Chapter 10 [ another challenge has given ]

We walk and choose our paths by our

own will and choice we make, thinking

if that decision we make can't hurt

someone or we must be selfish for

someone that we need to protect....

forever.

But..what matters now is the path I'll be

walking by the people I might meet and

let them enter in my dark life..

( Cy, you can sleep for a while..if you

want, I can wake you up if we'll arrive

there soon ) my brother said to me while

his focus is on his phone, seriously..is he

really my brother because after I came

out on the hospital his been on his

phone in every minute.

And to add the people who are so

annoying...

_______________________________________

when we arrive at home, and as soon as

I open the door I saw someone who

already knows how to pissed me off...

and that is jake.. following everywhere I

go and even begged his parents to go to

the same school I will be entering this

year.

well of course his parents didn't agree

on it and I was so happy because it

would lessen the stress I will handle..

but when my mom heard about it that's

when things for me got scattered

because when she heard it, she

immediately ask and convince Cain's

parents until in the end..they agreed.

for Jake and Blake they were jumping

with joy like they just won a lottery three

times in a row and for me... well...I just

stayed in silence in the corner thinking

how to manage this two with the same

breed.

Jake walk in front of me and stared me

for a while and mess my hair, I just let

him do what he wants because I was

used to it since when he visits me

everyday at the hospital., ( finally..I can

watch and protect you without any

obstacle course.. meeting you and

seeing you everyday makes me smile )

he said that in me with a serious tone

and a bit of whisper in the last line and

that made me confused.

makes me..., what's the last word?

he smiled at me and stop on messing

my hair, ( Cain, I don't know that you have that boyfriend material.. I've been

finding for a long time. if you want a

marriage of my daughter don't be shy on

direct proposal because I got your back.,) my mom said while patting his shoulders.

and one more thing that really gets on my nerves is my Mom, because in the past she is never like this and always spending her time on shopping but now.. it's quite and far from what I used to see...

[ am I really doing the right thing?...]

_______________________________________

(Cy, hey, where here..) my brother said

then he gets out of the car and try to get

our bags at the back of the car, as they

we're handling those..I myself got out

also in the car but my eyes is just

focusing on the big gate in front of me.

it was big and tall but it's clear to me

already that this place is so old because

the gates has vines and roots of a plants

I don't know...

( it really looks like a haunted mansion

in outside but don't judge the place just

because of its looks...it look like a 200

years old mansion to strangers but it's

a mystery on inside.., I really missed this

place.) Blake said at my back suddenly

while putting his phone on his pocket..I

stared at him for a bit and look again on

the gate, ( it surprise me...I don't know

that there is a place like this..) I said

as the gates open on it's own.

me and my brother walk inside the gate

with our bags, our driver already left

because of a sudden call from my dad

at his office and I know that it's always

like this. we waited in the lobby for a

while and as we were waiting I roamed

my eyes on the place.

it has big spaces and it sure does look

beautiful in inside, there were plants

everywhere and furniture and paintings

the whole place looks like a hotel and

a castle combine.

(sorry to keep you both waiting but can I

call the new student to follow me to the

principals office for some questions..)

the woman with glasses said to us

while holding some paperworks, I stand

up and follow the lady then I noticed

that my brother is not following us but

instead he is courted with a butler with

us bags.

we walk inside immediately as we reach

inside was more elegant than ever, and

in front of me was a middle aged lady

reading some documents looks like she

didn't notice that I arrive. ( mdm, the

new student has arrived..) the woman

said then the other woman who is busy

reading some documents stop and look

at me with serious look and I felt

nervous a little then the woman who is

in my back leave the room, it became

quite.

she put aside the documents she been

handling and I seat on one of the chairs

in the office and wait for her questions

as she look my information on a paper

(so Blake is your older brother.. right?)

she asked, (yes.. your right.) I said as I

hide my nervousness in front of her.

( do you know what I felt as you step in

, in my office? ) she said that made me

gulp, why I'm having a bad feeling about

this..( I felt that your different from

others..not from the attitude but you

have something on your selves, I wish

you'll never do it here in the school or

campus do you understand?) she added

looking at me like she's reading my

expression.

(y-yes..I understand) I said then she look

again on the paper ( you don't have any

problems on your grades and conduct

so we're okay on it for now..so..I will just

advice you on be on your self and don't

buried yourself on the darkness.) she

said.

she continue to ask some questions on

me and we stayed like that for a couple

of minutes..( so that is for now and here

is your locker and room keys don't lose

it because we don't have any duplicate

for that and her is your schedule make

sure to do not skip or escape because

punishment is really on time and one

last thing you're will be tour around the

campus tomorrow, 8:00 am don't be

late..) she said as she gives me the keys

and schedule along with the five uniform

and a p.e uniform.

I put it all in my back pack and noticed

the picture on the table at the back of

madam natalie he is familiar to me..

then madam noticed it to so she put the

picture on the cabin and smiled bitterly

on me (curious?..) she asked and I

nodded (can I asked who is the kid from

the picture?) I said nervously thinking if

she would be mad at me but from she

did not and instead she answer my

question ( that's my son, his named is

Josh clovec..he his also the president

in student council the one who'll tour

you around tomorrow and the person

we've been waiting..).

( his my son but we have a wall in front

of us that symbolize our relationship..

Don't ask what's our relationship

because it's darker than yours that's why

the advice I said to you earlier do it don't

walk on the past path you've been

walking instead make a path on your

own until the end even it's hard...) she

said then someone knocked the door

and enter.

(clovec, can I request a favor to pls

bring this new student on her dorm so

she could relax..) the principal said while

reading again, I look the person who she

mention her son..his quite serious based

on his appearance and has good looks

also.

when we leave the room and walked

I noticed something that I didn't notice

a minute ago he have a scar on the back

of his neck his wearing a scarf but the

scar didn't hide that much..

(stop staring at my back..and just follow

me.) he said and I did we stayed like

that until we reached my dorm I thank

him and he just leave without saying

anything.

what a weirdo...

I enter the room that I will be staying

in a year here the room is big and it

looks like my old room so I was glad on

it my stuff are also here and a sticky

note on the table...I picked it up and

read.

way when our dad said that I would be

transferring to the same school as my

brother..

( they have different potential and I feel

it and I also feel that this year would be

different.)
