"Amelia!"
I got woke up by that loud voice. It was Kei who woke me up with his own voice.
"Get up! Or we'll be late for school!" he said as he pull me out of my bed. Pushing me towards the bathroom.
Without any room left for an argument, I did not notice that I was already inside the bathroom. I turn the sink's faucet and rinsed my face. I head to the shower and then enjoy the cool-warmed water flowing down from my head down to my foot.
After the refreshing shower, I went down to the dining area where Kei and his father were already seated and waiting for me.
"Good morning father." I greeted and head straight to my seat.
"Good morning Amelia." Father greeted me back and then gave me a wide smile.
We begin to eat breakfast.
"Kei, it seems that you're wearing a uniform today. Bet you'll just wear that for a couple of days then poof! Back to the old Kei, right?"
"W-what d-do you mean of old Kei?"
I didn't answer. I just looked at him for a second, smirked, and then went back to eat my breakfast.
"Don't just make that cunningly smile Amelia, answer my question."
I just sighed. "Fine, I'll tell you later."
He seems so irritated. Kei is nice and playful for sure but he's also a beast if he was mad. So, I looked at father's reaction, but he was just giving us a typical father smile to his children.
After eating, I went back to my room and grabbed my bag and things. I went first inside the car and decided to wait for Kei. After a couple of waiting the brat came at last.
"What the... S-seriously Kei?"
"W-what?!"
"What's with your bag? We're going to school, not in mountains. Why it is so big?"
"I-it was butler George."
- 10 minutes ago -
"Young master, here is your bag. I am so happy that the young master decided to get back at school and now on lady Amelia's school."
"Uhm... George... Are you sure it is my bag for school?"
"Affirmative young master. It is yours."
George smiled brightly and then handed over the big bag to Kei.
"What's with this bag? It's not just big but heavy at the same time."
After talking to George, Kei hurriedly went to the car since it's been a couple of minutes since Amelia was waiting for him.
- Back to the present time -
"Pfft... Hahahahaha!"
"Amelia stop it!"
"I-I'm sorry, I can't help it. It's so funny ha ha ha ha."
Kei pouted like a child and avert his eyes from me. He's embarrassed.
"It's still early, uncle why don't we go to the mall first," I asked the driver.
"If that's your wish, then so be it." The driver starts the engine then we depart from the house.
"Wait, Amelia. I-is that you?!" Kei confusedly asked.
"Of course."
"But it's school time. Why are we going to the mall? Bet you're not a good student after all."
"What are you talking about? Of course, I am. It's just I'm worried about you Kei."
"M-me?!"
"Will you want to be a laughing stock at school? Bringing that big bag of yours right on your first day?"
Right before Kei can answer my question, the car stopped. We arrived at the mall. Kei and I went to a department store to buy a bag.
"Choose your bag."
"Will you buy it for me?"
"Apparently yes, remember, father, froze your card."
Kei chose a bag he wants then we waited for the saleslady to finish the packing.
"Thanks, Amelia."
"No thanks, you'll pay me when father unfreezes your card."
"Fine."
The saleslady arrived after we spoke. We went back to the car and then go to school.
We were caught in traffic and stuck there for almost an hour. Luckily, after we passed that traffic jam. The road seems to be clear and arrived at school on time.
"Amazing! Who would have thought your school was this big!" Kei said with awe.
As we walk, he keeps on babbling to himself.
"By the way, Kei."
"Yes?"
"Behave, okay."
"What do you mean Amelia? I am a good boy tho."
"Well, being here is different from your school, don't be like trash and be nice to all especially..."
"Amelia!" Roxanne greeted me while running happily towards me.
Kei hurriedly hides behind my back and trembling.
"Hmmm... Amelia got a boyfriend?!" Tiffany loudly blurted.
"Amelia! Boyfriend?!" Jake suddenly butted in.
Roxanne, Tiffany, and Jake were staring at Kei intensively.
"A-Amelia, let's go!" Kei shouted, he grabbed my hands and we left. The three froze as we walk farther from them.
"Hahahaha."
"Stop laughing Amelia, it's not funny."
"What do you mean not funny. It's so funny. Hahaha."
Kei pouted and walked briskly.
"Uhmm... Kei... By the way, you can let go of my hand. You're walking too fast."
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said and hurriedly let go of my hand.
"Kei, this is where my classroom is, the teacher's faculty was right beside the counseling room, that one on the left."
"Got it!"
"Last advice Kei, don't be the old Kei okay!" Then I hurriedly enter my classroom.
I heard him shouting, "Amelia, you owe me an explanation! It's the same as you said earlier!"
When I entered the room, Roxanne, Tiffany, and Jake welcomed me with an impatient gaze and they started to speak in unison. "Who's that cute guy?", "Is he your secret lover?", "When did you have a boyfriend without me knowing Amelia?".
Michael slowly approaches us. He stopped the three from blurting random questions at me.
"How can she answer all your questions if you start to speak at the same time?"
"It's okay Michael."
"So, if you mind. Can we all have our seats before our teacher arrives?" Michael asked.
"I think Michael's right. All of you should take your seats."
I nodded for a while then doubt with the familiar voice. I turned around and saw our class adviser smiling at us. We hurriedly head to our designated seats.
"Also you three at the back, get back to your seats please because I have something to announce," the class adviser said.
They head back to their seats also. Everyone is murmuring about what will our teacher's announcement.
"Okay, silence class please. I'll say it straight, we will have another transferee here to your class."
"Ma'am is it a girl?"', "Ma'am is it a boy?" Some curious classmates of mine asked in unison.
"Why don't you see it for yourself. You may come in."
The new student went inside shyly while I was holding back my laughter.
"Y-you! You're Amelia's boyfriend!" Jake said loudly.
The whole class was looking at Jake, me, and the new student. I remained calm on the outside but I really want to laugh out loud seeing Kei at the front feeling so embarrassed.
