"Mom! I'm home!"

"Hi, honey!" She appeared from the living room. "How was your day?" She questioned, eager to know how everything went.

"It was terrific!" I said, not wanting to mention my horrid experiences in 'Professor' Decarlo's lair.

"Aw that's great, dear!" She said, pleased.

"Mom, I'm meeting up with Leah at 5," I said, placing my bag on the counter. "We've got some work to get done,"

"Okay, dear," Mom said.

"Where's Adrian?"

"He's upstairs. Got home couple'a minutes ago,"

Adrian had returned home after selling his apartment few days back. He was changing work stations, so the place he owned wasn't convenient anymore.

Since I needed to move out as well, he was staying at home with us until we found a convenient place with two apartments.

I raced upstairs in search for my 25 year old brother. I knocked on the door of his room, expecting to hear a loud 'WHAT!?,' but instead he muttered, "The door's open,"

I turned the door knob and stepped in. There, I saw him, sprawled on his bed, with his earphones plugged in.

"The Meg is out!" I said, with a huge grin plastered on my face.

"I can't hear you," he said, not making the slightest effort to remove his earphones.

I ran upto him and pulled one of them out. "The Meg is out!!!"

"WHA!?" He sat up straight, almost immediately. "We're going tomorrow," he said.

"Hell Yes!" I cheered.

***

"Damn it! What kind of sorcery is this?" I cursed as I bit the tip of my pencil.

"Chill, bro. It ain't that hard," Leah said, pulling my book towards her. "You just gotta substitute that thing over there and simplify it,"

"Huh? That's 4736.897 divided by 83628!"

"You've gotta do it, hon," She said, shrugging. "That is, if you don't wanna suffer Mr. Decarlo's wrath,"

I shrugged and grabbed my phone, sighing.

"Hey, you think Abby's seriously hitting on him?" I asked Leah, who was taking a sip of her latte.

Setting it aside, she asked, "Hitting on who, now?"

That's our Leah, clueless as ever.

"You know..." I said, hoping she would understand who I was referring to.

"Um..." she said, making a 'I'm-not-sure-what-you're- talking-about' face.

"I mean Antonio!"

"Ah! You should've just said 'Decarlo'!... I don't know," she said, shrugging. "Well, you never know, right?"

"Mm yeah..." I said, looking away.

"Why do you care?" She asked, smirking.

"Wha? Huh? Why are you giving me that look!?" I questioned, totally freaked out by her expression.

"I don't know..." she said, sneakily. "I was just wondering if someone was getting any ideas,"

I made a poker face. "Shut up. I have to get this over with and it's 5.55 already!"

"Mm mm!" She wiggles her eyebrows. "Ooo! Look everybody, Aeliana's blushing!"

"Shut up, Leah!" I said, hiding my face in my palms.

She broke into a fit of laughter. "I knew it!"

"Knew what!?" I almost screamed, enraged.

"Don't worry, honey. Your secret is safe with me," she said, smiling.

"There's no secret! Shut up," I said. "Hey, we're going to the movies tomorrow. Care to join?" I changed the subject.

"The Meg?"

"Oh, yes,"

"Count me in!" She grinned.

***

"Hey, Aeliana!"

I turned around to see Abigail running towards me.

We walked to school together on a daily basis. Well, that was only because we lived in the same neighborhood.

"Morning, Abby!" I said, cheerfully, as she caught upto me.

"Did you do it?" She asked eagerly.

"Umm... if by 'it' you mean sex, then no. If you mean all the sums in the text book, then it's a yes,"

"Ha!? Pff! Sex!?" She burst out laughing.

"Psh! Quit pretending you don't have experience," I teased.

"Shut up! You don't have to point it out!" She said, trying her best to control her laugh. "By the way, Aeliana,"

"Hmm yeah?" I turned my head in her direction. "What is it?"

"I was wondering... Are you a virgin?" She asked, in a completely normal tone.

I was seriously taken aback. Shook!

We were definitely not close enough for her to inquire about such a personal subject.

"What do you think I am?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You're not, right?" She asked, wanting to confirm this matter.

"Is being virgin a bad thing?" I asked, wondering what she was getting at.

"I don't... think... so...?" she muttered.

"Well, to be honest, Abigail, I am," I smiled.

I honestly don't understand why most girls are proud to lose their roots, to a guy who they broke up with the next day... I mean, the relationships that lasted are entirely fine and should definitely continue because girl, he's a keeper!

But I've seen a lot of guys take advantage of girls' innocence! It's not fair at all! It's always the guys who get away and the girls who become the ones to take all the blame!

In my opinion, trust is very important for something like this...

Now Abigail for instance... two weeks in and she's doing all the stuff you can imagine... okay, maybe I’m exaggerating it just a little bit, but still!

How can you trust someone like that, just two weeks after knowing them!?

Ugh!! Whatever... it's not something I should be worried about. If she's happy that way, who am I to object?

"Earth to Aeliana,"

"Thanks, Abby," I mumbled with a straight face. "What would I do without you?"

"Mm hmm!" She said, as we entered the gates of the college premises.

****

"Morning," Mr. Decarlo entered, with his face straight as ever.

I was the first to stand up from my seat. "Good morning, Mr. Decarlo," I said, loud and clear.

Oh my god... Oh. My. GOD!! I swear I saw it! I saw it! I definitely did!

"Leah!" I whispered, nudging her.

"Yeah?" She turned her head towards me, sleepily.

"Did you see that?" I asked, eager to know if my eyes were playing tricks on me.

"See what?"

"Didn't you notice it?" I asked.

"Look, hon. I'm way too sleepy to notice any shit right now," Leah mumbled. "Can't you see that I wasn't properly rebooted this morning? I clearly fell off the bed on the wrong side,"

"Yeah," I said, disappointed. "It's crystal clear,"

"Winslow,"

Here we go again.

"Yes, sir?" I said, politely.

"What makes you think that you are eligible to talk when I'm standing right here, and all the other students are dead silent?"

Whoops.

"I'm... very sorry, sir,"

"Oh, are you now?" He narrowed his eyes. "Have you kept your promise?" He asked, with his arms crossed before his chest.

"I have," I said, and grabbed my answer sheets. I handed them to him, making sure that I used both hands.

He flipped through the pages, eyeing them carefully. "Where's 147?"

"Huh?" I looked up, attempting an innocent face.

What the hell!? I didn't even number the pages! How does he know every little detail by heart!?

My eyes probably looked huge because I felt my eyelids really just... stretching out.

There it was. That look again. I swear... I saw his grim expression soften, for a split second. I was so so sure of it!

"The 147th review... it's missing," he said, and I noticed that his deathly glare had already returned.

"Ah.. yes... that..." I stuttered. "Um..."

"I asked you a question, and I'm expecting a clear answer," he said, his eyes glued on the first sheet.

"That... Mr. D- Decarlo... I... ugh... I couldn't understand... I couldn't really grasp how... it's done," I finished, immediately regretting it.

"Oh," he said in an evidently sarcastic tone, raising his eyebrows.

Shit shit shit! I'm doomed! Now he's gonna say something extremely sarcastic and I'll feel like slitting my throat and sprinkling pepper in it.

"Well," He said, gathering the papers. "Why didn't you just… say so?" He asked, his stony expression fading away only slightly.

"Um?" I looked up at him, once more.

"3p.m; my office,"

    "Come in!" I heard his arrogant voice. I rotated the door knob and stepped in cautiously. I didn't know what I was afraid of. I wasn't sure if it was his death glare or my suspicion that he was secretly a grim reaper or a vampire. What the hell am I thinking? I stood a safe distance away from his desk, with my head turned downwards. Secretly taking a glimpse, I noticed that he was busily scribbling something down. "What are you doing, Winslow?" He snapped in his heavy Spanish accent. "Eh?" My head shot right up. As I looked at him, my eyes widened. Clicking his pen and setting it aside, he focused on me. "I'm assuming that you are fine with listening to my explanation of the 147th problem, while standing?" "I'm fine, sir," I said, trying not to 'interact' with him. "Just sit down, Winslow. I won't eat you," He said, sternly. "Yes, Mr. Decarlo," I gave in, grabbing the chair hastily. Pulling it out, I took a seat extra cautiously and of course, after checking if it had spikes o

    "As usual," he said, tapping his fingers on the desk. "Winslow forgets her assignment," "Sir, I-" "You do not owe me an explanation. I'm not willing to hear you out," he said, grimly and looked up at the class. "Take your books out," I sat down, wondering if I should apologize or just sit and hold on tight. "Anyone else, who has the audacity to show up here without their completed assignments?" Mr. Decarlo looked at the class, raising an eyebrow. The class fell silent. Dead silent. Mr. Decarlo scanned our faces. Every single one. After moving his eyes from one to another continuously, he stopped at Simon. "Simon, my boy!" he said. Simon, who was slouching lazily, shot up straight. Walking upto him, Mr. Decarlo slammed his hand on Simon's back, and wrapped his fingers around the back of his neck. "So are we all done with the project, boy?" "Sir, I-," He stammered. "You what?" "I couldn't complete it, sir," He sighed. "Get up, kid," He stood up, his head tilted downwards. "S

    "...and then he said, 'She isn't my actual crush, you are!' And I was like 'F*** off, loser! I'm not that easy!' And then I blocked him," "Uh huh..." Leah mumbled, tapping her pencil on her desk while contemplating a physics problem, clearly not paying any attention to Abigail. "I mean, what a loser!," "That's enough, Abby," I walked in, laughing. "Your constant complaints will not make the guys here any cooler," "Yooo, Aeliana!" Leah wrapped an arm around me. "Hey, Leah!" I replied, brightly. "How's the day so far?" I asked Abby. "Good! How about yours?" She smiled. "Great! Since we didn't have physics class yet," I mumbled the last part sulkily. "Dude dude dude! What happened yesterday!?" Leah almost screamed, grabbing my shoulders and turning me to face her. "Alright! I'll tell you. Chill!" I said, laughing. "Okay..." I mumbled. "Hurry up!" Abigail pitched in. "Okay okay! It wasn't that big of a deal... I just stepped inside, got threatened, insulted and sent back home,"

    "Tell me what happened," I said as I sat down beside Abigail at class. She wasn't crying anymore, but since she usually wore a lot of makeup, her eyes looked like that of a three hundred year old zombie. "You were right, Aeliana," she muttered, sobbing. "About what?" "Antonio," She said, looking away. I sighed. "Okay, now stop saying his first name out loud and tell me what happened before he decides to show up," I said, impatiently. I was seriously dying to know what happened. "He's mean... he really is," "Just tell me already!" "I went to see him because I had a doubt regarding yesterday's class..." she said. "Okay... and?" "And then," Leah sat down beside me. "He told her to get the f*** out of his office, disappear from his sight and not to stay within a range of 100 kilometers' radius from him," "He said that!?" I said in utter shock. "No he didn't... I was exaggerating," Leah said, shrugging. "Yes, he did!" Abby almost yelled. "How could someone be so insolent!? All

    "No no... that's not a good idea!" Abigail protested. "Look, I don't wanna live the rest of my college life being harassed by that douche!" "Woah! Watch your words, girl! If someone's eavesdropping, we're dead meat," Leah said, not agitated at all. "Leah," I said, grabbing her shoulders. "You think it's fair? It's public humiliation!" "Well, what are you gonna do about it? Tell him he's ugly? Put salt in his coffee?" "No..." I said. "I will confront him," "And do what!?" Abigail almost laughed. "You'll pee your pants! You can't even hold eye contact with him for longer than two seconds," "I thought friends support you no matter what," I said, making a straight face. "Fine! Do it! As long as I don't have wipe your salty tears, I'm fine with anything!" "Wow...real touchy, Leah. Thanks," I said, disappointed. She shrugged and turned to Abigail. "What do you think?" "Maybe it's fair that Li wants to confront him," she replied. "She got picked on during class, more than I ever di

    It's 9.00 a.m and I'm standing at the door of the devil's lair. I swear this day is gonna make the rest of my college life a living hell. He's gonna strangle me... or worse... he'll give me the 'you're-a-waste-of-space' glare! That'll make me wanna strangle myself. What am I even going say!? S***! I didn't rehearse! I started panicking.Oh poop! Now what!? I won't make a strong impression if I go unprepared! "Well, what an unpleasant surprise," F***... I turned around, slowly. I was literally terrified. "Good morning, Mr. Decarlo," "Would have a better one, had you stood next to my door and not in front of it, hence blocking it and preventing me from opening it," he said in a single breath. I let out a breath that I was holding unknowingly. I moved away from the door immediately. "Or if you weren't standing anywhere near my door at all," No no! Don't let his attitude get to you! He pushed the key in and turned the knob, unlocking the door to his office. He stepped inside wit

    8 months prior to present time The lemon cream fish wasn’t as delicious as he had expected it to be. He was rather disappointed. But then again, only few times in a million was he ever satisfied with the food that restaurants served. He would naturally gravitate towards stronger, richer flavors. This didn’t exactly hit the spot. Certainly not like his mother’s legendary paella would. “I heard that Oliver got his appointment at the Herendale Medical Center,” the blonde haired man who sat across him, muttered immediately after swallowing a cherry tomato. “Yeah, he works there now,” Antonio replied as he sipped on the red wine. “It’s what he wanted. He didn’t want to deal with the trouble of moving,”“Fair, I would say.

    "Hello," an unfamiliar voice spoke."Oh! Um hello," Aeliana replied as she glanced at him, smiling nervously.The man was laying down on a sunchair, dressed in a beige short and printed shirt. He held a book in his hand and had a pair of sunglasses over his eyes until a while ago."Do you live here?" he asked, with a small smile secured on his face as his caramel brown orbs glistened through his narrowed eyes."Oh, no actually. I'm here to visit my brother, he isn't in right now though," Aeliana explained as she noticed how the man was clearly wondering what she was doing there. "I actually came up here out of curiosity.

Aeliana looked at her brother in disbelief as she handed him the cable that was safely tucked in her bag until few seconds ago. "Thanks," he said simply, as he gladly wrapped his fingers around the white cable. "I'm leaving," Aeliana said. "I have work to do," "Work?"

    The seconds passing by, felt like hours. When will Mr. Burke stop scribbling on that board? I've had enough organic chemistry for one day. A little bit of physics would be the cherry on top right now. Aeliana stared at the wall clock, impatiently waiting for the long arm to approach '12'. "Why'd they have to switch slots? It's so annoying," Leah muttered to her. "Tell me about it," Aeliana rolled her eyes and let out a heavy sigh. "My brain is only conditioned for dreadful physics early in the morning," "Uh huh," Leah agreed. "I'm a lil' drowsy too," "10 minutes to go," Aeliana mumbled to her friend.
