Chapter 3: Transferred

Michael's p. o. v:

"Hey Michael! Guess what? I've got a delightful news for you", my dad called me. It made me whisked back into reality after I was daydreaming about something that's exceptionally good. "What is it, dad?? " I inquired. "You don't have to be home-schooled anymore. You're going to a public highschool named Beverly Hills High School!! " my dad exclaimed in a chirpy and delightful mood. My siblings and my mom were overjoyed by this such tremendous and fantastic news. "This happens way too fast dad" I said. "What's wrong son? You don't like it? " my dad then questioned me. "It's not that I dislike it. But, wow! I'm speechless. I don't know what to say because I didn't expected that this will happened to me. Wait a minute, how about my brothers? " I asked. Well, they too deserve to go to public school. I love my siblings very much. They're the source of my happiness despite being involved in a music industry. Tito then responded, "Michael, you want this don't you? Then go for it!! What are you waiting for?? ". Marlon said "Hey, don't worry about us, okay?? We'll be perfectly fine even though we didn't get chosen. But you, you'll make us proud when you set your feet into that school alright lil' brother?? " "Okay then", I replied. Okay, I'm not a pessimist type of person. But, I do have questions. What if the school that I'm going to are full of cynical people. Or at least there must be some good-natured crowd there. Okay, quit it out Michael!! Just be yourself and everything will be work perfectly fine!! My two mind set were bickering over small and unimportant stuff. Or so I thought. To tell you the truth, I do hope that I could experience as a normal teenager living a normal life in high school. You know, doing what teenagers usually do, hanging out with bosom friends, have fun with them, fall in love with someone at highschool, all that stuff rather than being home-schooled for 3 hours with my tutor every weeks days. Don't get me wrong here. There's nothing wrong with my tutor and the way he thought me about life and educational stuff. Oh, pardon me! I forgot to mentioned his name. His name is Mr. Edward. He's in his mid-forties and he's also a well-mannered man. I respect him by all his perseverance and endurance. He's like my guidance. Always have courage and be kind. That's one of his greatest advice to me and I swear that I'll never forget this quotable advice. For the ladies out there who are still finding Mr. Perfect, he could be your taste. Boy, he's got the look!! He had a wonderful smile even when he showed his teeth. I bet the ladies will faint out of adorement. He's not a chauvinistic type as he always believe that all women are capable as men and he even respects them too!! Alright, back to the main issue. I'm alright with me being home-schooled. But....... I aspire to go to the real world and enjoy my whole life studying at a public highschool, meet new friends, make love to someone at least??? I once had a relationship with a girl that happened to be the same age as me. I don't want to mention her name so as not to make her feel embarasse. Well, let me put this way. Things got very complicated and strained. So, we both decided to cool off. Of coures, we do fight but not up to the point that we shouted at each other. No. We compromised and discussed our problems seriously. We became friends but that close anymore. Well, maybe I wasn't lucky at the time. Okay, okay I don't want to waste my time talking about my past because I need to get ready for school. Wait........ I think I miss something. Oh, darn it!! I forgot to ask my dad when I will start schooling. I approached to dad who was reading a newspaper while my mom was sewing some clothes. My siblings were nowhere to be seen. "Dad, when will I start schooling? ", I asked. "Tomorrow, son", dad replied. Tomorrow's Tuesday. My God!! I have to prepare lots of books and stationeries. Luckily, I did bought some of the books from the bookshop that is located right down the street. I decided to lend a few dollars from my dad and promised him to give him back the change. I hurriedly went down to the bookshop. Just as I stepped into the so-called bookshop, the lady at the counter greeted me with a smile on her face so genuinely. The people in the bookshop are so decent. That's why I love to come here if I wanted to buy some random books for me to fill my boredom. The workers on the other hand did their job seriously and attentively. I think they deserve a credit from it. They too must've been paid a good salary from the owner of the bookshop. Anyways, I browsed through every single books from one shelf to another. Just after I got what I need, I straight away went to the counter and paid everything. It cost $32.60. It's a good thing that my dad gave me $40.00. I made I quick mental calculation. Urmmmmm........ she supposed to give me $7.40 as a change. I guessed it correctly. She did gave me the exact amount of money. I practiced mental calculation since I was 7 even though my maths are pretty crappy. I thanked her and went back home. As I was brisking ahead, I thought about how my whole life will change differently. I did prepared myself by studying (I know studying really do sucks a lot, but hey you have to do it if you wanna achieve something) so I will not miss a thing when the teacher explains in class. I smiled to my self and prayed hard so that everything's going to be a fine day tomorrow. Wish me luck guys. 😁😁
