"Here's your order ma'am." The waitress got my attention so I quickly moved my things to the side of the table so she can place my coffee. I did sip some but I couldn't continue it, the coffee's still hot. Because of that, I continued drawing on my tablet. I paused when I heard someone call my name.
"Xera!" My auntie. "Look at you!" She hugged me. She's the owner of this café, I expect to see her here. "I heard you're the new owner of the school! That's glad to hear!" I thanked her, humbly. I don't want this conversation to be long, it'll be boring.
"Auntie, I'm sorry but I have to go, I'm running some errands today." I lied. I have nothing to do, that's why I'm here; and plus, it's Sunday. She said 'ok' so I tidied up my things so I can go. I just drank my coffee, and went home to my condo.
I'm in my bed, scrolling through my instagram, when suddenly, Mom called. [Sweetie, how's Sunday?] She always calls me, everyday just to ask how's my day. I understand, it's sweet, but she doesn't need to ask everyday! She knows I'll be fine.
"Good, Ma." I thought she just called to ask how's my day, as usual, but..
[Can I ask you a favor?] I said 'okay' so she continued. [You know the 'bad student' issue right?]
"Yes, the one student who bullies teachers?" I furrowed my brows, I hate hearing about that issue, it makes my head hurts.
[Yes, about that, another teacher resigned because of this. Is it okay if you teach again? In just a short period of time, you can resign again if we found a new teacher.]
What the- I don't want to. I was about to decline but my Mom spoke again. [Please sweetie? I worked hard to build this university, I don't want it to be ruined just because of this. Please?]
I sighed. It's my Mom asking the favor, I can't stand to say 'no'. "Okay Ma, But I'll be resigning as soon as I find someone to replace me okay?" She said 'yes' and a sincere 'thank you' before ending the call.
After a few minutes, my doorbell rang. Can't I have my time to rest?! I looked at the door's peephole and saw Kia, my secretary. I opened it and she just walked in, without even greeting me. The clothes she's holding got my attention so I asked what is it.
"Ma'am this is the JHS(Junior High School) teacher uniform, this is the one you'll be wearing tomorrow, on your first day."
"What?! Tomorrow already?!" I was confused, my Mom just told me a few minutes ago and now she's saying tomorrow is my first day?!
"Yes ma'am. No need to panic, I got all your things ready. All you got to do is to print a resume so we can pass it."
"To whom will we pass it?" I grinned, I am the one who accepts resumes so to whom will I pass it?
"To the..." She smiled and looked away. She looked back at me scratching her head.
"I, I just found out you don't need a resume!" we laughed and she continued to explain what I need to wear ang to do for tomorrow.
After I understood everything, she said goodbye and went home. She said the class will be starting at exactly 7am so I need to wake up as early as possible. I guess it's time to sleep.
The next day, I woke up around 5am so I have plenty of time to get ready. I wore the EEU teachers' uniform, stockings, heels, and jewelries. I tied my hair to a ponytail so I'll look neat. After getting myself done, I called my driver to fetch me. He did and now, I'm in my school.
I went to my office, the President's office. Kia was already there, organizing the files I'm going to put on my new table in the Faculty room.
I went to the other building and went straight to the classroom of the 10th grade. I'll be teaching the English subject and will be their adviser as well. After I walked in the front door, the students stood up and greeted 'Good Morning' except from one. The student. Yes, I mean THE student. The one who bullies the teachers. It's his fault I'm here.
"Mr. Dela Cuesta, why didn't you greet?" I walked to this student and crossed my arms.
He looked up to me and leaned to his chair. "'Morning ma'am, glad you know me."
I scoffed. "How couldn't I?" I fake smiled at him and went back to the front.
"Too bad I don't know you." He, again said.
"Oh, to all of you, incase you still don't know me, I am Miss Melantha Xera Clavienta. Call me Ma'am or Miss Xera for short." I said while writing my name on the board.
"C-Clavienta?!" Said the student infront so I looked at her and raised my brows.
"Yes, Clavienta. Any problem with my family name?"
"But, But Miss, How are you related to the owner of this school?" After she said that, the students started to murmur and whisper.
"I am the owner of this school." Their eyes got big and suddenly looked away. Gladly, it went quiet.
For the day, that student didn't do anything inappropriate, he's actually in a good behavior to day huh.
After I went home, I quickly took of my shoes and just collapsed on my bed. It was a tiring day, I need to rest. After I took a shower and changed to my pajamas, I posted on the school's Facebook page that we accept appliers as of tomorrow. Gladly, someone messaged. I looked at the notification.
Javeon Zavalla: Good evening, can I ask for details about the offered job please?
J-Javeon?!
He's. My. Ex.
