Chapter 3 - More trouble

Shouza DIARY

After Touko Arkada was taken care of in the hospital, I immediately left the hospital, and went back to school, since my bike broke on the way, I asked dad to drop me off school, but not dad, but one of his workers, Sir Alex.

"Thanks for taking me to school, Sir Alex." I gladly said.

I sat behind the car since I'm scared to be in front of a car, I know I use my bike and motorbike but car still scares me.

"It's no problem, my job is to guard you at all costs though, but not to be seen by anyone is what your father asked me." He explained.

"Yes, I know I know, when will dad return back from Nachi Country?" I asked since he was about to leave to fly there when he left the hospital.

I kinda keep tabs of all the schedule my dad have from Sir Alex since I don't want to be out of the loop by what my dad's doing.

Alex is pretty versatile, he guards me and work as dad's secretary.

"I think your dad told me a earlier ago that he will be back next week of Monday." He said as he drives.

"Well that's good, there's a parent-teacher meeting in Tuesday the next week, I'm wish]ng he'd come, but I'm not hoping he would since he's too busy, maybe I'll just ask Nami to do it." Nami is the Maid that stays at my house.

Since Nami's job in my house is only 3 hours per day, as my dad wanted me to be a bit more responsible so he only gave my maid 3 hours of work at the house.

He even told me that he will fire Nani around after I turned 18, which is scary since even now, she's still here, and have no idea when she will be gone.

But Dad told me that he will only change her work not really fire her so it's good and all.

"We are here Ma'am." Sir Alex informed me.

"Thanks Sir Alex, go back safe."

"And you go home straight."

That's what we always say to each other everytime we say goodbye, it started a week ago.

Goodbye is overrated so we don't use that.

I entered the school gate and first thing I got is.

"Ms. Theodore, you are 2 hours late, where have you been." They know me since my dad is popular around here.

"I'm very sorry, Ma'am, I got into an accident along the way here and I have to deal with it."

She walked along with me on the way to my homeroom class

"Seriously, how can a daughter of the popular Theodore be on an accident, let's get you in your class, I'm you're next teacher in 3rd period so I'll be ready with you as well."

I think she's a guidance counselor, that makes sense since she's in the gate wearing a PE Uniform.

I arrived at my homeroom, and there's still 10 minutes left before 3rd period, so my 2nd period teacher, Sir Sam, asked me to introduce myself to the class.

"Ms. Theodore, go introduce yourself to your classmates."

"Yes, sir." Even though I'm known around here.

"Hello, I'm Shouza Theodore, I'm the daughter of Shouta Theodore."

And the class just stared at me, it's like they're just like acting like they don't know who my dad is.

I mean dad's popular right?

"I meant to say this Ms. Theodore, but most of the students here don't know your dad is, all of the students here are mostly foreign transfers." Sir Sam whispered to me.

"What!" I just shouted and confronted all the students.

"You don't know my Dad? He's the famous Director of Theo Fashion Company!"

And then all the students are like...

"Huh?"

"Theo is a Fashion Company?"

"I thought it was a TV show?"

"What is Theo Company, anyways?"

"And here I thought she's a famous daughter of the president, too bad."

No way! they don't know me and dad? That's impossible! They must've at least heard of Theo?

"But Theo is popular worldwide?" I said.

"But miss Shouza, most of us came from a private school in the far West, our school there is private and secluded so we don't know much about this place, since our school there was shut down, we all have to transfer here, since this is one of the school that are partnered with our school, Rica Middle School." One of the student from the back told me as she raised her hand.

"That's enough, since Ms. Theodore here is late for almost, 45 minutes, Jesus, you even missed his lecture? Let's just wrap up for today, and wait for your 3rd period, Miss Bea, everyone stay seated, Ms. Theodore your seat is in C-4, there on the left." Sir Sam pointed out.

The students laughed at the 45 minutes late, but I got into an accident! That's not a laughing matter, as I thought to myself.

My seat was one seat away from the left wall, I wish I was on the side.

I went to sit down on my seat, then put my things underneath the table and took out a notebook and pen.

When Sir Sam left, I took out my phone and browse through all my feed on my Bookface.

"Hey, Theodore, can I talk to you?" The guy on my right said.

"You are already talking?" I said.

"Oh come one don't be like that, BTW, I know Theo Company are." After he said that.

"Then why didn't you respond?" I asked angrily.

What is this guys problem? I'm embarrassed enough in front of the class students, he could've said something.

"It's just that almost everyone here doesn't know who your dad is, so I kind of don't want to break the mood." He whispered.

"Oh, yeah." I insulted.

"Listen, I know Theo, the biggest fashion company, but I don't know that your dad, Shouta Theodore is the director, all I know about that name is that he's a make up artist." He explained further by whispering.

"He is a make-up artist, and also the director, if that's all you have to say, then just leave me alone, I'm ashamed enough as it is." I said as I kept scrolling down on my feed.

"Ashamed that no one knows who you are?"

"No, I'm ashamed since this students aren't influenced, and I'm the only who does."

"Me too, you know."

I ignored this guy afterwards, then our 3rd period teacher entered the room, and it's the guidance counselor.

"So, I heard Ms. Theodore bragged about his dad being famous?" Ms. Bea teased.

'HAHAHAHAHAHA!!'

What's so funny about that? Are they stupid? I thought.

"Listen Ms. Theodore, I'm not really insulting you and your dad, it's just that, mostly 85% of all the students this year transfered from the private school far from the west, Rica Middle School, and all the students in that school have their own dorm, even though their young, they have to stay in dorms to gain experience being adult at a young age, and to prepare them for the future, that's their school's moral." She explained.

"That's just an excuse." I whispered to myself.

"And since your father have his own work name, his real name is not known around, only the country of Sanip know him, since this is his birth city."

"Work name?" I asked confused.

I though back then, why would dad make a work name? He is still exposing his face to everyone anyways, so what's the point? Plus he's not an author to have work name or a pen name.

I guess I wasn't old enough to know why.

"You don't know his work name? It's Oni." Ms. Bea said.

Oni? Why that? Is he a Ogre?

"Oni?!!"

"You're the daughter of the Oni?!!"

"That's impossible!!"

"You can't be, you're way too off to him!!"

I was like, what's wrong now?!!

"Oni, or as you acclaimed, your father, is one of the founder of our school." The girl from the back again said.

Acclaimed?!

"I didn't acclaimed that he is my father! He really is my father!" I shouted justifying my words.

"Then if it's true, then take him here, in the parent-teacher meeting next week." The girl said.

"Then can I know your name?" I asked.

"I'm Saika Winston, I'm the daughter and the heiress of Winston Book Company in the Old York, Acirema, far west of this world." Saika preached with her high voice.

She's an heiress, same as me, but she's starting to get on my nerves, I was hoping to make friends right after I told who my father is, but my luck isn't with me this day.

"Winston? I know that's a cigarette." I insulted back.

"How dare you!?" She shouted, then tried to get close to me.

Maybe to slap me or something.

"Alright, thats enough kids, go back from your seat." Ms. Bea scolded.

"Ms. Theodore, isn't that a bit too far?" Ms. Bea asked.

"They and you insulted me too, thats just making us even." I said.

"Well, either way, that's gonna reach your father, let's start our class." She changed the subject instantly.

"What!?" I shouted after hearing the first line she said there.

I'm screwed, I shouldn't have done that, I thought.

Well, all I need to do now is to ask dad to go here, considering if he founds out I had a fight in the first day.

'Ding Ding!!'

The bell rang, it means class's over, we have four classes today, every Monday.

That's, Homeroom, Science, PE, considering we just lectured, thank God, we didn't exercise or something, and English.

That's a way to end a day, luckily no more incident afterwards that day.

I've got into an accident involving a girl breaking her right arm, I'm late thanks to that, it's my fault anyways, and no other students in school knows who I am, they know my dad, but not me as his daughter.

And to top it off, I have to bring dad here at the parent-teacher's meeting.

It's frustrating since I have low chance for that to happen!!

"Hey Theodore!" I heard from my behind, it sounds like it's the girl, Saika Winston, Damn it, what now?

"Ms. Winston." I said as I turn back to her.

"Don't you miss me, I'm barely older, I just turned 15, and you felt like 16 since your attitude is high at class."

"High? Listen up, Winston, I didn't meant to be baggy back there, I just thought that all of you know me and my dad, Shouta Theodore, but you call my dad Oni, so I'm not wasting my time talking here, let's just see next week!" I said long to her and left.

"You dare, again!! Arrgh!!" She shouted from the back as walked away.

Alex put my bike in the bike area for me to use later, maybe he had it fixed.

I didn't turn back and just biked my way home.

(More than 3 hours has passed)

I explained to dad what happened and what I need after going home, and...

"Sorry kid, it's not like I'm punishing you after what you did in your first day, but I really can't go back since I'm too busy, I might stay here for almost a week here at Nachi Country, and there might have more stacked workload that I need to do when I get back there so I'll be too busy, just ask Nami to go okay, sorry honey bear, love you." Dad hang up on the phone after that.

I was so out of it that I thought to myself.

What now?
