Eyes On Me

Chapter 3 : Miss Duckling can talk? I thought she's mute

THIRD PERSON’S POV

‘’Pierro texted me that there will be a meeting at 5, don’t be late, or worse absent.”

“Sure. Why are they not here already”

“Wait yo ass. They’re probably still answering numbers”

“But their other block mates are now ordering foods”

“Maybe their professor wouldn’t let them leave unless they finished their work.”

“What are they? Elementary? The s**t still does that in college?”

“Heyyy! Sorry we’re late, folks”

A 20-year-old guy with a height of 6’2. His hooded brown eyes, the proud nose and a pump heart shaped lips and the bod that girls and gays would stand in front of him and would directly say ‘f**k me’. Wearing a Business Ad polo shirt and a slack that fits him perfectly. He’s a member of an underground illegal car racing team, a nine-time champion, so the name “Alexander Dev Hernandez” is famous inside or outside the car racing underground. He’s the ladies’ dream who desperately wants to achieve. He was forced to study business due to his father’s order even though he wanted to study Law, and he envied Jaile because of that. His father is half Spanish and half Filipino, and his mother is a Filipino. A one and half inches cut above on his right brows makes him more like a bad boy. The people didn’t know where he got that scar from though.

“Jared here still flirting with the hot chick professor”

The guy beside Alex glares at him. Jared Nikolai Mikhailov, a person who ‘didn’t know’ the school rules. Has a messy thick brown hair. He looks like he was dragged by gays, but Jaile calls it a ‘bird’s nest’. Wearing a black sleeveless shirt, his Civil Engineer T-shirt hung on his right shoulder. His proud yummy biceps make the girls and gays drool, and make the guys feel insecure. A person who sleeps in class, but still got the highest score in quizzes and exams. Only awake when his favorite professor is in the one at the board. He has a teeny tiny patience so don’t mess with him. The last time someone messed him up, he hit the guy with a drawing sheet container on the neck. Don’t ask how the guy was, is he dead? He’s in a coma right now.

4 years ago…….

“Ugghhh just tell his parents. I’m busy right now and Jaile stop laughing or I’ll kick your ass out” Knight said. Typing his phone.

“We can’t. The butler said that Mr. Mikhailov was busy throwing bullets at his enemies. Mr. and Mrs. Rio want Jared to put him in jail. Please, you’re good at this.” Alex said.

“Fine” The pouting Knight was walking towards at the serious Jared. Jaile was poking Jared’s cheeks. Squeeze it apart. Knight stops in front of Jared with hands on his waist.

“Woah Knight’s being serious just like your father, Jared. And gonna lecture like your mother.” Jaile said.

“You need to control you anger Jared. This will be the last time; I will not save you in the future. You’ll rot in jail.” Of course he will still save him. Knight said that to scare Jared so he will not do it again.

“What is he a kid?”

Back to present

“Can’t deny that Professor is sexy, his innocence makes him sexier. Gotta ask his number later” The smirking Jaile said, messing the glaring, Jared.

“Knight, go get me some tuna sandwich and apple juice will ya” Sitting the chair with the legs cross.

“I’m not your servant”

“Come on now Knight. Go with Jared if you’re shy.”

“Shut up. Jared let’s go”

“How was the Apollo’s” Jaile said, smiling at Alex.

“They’re good. Still alive, they’ll be dead when Jared discovers them” Alex laughs nervously about his joke. Jaile just smiled at Alex, but his eyes were deadly serious. It made the nervous Alexander gulp.

“Actually, there’s a minor problem. A group of goons trespasses the underground. My men caught two of them, a some like grenade and a smoke bomb inside of their bag. I think they wanted a little fun. We ask them but their disgusting mouths were very loyal, so we buried them alive and naked at the back of the stage. Don’t worry, it’s three times deeper than usual. I think they’re from the other you know. Because they’re the one gang that has a hot pot on us.”

“You think? If that’s the case, ahh no. For now, tighten the security, hire more guards that would be assigned from all areas. I want assassins. Put their bag in the lost and found room, post it on the bulletin board, inside and outside. Hang their clothes to the area where they sneak. And make a note.”

“Copy that”

“Anyways, wanna have drinks and p*****s tonight?”

BLAAAAGGGG!

“Ah! s**t! It’s cold.” Cedric jumped in shock and started screaming because of the cold water thrown at his back. The students that are closer to them are turning their head at Cedric. He stood up and started to wiggle.

“Stop shaking like a dog, dawg” His friends said.

He looks at the person who bumped into him accidentally.

Oh, it’s a girl. I was about to throw hands when I thought it was the stupid boys again.

The girl’s eyes grew big looking at the boy’s wet t-shirt and his rude and confused face.

“Hey, miss, if you wanna see my abs desperately just say it. You don’t need to put a show on it.” Cedric jokingly said. The girl just shakes slowly her head. His voice was loud and most of the students were looking at them. It made her anxiety rise. Her eyes shine and wants to cry but force not to. Cedric noticed it. He panicked.

“Uhhmmm it’s okay. It’s okay. Just calm down, I’m a good guy. I will not hurt you because of what you did.” Cedric knows that it’s just an accident, and he just wants to calm the girl a little. She looks tense. He kneels and grabs the plastics on the floor. The girl helps him. They put it on the table, a voice came before Cedric was about to say anything.

‘’What’s with all these rackets?” Knight who just came back from his table, said. Seeing the spilled plastic cups scattered on the floor. The liquids were running under Knight’s chair. Knight’s table and Cedric’s table were half meter apart.

“I heard a scream. Did you just bully a girl, Cedric?”

“No-“

“Yes, he pushes the girl for fun. And said it would make him cooler if he fought a girl.” Jaile said.

“Ewww bro, that’s gay. Pick someone the same as your level.” He adds.

Cedric was speechless and didn’t know what to say because the students interrupted every time he talk. The people surrounding them agreed to Jaile’s. They’re laughing and riding Jaile’s s**t, he glared as he knows what they doin. Jaile saw the girl staring at him. Her eyes were fierce, and her beige pouty lips closed.

She’s so cute, I want to pinch her cheeks……….twist her mouth………..and choke her neck.

He smiles and says hi. But the girl just stared at him with a blank face and rolled its eyes. He was dumbfounded by the girl’s doing. She did not just stare at him but also roll her eyes.

So, the little girl is not little anymore. That’s a start.

“No. It was my fault. I bump him and the drinks was thrown at him, specifically, on his back.” The girl holds Cedric’s arm and turns him to show Knight.

“The drinks were cold, so he ended up screaming. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I was distracted and I’m so stupid for not watching where I head”

“But it’s good thing that it’s cold and not hot. He would’ve gone to clinic right now.” Looking away and scratching her eyebrow.

Why do I suddenly feel comfortable with them. And what’s with the confidence right now, Fran. She thought.

“If you’ll excuse me. I must go now because my friends are waiting, and also to inform the happenings right now.” Fran bows down and heads back to Aiah’s table. Her face distorts as she walks, afraid that they would hate her. But they ended up laughing.

However, the boys were speechless at the sudden voice that was coming from the girl’s lips. That was their first time hearing its voice. It was soft and fragile. Her eyes were very focused on Knight’s when she spoke. Knight turns his face to Cedric.

“You scream like a girl. I thought it was the lass.” Knight said with a deadpan look.

“What?! I did not!”

“Yes, you are. You even scream like a girl on your nighty-nighttime every damn hour. It’s so annoying.” His one of his block mates said.

“What the- How did you know? Why are you in my room?!” the confuse Cedric said.

“I steal-borrow I mean-your s*x tape every night.”

“So that’s why I always wondered why there’s a sticky white thingy paste inside the cover of my tape. You POS!” He said angrily. Doesn’t care if they heard it, he has thick face. Social anxiety is afraid of him.

The people laugh and bully the poor Cedric. Knight just sighed and placed their order on their table. He grabs the plate with tuna sandwich in it and the apple juice to Jaile.

“Here’s your order, your highness” he said with fake smile. But Jaile just stared at him. In confusion, Knight lifted his eyebrows saying is something wrong, but Jaile shook his head.

“So, miss duckling has been upgraded, eh? She can now talk and rolls eyes. The last time we met her was when she looked at us like we’re a pathetic clown spilling unlaughable jokes. Oh well, waiting for the new update though” Jaile turn his gaze to Jared.

“What? You think we didn’t notice?”

“Poor little Jaile, she just ignored you. And paid attention to Knight. I think he likes Knight.”

“Yeah, of course. Because they’re both nerd” Jaile said bitterly.

“Why do I feel so bitter? It’s not that big a deal. I mean……I just feel strange of that duck.”

“What strange”

“I mean…….when I say hi to the other girls, they response immediately. They even squeal and look at me with lustful eyes. But when I did that to her, she just looked at me with a blank face. She even rolls her eyes.”

“She looked at Knight with an innocent eye, face.” He adds. I’m jealous.

“Well, she’s different from the other girls” Jared said.

“Maybe she has her standards. Maybe you’re not her type.”

“Or maybe because of her glasses.”

“Seriously, Alex” Knight said.

“She doesn’t find you attractive………handsome……….kind?”

“Jaile, you don’t think that every girl in the world has a crush on you, right? It’s not strange, it’s just normal. You’re just not used to it because most of the girls here love expensive, beauty, has enormous company and what else they love. And it’s your first time someone doing it to you.”

Jaile thought that Knight was right. Maybe he was not. He turns his gaze at the girl who chats with her friends. But I’m still jealous though.
