CALESIE'S POINT OF VIEW(POV)
I am now near the University's gate still finding a way to escape through the guards, I forgot about them, the University has a curfew and it's 6:00 Pm,
Why is this happening to me? How can I forget about the important part, What am I gonna do?
"Calesie!" Someone called behind me but only in a low tone of voice, I turned around to see who just called me,
"Aldrin?! What are you doing here?"
"Well, I was on my way to wait for you because I wanted to give you something but then I saw you hiding here, What's wrong?"
"I forgot about the guards, 6:00 is the curfew so I can't leave, How am I gonna pass through them?"
I looked at the guards laughing while talking to each other,
"Well, How about this, I will distract them and if they are distracted you will escape quietly,"
That's a great plan,
"Okay,"
Aldrin went to where the gate is while tiptoeing, I hope the plan works
"HEY!!! GUARDS!!!" Aldrin shouted, because of that shout the guards looked at where Aldrin is,
"HEY, YOU CAN'T LEAVE!" Yes! The guards have been successfully distracted, I have to go quietly, just like Aldrin said,
just like what Aldrin did, I tiptoed leaving the University, I looked at where Aldrin and the guards are and they seem to be in nice talk now, I wonder what they are talking about?
I successfully went outside without getting spotted by the guards, I went to the walls just beside of the guardhouse, then looked at them again, Aldrin is now waving his hands to the guards so that must mean he's leaving, He must have seen me successfully left the university,
"Thank you, Aldrin," I quietly said, I have to at least thank him even though he can't hear me right now,
I checked the time, it was 5:45 in the afternoon, I have to hurry or else I will be late,
I looked at the university again, I felt bad for breaking the rules,
"I'm sorry Dean, I have a good reason for this, Please forgive me," I whispered while bowing continuously just beside of the guardhouse,
I felt a little better from the guilt,
I was about to finally leave but when I turned around.....
"What are you doing here outside?!!!" He shouted, He's too loud, I covered his mouth and then dragged him with me...
"Sshhhh...." I said while my index finger is touching my mouth, I checked if the guards heard him,
Lucky me, they didn't
"What are you doing here?!!!!!" I covered his mouth again because he's loud... Why can't he get me?
"Don't touch me!!!" He shouted then removed my hand covering his mouth
"You are acting suspiciously here, I will report you to the guards," He was about to start walking but I stopped him by blocking him with both of my arms are slightly raised,
"Artreus.....Please don't report me to the guards" I begged him...
"Why would I not report you to the guards, It's almost 6:00 and 6:00 is the curfew, you also annoyed me when you touched me even though I already warned you to not to touch me," He complained
Well, that's true but...
"You did tell me to not to touch you but you are so loud you are gonna get me caught,"
"I don't care about your reason, I am going to tell the guards anyway", He pushed me away from the road, he's going to go to the guards,
Oh no!
I grabbed his hand with both of my hand then gathered up all of my strength to stop him,
"Please don't tell the guards, I have a good reason," I begged while still holding into his hand,
"I SAID DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" He shouted
"WHO IS THERE!!!??" I heard the guard shouted
"Oh no, This is bad," I said, I looked at Artreus and he just smirked at me,
"This is good..... I can tell them that the pink-haired girl is breaking the school's rule" He was about to left me and so I have no choice,
I grabbed his hand again but this time I run while pulling him... I know he doesn't like to be touched but I have no choice because he will get me in trouble,
I have to go to work,
While running, I have a question forming into my mind, He's stronger than me but....
Why isn't he letting go of me? he's like allowing me to pull him,
After minutes of running, I..... I mean we finally arrived at the convenience store, well, almost, since the convenience store is just in front of me, I have to cross the road because it's on the other side, I checked the time, Good, it's only 6:50 so I still have time to wait for the traffic light to be red.....
So EXHAUSTED!!!
I looked at him, he looks so tired too, Now I felt bad again,
"I am so sorry for dragging you all the way here... it's just that, I have no choice," I apologized then bowed once to show him that I'm sincere,
He looked so angry at me
"Why did you do that? I said not to touch me"
"I am so sorry... like I said I don't have a choice"
He stronger than me he could have let go of me, but Why didn't he do it?
"Why are we here?" He's angry at me but now he's curious why we are here? Can someone please explain,
"I am going to work... I got a job today and this is my first day"
"I knew it.....you are just like the other girl..... Do you like working here? Do you even respect yourself?" He angrily asked while pointing at the building that's in front of us, The building says " SEXY BAR", that's the bar that Jairo was talking about earlier, Uhmmm... okay? But.....
What's a bar?
"If you don't like me that much then you could have just let go when I was dragging you here, You are much stronger than me," I asked, did he just misunderstand me?
"do you know why?"
"Why?"
"I wanted to witness with my own eyes the reason why you are so eager to leave the university even though it's past the curfew, Now that I know your reason, do you know what I think about you?" He asked coming towards me,
"What?"
"You're pathetic," He said, and then he left....What is his problem?... I don't have time for him, but what if he reports me to the guards..... I have to think about that later, for now, I still have to work, I need money,
The traffic lights became red, I crossed the road and then went straight to the convenience store, I opened the door and saw Asha inside the counter,
"Welcome Calesie I thought you are not going to make it," Asha said
"Sorry Asha, I have a little problem on the way," I apologized
"Its okay Calesie here is your apron, don't lose that okay? It's like your uniform here...." Asha said while giving me the apron,
"Come with me, I will teach you everything that I know,"
I followed Asha while she's explaining to me everything, She was a little girl but she knows this kind of work so I have to listen to her,
She taught me about everything I need to know about my job, What I should do and What I shouldn't do,
after minutes of Asha explaining things around the convenience store, We are finally finished, she's a good teacher by the way,
"Are you going to be okay Calesie?" Asha asked,
"Yes, I will do my beat for tonight Asha,"
"Okay, I am going to go to my room, it's just on the side of Jairo's room, so if you need me and if you have any questions just call me there,"
"Okay, I will," Asha left and then entered her room, I hope she sleeps well for tonight,
I put the apron on, then went to the counter, I patiently waited for my first customer,
*1 HOUR LATER*
"Here miss," the customer said while giving me the product that she wanted to buy, She's my first customer by the way,
I scanned the product, then saw the prize on the monitor
"It's 2500 Won Ma'am," I politely said,
"Here," The lady gave me 2500 won, I put the products on the paper bag, gave it to her while smiling,
"Thanks for coming," I said, the lady smiled at me and then she left, What a nice lady,
I waited for my next customer, I think the person in this job has to have a lot of patience,
After 10 minutes my second customer has entered the convenience store,
He went to the counter with his products and was waiting for me to scan it all,
"WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW MISS??!!!" the man shouted at me, why did this happen? the monitor suddenly broke, it's not working anymore, I can't scan the product without the monitor, what am I gonna do?!
"I am sorry sir, The machine broke, " I apologized
"Don't blame your poor service into the innocent machine!!!" The man looks so drunk,
"I am sorry sir," I apologized,
"Now what?!!! You are just gonna stand there?!!! fix the machine!!!!", He shouted, I tried fixing the monitor but I can't what is wrong with this?
"You are wasting my time!!!!! You are making me angry!!!!"
I wanted to tell Asha but I can't leave the counter....
"I am sir....." I apologized again,
I thought everything will be fine because The drunk old man has suddenly calmed down,
"You know what? Why not make me feel better because of this.... It's your job anyway, It's your job to make us, your customer be satisfied with your services, Come with me let's go to the bar... Let's have some fun,"
"Wha-What?" I was scared because of how he said that to me,
"Just come with me, young lady!"
"Let go of me!!"
The man grabbed my hand and then he dragged me outside of the convenience store, he was about to drag me across the road but I gathered all of my strength to pull my hands off of him...
"Don't....." He didn't get to finish his sentence because I just....
