Admirer

chapter 3

I woke up early in the morning. I looked at the clock hanging on my wall. It's only 4:30 in the morning, but I don't feel sleepy all of a sudden. I got up in my bed and walked out of my room to go in the kitchen to get some water. I was on my way to the kitchen when I heard some noise. Not only a noise, but a moan.

ughh--ah

hmmm

I walked slowly, but that's when I saw my mom, she was on the top of someone. Naked. I couldn't see the face of the man, but the women on top of him was clearly my mom. I don't know what to do. This is my first time seeing two people in that kind of position. I had just left that place and I didn't know what to do.

What the hell was that?

I asked myself. I can feel my legs trembling. I can't imagine, not even in my wildest dream, that I would see my mom in that erotic position. I just continued my way through my room. I don't know if I can tell my mom about what I saw. I'm afraid that she might get furious.

But who is that man?

I don't remember my mom having a boyfriend since dad left us.

I laid on my bed, still thinking of what I saw.

Maybe because of so much thinking I suddenly fell asleep.

I deaved when the sun hit my face. I open my eyes just to see that I was already late. I flurriedly got up on my bed, and went to the bathroom to do my routine. While I was taking a shower, a memory of what I saw last night flashed through my mind.

haytss

What's the point of thinking? Maybe I should just let my mom do what she pleases. Even if I don't want to, I don't have the guts to tell her that, all I want for her is to be happy, even if I'm not.

I finished taking a bath, I walked to my walk-in closet and chose what I should wear. I don't like wearing a sexy outfit, I prefer more if it's an oversize T-shirt. So I chose a white T-shirt and trousers. I looked at the clock, and it was already 6:45 AM. After everything, I went out of my room. I was on my way downstairs when I smelled something, something delicious. I went to our kitchen and I saw mom cooking. She even sang while cooking and she seemed so happy.

"Mom?" I called her.

She looked at me and smiled. I couldn't help but to admire her. She was really so beautiful.

"Heyy."

"What are you doing mom?" I asked her, as if I hadn't seen her cooking.

"Cooking." She answered me sarcastically.

I leer secretly.

It just felt so unreal, this was the first time I saw her smiling so broadly, since my dad left us, and it makes me afraid, afraid that it was just only for a while.

I looked at her again. "I'm going to school now." I said to her.

I saw her looking at me. I didn't wait for any answer from her. I turned my back and walked out of the kitchen.

I heard her calling my name, but I ignored her. I was just so confused about what was happening, and I don't want to talk to her for now.

I continued walking out of our house, and I immediately took a taxi. I just don't feel like walking now to go to our school, even if it's not that far from our house. I just suddenly felt lazy.

I took my phone out of my pocket and texted Denise.

Where are you?

--Ryla

Not that long ago when I received an answer.

I'm here at our school now. Why?

---Denise

I slid my phone back in my pocket, and didn't answer her.

It only took 10 minutes when I arrived. I paid the taxi driver and got out of it.

While I was walking, I saw how the students looked at me.

What is their problem?

But then reality slapped me. This is about the scene in the cafeteria.

I just ignored them and continued walking. I was on the first floor. The room of the ABM students and I saw Denise talking with some of her classmates.

"Denise!" I called her, a bit shouted.

She looked at me and then her classmates again. I just waited for them until she finished talking to them.

When I saw her classmates leaving, I hurriedly go to her.

"Hey Ryla." she said when I got close.

I took my phone to see the time. It's 7AM now.

I looked at Denise. "I have to go now, Denise."

"Okay, I'll come with you too. I have to get something there with Ma'am Paraz." I nodded at her.

We continued walking. We were on the second floor when I bumped into someone. I looked up and I saw Portia.

No, not again.

Portia looked at me, and when she saw who hit her she looked annoyed.

"You again? You know what nerd. You're really getting on my nerves," She said, really annoyed.

I inhaled a long breath. "I'm sorry." I said to her.

I looked at Denise and grabbed her hands and continued walking. I heard Portia shouting.

"You b***h, come back here. I'm not yet done with you."

"Why does Portia seem so annoyed at you?" She asked me.

Well, I think I don't have a choice but to tell her what happened in the cafeteria. I told Denise about what happened, and she looked at me with pity. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt nervous.

"Be careful, Ryla."

What she said sent a cold vibe down to my spine, making my knees tremble.

"W-why?"

I tried so hard to calm down, but I failed. I'm so f*****g nervous.

"Portia is the queen bee, everything that she says must be obeyed. As far as I know, her father invested money here in our school, and her father is a businessman I don't know what business, but they do invest. And also, she has a huge crush on Mike, a handsome, rich, and the vocalist of the famous band here in Dela Paz National High School." He explained.

I didn't get all of what she was saying, because I was too focused on the name of the man. I felt my heart beat so fast... so damn fast. I don't know why but that name has a big impact on me.

He's not the one that I heard singing when I was in the hallway, right?

Who the f**k are you Mike?
