I stepped out of the office, closing the door softly behind me. To prove I'm not weak, I must endure this torture. My already tarnished reputation will only worsen. Must I really degrade myself by cleaning a public toilet? I thought to myself. Any other punishment would be preferable!
"Where can I find Mr. Cheng?" I whispered to myself, searching for him. After much searching, I saw him busy and frowning. "Annyeonghaseyo," I greeted him, using my knowledge of Korean from my language lessons with Xavier.
"No need for Korean, I speak little English," Mr. Cheng replied harshly. I wondered what I had said to offend him.
"No, try to get in my good book; you are still a student who is punished and will do their work!," he said after a while, handing me a pick-up tool for collecting trash.
"Thank you; I'll get to work now," I assured him and ran to the school field. As I arrived, I saw a basketball match underway. "Is the match fair?" I thought, noticing Xavier on the court. The entire school was there cheering them on, it was a game between class 12 and 11 . Xavier was leading our set Class 11 and a senior, Ian was leading his set Class 12.
Originally , overall Ian is the school's basket ball team leader while Xavier is next to when this set finally graduates and we become the seniors.
I went behind the bleachers and started cleaning up the trash. "Gosh, Model High and dirt! I saw sorts of trash that got me nauseous." I thought, exhausted after minutes of cleaning.
Just then, I heard a loud cheer and saw Xavier score a point. "That's my love!!" a girl screamed. I frowned, feeling a mix of emotions.
After regaining myself, I clapped cheerfully with a wide smile,hearing praises here and there.
My Xavier is just perfect, he's the only son of Reginald Blackwood the CEO of the biggest Enterprise and company in the state! , His mother , Lilian Blackwood the Goddess of fashion and an actress but now she's planning to retire , Xavier is a Model and an actor plus he sings !, The blackwood family is a large group or should I say extended but the head is Xavier's father , he is the direct heir to Blackwood empire, yeah empire!
There is Blackwood estates , Blackwood filming industry, Blackwood jewelry , Blackwood customized cars, Black wood plastic industry, Blackwood Airport and oh there is Bw ( Blackwood) brand for clothes , shoes and such many more , Xavier models for Bw products which is not as comon as Dior or Chanel yet but maybe very soon it will kick off. And Xavier after college will own all this as next to seat .
Xavier being the heir is risky for him , he had so many death threats and always in danger when we were little cause not all your family care for family relations just money and property .
I felt sad at the thought that his life his always in danger and Xavier being stubborn
"I don't need protection" he says
But he does need it.
The Blackwood family in a whole do have great genes when it comes to looks and Xavier proves it .
I went back to work bending over to pick up a dirt when....
my surrounding turn cold all of a sudden sending shivers down my spine , I looked around and it became blur and I went blank for a second,
But then I realized I was in the middle of the field, frozen and disoriented, my eyes felt heavy and a rain drop fell on my face .
Is it raining?
I looked up but the sky was clear the sun shining, but rain drops still dropped on me slowly,I heard voices clasping together, I was confused.
"What's going on?" I whispered, feeling the field spin around me.
"Get out!!!" the crowd yelled. "What are you doing there!" someone screamed.
The sound I heard were all muffled. Then I heard nothing, only my heart beating fast in a rythm, it was getting colder the tools fell from my hand as I rubbed my hands together , I looked over and everyone was gone , I was alone in the field .... It was empty .
I didn't know when a tear slipped out,. I couldn't move; I was stuck.
Then I felt something warm touch me - an arm around me. I looked up, and his face wasn't clear due to the sun's reflection in my eyes, so I shut them and buried my head in his chest , I couldn't feel the rain drops again . But I could feel his embrace; we both walked together out of the middle of the field to a bench. He sat me down, and I slowly opened my eyes to see him squatting in front of me. The noices was regained , everyone was still there , no sign of rain anywhere , then how did I ?
"Here," Xavier said, handing me a bottle of water. he helped me?
" Kathy!" I heard Ivy's voice
" are you okay?" She stood next to Xavier .
"Not sure " I told her.
Xavier stretched out my hand and put the bottle water in it.
" Take her to the health bay to be sure " he told Ivy she looked at him for a sec , was I hallucinating cause I saw her smirk just now then her face was back to its regular.
" Okay Xavier I'll do just that" she said and he walked away without looking back she helped me up and we both walked to the health bay.
" What an attention seeker " I heard a voice behind me . But I just blocked it out what I'm worried about now is.....
WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED TO ME?!"
