Encounter

"Princess wake up you'll be late if you don't move" I heard my brother Wyatt knocking on my door

This is an everyday scenario. I was wide awake last night because after I went home from the mall I finished some of the homework that I need today. I'm not an intelligent person but I can assure them I'm a productive person.

"Are you up? If not I'm telling you Winslet I will drag the hell out of you off that bed" he continued

I thought he went away already. I guess not. I have no choice but to get up already.

"Fine, I'm up okay?" I replied until I heard his footsteps out off my doorway

I should've told him that earlier so that I have a lot more time rolling in my bed.

Today is another typical day in my life. I get up, fix myself, eat breakfast, hear every lecture of my parents at the dining table, and go to school. It's a never-ending cycle. A very boring way to entertain life.

After summoning every spirit for me to be wide awake I went to my bathroom and took a shower. As I went out of the shower room I look at the clock hanging at the side of my television inside my room. And for Pete's sake, I'm running late. Instead of just standing there and waiting for my brothers to shout at me because of being lazy I fixed myself. I took my things and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

"You three I expect that you will be paying attention to your studies more than anything else. We are making you study hard for your future as well. Finishing a year level is an average achievement yet I want you all to receive a medal every year. As for the both of you Wyatt and Warren we expect that we will again go up the stage for your medals. Lastly, Winslet, I don't expect anything from you my dear but please pay more attention to your studies."

Me too Daddy I don't expect anything from myself. I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from crying.

I might be their daughter but they treat me as the black sheep of the family. It hurts. To know that the very person that brought you to this world makes you feel like a total disappointment.

"Dad, will you please stop? What are you just gonna repeat every day?" Warren said

For the same reason, they're always there to save me. I can't make myself say anything.

"Well Warren why don't you tell that to your sister if she is tired of hearing this stuffs all over again"

Do you know the feeling that the more pressure they put on you the more you cannot meet their standard?

Before Wyatt could even speak up again I already said something to stop that "It's okay Wyatt. Daddy is right I won't make it anywhere when I can't even achieve something." I told Wyatt but when I look at his eyes I can see the worried expression of his yet I smiled at him.

After breakfast, I just cleaned my teeth, and then Warren, Wyatt, and I went off to school

While in the car they broke the silence. Warren who's in the passenger seat leaned back to see me. I looked at him as well while raising an eyebrow. Giving him a questioned look.

"You shouldn't force yourself, princess," he said while having a glint of sadness in his eyes

"Bro don't worry about me. It's just a simple obstacle. I can handle this. Besides how can I improve myself when simple words from Daddy can already make me cry?"

"Come on Winslet I know you're hurting and for Pete's sake, you're still young Winslet. Not everybody has the same way to mend their problems. As much as possible just be yourself. The time will come whether it is intentional or not you will change yourself for them. And don't talk to me about a scenario that is still not happening soon you will grow out. So please be happy. Choose happiness, Winslet." I didn't say anything because he already called me by my name meaning he's serious. I just busied myself with the scenery outside.

As usual, went we parked the car girls flocked us already. Just like other boys Warren and Wyatt play with girls yes they have the knowledge but yeah like the others their pathetic when it comes to girls. They use girls to like their clothes. Every day they have different girls. And I always pray to God that I will not end up like them.

"Princess we'll wait for you later okay? You'll come with us on our way home" Warren said

"Yeah alright alright" and then I went to my room

When I went inside I already saw Taya my best friend she waved at me so I waved back too as I walk to my chair beside the window

"Good morning Miss No Boyfriend Since Birth" the slap of reality early in the morning

"Good morning Miss That Had So Many Boyfriends Since Who Knows When" this girl is the typical social butterfly. She had so many boyfriends in her past that I don't even know if she was serious with or it's the other way around.

As she laughed she answered me "All I can say is that I use my face very wisely. Proven and tested a lot of boys want me. What about you sis? NBSB? Really? Are you sure? If that's what you are doing to your face then let me exchange it with mine so I can take care of it." she joked

I was about to talk to her more when our homeroom professor arrived

"Good morning class," Miss dela Mehna said as she stood in front of the class

"Good morning as well Miss dela Mehna" we responded

"Indeed it is a good morning. Well, then I will not go to circles anymore for our announcement today. I know it is too sudden but you have a new classmate. A transferee from another school. You must be wondering why at this time of your year?"

"There was a lot of problems stated by his parents yet they managed to transfer him and also it's a personal reason so bear with okay?" she asked again we all nodded our head as a yes

Of course, we're curious we are already at our moving up a year. Our 4th year and we just finished our 1st quarter for this year. So why transfer now?

"Well then Mr. Nilsson you can come in and please introduce yourself to us." we're all curious who is this Mr. Nilsson

Then my questions were being answered when a familiar man entered the room. A man whom I did not expect to ever meet again.

All the girls screamed as loud as they can when Warrick entered the classroom I can't blame them because I saw again this Greek God-looking man.

He stood in front of the class while eyeing every single one inside the room.

"Introduce yourself, Mr. Nilsson," Ms. dela Mehna said

He just stared at each and every one of us like he's looking for something or someone and then our eyes met.

He locked his eyes on mine while talking.

"I'm Warrick Aiden Nilsson but you can call me Warrick instead. My hobbies are girls, girls, and girls. And yeah sports and girls again." certified playboy huh? Nevertheless what he said the girls inside the room screamed again. I kept my poker face until then. Drop-dead handsome yet a walking red flag himself.

"Okay that's enough you can have them sit at the back of Ms. Haven, Ms. Haven can you please raise your hand so that Mr. Nilsson knows where to sit" I did not expect that but still I raised my hand for me to help him find his seat

When I raised my hand Warrick walked beside my chair and I felt like I shrunk when he stopped midway and offered me his hand

"Warrick" introduced himself again. Does he think that I didn't hear him saying that earlier?

"I know you just introduced yourself in front of the class earlier? Anyway Winslet" as I said that screams started hovering inside the room

"Well then you have a pretty name it suits you. By the way, you look beautiful today compared to the first time I saw you" and left my hand hanging as he went to his seat

I was left dumbfounded by what he said. Excuse me? The audacity of this man! I'm always beautiful for his information!

I caught him smirking at me just like the first time I saw him

"Ms. Haven you can actually have your sit," Ms. dela Mehna said and then my classmates laughed at me

"Yes Ma'am" I replied while sitting

"Girl you're too obvious HAHAHAHA chill," Taya said

"I'm not!" I told her

"Oh really? Is that why your face is as red as a tomato?" she laughed

I took my mirror out of my bag to check if what she's telling is true. I was so close to pulling her hair when I saw nothing on my face and Taya just laughed at me.

After that I just rested my chin at my palm while looking at the windows I'm here to study and become one with the Elites not to be distracted with just a boy.

It's not a mistake but in the eyes of them, I'm the black sheep of the family. And I hate to say this but Warren is right. I would change myself for them to accept me.
