Chapter 3 Best Friend

--Inside the house—

After the rest of the Family woke up, Maria and Josief went back inside and had breakfast together.

Josiefs parents are Jake Allen and Karina Lee and are middle aged people. Jake works as a taxi driver and a marketer. While as Karina Lee as a secretary at big company.

"Son! Can you go and pick your sister, Sara and Ruth after school today? Me and your father have a meeting with your brothers teacher. " mom said while looking pleading at Josief

"Sure, but Mother.. i..need money to..buy somethings on the way back...home" Josief answered while he was gobbling up the pancakes.

"Oh! How much money are you asking for?" she said with a concerned look

"I need about 1000 Yuan. it's for something important" Josief said while looking straight at his mother.

"I need to get stronger before those bastards come here and fight, and to that i will need refining meridian pill and a medical bath." was what Josief thought

"Okey! I can give you the money but, if i find buying more of those manga i will beat you, YOUNG MAN!!" she said with scary face.

Josief wanted to protest against her, that manga and anime wasn't bad, but he knew if he went against her, he would be dead the next second. So the only thing he could do was looked the other way and whined silently to himself.

When Josief and Maria were finished eating, they went out to school. They didn't live far away from the school so Josief and Maria usually walked to school.

On the way Josief asked about any tests he would have and Maria told him on Thursday. The reason for this is that Josief is a known genius in his school. So he got different tests which were much harder.

Maria is his childhood friend so she helped him remember some tests which he forgot.

As the snow slowly falling down, and they were walking to school and having fun.

When day reached the school Josief gave a hug to Maria which scared her a bit as it was sudden, but she calmed down pretty fast and hugged him back. Then they walked to their different classes. Josief was in class 1A and she was in class 1C.

When Josief came to his class and stood in front of the door, he calmed himself and knew what he had to do. Then he opened the door with power and made everyone inside the class look straight at him.

Josief walked slowly to the back right corner of the class to his place, which was besides the windows. He put his bag down, sat calmly down and took up books to read. The books which he read where from the library in Jolly because the school didn't have the books for his studies, so he loaned from the library in the city.

Then he felt a smack on his head, which gave him an angry expression, because he knew who the person beside him was. The person he thought as a best friend, the same one who ended up cheating up on him with Vanessa, Dante Philips.

"Good morning! Jo-!" Dante said nervously smiling while looking at Josiefs angry facial expression.

Josief realized that he had startled Dante, so he tried to relax his expression. Then he turned around and said.

"Good morning, Dante. How was your morning bro?" with a such a kind smile, that no one would have taught was fake.

"Ehh! Yeah it-it was good." Dante said confused. "What was with Josief face right now, he looked so angry and scary." was ran through his mind.

"Oh yeah! Josief after school, let's go someplace." Dante asked looking like he was pleading.

"Right, i had completely forgotten that today, he would ask me and him to hang out on a Underground place. I didn't want to go, but went with. He made me also bet money on a stupid fight that i could afford.

They then began to harass dad and become a big problem for his taxi job. Which made us ask for a loan from other people and ended with dads selling his car, which was vital for his job. It made us live in a poor state for a few years.

This time i will make it up for them and make them live in the rich and good way" Josief said with a determined expression.
