PATRICE MAURICIO ‘s P.O.V.
Brena and I arranged our belongings. When I finished arranging things, I stood up and looked at the door.
The two students who entered the classroom caught my attention. They are two men. Their faces are attention-grabbing. They were both handsome and had a smooth-faced face.
“We will pick you two up.” Then one handsome man said while laughing He has tanned skin colour and has a towering height. His eyes are beautiful and have long eyelashes.
“Right. Maybe where else do you two go, especially you, Alex.” A tall man said as well. His eyes are narrow. He has white and flawless skin.
The two men approached Alex and Andrew.
Do Andrew and Alex have two more handsome friends?!
Another student from another section, as well as our classmates, approached the four.
The two handsome students who arrived smiled at the students who approached them. Alex entertained the other women, while Andrew was just arranging his belongings and not even one woman noticed.
You are doing it right, Andrew. Ignore them. Ignore all the women who have a crush on you.
“Let’s go to the locker first. I’ll just put my other books and notebooks that we won’t use for this afternoon’s class.”
I looked at Brena. By the way, it’s lunch break. I kind of lost myself when I saw two more handsome ones.
Because of the number of students who entered the classroom, it was difficult for us to get out of the classroom.
“Seriously, the popularity of those four. The four of them are handsome.” I told Brena when we got out of the classroom and were already walking to the locker.
“You’ll be surprised when you see more of their friends,” Brena said as she put the others in her locker.
“Why? Are they as handsome as those four?”
Although I’m annoyed with Antipathetic-arrogant Alex, I can’t deny that he’s handsome, appealing and cute, especially when he’s smiling.
Brena closed her locker after she finished putting her things there.
Brena looked at me. “Yes. The others are even more handsome than those four.” Brena said, laughing.
Brena and I started walking again towards the cafeteria.
“Others? How many are they friends with? Five? Six? Eight?” I ask in curiosity.
I’m just curious that there are even more handsome of those four. Whereas in the previous school I went to, no one was handsome, if there were any, they were just ordinary, unlike the four.
“One.”
I looked at Brena. What does he say? Four of them are handsome.
“They’re one section.” Brena continued.
I nodded. A one section shovel, not just one person.
Arriving at the cafeteria. Here in the cafeteria where the hot dishes were sold, we immediately went to Brenda’s queue.
As Brena and I lined up, I saw two men shouting. Those two look like they are fighting.
I should have asked Brena what happened to the two but, when I looked at her place she was gone.
Where is Brena? Where did that woman go?!
I looked around until I saw Brena, approaching the two men fighting. What will Brena do?
I looked at the two women next to me in line who were whispering. They were talking to Brena, that the two men will need to stop fighting because Brena is coming to them. Why should the other two men be afraid of Brena?
I was caught in my mouth in shock when Brena suddenly knocked down the table of the two men with both of her hands. So, now everyone’s attention is on her.
“Will you two stop or, I will drag you two to the guidance?” Brenna’s voice was calm but threatening.
“Sorry. It will never happen again.” The two men said at once.
Brena just nodded to the two men, then walked away.
As Brena walked back to our place, my jaw was still left in the air in amazement at her. Brena’s rebuke of the two men was amazing. She’s a woman, but she easily disobeyed the two men who were fighting.
“Patrice, a fly or any other insect might enter your mouth.”
It was only then that I returned to my right mind when Brena approached me and spoke to me.
“You’re great, Brena. You’re cool. Especially when you knocked down the table, the two who were fighting suddenly fell silent.”
“That’s nothing.”
“What are you saying that’s nothing? No, that is nothing. You are so cool. I have a cool friend, and at the same time smart. I’m so lucky that you are my friend.”
“I’m ashamed of what you’re saying,” Brena said laughing.
“I’m more embarrassed,” I said jokingly. Then Brena and I laughed at the same time.
When we ordered food, I only found out that I hadn’t brought my wallet. I still dig in my bag but I don’t have a single coin in my bag.
“Patrice, what’s wrong?”
I looked at Brena. “I have no money. I left my wallet at home.” I almost choked when I said that to her.
“That is all right. I will just treat you to lunch.”
“No! No! Just lent me some money.” Even if Brena and I only meet, I will owe her, because I am very hungry.
“All right, whatever you say. I will just pay for the food you ordered.”
“Thank you so much, Brena!” There is no vessel to my delight.
I thought my lunch would be delayed. Fortunately, I met Brena today, and we became friends.
Brena had already paid for our lunch and we were looking for a seat.
Now I just toured the entirety of my gaze on this cafeteria. The size of it, it’s like we’re in the food court, where only HIS students are here.
The seat we found at Brena’s was pretty middle. With the crowd here, I can’t be choosy yet. I wish I could just sit in a corner but, with too much eating now, I would just want to eat anywhere here, even if I feel like another student is looking at me.
Before I could eat, I was suddenly hurt by the sudden screams of another student.
“There they are,” Brena said while looking in another direction.
I, on the other hand, continue my eating. I don’t care about those who shout, as long as I’m eating my lunch.
“You don’t want to look at them?” Brena asked me.
“Hmmm” I only answered because my mouth was full of food.
Honestly, even if I wanted to have a crush or a boyfriend, I restrained myself. Because, I knew, in the end, I would fall for a guy I didn’t even know. That’s why I’m here because…
I suddenly covered my two ears when all of a sudden the scream got louder.
What is there? Rally? Is there an actor? Model? Singer? Dancer? Another worldwide group?
I couldn’t control myself, so I looked at the students who were shouting that most of them were women.
“You’re handsome!”
“I finally saw you too!”“I’ve been crushing you for a long time!”I could almost swallow my chewing food but Brena immediately gave me my apple juice.
“I told you, look at them earlier while you haven’t eaten yet.”Laughing Brena said to me.
I’m surprised. I was amazed at the inherent good looks of Andrew and Alex’s companions. Brena was right, not only were they four handsome but almost twenty.
“That was in Section Ares. Many like them, because they are handsome… ”
“You’re right, they’re handsome. Very unfair, because in the old school I went. There was not even a single like model or handsome person worldwide, I saw.”
“They are not only handsome but also very smart.”
“What?! They’re already handsome, but they’re smart too?”
It’s so unfair. They have good looking faces.
“Hhmm,” Brena replied as if she was very proud. “They are always representative in anything about academics.”
“Anything about academics?”
“Anything about academics.”
“All of them?”
“All of them.”
“Wow.” I was surprised.
I looked again at everyone’s confusion. I can’t believe that it’s true that Mr Perfect exists, here they are now in front of me, we breathe in the same place.
“But, they don’t get along with others. But, some of them are not that stuck, just like our classmate, Alex Shin.”
I frowned when I accidentally caught my eye on the antipathetic, Alex.
“Of them all, Alex Shin, the playboy. So be careful with him. ”
I wouldn’t be wary of playboy Alex Shin. Because I have no intention of talking to him or even looking at him.
PATRICE MAURICIO ’ s P.O.V. Before fixing myself, I stared first at myself in front of the mirror.After I made up my face, put on some make up to my face. I took my bag. Before going out I check first the contents of my bag if I am carrying my wallet and of course my cell phone. When I was sure that I had the two most important things in my life with me, I left in my room.When I came out of the room I almost had a heart attack when I saw Nanny.“Nanny, I’m surprised at you. I thought it was Daddy or Mommy.”“You’re even more surprising. I thought you were a thief. If I didn’t remember that’s you, I might have called the guard.”“Yeah. Peace.” And signed peace with Nanny.“Are you leaving now?”“Yes, Nanny.&
BRENA QUIN BAESAS ’ s P.O.V. I was about to get out of the car when suddenly my phone rang from my skirt pocket.“Notification from HIS group app.”HIS group app, this is an application exclusively for Heirs International School students, like me. This is just like other social media accounts that can post status and pictures, the difference between posting about it and events within HIS is that it cannot appear on other social media accounts, otherwise there is a corresponding penalty if it violates it.“What is the meaning of this?” I whispered.There was a video uploaded to the HIS group app that, Patrice was supposed to pour orange juice in a can, but Andrew suddenly stopped him so he was the first to throw it.“This is Rachelle.” I
ALEX SHIN ’ s P.O.V.I rubbed my forehead lightly when I recognized who the woman we had met was.She is one of my women. She is beautiful, has a big breast, and a beautiful physique. But, that wasn’t enough for me to be with her. Also, I’m not the type of guy to last with just one woman. Apparently, the ocean is too wide for me to look for other fish.“Who is this?” She asked me and pointed to the woman next to me.Who is the woman with me? I don’t even know her name, she just wanted me to date, and because I saw her breasts are big, I agreed to go with her.The woman with me removed my hug to her shoulder. She looked at me as if waiting for my answer.“Hmmm…” I pretended to think of her name.I really don’t
ALEX SHIN ’ s POINT OF VIEW“Hello, My SB. I miss you.”I almost laughed out loud when I saw Strawberry her eyes widened. A mixture of astonishment, shock and annoyance was evident on his face. His reaction was priceless.I really had no intention of pulling Miss Strawberry but I knew this woman wouldn't stop bothering me especially because she knew we weren't the woman she was referring to.I secretly smiled. How can I have a relationship with that woman? Apart from the fact that I didn't courted her before, I would have too many competitors with her, competitors that I knew if I competed with them I would only lose.“Hey, Alex.”I looked at this woman.“Now, what?” This woman asked me.“What? Here is my one and only serious girlfriend, my SB. What do you need?&l
PATRICE MAURICIO ’ s P.O.V. I hurried out of the car. I'll be late. My first subject is Math. Our teacher in Math is I am her favorite, favorite to stand alone in the back until I can't answer the math question.“Ah! Wait! Wait! Wait, Mr. Guard!” I shouted when the school guard was about to close the gate. When the gate closes for me, I will run ten more times in the open field before entering our first subject.Like me, my fellow students who were also late for school were shouting.When approaching the school gate correctly the school guard closed it.“Line up.” The school guard told us.We could do nothing but line up as we prepared our I.D. to give it to a P.E. teacher to watch over us.Our queue was one by one as we handed over our I.D. Then, we lined up to go to the open field.
PATRICE MAURICIO `s P.O.V. Almost every day, exhausting. This is my situation almost every day.“Wait!” I shouted as I ran to the school gate.“Don't close the gate, Mr. Bodyguard!” I still shout.When I got close to the school gate, I almost cried when it closed. We begged to Mr. School Guard but he didn’t let us be let in.I just want to jump and roll inside the campus. I will run ten times again in an oval the size of a mall.When I give my I.D. in a P.E. teacher whose name is Sir Steve, the keeper of the late runs in the oval. When I gave the I.D. I laughed at it.“You again. Looks like in a week you only don't run in the oval twice every morning.”“Hehehe…”I would no longer be su
PATRICE MAURICIO's P.O.V.When we finished all our classes for this morning, I felt like I couldn't even get up and eat because I was feeling so exhausted. Since our exam was close, we did nothing for this morning, not just to take the quiz.“That's how strawberries dry?” I heard that from Shin.I looked at Shin and kicked him in his leg. It jumped in pain, and he didn't seem to expect that kick from me. Serves him right.“The strength of your kick.” Shin complained.“I don't care.”I looked at Andrew as it passed in front of me. I stood up and
*** ALEX SHIN's P.O.V. *** Damn! Hasn't this teacher of ours finished teaching yet? I already know what he is teaching. I held my stomach when it sounded, compared to earlier the sound was quite loud. “Is that your stomach?” Miss Strawberry asked. I looked at Miss Strawberry, whose name I remember was Patrice Mauricio. “Shut up,” I whispered to her. “Okay.” She just answered and then looked at our teacher again. Why did I even think of giving her my food earlier? I'm so hungry now, and I don't understand what our teacher is saying, it's a good thing that in each of our subjects I have advanced reading so even if I don't understand what our teacher is saying I know all that. “Are you sure you're okay?” Miss Strawberry asked again. “Do I look not okay to you?” I asked her irritably. “Hmm… fifty-fifty? Fifty percent you look good, and fif
Diana Rose POV-I want to hide my tears. I want to bring my tears back to my eyes but I can’t.“Diana, don’t cry anymore.” Isabelle said to me.“I can’t help it.” I said, still crying. “Hold it as long as you can—no until we finish putting all the makeup on your face.” All the makeup that will be used on you is waterproof, so once the makeup is done, you can cry and cry until your eyes will be swollen.”I was crying like crazy and laughed at Isabelle’s words.“This is what we’ve all been waiting for. This is the day that will happen, so your beauty should dominate. So stop crying.”“But—”“No buts, Diana. Will you stop or I will slap all the makeup in front of you?”I stopped crying and nodded before hitting all the makeup.THIS IS THE DAY.We waited one year and nine months before this special day, Alex and I’s wedding, will happen. The process took a long time after what happened before.Miracle was a bit traumatized by what had happened then, especially the loss of Ronald. Mirac
Diana Rose POV-“Miracle!”Before I could run to Miracle, I saw Ronald was hugging Miracle to protect Miracle from the gun bullets.The rain of gunfire stopped at the same time as Ronald fell to the floor while bathing himself in blood.“Ronald! Miracle!” I was full of worry and shouted as I ran towards them.“Mommy, Papa doesn’t want to get up!” Miracle said, crying. “We’re still going to eat, aren’t we?”After I made sure that there was not even a single shot of Miracle from the gun, I first shifted my other attention to Ronald.I gently tap Ronald’s face. “Ronald, please open your eyes. Please.”I smiled when Ronald’s eyes slowly opened.“How to stop the bomb in Miracle’s body? Where is the remote to stop the time bomb in Miracle’s body?”“Do you think that I can hurt my daughter?” he said faintly.I stopped for a moment and shifted my gaze to Miracle who continued to cry because of Ronald’s condition.“No,” I looked back at Ronald. “I think I was scared.” I also looked back at th
Diana Rose POV-We heard a police siren.“Dammit, how did they track it down?”“Ronald, please. Stop this. I’m sure Alex didn’t like what happened to your sibling.”I have to make a way for us to stay here until the police find us in this room.“Shut up! Whether or not Alex likes it, it’s still Alex’s fault!”“But, Ronald...”My lips twitched when Ronald pointed a gun at me.“Will you keep quiet or will I fire the first bullet of this gun at Miracle?” Then he pointed his gun at Miracle.I shook my head. “No, please. I will shut up. If you want, I will go with you now, just don’t hurt Miracle. Please.”Ronald punched my stomach twice, causing me to feel weak. I felt him loosen my handcuffs, but my stomach felt an unfamiliar pain.I want to fight this time, but my stomach is in so much pain that my whole body is almost numb.“Let’s see who is more important t
Alex POV-Dammit.I miss Diana and Miracle so much. I shouldn’t have returned to New York, especially if I knew I would be stranded at the airport for two days because of the typhoon, and if I wasn’t required in that emergency meeting, I wouldn’t have come back without Diana and Miracle.“I’m sorry, but could you please hurry?” I said to Paulo, Isabelle’s husband.I asked Paulo to pick me up because I know how fast he can drive. He is a doctor and once he drove an ambulance in which I was also riding and how he drove, he even beat the one in the race car.“I’ve already maxed the speed limit, Alex. If I speed up, I might be over-speeding. This is not an ambulance.”He is right.“One more thing, calm down. I will have delivered you in less than thirty minutes.”“Fine.”I tried to contact Diana’s phone number, but I still can’t contact her. When I landed here around seven in the evening
Diana Rose POV - While I was getting my jacket and my bag, I still tried to contact Ronald’s number but I couldn’t call his phone number even though I couldn’t count the number of times I tried to contact him. I couldn’t think of anything other than going to see Miracle right away. That’s why after I got my bag and jacket, I left the house, just in time for a taxi to pass by, so I stopped it right away. I didn’t waste a single second and told the taxi driver the address that Ronald sent me. “Ma’am, it’s farther and then it’s late—” “I will pay any amount as long as you take me to this address.” I beg in desperation. I understand why the taxi driver almost refused. It’s a bit late at night and maybe he still has something to go to but at this time I’m desperate and willing to give all the money I have just to go to Miracle right away. “You look in
Diana Rose POV-After I finished meeting Ronald, he insisted on taking me to Isabelle’s house. Ronald also told me that is why there was no one at the cafe where we met because he rented it for the entire day.“Oh, my gosh, Diana Rose Soleta, we met!” Isabelle shouted as I entered their house. “I’ve been waiting for you. Why did you just visit me now?”The weather was hot, so we just stayed inside their house.“Because l met Ronald.”“I see. I understand.”Like Ronald, I just met Isabelle again and just now I could contact her.“I thought you forgot about me.”“Sorry, if I just contacted you now. I’ve been busy these past few weeks.”“I’m just kidding. I understand. Are you and Alex getting along?”“Yes,” I said with a smile. “Our family is complete now. We’ve been together these past weeks.”Isabelle’s jaw dropped. In joyful surprise, Isabelle’s jaw dropped, and then she hug
Diana Rose POV-Three weeks had passed, but it was still like a dream come true that we have now completed as a family.We did nothing for three weeks except bond after taking Miracle from school. But every Friday night, Alex returns to New York and then returns Monday morning, but often when an emergency in the company he needs it, Alex is back in New York to take care of his work. “Mommy, when is daddy coming home?” Miracle asked me as we were cooking breakfast.“Tomorrow morning, baby.”“By the way, do you want to go to school anymore?”“Yes, mommy. I want to say goodbye to everyone.”“Okay, I’ll take you later. Then that’s the last time you attend that school.”Alex has taken care of all the documents for our departure back to New York. It is a good thing Miracle agreed to return to New York because she said she liked it because his grandparents and his favorite is Uncle Darryl.
Diana Rose POV-“You two finally made up!” Darryl said when Alex and I visited him in his hotel room. “I’m sorry if I told Diana what I know.”“I think that’s fine.”“Of course!” I said. “You should have told me everything before.”“Calm down, Diana. Let’s not bring up the past.” Darryl said teasingly.“I’ll just get Miracle and I’s stuff, then we’ll move to Alex’s house—”“Our home, Diana. That’s our home,” Alex corrected me. “Our home. Miracle and I are moving there.”“Moving house?” Darryl asked in surprise.“Yes, why?” I ask.“That’s all you’re going to do? I mean, what do you plan to do now that you’ve settled? Other than that, I think you’re going to tell Miracle the truth. What else do you plan to do?”Alex and I looked at each other at Darryl’s question.“You don’t have any other plans?” Darryl asked, out of concern. “Hey Alex, what are you up to?”
Diana Rose POV-STRAWBERRY SCENT scented my sense of smell when my spirit woke up. At the same, time I felt a lot of pain in my, body especially in the lower part of it.For a few moments, I felt the edge of the bed I was lying on sink a little and I smelled strawberry scent even more.“Good morning, my SB.”Then I thought of opening my eyes after I heard Alex’s voice.“Good morning—why are you naked in front of me?”Alex was wearing nothing but a white towel for his lower body while he was wiping his wet hair with a white small towel.“It’s like you didn’t touch my whole body, you didn’t lick my man—”“Stop it!” I held my breath, cutting off the teasing Alex said to me.Every time I remember what I did last night with Alex, I feel like my whole body is burning with the shame of what I did. I didn’t mean it, I was just carried away by my emotions from what we were doing last night.
