the country own one."

"If I became rich... I would definitely buy one."

"Keep Dreaming!"

"Keep Dreaming!" +1

"Keep Dreaming!" +2

...

Jose didn't think that their car would get too much attention. Luckily, he was wearing a black face mask, enough to hide his identity. The reason why he was in university was that he wanted to try and catch up to their class' Christmas party.

"Thanks for the ride, Pa."

"No worries. Give me a call when you're about to go home. I'll go and keep on 'test-driving' this beast."

His father smiled as he went down the car.

"Huummmm..."

The vehicle roared loudly that took the attention of the people back to the vehicle. This made Jose blend into the crowd as he went in circles, to shake off anyone who followed him. After five minutes he arrived outside his classroom. The door was open and the happy cheers of his classmate can be heard in the hallway.

He sneakily peeked inside and saw the happy Arthur who was sitting right beside Sophia. The chairs were arranged in a circle, parallel to the wall, to give a huge space in the middle. On each chair, some of his classmates were sitting and chatting. Above their desks, some had gifts that were wrapped.

Near the board, another table was placed beside the professor's table and it was where the foods were located. There were various Filipino delicacies like Lechon, 'Pancit', Spring rolls, Fried Chicken, some veggies and of course, Rice. Beside it was the water and some juices together with the cakes.

"Grrrrr!" His stomach sounded upon seeing the foods.

"Tch... How shameless! You just arrived and you wanted to eat already!"

"Ah!" Jose was astounded. He jumped forward instinctively to place a space between him and the person.

"Clara?" Upon realizing that it was Clara, Jose relaxed.

'I almost sent a punch to her. Sigh...'

"Why are you so surprised? And what's with the mask? You sick?"

"Uhm... it's noting. I had a cold this morning."

"No wonder you just came now."

"Yeah. Sorry about that. I tried my best to catch up."

"Don't worry, there are still some events this afternoon. Let's go in. Arthur was looking for you since this morning."

"Uhmm..."

Jose nodded as he followed Clara into their room.

"Everyone! A celebrity has just arrived." Clara took the attention of their classmates. They instantly shifted their gaze to Clara and Jose.

"Sister Clara, you didn't need to lie us about going to the toilet."

"Yeah! Yeah! You could have just told us that your gonna pick up your boyfr~Classmate Jose!"

"Hahahaha!"

The whole classroom erupted into laughter. Clara became beet red.

"As expected from my master! To be able to get the heart of~"

Swoosh!

Arthur approached Jose and Clara. But before he could fully praise Jose, Clara sent a punch straight to his guts that made Arthur curled up on the floor.

"Who's next?" Clara lifted her fist and scare her classmates. All of them held their laughter as they forced their faces to look calm whilst shaking their heads.

"Classmate Clara surely can't take a joke..."

"You want another one?"

"No!"

"Then be quiet. Hmph!"

Clara went to her friends as the classroom became noisy once again.

'A dangerous flower... ' Jose shooked his head after thinking what would happen to him if he became Clara's lover. Clara was beautiful and sweet, but when she is angry, no one dares to stand in her way, no one other than Jose in their class.
