Chapter 7
"It's dangerous here, they already know we're here, what are we going to do?" I heard brother, mommy and daddy talking in the living room.
I was currently going downstairs earlier when I heard them talking, I hid on the side first and listened to their conversation.
"We can't leave, our lives are here, how about your work?" I heard daddy ask my older brother
"Dad, I don't fuck*ng care about my work, I can apply to another hospital, the important thing now is our safety."Kuya reasoned out.
"You're in the middle of your clerkship son, how are you going to do that?"
I didn't hear my older brother answer so I continued my plan to go downstairs.
"Good Morning Mom, Dad, Kuya" I greeted them with a smile on my face.
My brother go to me and hugs me tightly, I have a feeling that their serious conversation earlier was all about me and what happened last time.
"Good Morning Mackie" mom and dad did the same thing.
"Where's my little brother?" I asked them,
He should be downstairs now because we're going to be late for school.
"I'm here miss me already? As far as I remember we saw each other last night before you sleep." he is smiling while he's walking down the stairs, probably teasing me.
"Awww... baby boy, how did you know that your big sister is missing you already?" I teased back
He just rolled his eyes at me and start walking going outside.
"You're teasing your little brother again Mackie" dad said in such a low voice.
I looked at him and pout.
"He started it, dad, you know me well. I will not let anyone tease me."
"And you also know me well Mackie. Your pouting skills will not affect me, be patient with your little brother, will you? You know that he's a baby."
"DAD! I HEARD THAT! I'm NOT A BABY ANYMORE! DAMN IT. ATE LET'S GO WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE ON SCHOOL!." my brother shouted from the outside.
Such a baby brat.
I laugh and face dad again.
"Dad, don't be so serious. We're just teasing each other. You know that it's out bonding." I told dad
"I know, I know, it's just... Ugh. We need to be more serious now Mackie." daddy answered
"Why? Can't we play around and throw some sarcastic and corny jokes to each other?" I asked him.
"Dad, joke is a joke. Why are you so serious? We should be laughing by now." I added.
"You will not going to understand what daddy Is saying because you don't know the situation." my brother interfere.
"Care to share what's happening? So that I will understand the situation." I asked.
Daddy shook his head before tapping my shoulders.
"Not now Mackie, you and your brother will be late for school."
I sigh in disbelief and just do what they say.
I was shocked when I saw Janssen outside his car.
How can I forget that he's the one who will take care of me outside the house?
"Hop in. We're late" he said in a serious voice.
I tsk. And place my self in the shotgun seat while Alexius is in the car of my older brother. Why can't we just ride the same car? besides, I'm still not comfortable with Janssen we're not that close.
I look around inside the car, this is not the car he brings yesterday, where is that car? Does he have a plan to exchange cars every day?
"My car is broken. This is Mom's car." he said after he starts the engine.
"Who's asking?"
He smirked before he answers "I know that you're wondering why am I bringing a different car."
I didn't answer him and just wait for him to start driving. As we pass our gate, the two of us remain quiet, not until.
" Where did you go yesterday?" he starts talking again.
"Why do you want to know?" I asked back
"Of course I want to know! I'm the one who's taking care of you. I should know where you are!"
He's the one who's taking care of me?!
"EXCUSE ME! HOW COME YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ME?!. FOR.YOUR.INFORMATION. I CAN HANDLE MYSELF. INCASE YOU DON'T KNOW, I HAVE A SKILLS IN FIGHTING" my eyes are wide open when I said those words.
"You can't, you're still weak, you don't have the strength to fight those bastards. I know that you can fight because you are the so called GANGSTER in our school but you're still a girl, you're skills are not enough." he explain
"Are you insulting me?" I asked because he sound like one for me.
"No!" he answer immediately
"I'm not insulting you! i'm just stating facts" he added
"yeah right" I said in a sarcastic tone
"What? I'm telling the truth."
"Shut up, just focus on the rode. You're being talkative this time." I commanded him.
We both stayed quiet until we reach the school.
He got out of the car first, I was waiting for him to open the door for me but he just walked straight.
It seems like he notice that I'm not yet stepping out of the car so he stopped walking, he he look back to me so I
quickly pretended that i'm fixing my belongings.
He started walking back while his both hands is in his pocket. Before he could get close, I opened the car door so I could get out. I wear my bag and walked.
I had no intention of stopping walking even though Janssen was still walking towards me, I was surprised when he grabbed my arm and took me back into the car.
My fingers are almost cut when he slammed the door. I knock at the window, he looked at me and smirked before opening the door again.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked him as soon as I stepped out of the car.
He didn't say a word, I looked at him as he walk away again.
The heck? what was that?
He's really weird.
I just ignored what he did and I followed him in. In just few hours, the class will start and I can't be late.
"There's the Gangster"
"My God, who will he fight this time?"
"Hey, do you know? I saw him get out of Janssen's car"
"Really? Why are they together?"
"I don't know, maybe because their families are friends that's why they are together."
"Well that Nerd-gangster is rich, it's just not obvious."
I heard the students whispering around me as I walked in.
Their day is not complete when they ignore me.
Well if they can't ignore my prescence, I'm the one who will try to ignore them.
I continue walking until I reach my room, as usual the other students are here enjoying the view while admiring the Matteo's. I wonder why are they in Section C, they should be in the upper section because they are family owner of the School.
It's not that I don't want them to be my classmate, but- yeah definetly I don't want them to be my classmates or even be near them.
I sigh and enter the room, the students who are here look at me before they go away and place theirselves in their respectives classrooms.
Hmmm, afraid that I might shout again?
I smirked before seating at my chair.
Minutes passed and Ahyeza arrived, she put her things in her chair before coming to me to chit-chat, I am not a talkative person, that is obvious to my personality, but my friend is doing everything to make me talk.
The two of us just talked about the activities here at school and how I teased Alexius earlier. Soon our adviser Mr. Pangilinan arrived.
"Class, go back to your proper seats now" he said as soon as he saw that our classmates are not into the right positions.
We don't have a Flag Ceremony today becaose it's thursday, we will just pray and start the class already.
"I have a announcement to make, be quiet." he added
Me and my classmates became quiet and wait for the announcement of Mr. Pangilinan.
"You will have a new classmate "he said before signaling the man outside to enter.
A tall, thin, dark-skinned man entered our classroom.
His eyes are narrow but you can still see what color his eyes are, a blue-eyed man huh?
"Everyone, meet your new classmate" Mr.Pangilinan spoke again
My eyes remained on my new classmate, I no longer understood what my teacher said because I'm just focusing on the guy in front.
The man's eyes wandered around the classroom as if he were looking for something or should I say someone.
When our eyes met, I felt cold as his gaze suddenly sharpened on me. I was nervous for no apparent reason.
I just breathed a sigh of relief as he removed his gaze from me when sir called him.
"Please Introduce yourself young guy"
he smirked before introducing his self.
"My name is Demise Builder"
Demise Buider?
Who is this man?
