Chapter 4 - III

Since all the boys are refraining me from doing anything, I'm more eager to do something against her. The more they stop you, the more interested you are in doing it. For how many days, I have been doing my behind the door jobs like profiling. And guess what, she's not the perfect daughter they all been thinking she is. And that's my ace in this game.

I don't call it as revenge but we can call it somewhat as returning what she deserves. I've been investigating for a while already and I found out that she has some dirty works herself. I emphasize the word 'investigating' even though it seems like I'm stalking her 24/7. But I still manage to hook a couple of girls on the way. Back to the topic, I've seen some checks under her name from the school funds inside her locker.  Also, one of the papers she carried the last time we met got left behind giving me the chance to read it. It was a document for an account transfer signed by her. You know what that means? She's stealing our precious school's funds! Yes baby! I'm that smart to figure that out.

Jeanny and I still see each other. And by see each other, that means pissing each other off.

'Hey! long taym nou sey' I greeted her when I saw her passing by one of the halls. She was obviously stunned by my sudden niceness but suddenly changed into the bossy character.

'Aren't you happy to see me?' I pouted.

'Bitch, stay out of my way' she monotonously answered.

But sometimes… she would do her way of pissing me. She would just randomly kick 'me' in front of the boys, or a group of people or the whole school and that ruins my reputation, my manliness.

'Adam, You've spacing out lately' James said as we were walking outside the classroom. Honestly, I've been spacing out. Well, that can be explained.

'I was just… around' I answered darkly. It has been about two weeks since the incident but the whole campus talk about it like it was just yesterday.

'Yah! I know what that smile means, Adam' He said as he spanked my arms playfully hard.

'Ouch… That hurts' I complained and rubbed the opposite arm he hurt.

'If you have bad plans, don't, I tell you. Especially if that includes Jeanny' he warned.

'Like I would be scared' I mumbled.

'Whatever… I have warned you beforehand Adam. Stop before Karma can take its role.'

'Help me, help me. Karma's hear to get me' I mocked and walked away.

What do I plan? Oh, it simple really, I just need to reveal that she's a thief.  How is the question? Now that you mention it. How about I would ship the files to the deans of the university? No, no… that would just cause little damage. How about if I send the evidences to the court of justice? No, still not it… I still need to wait for a long time to have actions. How about I video tape her while stealing? Still a no, she's a clean working girl. Oh! How about I'll post it on every bulletin in school!? Yes, it's not just I who'll know it but the whole school will know it, the whole management, and the whole network! Yes…

The next day…

'Ms. Jeanny Yang has been transferring big amounts of money under her name for the past three months. It was proven that it totaled 534,223 dollars. Also… '

I wrote a three paragraphed paper but they only read the first part. How lame people can be! Plus, the last part is the most important part. 'She even failed to pay one of the students 2,000.50 dollars' but no one seems to notice it!

Slowly, a small crowd is forming and it satisfies me that they read my announcement. Well, except the last part. They can't even reach the second sentence. I shouldn't have wasted my night typing for a cool composition. I should have gone to the bar and hooked some girls but seeing the students' face after reading the anonymous announcement; I'm all happy and excited.

And there came the person I intended to suffer, Jeanny Yang. She was walking with some papers on hand, maybe another dark transaction? Everyone was looking at her as in every one. Obviously, she was quite stunned by the sudden attention she's receiving. People were smiling at her awkwardly. And when she finally pinpoints the cause of everything, she managed her way to walk to the bulletin board. Just like any other students, they just read the first part of the announcement but I love her expression best. She hurriedly ripped the paper and walked away frustratingly.

For a minute or so, I didn't notice that I was laughing so hard that I gained a lot of attention. Imagine, I was the only one laughing, and I was laughing hard like I just saw an amusing act.

'Yah! Adam. Why are you laughing?' I heard a familiar voice.

As I turned around to trace where the voice came from, I saw James and Henry.

'Did you saw her face? She was…' I started but when I realize that they were dead serious 'Sorry' I utterly said.

'Don't tell me you're the one who posted this' James reached the paper up to shove my face.

'Yah! Don't blame everything to me. Can't you see? It was made by anonymous. Is my name anonymous?' I defended and pointed the anonymous word on the paper.

'You don't have any proofs that it was me who made it?' I added but James took grab again the paper and pointed the last sentence.

'No, but I remembered you mentioning about 2,000.50 dollars that she owed you. And wow, what a coincidence that it was also included on this' he said.

'Maybe he's just a good investigator' I alibied by obviously they are not buying it. So I need to defend myself.

'She started it!' I screamed and acted mad to make them feel that I am invincible.

'Adam, you know what? You should stop playing games with girls' Henry wrapped his arm around my neck and dragged me away.

'Oh yeah? Says who? Another playboy like you?' I mocked.

'Well, you got a point there but Adam… we all know Jeanny is not that type of girls we can just… play around. Not because that she's the daughter of a well-respected man but also, she knows what to fight for. She knows her pride and dignity' Henry clarified but what a lame excuse can that be? I just nodded and pretended that I got the whole point.

When class was over, I was walking alone because the guys seem to be disappointed by my so called 'rude' actions. Like duh, I just revealed one of the most corrupt in school. I'm just worried to my school, to their school now I'm the bad guy? Why am I always being the one to blame?

'Yah, Adam' I heard someone called. But the voice is too familiar. I don't want to talk to Jeanny because she's the one who caused my misery for the past weeks.

'Yah!' she shouted and I felt that she grabbed my arm and turned me around.

'Was it you who posted this?' She asked as she raised a hand that was holding one of the copies I posted. I chuckled a bit. Why am I always be the blame?

'Is my name anonymous? You should use your head sometimes' I mocked and turned my back to her.

'Is your name Adam?' She asked that caused me to turn around. And there I saw what was at the back of the paper… 'The indestructible Adam!'  It was one of my scratch papers. Shit.

'maybe he's a die-hard fan' I defended.

''Please, just stop the alibies… Why the heck did you post this? To piss me off?' she screamed but enough not to make a commotion to the environment.

'To piss you off? How low do you think I am? I was just concern to the school. I just want them to know what you have done to the school! That you're a thief! A robber!' I shouted at her trying to emphasize my point.

'I'm a what? What an id—' she said frustratingly but before she can even end her sentence…

'Jeanny!' someone called her. It was the owner of the school. It was Jeanny's dad.

'Dad' She calmly called and walked right in front of him. I was starting to get frightened on what might happen. It's not that I don't want to. This was the reason of all the plans I made, right? To bust Jeanny off the cliff? To place the blame on her this time? But seeing her frightened look in her face cased my conscience to take place.

'What's this?' I heard his father asked as she reached for the paper.

'Dad, I can exp—' She said but fuck my feet jut unconsciously stepped beside her and 'I'm sorry, I was the one who posted this. Don't blame h—' I uttered. Fuck! Why can't I keep my mouth shut for a while!

'Blame? Oh no. Why would I blame her?' He smiled… Like what?

'Y-Your not going to yell at her?' I asked dumbfounded by what was happening… Can't anybody be angry at her? Why is she always the angel in this story?

'Yell? No, please… I'm so proud of our little darling' he smiled and hugged her as she whipped silently in his arms.

What's happening? He's proud that her daughter is a thief? I'm confused like totally confused. If I was to steal even just a penny in my parent's pockets… most likely, they could kill me but heck! This family is different!

'I didn't know you did all this things…' He added sounding so sincere. While they continue the whole drama, I can't contain my feels. It's like, what am I here? What's the plot of this stupid story anyways?

'Cut the crap…' I burst 'You are … proud of her?' I asked.

'Why wouldn't I? She had brought big profit for the school, for your school young lad' he said smiling as they both looked at me.

She both big profit? So… I was… wrong? Dang it!

'I'm sorry if I didn't tell you about this. I was planning to surprise everyone when the festival comes but someone spoiled the fun…' She said obviously indicating to me but all he could reply was a heartfelt nod.

'Who is this lad?' I heard him asked causing him to look at me.

'He's my… boyfriend' Jeanny answered.
