Angel's POV...
"Can Angel Rodrigo be excused and come to the office. Angel Rodrigo to the office now. Thank you",the principal says on the intercom causing May and I to snap out of our trance.
"Uhm I'll be back",I say and as if on time,the bell rings for the second period.
I walk towards the front office to see a man holding a gift bag,some red roses,with a paper, probably for me to sign.
"Uhm I was called",I say to Gladys while looking at the man.
"Oh honey you have some things sent for you",she says pointing to the man.
"Please sign here",he says giving me a pen and showing me where to sign and me being me,I put yet again another fake signature because well,you never know.
"Seems like someone has a secret admirer",Gladys wiggles her eyebrows and I shake my head with a small laugh.
"Bye Gladys",I say and go back to class.
"Who sent you those?",Chris asks breathing down my neck the moment I sit down.
.
"Shut the f**k up okay. I haven't read the card yet",I say slightly pushing his face away from me before placing the roses on my desk and sit down
.
I put the present bag on my thighs and look around to see that everyone is well on their phones except the mafia kids and my best friends.
I see 2 black boxes.
My gut is telling me I'll regret opening this here.
But here goes nothing.
I try opening one of the boxes while it's still in the gift bag and see 2 bloodied fingers,with rings that I had customised for my parents on their annivesary. I remember that I'm in class and quickly put it away.
Who the f**k is behind this.
Why my parents.
Why the f**k now.
I open the second box to see a picture of my parents tied up looking very beat up. They are so bloody it's hard to recognise them.
This can't be happening.
I hurriedly put the box inside the bag.
"Sir may I be excused?",I say causing Henderson to look at me and nod causing me to immediately walk out and go to the bathroom and into one of the stalls.
I close the toilet and sit down.
I take a few deep breaths before finally taking the box with the fingers.
I take off the rings and insect them carefully. The silver of the rings aren't the same as the ones I had requested,these rings look a bit worn out while i know that my parent's rings never and I mean never looked dull or old but new and shiny also I had Mk engraved on the backs of the rings which aren't on the fake ones. So there's hope.
I put away the box with the rings and fingers. I take the one with the photo of my parents.
I look at it closely, Melvin's head is faced down as well as Karen. Now that's suspicious,their postures are horrible and Karen being ladylike,no matter how beat up she is,never slouched,not even if she's asleep. Melvin, well, he could be like that but his feet are not tied down so the fact that his knees are very close to each other makes no sense,he never sits like that,he finds it way too uncomfortable,even when unconscious. Says his balls need to breathe. His words,not mine.
I look at their heads carefully.
Karen's hair looks rigid and out of place,it's like her hairline went back. I look closer to see that it's actually a wig,the closure was done nicely but they didn't place it the way Karen's hair usually is. Melvin's hair looks longer than it did this morning so this cannot be them.
My parents are not held hostage.
Yaaaaay.
I breathe out in relief and put the box back. I stand up from the toilet lead and get out of the stall. I check if there's anyone else in here and when I find no one. I have a celebration dance.
"Now from the top-",I start to dance the WAP dance.
"Make it drop-",I get in a sort of squat position but a bit lower with my hands on the side. I then put my hands in front on the ground to get in a sort of yoga position called the downward dog...weird name but hey I'm just dancing. I start to wiggle my ass in that position while singing.
"That's some wet ass-",I get cut off when I hear the the door open which causes me to stand up straight in a standing position and act as though I was fixing my hair looking in the mirror then wash my hands.
"Hi", the girl greets with a shy smile.
"Hey sweet cheeks", I say with my charming smile and notice her blush as she gets into one of the stalls.
I sigh and get out not forgetting to take the gift bag.
I go back to class and sit down.
"What happened,you looked like you were told you would have to die a virgin tonight",May says leaning close to me.
Yep she's never completely serious.
"Oh I was being pranked. Some fuckers sent me fingers with rings similar to our parents and a picture of people looking like them but all beaten up. I wanted to check if it was really them and it isn't",I tell her.
"Who the f**k would do that now,like that's f****d up",she says.
I nod and look at the roses,there's a card.
I take it and open the envelope it's in. I take out the card.
It's written,"we started with them, we're coming for you if you don't join".
I'll just assume it's a mafia. Don't know which one cause they all want me. See somehow, some people think I'm Satanic Angel and want me, but then that's impossible.
"What does it say?",she ask and i give it to her.
"Holy s**t!",she shouts causing everyone to look at her.
"Ms May,would you like to explain the need for you to shout out profanities ?",sir asks.
"Sir I just realised that I'm not so smart,I don't know who my vice President is",she makes up a lie.
"Well next time just use Google,it's there for a reason or better yet ask Siri",he says shaking his head.
"Seriously...you don't know her?",I ask.
"Not like I even care about politics in general ",she shrugs.
Everyone goes back to minding their business.
"What if they really do come though?",she asks.
"Baby may,you forget that they've been wanting me for years and never got me,why would they get me now",I say.
"Well they went as far as sending this, and this is always happening Angel",she says.
"It's just a small threat. If they were serious,they should've come. I won't work for a bunch of d***s",I say shaking my head.
"Again,I'm here",Ray says in frustration.
