CHAPTER 2: Start

As my alarm clock rings...

I just woke up for my 4 hours sleep. It's because I must study for our Quizzes for today. As I stretched my arms, my phone beep. Automatically, it gave me a smile in my lips.

"Hey beautiful lady, Good morning" even if I can't see my screen, I know it's Andrei.

"Whatever" I said that as I rolled my eyes, as if he saw it.

"Niko, even if I didn't see your face, I could imagine that you are rolling your eyes at me" he said and laugh at me.

"I don't know what are you talking about Andrei, anyway, are you ready for the exam latet?"

"As if I have a choice. Tss"

This time, I'm laughing at him because I imagine that he's rolling his eyes in a manly way because of the frustration. I know that our quiz today isn't like a common quiz that students have, but actually it's like a bunch of quizes in one examination. You get that? So, I feel what the students feelings about the quiz today.

"I will wait you here in our place" Andrei said.

"Okay" and nod as if he could see it.

After the phone call, I stand up and go to my bathroom to have shower. A cold shower is my aid whenever I'm having a exam. It's because everytime I have a cold shower, my body just relax and after that my mood enlighten and excited to have exam that day. And like this day, today I must have my cold shower and relax a little bit to be ready on our Quiz.

As I turn off the shower and go outside of my bathroom, I ready my clothes that I wear. It's because it's our washday, meaning to say, we're allowed to wear what we like. It's every exam day.

I wore my favorite outfit, a gray over-sized T-shirt and a black and green checkered pencil cut skirt with a snickers. I brush my jet black straight hair and wore a simple make-up in my face. It's because I look pale.

After the routine that I have earlier for myself, I snatch my backpack and go downstairs.

As I go to the kitchen, I saw mom cooking smothing and her boyfriend, tito David sitting in front of the table holding a newspaper and reading it and take a sip to his coffee.

"Niko, let's have breakfast before you go in school" my mom invited me to have breakfast together with Tito David but I refused because I know, Andrei is waiting in our place.

"It's okay mom, I'll eat with Andrei, I am in a hurry because Andrei is waiting in our place" I smiled to my mom and she smiled back. She come infront of me and she stretch her arm to hug me.

"Okay, take care, Understand?" She gave me a hostile look, as if she truly is. I hugged her back and laugh for the look that she has untul now.

"I am serious Nikkola Sancha. Understand? Take care" I smiled and hugged her for the second time.

"I love you momma" as I said that, she stilled, I knew why, it's because it's only the time I said it to her.

"What did you say?" my mom.

"I said....I love you, I love you, I love you" after that I saw a tears came out to her eyes.

"I love you too Niko" She kissed me in tge forehead and I bid my goodbye so that I can go now to Andrei. Our place.

When I'm coming nearly to him. I saw Andrei's bored look and when he saw me, he gave me an excited smile one, as if I so't saw his bored look earlier.

"What took you so long?" He ask

"I have a little talk to my mom, why? Are you waiting for an hour?" I ask

"hour? Nah, it's hours with 's', I came here 2 hours ago" he rolled his eyes like he has a sullen for me.

I laugh at his reaction and came in front of him. Then I hugged him. I felt him stilled and shock for what I've done.

"Don't be like a baby, it's not suits you" I laught out loud and then run to him and he chase me until we're infront of my classroom.

"I will come here and fetch you, okay? Don't be so stubborn. Ace the quiz today. Break a leg Niko" Andrei raise stretched his one arm as if he is a superman. I laugh at him on what he's doing.

"oookay, you too" I continue laughing although I'm now inside of our classroom and then Andrei go now on his designated classroom and section.

"Nikkola" I turn to search who called my name.

And then I saw Mika smiling at me with her friends, Alyana and Ria.

"Yes?" I responded

"Do you mind if I ask you about Andrei?" She ask nervously at me. I don't know why but I have a feeling that suspected me that maybe I am Andrei's girlfriend.

"What about him?"

"Can I have his number? If it is okay with you?" I saw sincerity in his eyes but why would I do that? I am not Andrei to give his number.

"uhmmm, I don't think if I'm in the position to give his number" I said it and continue urgently.

"Don't get me wrong Mika, but I suggest if you go to Andrei and get his number personally"

"okay, I'll get it, thanks Nikkola" she smiled at me and I smiled back at her.

The ring bells, and our professor came inside the classroom. Our professor, Ms. Vergara face the board in front and write the instructions, after that she distributed the test papers that we need to answer.

As I get my designated test paper, I answer it quickly and focus on the paper. But although I want to focus on the paper, my mind giving me a hard time to why did Mika wants to have Andrei's number.

Why I felt like a pain in my chest...

To be continue...
