Chapter 4: Every Woman’s dream
The school will be boring if there are no famous intelligent people, varsity players, and thousands of active students who always make the school special and its name will be roaring around.
Zion was the campus crush at their school he was always got girls’ attention just by walking around. He got the appeal that every guy wanted. Just like today he is walking feeling cool and fresh from the basketball court, he always got girls’ attention by simply walking. A star, a heartthrob just like how his co-players describe him.
“Zion!” Girls were shouting his name as if he was a Greek god, they are praising him. One of his admirers blocks his way just to give him a box of chocolates.
“Uhm, Zion.” The girl was stuttering while giving him the box of chocolates. Zion smiled at her and even hold her chin for the girl to look at him in the eyes. The girl almost lost her balance for what Zion did but Zion was fast enough to react and hold the girl’s arms for her not to fall on the ground.
“Thank you for this,” Zion said and smiled at the girl. The girl almost collapsed but Zion managed to hold her still.
“Don’t be nervous. By the way, thank you for your admiration.” He said and was about to walk away.
“C-c-can we take a picture?” the girl asks him still stuttering. Zion smiled and hold the girl on her waist for the picture.
The reason why girls admire and love him was that he never dump every girl that likes him in front of many people, he will always appreciate their admiration but never go to do the same or feel the same way for them.
“Dude! Such a heartthrob!” his teammate teases him as his usual thing, he was used to it for he always encounter such scenarios throughout his high school life, but never did he know he will love the way he was receiving that kind of love and admiration from all the girls around.
“You never dump anyone of them, but never even like any one of them,” The other player told him and he just laughed at him. Zion knows what he is doing and he does not care about them either.
“Bad boy.” His teammates commented and he just laughed, he does not care tho.
They decided to walk around just to show off to the girls and to the crowd, the basketball team always loves the attention they are getting. Girls are treating them differently some were giving them a water bottle and they would accept it. When they are done and too tired for the girls’ attention they decided to go to their locker room.
Zion opened his locker to put the box of chocolate but he was shocked when letters started falling from his locker, there were lots of them. He never thought that as early as school starts he will receive a bunch of letters, he also sees some gifts for him, in the locker. He just smiled and collected the letters.
He put the letters and chocolates inside his locker before going to his class. He was shocked when girls inside their classroom gave him chocolates and letters again. He feels like he is a celebrity for a moment. He thanked them before taking his seat. The teacher enters the room and started their lesson. He wasn’t paying attention until he got called for a sudden recitation. He can’t answer for he has no idea what was happening.
But a girl saved him and answered the teacher effortlessly and confidently it seems like the question was the easiest question to answer for her. He takes a look at the girl but he didn’t receive any glanced from her. So, he got amused and was ready to start a battle with the girl.
“Dude, you should thank Ms. Santos for saving you earlier,” Thompson told him he has been his classmate since they were in elementary, they were good friends even though they have different hobbies.
“Ms. Santos? Who is she?” he asked for he doesn’t know any Santos in their class, it is because he is now already part of the varsity and they practice every now and then.
“She is the transferee, I guess? She is younger than all of us, I do not know how did she ended up in our class I guess because she was from a great school or she was the homeschooled girl,” Thompson told him and he nodded.
He takes a glance at the back of Thylane and he is thinking of whoever she is he hated what he did earlier to him. He still can’t imagine that she is the student council president.
“Why are you so amused with her?” Zion asks Thompson and he just laughed and told him the details. He was not that sure about what he is talking but he still managed to tell Zion all the things he knew about Thylane.
“So, who is Thylane Santos?” He asked again, he knew her but he want to dig deeper about her.
“Ah, to sum it up she is the new student. The brilliant one. The one who saved you.” Thompson answered him and winked, Zion felt disgusted with that action of Thompson, he knew that his friend was naughty and silly sometimes.
“Is she the student council officer?” he asked for her features are somewhat familiar to him. He wanted to make sure that she is really the student council he have known.
“Yeah. Well, you should thank her.” Thompson emphasized it. But he remembered what the girl did to him so he shook his head.
“She doesn’t deserve it.” He said and fixed his things. He went to the library and while walking some girls pulled him into the canteen for some snacks, he can’t say no for the reason that he is hungry and he doesn’t want to be rude to anyone. Especially woman.
The girls treat him to whatever he likes to eat and he exits the canteen with a happy tummy, while still on break he went to the library to look for books he is now willing to compete with the new girl in their class. So, he borrowed books he can read at night.
After that he went back to his classroom and had their next class, he did great competing with the new girl in class. He is enjoying the company and the competition inside. Lunchbreak and he went first in the locker room to get all the chocolates and letters he will keep at their home.
While picking up everything gifts he received he called his mom to get him. And after a minute her mom was already at the gate and he was holding lots of paper bags.
“Hey, son. Did you just do the shopping inside your school?” his mom teases him he just laughed at his mom and walk towards their car.
“Mom of course not. It was a gift. Their gifts for your handsome son.” He boasts and throws the gifts at the back seat.
His mother shook his head at his son.
“I birthed the next Zeus of modern times.” His mom teases him and laughed hard. After that, they went home and he put all the letters on the box he got almost to box full of letters and his mom is getting worried about it.
“Son, aren’t you going to read any of these?” his mom was pertaining about the letters. And he just shook his head. He doesn’t want to get pulled away by anybody’s sweet words he was just being nice to them.
“What about these chocolates?” his mother asks him because their refrigerator can’t take it anymore, it is so full.
“We can give it to the children at the park.” He said and went straight to their kitchen to eat their lunch.
At some point, his mother is a little bit worried about him, but on the other side, he knows it is a big advantage for his son.
“Do you feel unsafe? Or bothered with that kind of stuff?” his mom asks him and he just shook his head, he knows what to do, and he will not be in danger, that was in his thoughts, he knew martial arts and some self-defenses so he is not worrying that much.
“Got used to it already, I don’t want to hurt them in front of many people so I get that stupid trash,” he said and smirked, he is boasting again just his usual thing, his mom just shook her head.
“But you were hurting them by not giving the same energy of love,” his mom told him the hard truth and he acted like he was hit by a spear in his chest that made his mother laugh at him.
“I’m serious here son,” his mom told him and he just sighed and shrugged.
“I didn’t push them to like me that much mom,” he said as he put all the letters on the couch, he smiled at it before putting it on the large box.
“Well, you are still young and you are owe to make mistakes,” His mom told him and he didn’t take it seriously.
“I am too young for such love thing,” he exclaimed and her mother almost choke her drinks.
“Dude, don’t say that,” his mother told him and he just shook his head.
“I have something to do mom, I want to be good at school, well I want to be the best instead, it will be fun making people cry,” he said and his mom gave him a death glare.
“Hm. Sorry to say, mom,” he teases his mom and went to get a glass of water.
“But you birthed for the man,” He added and then drink on his water, his mother on the other hand is patiently waiting for him to continue his words.
“Every woman’s dream,” he added and then smirked as he said the phrase.
“You need to put your defenses up then,” his mother tease him too, playing the game he just started. He knows how silly and playful his mom and he just laughed at her.
“Mom, don’t ruin my mood, I am winning against you earlier,” he said getting sad now.
“Son, don’t speak like as if you already know how would you become the next days. Be ready love, you might eat your words,” his mom told him that, it is double meaning so he hated it.
On his mind: I do not want to fall in love, whatever they do, I will not fall into it, Zion Dominguez the coolest basketball player will not be fallen into the trap of love, I did not came for love, I go for famousity. I want to be watched and admired, it is not to be loved by only one person. I want the attention I am getting. I will now allow that someone will just ruin my reputation.
“Mom!” he shouted, because his mom already left him at the kitchen.
“What?” his mother answered him from the upstairs, she is now in the library.
“Whatever you say, I will not be falling into the trap of love,” he shouted being too defensive with himself. He heard his mother laugh from the upstairs which makes him annoyed.
“Whatever son, I will take note of this, and when the time will come I am the first person to bully you,” she shouted.
Zion did not bother answering his mom because he is now totally pissed off, he does not want to be in love, he hated it he only wants the attention he is getting because it is giving him too many advantages.
“I am still Zion Dominguez,” he said as he walks towards the living room when he saw the mirror he take a glimpse at himself, he smiled and smirked.
He hold his face and admired his look.
“I am still, Zion Dominguez, every women’s dream,” he said and admired himself once again.

Her mother went to Paris and her dad went to Singapore, she was left with a maid who has happened to sleep early today, she had a lot of stuffs to do in the morning beacuase of what Thylane did to their kitchen.
She jsut read a book about making a katana and g*n powder and she went to try it but she have failed. But that did not stop her she wanted to create a new weapon. She usually watches girl assassin movies that is why she is addicted to wanting to have her own versions of the guns and powder she wanted to make a new weapon.
She wanted to protect people who are not capable who was seen to be weak in the eyes of the society.
She bought an ice cream as to calm herself, she jsut witnessed a harrasment with her nannie a while ago and she wanted so bad to lashed out the skin of the man. She wanted to kill the man a while ago but she refused and remained silent. She is sick to being silent, but she was told that she was just a child. WHo can't do anything to rule the world.
But that doesn't stop her still, she wanted to ruin everything. She wanted to make them suffer, hate themselves and be burried. She wanted to make them regrets what they have done to the people she was closed and the people who have taken care of her.
She wanted so bad to do it. So she is reading day by day. She went home to their condo unit and the nannie was still asleep she felt relief because she won't be scolded. SHe went to her room abnd opened her book again. She read the book before she falls asleep.
The next morning, she saw her nannie cleaning the house again. She is watching her, no one is talking just them doing whatever they want to do. She still watches her nannie, for what ever she do. She is trying to read if her nanny is doing fine, but she can't comprehend she wanted to know what her nannie felt but she can't read her.
At the moment she wanted to read her nannies mind, but she can't so she was left devastated and sad for what happened to her. She can't read her nannie and she can't read the reason why she was here. She wanted so bad to know her side.
She keep on eyeing on her nannie, but she can't do it 24/7 she needs to go to school. While at the school, she keeps herself busy with reading her books.
She wanted to move out but she keep herself stay in the school. She was not a fan of studying she prefers home learning. So she requested to her parents for her to be homeschooled. And they agreed. She was homeschooled and her tutor often gave up on her, because of her intellectuality. She is beyond genius.
"Ma'am why so?" She keeps on asking, she keeps on wanting to know deeper.
"Love, you can't understand it yet,"
"But I understood the Calculus," she reasoned out so she won over her tutor.
They studied about the Maxims, the Dynasties and everything in the history.
Especially in history of science, she is easger to know more about it, she even asks about the serial killing incidents around the world. Her tutor wants to give up again on her, so hse requested other lessons.
"You wanted to be an investigator?" Her tutor asks her and she nodded agressively.
"Not only that, i also want to be a lawyer," she stated and the tutor nodded.
That was maybe a hard dream but she always wanted it to happen. So she did everything.
As her tutor told her she needs to study a lot in order to achieve her dreams.
She agreed with her, they also had a quick conversation about being kind student and she agreed to her, she always wanted to become good student but her bad attitude keep on making her bad.
She wanted to be heard but they are mute. They are not allowing her to speak herself, because her ideas and comments are so out of this world.
She will always have to keep her thought within herself until someone trusted will ask her and will help her make her thoughts be heard by others. But those people were also claiming that her thoughts and ideas was theirs.
That made her often end up staring at the empty wall, anticipating her thoughts and wishing.
It would be better if they would have a nice attitude. Fairness.
