VIEVE PEREZ HILTON
l followed Ethan. Since he was in a car, it took me a while to find him, but I remembered the plate number. I found the car parked at an old house.
l cautiously entered the gate. Peeking through the window, I quickly hid when I saw them inside. Peeking again, I saw them beating Ethan.
What should I do?! If I call the police, they'll take a long time and I won't be able to get in on time.
I checked my watch, the first period was almost starting. We might still make it.
*Siren Ringing*
"What's that?!"
"That's the police, boss."
"Let's go, we might get caught."
"We're not done with you yet!"
They hurried out of the old house and got into the car. I hid beside the house. When I was sure they were gone, I went inside. I found Ethan lying on the floor, blood on the side of his mouth. I immediately approached him and gave him my handkerchief. He took it.
"Are you hurt?" I asked.
"No. What are you doing here?" he asked, wiping the blood from his lip.
"Um, I saw you as I was coming…," I said, then looked at my watch. "Oh no, get up, we're going to be late."
"Huh?"
"COME ON." I pulled him up.
*Bell Ringing*
I roughly opened the door. When I looked ahead, Sir Polo wasn't there yet. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, you're almost late.”
When I turned around, Sir Polo was smiling. I forced a smile back. We sat down. Sir Polo started the lesson, I drank some water because we were out of breath from running. When the first period ended, we had Art next, so we used a different room.
We were asked to do sketches, showing off our drawing skills. Mine looked realistic, but it was still lacking.
When I heard our art teacher praise Zephyr's work, everyone gathered around. I stood up and looked at his drawing. He smirked, looking at me, showing off his work.
His drawing was incredibly realistic, every line was beautiful. In my anger, I snapped my pencil. It's infuriating! Why is he so perfect? Can I really beat this guy?
"Hey, Vieve? Are you okay, Vieve?" Gwen called.
"Huh? What was that again?" I asked. I hadn't been listening, I only came back to reality when I heard my name.
"Are you okay? You've been spacing out. Your food is falling off your plate." Gwen said seriously.
l looked at my plate, my food was scattered everywhere.
"No, it's Zephyr. He's too perfect, it's annoying," I said honestly.
"Maybe you're just envious of him?" Ethan asked, sitting next to me.
"Maybe. Even if I study every day, night and morning, I can't beat him," I said sadly.
"What are you talking about? Even Zephyr has weaknesses. He's just a person, God doesn't make all his children perfect," Gwen said.
"Wow, coming from you. What?! are you changing?" I said.
"I've been going to church, and I'm trying to change," Gwen said.
"That's good. To lessen your past sins," I said, eating.
"You're harsh. But hey, let's change the subject. Why were you two together when you arrived? There's something going on between you two," Gwen teased.
Ethan and I looked at each other after Gwen's comment. Ethan left, telling me not to mention what happened that morning.
“We just happened to be at the school gate at the same time,”
"Hey, if I find out you have a boyfriend, make him meet me first. If I don't like him, break up with him immediately," Gwen said.
"What? Are you my mom? You're so strict," I said.
"I'm your best friend, and best friends know best," Gwen said proudly.
"Isn't it 'mother knows best'?" I corrected her.
"It's the same thing,"
"Okay, let's just eat," I said.
When it was time to go home, I was walking home alone. I saw Ethan outside the gate, sitting on his motorcycle. He was about to leave when I saw a man put his arm around him. I stopped when I recognized the man. I stepped back in fear as they took Ethan to their car.
Oh no, I need to get help.
I was about to go back to the main building to get help when something hit my chest. The impact was so strong that I fell to the floor.
"Ouch!" It hurt so much from the fall.
"Are you blind, shorty?" a familiar voice said.
When I looked up, I saw Zephyr with his hands in his pockets, looking at me. I stood up, annoyed.
"Don't call me 'shorty'! My height is just right. You're the one who's over tall!" I said angrily.
"Tss, there's no point in talking to you. Just stay there," he said, walking away.
"So arrogant," I said angrily.
When I entered the main building, I saw that everyone was gone. They had all left. I went back outside. Maybe there was still someone who could help me. I walked around, but there wasn't a single person. Then, someone honked behind me. A person?
l hurried to the driver's seat and knocked on the window. When it went down, I was surprised to recognize who it was.
"Oh, sir?" I said in surprise.
"Miss, it's you. Can I help you with something?" he asked politely.
If sir is here, then… I looked at the back of the car. He was there, glaring at me.
"Um... My friend... he's been kidnapped," I said softly.
"What?"
"Please help me, please," I begged.
"Okay, miss, get in." Sir said.
"WHAT?! NO!" Zephyr shouted.
"Young Master, we have a debt to her. She didn't accept the money you gave her, meaning we still owe her. So please, if she doesn't want to accept the money, this is our chance to help her," Sir replied.
He just sighed and didn't answer.
"Please get in, miss."
l smiled and got in the back of the car. There wasn't time to go to the front.
"Why are you here? Go to the front," Zephyr said angrily.
"There's no time, sir, let's go," I said urgently.
l didn't have time to argue with him. Time is precious now. Ethan is in danger.
