Rum's Pov
* Flashback 10 Minutes Earlier
I feel sorry for the other officers. I want to help them but it seems like the professor has a task for me.
It was already time for lunch break. I don't really eat lunch that much, but I think the others do.
I can see from Denver's eyes how he hate being the president so much. So I want to offer my help.
I was told to follow Mr. Delo Santos to the faculty office, He has a task for the whole section.
"Ok Mr. Ocampo this is what you're going to do!" he told me.
He had his own personal space where no can hear or see us. Maybe its a task only officers can know.
"I was planning to have a Buddy system in our classroom. I originally planned to have you paired with your friends, but since you're now the vice president I have to pair you with the president Mr. Clarke." Mr. Delo Santos continued.
So this was it. I thought it was a big thing.
"Is that clear Mr. Ocampo?"
"Yes, Sir. but does everyone know about this sir? I mean does Mr. Clarke know that we're partners?" I asked Him, in a respectful manner.
As the son of the school's Principal, I have to maintain such reputation or else it will also ruin the reputation of my mother.
"hmmmm. I think I've told them already." The professor hesitated
"well, Ok then Mr. Ocampo, Can you make sure to inform him? in case he doesn't know."
"Sure Sir." I replied.
"You may now go, Mr. Ocampo, please don't forget your task. I don't want any failure in my class. in case you don't know." by tone of his voice. he's threatening me.
but he doesn't need to remind me again, I've heard many things about him while staying at my mom's office. (I sometimes go there when I'm bored.)
Anyways, I don't have time to waste since the professor asked me to do something. All I need to do now is find Mr. President. I hope he's not mad at the moment or else I'll die for sure. I kinda notice he hates me.
I went back to the classroom to find him but my other classmates told me he left just a while ago. I think maybe he went to the canteen.
It was easy to track him since he's known from all over the school, he has both fans and haters (which was a lot).
They told me he was with his friends at the canteen. they even told me the exact table number he was sitting and who is he with.
As soon as i saw him at the canteen, I walked to his direction.
I am going to inform him about what the professor told me, and also asked him to be my partner for the buddy system. It was necessary since we are both the President and the assistant of the class.
He looked nervous while facing me, Am i that scary?
Ok..ok.. just say what you want I thought to myself. I'm not good at interacting with other people.
I was wondering why he was just staring at me and not saying anything. For as far as i know this guys is An extrovert (which means easy to have friends). I didnt expect him to be this way.
I have to thank his Friend, was her name Sue?, for punching him on the shoulder that way his soul was back inside his body.
"Oww.. what was that for?" Denver asked. he's cute when he's angry.
"someone is in front of you and you're just staring at him" His Friend Sue explained.
She's right. I've been here for almost 10 minutes but none of us want to start talking. I'm afraid, there is a lot of people watching me right now.
"so, What- what's up?"
as soon as he start talking, my mind went blank. I'm not really a type of person who can interact easily.
"why are you here?" Denver repeated.
Oh come on Rum, everybody needs to have a partner. Ask him to be yours I tried to argue with myself.
I just have to tell him to be my partner.
"Will you be mine?" I hesitated. the crowd started to look at each other.
"what?" Denver asked.
is my statement unclear?
"I said, will you be mine!" I repeated. It took all my courage to say that again.
As soon as I said that. the whole canteen went crazy.
did I say something wrong?

Denver's Pov
I cant stand another problem on the very first day of my second year, so I have to clear this thing.
The canteen was now full of shouting and teasing. will you be mine? what was he thinking?
I dragged Rum to the classroom. thanks to him again I didn't finish my food. I have to know what did he just say.
It was easy for us to find a good spot since we're the new officers. It was easy to say " Everyone get out" and "we have to talk about something important".
and the whole class went out immediately.
"What were you thinking?" I shouted at him. From how my mad I am, my voice can be heard from outside.
"what do you mean?" Rum acted innocent.
"You showed up at the canteen Rum! Saying things like Will you be mine"
"I was just asking you to be my partner for the buddy system." Rum explained.
I know every year Mr. delo Santos Does something interesting to every class. I think " this buddy system" is the thing this year.
"It was an idea from the professor. Since we're the president and the assistant." He continued.
So, after all its Mr. Delo Santos. Why didn't he inform me earlier. What's the use of being his "President" if I'm not the first one to get informed. This Professor is good at ruining lives.
"ok..Fine, but why do you have to say it like that?" I asked. This is another issue people.
I don't care how I act this time, but my head was boiling from anger and frustration. I was Irritated to the situation. I just want a normal year and no one has given it to me yet.
"what do you mean?" is Rum really innocent? or he's just messing with me.
"Ok lets stop here Rum! there's no point having this conversation. You act too innocent, but if I found out it was you. I swear I am going to kill you!" I shouted at him and stormed out of the classroom.
As I walk out of the classroom, The other students stared at me nervously.
It was a good thing, at least they know now not to mess with me. Not to step in my way or else their Schoolyear will also be messy.
I'm done with all of this.
I went back to the canteen, where my friends was still waiting. I have no plan to spend the remaining time here in this campus.
I immediately packed my things I didn't even finish my food.
"Are you Ok?" Timothy asked.
I didn't answer him. Which means I am not ok.
I tried to put an angry face to scare the other people. in case it helps in making the issue lift.
I was very angry I didn't even notice tears went down from my eyes. I don't know what was the exact reason why I was crying, but I'm tired with this shit.
This is the start of my schoolyear. I know it didn't start very well, and it was not what I expected. Because of the stupid people around me.
I didn't know being a college student can be this stressful, especially when it is your priority. The more you avoid it, the more it comes to you.
After a stressful day, I don't know if I'm coming back tomorrow. I don't even know where to go right know, just to avoid this school.
I don't have plans for today, only to avoid this school.
I walked towards the gate and left with anger.
I DIDNT HAVE TIME TO READ THIS. IF THERE IS ANY ERROR IN MY STORY JUST TELL ME OK. FEEL FREE TO COMMENT I WONT BITE.
