"Welcome to San Sebastian High school" was written in the bold golden print above the school's brown gate.
A smile flickered across my face like a hologram and as I made to walk through the gate, I stumbled my leg on something. I landed on the floor, very hard.
" ouch!!" I groaned as I realized I had hurt my kneel cap. Just then I felt something like mud splashed on me. From the crown of my head to my feet.
Gross!
I quickly looked up to see what just happened. First I saw a car moving slowly into the school compound. The car tire was painted with mud and then I need no one to tell me that this car just splashed mud on me. It has tinted glass so I could barely see who was inside the car. I was expecting the owner of the car to climb down and apologize to me but hell no, it kept moving. I stood up in rage and took a good look at myself. I wasn't only smelling like trash, I sure look like one.
"Hey, you!" I called on top of my voice and I found myself running after the vehicle.
"Hold up you pervert, Didn't you see someone here?" I kept on yelling. I so want to pounce on who ever that person is and rip his/her throat. So Maybe, just maybe the car would stop I chased after it like a lunatic.
It didn't occur to me before nor until car sped off sight.
What was I thinking when I decided to chase after a moving vehicle? I stopped to catch my breath and that was when I noticed the bunch of students gawking at me.
I definitely can't step into my first class With the way I am looking now, I may be that typical crazy bitch but I'm not stupid.
*****
I decided to go to my dad's eatery which was a bad idea I guess. "What's that in your clothes?"
"What result to that fight?"
"When did you even came here?""Why did you came here? Why didn't you go to school"Dad rushed me with questions the moment he had dragged me into the bar.
Let's just say, I hadn't just gotten into a fight, not like I planned for it but I just couldn't help it.
Okay judge this,
minutes ago I had walked into dad's eatery exasperated barely noticing anyone around me.
I accidentally, keyword-Accident> bumped into a customer and in as much as I never wanted to, I apologized but the lady was being a bitch and slapped me.
Great, she slapped my lovely cheeks so I gave her a taste of her own medicine letting out my anger on her.
"Which one do want me to answer first.?" I battled my lashes, putting on an innocent facade. Dad sighed "Ok what happened why are you not in school?"
"Actually I went to school but
someone ruined my day. One sort of a jerk from no where"
"I know you must always have your way of defending yourself," he puffed driving his fingers into his hair. "But must you always get in trouble with everyone?"
"C'mon you didn't even hear me out first" I whined feigning annoyance and dad gave me the go ahead look, his gaze fixed on mine. "Ok how will You explain this, I was on my own when some Reckless driver intentionally splash mud on me" I defended, like it was the truth right?
"How did you know it was intentionally?" Dad make a quote sign for the 'intentionally'
"If What He did was a mistake, then what stop him from coming down and apologize to me?" I rolled my eyes.
"That's not a big deal. You learn to live with people" Dad retired back to the wine glasses he was arranging orderly.
"At least there's no harm in saying sorry" I don't know why I'm dragging this even, when infact dad isn't paying attention to me even. Well who am I kidding?? I know why I'm dragging this, it's the usual I don't ever like being on the wrong. I always make sure I proves my right and not like I'm bragging but I'm mostly on right just like now at least. Dad didn't bother to bicker words with me anymore. I dropped my school stuffs at safe place and
I helped dad to serve his customers while I just save him of the stress of moving about. We really had a long and tedious day at work.
We were both exhausted at the end of the day. I especially because I took the lion share in the work today.
the eatery was closed and so we went home. But not without visiting the grocery to get some stuff. My dad and I have also went to the park for a brief tour.
We pay regular visit to that place at our leisure. According to my dad that was where my mother died. (*)
But the nature of the death remains a mystery to me. I mean how can someone have a car accident in a park isn't that kind of weird??
Next day.
"Stop it, Dad..." I slapped dad hands off me as he had been hitting me since God knows when. Why can't I just sleep to my satisfaction for once?
Did I mention to you that I have a very unique way of sleeping? Like going to bed with my alarm set but waking up to dad's slap? I just glanced at the wall clock and it ticked 7: 45 Am.
"Jeez! I only have 5mins left to prepare for school dad" I immediately flung up and landed on the ground almost spraining my ankle.
"That's right. You have to hurry and don't forget to eat your meal. It's at the dining. I'm off to work. I just came to bid you goodbye" I gave dad a slight hug and he headed towards the door.
Food is ready!!
Wow! One advantage of having a chef for a dad.
"Alright then see you later." I had already flown into the restroom with my toothbrush.
In just 1 hour I was dressed for school.
Yeah I know you may think that one hour is a whole lot of time but Not for me, that's definitely the quickest shower I had ever had.
So I hung my backpack and ran off to the dining.
I stumbled twice at the stares.
All faults and glory to my new pair of big boots.
I didn't even bother to sit down I just hurried over the meal. I saw a bottle of drink on top of the refrigerator . Its content was yellow. It's a juice I guess.
I just thought of drinking it as a substitute for water. So I opened the drink and gulp some down my throat.
I intended to drink out of it and keep the remaining one. But now I just can't resist the urge. I emptied the can and threw it off.
I took a cab to school.
Throughout the long drive, I was battling with my stomach upset. I feel I might fart if care is not taken and the only solution for this now is to get a restroom. Minutes later, I had alighted from the cab even before the cab came to a halt, Almost forgetting to pay the cabman.
Having stepped down from the cab, I held my buttock awkwardly and ran into the school compound. I didn't even glance at my both side I was just looking straight. The school compound was so large and it had numerous buildings. So I was kind of confused about which building to go first.
The only place I know was the staff office because I have once been there before.
There were few students around the school compound carrying out different activities but my presence stoled their attention from what they were doing.
I guess it's probably because I am new. But I don't care, their stare is so annoying.
As I continued wandering around, I mistakenly stepped on something, that was someone's foot.
I had just bumped into someone it was a girl. the books she was holding fell off her hands.
OMG! Not again.
The girl gave me a deadly glare and I immediately said "I'm so sorry"
"You know what, the very word I hate most in this life is that word, sorry" She popped out her Shiny purple eyes Into my face.
"I didn't do it on purpose, right? I am sorry you have to accept it whether you like it or not" I said as calmly as I could as I made to leave.
"Hey wait. Sorry, won't fixed this up okay. Just bend down, Pack these books and take them along with me to my class. That's a pay for what you just did" she smirked acting all bossy and bitchy.
"I can't. Some other time" I just said any rubbish without thinking as I raced off.
I was finally able to locate the restroom with the direction I got from a young student.
There were numerous doors in rows.
wondering which door to take, I just barged into the first door at the right. behold I saw the greatest shock of the year.
I held the door firmly standing at the entrance with my eyes wide open. I felt a sudden shiver running down through my spine.
You know that moment when you've been dampened in ice-cold water?
My world had stopped!
Before me was a Greek God, I am literacy compelled by his sparkling emerald green eyes, his face looks as though he was framed by a different God, he was just beautiful and he was no other than...
"What?? You??" I exclaimed with eyes wide open reminiscing over what I just saw. You know that awkward moment when you just bumped into someone at the toilet doing his business and it's no one else but your crush.
At this moment, I was like crazy I don't even know whether to close the door back.
