Chapter 4
Eros's Pov
It's been a week since I got discharged from the hospital. I still have a bandage from the back of my head because the wounds are not yet dry. As expected, my parent's didn't even pick me up at the hospital so the maid does it instead. When I got home I was expecting to a worried parent but there's no worried parents appeared. The maid said, they left early for work, of course they're so busy at their precious company.
I'm laying at my bed right now, I'm too lazy to get up and get ready for school. It's Monday today so yea, I have a class. I heard my phone rang, so I took it and immediately answered the call.
"What's the matter dad?" I asked.
"Do you attend your class?" He asked.
I'm never used to every time he's asking me this but I'm pretty sure he just making sure if I go to school for the sake of the company of course. Mom is a grade conscious that why she doesn't want me to have a lower grades but I don't like that, I don't want to think of the pressure and compete with others. I want to study normally, maintaining my grades and doing what I want, though I don't want the course I take, funny right?
"No, but I'll attend later."
"Okay, good to know. Well then, I'll hang up now, I just asked." He said before finally hanging up the call.
After the call and a few hours of laziness, I finally get up and get ready for school. I picked up my black backpack when I'm done. I used my own car that my dad gave me when I turned 18, it's a sedan car. I rarely used this car because I always prefer to ride my motorbike. I just used this car today because my motorbike is on the shop to fix and upgrade it.
I arrived at school late. Well, nothing's new, they are used to it. When I entered my class all my classmates are looking at me. The teacher in the front looked at me too and ask me why I'm late even he's used to this.
"Why are you late Mr. Clarkson?"
"I'm too lazy to attend your class Mr." I answered honestly.
"Nothing's new, I thought your reason will be valid this time. Go to your seat now and listen to my class." He said with a warning tone.
I just shrugged at him and walk straight to my chair. It's boring listening to him, I just don't get it why my classmates are so serious listening to him even we already topic this last week.
I just looked at the window beside my chair the whole time he's teaching at the front while all my classmates are listening to him. After he dismissed our class, I immediately go to the pavilion. My friends are already there.
I saw Louie sitting at right corner of the pavilion while reading his thick book, he's a law student. I looked at Harry, he's busy typing on his laptop. Harry and I have the same course, we both take business but the difference is, Harry love his course while me, I just took this because of my parent's will. Calyx is sitting at the left corner with his new girl. Yes, Calyx changes his girlfriend every hour, some of his girl only last for a day and the he'll broke up with them and find a new one. Such a playboy. Anyway, you all already know that Calyx is an engineering student.
Calyx and his new girl stopped from flirting and looked at me, "Why are u looking at us Eros? Geez, are you jealous?" He said jokingly.
"Nah, jealous your ass."
"Just tell me if you're jealous, I can get u a bunch of girl." He's really proud at himself for having a lot of girl. Tsk, time will come and he will meet his counterpart. A girl who will hurt him too much, I'm so excited to witness that.
"Don't make him look like you. He's allergic to girl, right?" Harry said and they laughed together.
"Yea, he even rejected all his admirers lol. You're like a girl dude." Louie join the conversation.
Calyx whispered something to his girl to make her giggled. After that, the girl finally leaves the pavilion that's why I go inside now and sit at the left corner beside Calyx.
"Oh, yea. Even the most popular girl on our school got rejected." Calyx added.
I just looked at them boredly, "What will I do to those women? Use them as my pass time?" I said annoyingly.
"I don't have a time to hurt those women and I also don't have a time for that stupid love thingy." I added. "It's just a waste of time."
They just shrugged at me.
That's their reaction every time I explain my perspective to love. They don't think it's just a waste of time, they think that love is worth it but I don't think so.
"Anyway, how's your wounds?" Harry asked to lift the topic.
"Hmm, its fine. The doctor said that I need to come back at their hospital next week for the removal."
Harry nodded.
We stayed there till our next subject come. When we heard the bell rang, we go to our classes. Harry and I took the same way to the building where our next subject is while Louie and Calyx took the same way too, their building is just near to each other.
While we're walking, Harry opened a topic.
"So when we graduate, where will you want to work? Will you stay at your parent's company or explore other companies?" He asked.
"Not sure, it depends on what my parents want." I said.
But after I graduate, I want to pursue my dream. I want to be a pilot and travel the world but I know that it will not going to be easy. I'm afraid to disappoint my parents, I want them to be proud at me and if I make them proud that means they will finally notice me.
Since I was a kid I really want to drive an airplane, it feels like it's my home. I see myself being happy while working at my dream job and meet a lot of new people who has the same dream like me. But since my mom wants to pass me the company I pursue what they want. I chased what they want and lose my dream, that is how much I love them. I can lose my dream in order to make them proud at me.
