Chapter 2: Make it flutter

Earlier

"I'm already late," Jenrick said while running down the hallway but he got lost. He scratches his head and looks around. He is at a building that is completely unfamiliar to him. He just sighs and looks at his phone.

"Looks like I need your help," Jenrick said and he calls his father who is also a director in the academy. After a second ring, his father answered it with a groan.

"What?!" Jenrick just laughs and he hears how his father curse, the cause? Maybe some of the students who already cutting their classes.

"I'm lost, help me," Jenrick said while roaming around. The class is already going on and he doesn't know where to go.

"You are already 18 for god's sake! That's why I told you to go to school here!"

"Can you please lower down your voice. I think my ear is already destroyed" Jenrick said while walking to the main building. He knows where his father's office is located and he just passing casually when he saw a teacher that is holding a stick.

"God! Go up here and let me smack that head of yours!" Director Maximillian said that made Jenrick laugh, he looks at his phone until his father ended the call.

Jenrick is about turn left when the teacher notices him. He glares at him and he is marching going to him.

"Kid! It's already time for the class what are you doing here?!" the teacher said while glaring at Jenrick. Well he is not bothered by him, he saw already a countless strict teacher like him and he is already used to be yelled at.

"I'm going upstairs and look there is another student who is late,," Jenrick said while pointing out the student who is squatting, the teacher looks back and he saw the uneasy expression of the student.

"Come here!" Jenrick just smirks and continues walking going to the administrative office.

"Yow good morning" Jenrick greet his father with a smile on his face that made his father glaring at him. Jenrick sits down on the couch while he put his legs at the top of the center table.

"Ouch," Jenrick said while massaging the head that his father hit him. Director Maximillian removes Jenrick's legs at the table and pinches his legs.

"Yow that hurt" Jenrick said while looking at him.

"Yeah it does, first day of school and you are late?! I told you to go with me" his father said and he sits beside him.

"I told you too that I don't like attention. Besides riding the bus is fun" Jenrick said, he suddenly remembers the girl he met and he can't deny that she is cute when she is kind of pissed.

"You are stubborn, here is your class schedule. Please be good and stop playing with gadgets during class hours. I don't like troubles Jenrick" his father said and Jenrick stand up

"Yeah Jericho," he said and he runs while his father is yelling at him. He just laughs and his father reaches for his neck.

Jenrick thought that he is going to choke him but to his surprise, his father fixes his necktie that made him tear up a little bit.

"It's hard to do this when she is not here?" He asked while fixing it to the correct knots.

"Kind of? I can manage"

"Okay young man. Do you want me to teach you?" He said and he smiles at him.

Jenrick just chuckled and shook his head.

"Youtube is teaching me," he said and he just laughs at him when he saw his father's reaction.

"You brat! I'm trying to be a good father to you" he said while glaring at him.

"Nah you are already a good father," he said while tapping his shoulder.

"Gave me the map and the schedule please," Jenrick said while smirking at him.

"Don't get in trouble mister" he said while handling his schedule and map.

"Okay, sir" Jenrick smile, and he waves at his father.

While he is in the hallway, he sighs when he realized that his classroom is far away from the admin building.

"Yeah I going to run," he said and he runs.

"I bet your father has already stressed," Pip said while getting their snacks, it already breaks time and most of the students are in the canteen and cafeteria.

"He already is, from his big brother," Zaizen said and they look for the table to sit at. The girls around them start to talk about the new squad that they saw.

They used to see Pip and Zaizen together but another guy that is added to them that gain more attention from the students, especially to the girls.

"Nah he is cool with it but he is scolding us nonstop. He is cool" Jenrick said while getting a sandwich and banana milk.

"But he is still scolding you"

They seat at the nearest table and Jenrick notice the attention of the female students that made him uncomfortable.

"Why are they staring at us?" Jenrick asked and Pip look around, the girls look away and they pretend as nothing happen.

"Don't mind them" Pip said and they continue eating. Jenrick remembers something and he taps them.

"By the way do you know the cute girl, it's Piper right?" Jenrick said and Pip look at him, Pip chokes him that made Zaizen choke on his drink.

"Dude why are calling my sister cute?" Pip said and Jenrick kicks his leg that made him groan. Jenrick drinks his banana milk and he coughs while glaring at him.

"She is your sister?!"

"Twin sister to be exact, she is my girlfriend's best friend" Zaizen explained while looking at Pip's snack and he snatches the pringles that made Pip glare at him.

"Give me that! Buy one" he said while taking the pringles on Zaizen.

"What a pig, I can buy you a factory of it!" Zaizen answered back

"Then buy one!"

"Anyway, hey stick man doesn't do anything to my sister," Pip said while raising his left eyebrow.

"I find her cute" he answered and Pip just threatens him with his stick.

"I didn't know, okay? She is not my type" Jenrick says but his heart is telling the opposite.

"Yeah cause you always ditch us when we invite you to go to my house," Pip said, Jenrick scratch his head.

"I'm busy with my games! And you know that I don't like sports!" Jenrick defends himself.

"All day on pc. Dude, are you even eating?" Zaizen said and Jenrick raises his middle finger.

"Can't you see that I am eating? And correction sometimes I'm playing at my phone" Jenrick defended.

"Dude whatever"

"You have the schedule on my sister later. Do I guard her?" Pip asked that made Jenrick choke on his food.

"Here here water" Zaizen handed him water.

"I won't do anything, promise!"

"Okay you say so but if I found out that you are making moves on her. I will smash your head" Pip said while glaring at him.

As the break over the students suddenly rushes outside that made them look at each other.

"Piper!"

"Catherine!"

"Natalia!"

Jenrick notices the number of students smiling at the three girls going to the classroom that made him curious. He nudges Zaizen asking what is happening.

"Oh, the students are being friendly with them" Zaizen answered that made Pip burst into laughter.

"That's funny," Jenrick said while rolling his eyes.

"Kidding well they are kind of famous. Because of one thing about them" Zaizen said and they continue walking.

"What is it?" Jenrick asked, Pip is going to answer him but the bell rings indicated that the second subject is going to start.

"Being a student how can you help the fellow students who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and others?" the teacher asked his student while smiling at them.

Due to the arrangements made by the teacher, Jenrick and Piper are seated next to each other.

"What are you doing?" Jenrick asked while staring at Piper.

"I'm taking down notes, can't you see?" Piper said still her eyes on her notebook.

"I can see that. I'm just asking" he said, Jenrick can't focus on the lesson instead he just put down his head to the table to sleep.

"Mr. Maximillan trying to sleep?" the teacher unexpectedly calls him that made him stand up and he smiles at the teacher.

"Answer my question," he said and Jenrick scratches his nape.

He looks at his friends that are smirking at him to ask for help from them. Pip pull out his tongue that made him glare at him and Pip is silently laughing.

To his surprise, Piper taps his finger and secretly show her notes.

"Sir I can help them by telling them courage words" Jenrick answered and his teacher just nodded his head.

The teacher continues discussing while Jenrick secretly gave Piper a bar of small chocolate.

"I have this in my bag every time. A thank you gift" Jenrick says while smiling at Piper.

It sounds dumb but it made Piper's heart flutter. Piper just accepts it and she kept it inside of her bag. Jenrick just smiles and he decided to focus on the class before he tempts to open his phone.

"Okay, class dismissed," the teacher said and the boys made a loud noise when they heard that the afternoon class is suspended due to the emergency meeting.

"Jen, let's play," Zaizen said while showing the volleyball ball to Jenrick. Jenrick quickly raises his fist that made Zaizen burst into waves of laughter.

"Just watch us," Pip said while he wraps his arms around Jenrick.

"Excuse me but I have to borrow your friend," Piper said while smiling at them.

Pip suddenly remembers what Jenrick said earlier and he chokes him that shock Piper and his friends.

"F-fuck l-let go," Jenrick says while hitting Pip's shoulder. Piper bites Pip's arms that made him whine in pain.

"You stupid" Piper said while hitting Pip's head. Zaizen just laughs and he stops when Natty hits him.

"That was close," Jenrick said while coughing up. Pip just pout and glare at Jenrick. Catherine just smiles at them.

"Anyway let's go," Piper said and she gets off her bag. Piper goes out of the classroom while Jenrick is following her.

"I wonder if you know my name. Cause I know yours" Jenrick said and he looks at Piper who is beside him.

He slowly put his hand in his pocket, still looking g at her. Jenrick finds her pretty, her nose is pointed and also her eyes are attractive. It likes melting him in love.

"You are Jenrick, director's son. Sir Sy introduce you earlier" Piper said, she took a glance at Jenrick but to her surprise, Jenrick is staring at her.

It made Piper's heart flutter again.

"Right, well don't address me as the director son. Just a normal student" Jenrick said while he looks around.

"Anyway here is the lab usually we do our activities and research"

"Lab?"

"Laboratory" Piper emphasize before Jenrick took a pick up line on it.

"Oh, I thought you are calling me. Labs" he said while smirking and Piper roll her eyes. That action made him chuckled.

"Back to the tour, we are going to the gym. Of course, the gym has a basketball court and also volleyball" Piper said and Jenrick is listening to her with a smile on his face.

"Do you like sport?" Jenrick asked and Piper looks at him.

"Yeah but I'm not allowed"

"Why?"

"I have asthma" Piper simply answered that made him shut up. Piper's sense that Jenrick got silent made her chuckled.

"If I made you worried, don't worry it's fine for me," Piper said and Jenrick looks at her.

"I thought I made you offended"

"No I mean you didn't know," Piper said and she smiles at Jenrick, the assurance smile.

That made Jenrick smile and felt something that he shouldn't.

"I never thought that Pip has a twin" Jenrick suddenly said that made Piper look at him. They are inside of the gym know.

They decided to sit on the benches while watching the cheerleaders practicing.

"I've been friends with Pip almost 1 year and it is the first time I learn about it," Jenrick said

"Pip is not talkative about our family. He rarely talks about me or either my father. He just enjoys time with his friends without mentioning me" Piper explain and Jenrick nodded his head.

"He is protective of you. I understand if I have a sister I would do that" Jenrick said while looking at her.

"So want me to be your sister?" Piper asked that made Jenrick shocked and he giggles.

That response made Piper smile.

"No"

"Why? I'm kind"

"I can see it to your face but I want you to be my wife. It is okay?" Jenrick directly said, flashing his charming smile.

Her heart flutters again.
