Girl

It's Saturday morning and I woke up early. Damn. I looked at the clock and it's only five minutes before six. I yawned and stretched my arm for a bit before I went straight to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and used Listerine after.

I looked at my face in the mirror. I look like a zombie with messy hair like I went into battle without a gun. It was also like I was fighting with plastic classmates and vying for a lollipop.

After I did my skin care routine, I took a shower and cleaned myself up. I'm wearing my favorite sexy shorts and a plain white big shirt. I don't put on makeup, like duh, I'm just at home. I only used lip balm to keep my lips in a good state.

Without that, I feel like I'm anemic or maybe I have stage four cancer. I blow dry my hair and then go down.

"It's too early, Kane." Yaya Jessa said.

I smiled at her and went to the table and sit. She cooks our breakfast. She's been working here since I was a kid and I treat here like a mother too. She's kind and I just realized that we seem to talk more often than Mommy. Well, mom is busy as well as my dad. I didn't say anything with that because it's for my own good. They're good to me unlike other parents who are always busy too. Maybe it's really different.

"How are you studying, daughter?" he asked as the fried rice and Toccino were placed on the table.

He's wearing an apron while her hair is in a bun. She's beautiful inside and out. Nanny Jessa is in her Early 40s but I can say that it doesn't seem obvious if you just look at her face.

"Sometimes chill, sometimes war." I laughed. I drink a glass of milk served at the table, probably for me.

He laughed. "That's really how learning is. You have to work hard before you learn. It's like work. You'll be hard pressed from the beginning, and when you give up, you fail." she said in the matter of fact.

I nodded. "But, I don't really get some of my classmates skipping our class and going out to drink or something." I suddenly said.

I remember so many people, not only for my classmates but for somebody I know. She's a girl and she used to skip our class because she has a family problem or whatever. I just don't get it why?

Why do they need to do that instead of pursuing their dream to become a better one. Why are they even more rebellious? Instead of coping with their problems or making their problems to be an inspiration.

And the thoughts of all people have their own differences. We cannot dictate their lives.

Yaya Jessa looked at me with sad face. "Daughter, there are things we don't know. Things you need to do to get rid of the sadness. And what you're saying, maybe they also have in mind to release all the pain or feelings before you recover from that pain.

Her words are so deep and I feel like I still have to dig before I can understand everything she means. I just love her words always, it seems comforting and it seems like the amount I marerealize when we talk. I'm thankful to have her.

She seemed to be my second mother. Counselor on things that sometimes confuse my mind that he tries to understand just to make me clear. I smiled to her.

"Thank you so much for your wonderful words, Yaya Jes. I can't promise to be the best but I'll make sure to apply those words in the future. I always love your words despite their deep meaning. It's meaningful and golden to me." I stood up to hug her. I couldn't help but cry in this situation.

He laughed before I let go. He looked at me before smiling and straightening the little strand of my hair. It's sweet.

"I'm just here. I didn't even take care of my children before, so I'll let you know." He smiled bitterly because of that. I smiled bitterly remembering her sweet and sorrow life.

"Thank you." I hugged her for the second time.

I went to school after that. I bring my own car too. Dad allowed me, of course he told me a lot not to run fast and always look at the road. Mommy, on the other hand, didn't want to because she said it was dangerous, and I might just crash.

Well, that's mom with his overreacting mood.

I removed my seatbelt and my shades. The sun hurts my eyes even in the morning so I wear it. I went outside and closed the door but before I stepped forward to walk, I saw someone leaning right on his car.

Black BMW.

I ignored him and walked away immediately. What does he want? I greet him with "Good morning." like duh. Never in my life. I just kept walking when it followed me.

"Hey," I can feel his breath so I walk away immediately.

"What the fuck, are you chasing me?" I said a little bit irritated. I gripped my Chanel bag tightly before she turned her gaze.

He look fresh in the morning. He's super clean and dashing with his complete uniform and his black shoes. I immediately checked to see if he was wearing his rolex watch but that's not what he's wearing now. Maybe he was tired of that one. I looked at his neck and I saw there, his silver cross necklace, as always.

He still looked breathless when I looked at him. "Not really. But if that's what you think, then, why not." he chuckled sexier.

I never spoke to him again and walked away again. I thought he was going to break up but he still managed to follow behind me. I just let him go until my feet brought me to the cafeteria. I went to the empty table and sit.

"Why are you here?" My brows furrowed.

"Just taking my breakfast. What's yours?" he asked. He put his notebook on the table and sat in front of me.

"Are you playing with me? Do you have a crush on me?" I said straightforward to him.

He looked shocked but suddenly his side of lips rose. He chuckled again. Damn. Why does he always do that?

"I don't think so ..." he left immediately to order. I would have done the same when I saw him stop sign and I couldn't do anything because one more thing, I didn't want to eat with him. I'll eat later when he's done. Right.

After how many years of waiting, he also came back to me. No-I mean, he went back to the table with his food. I looked away when I realized he ordered food for two people! What the hell. He arranged the food and he left again. I followed her gaze and saw she bought bottled mineral water.

He caught me looking at him.

He smiled at me but I just rolled my eyes. Whatever.

"Let's eat. You're hungry right?" he said while looking at the food back to me.

"Of course, not. I lost my appetite when I saw you." I cross my arms over my chest.

"You're full because of me. You're welcome." his lips were pursed in a smile.

"Don't be full of yourself. You're not my type." I said getting annoyed.

"Eat your food. I'll find another table so you can eat. I know, you don't want me here so ..." he slid the food near me. He bought me food and now I feel guilty!

He sat at another table so the other girls looked at him. I'm still wondering who will be the first to go to him, maybe sit down. There is a lot of space for him.

Well, I also wouldn't blame him if a lot of women stumbled upon him.

And before those women could get close I immediately moved the table. I bring my food and walked towards him.

The girls in the back noticed that and I even heard what they were talking about. Langford was also surprised at what I did. I just raised my brows.

"Hala, that's James' girlfriend? He's probably just playing with that."

"Duh, James don't do dates and sweet things, as if. Tss."

"Then who's that girl?" question of one.

"Idunno, either. Let it go, James will always be James" sexiest ass "so don't make it a big deal. He hasn't said anything yet. Let's believe when he himself said that, right? Just like what he did to Bijam. "

Who's be Bijam?

"Kane ... sit here. You might faint." he said in a soft tone.

"Thank you." I smiled.

He stiffened because of my sudden smile.
