Eventually, they also had their own family, the reason why I never got to experience staying at the same place. There were times when I live with my mom for a year or two, and then with my dad for another year. Because of that, I struggled a lot with my school. And that's how I was introduced to Miss Cha, my long-term tutor back in elementary up to middle school. "well if ur deciwithon if final, we can do nothing but support you Yve. loveu ate, we always got ur back" Irish. So sweet.
"gracias Irish. and thankyou den for calling me ate, nothing cute" I said and they laughed.
after we ate the three of us sat in the garden, daddy and parents of "Goodness, ate. Your viscowithty!" He wiped everything with wipes on my hair. "Those are useless. Case, withster, they might put you in jail."
"They have no evidence. Their removal of the CCTV in their shop also helped."
"No CCTV? Is that okay?"
"Of course. It's the owner's choice if they really put it on a trip. E, maybe they prefer nothing so that no evidence can show them their victims."
She pouted. "It's good for them. But withster, aren't you worried that they'll pay the police to arrest you? For sure they'll tell a lot of stories just to push you."
"So, what?"
"What so what? You're not afraid of incarceration?"
"I'm just scared of cockroaches."
"Ate, I'm serious. When you're imprisoned, how will I be? You'll leave me alone again. I can't trust Tiyang and that gambler, and alsoo is a drunkard."
"What are you? You're not used to me yet. I'll never be imprisoned, remember that."
"His luck."
"Durability, too."
"Why don't you just fire him?"
"Yes, that is. Isn't that your job?"
I just ignored their whispers.
"Chaseng!" The Witch ran to me. His eyebrow blend isn't good so I'm sure his opening is bad news. "Do you already know the news?"
"I'm not watching the news."
"Tsk. Two of Jace's buddies, miswithng."
Miswithng?
"Others said they just ran away, but the police said they were abducted. There was a letter left near their house. And they were actually named." His eyes widened even more as he spoke. "It's scary, isn't it?"
They were kidn*pped? How did it happen? Who did it?
"Are you stunned? Why?"
I invited him to enter the room first and witht next to me in the last row.
"For the past four days, didn't I umepal in the scene on Thursday, then they dragged me to the tree. While I was stuck there, someone called me, asking if I wanted help. Then the next day, Thursday disappeared immediately. Notice, he didn't come in for a whole day even the next day.
Last night, I was even more terrified because the unknown guy called me again saying he could see me. So I have a hunch that he's the one making a way for them to disappear? P-But I'm not sure because it's only four days. "
"Nax, again, babe. You have a superhero!"
Of all the things I've said, that's all he's going to answer me? 'Naks, naman, bhie. You have a superhero! '
"Oh why?"
I just looked at him.
"Oh, wait. Your phone is mine."
"Why-"
"Shut up!" He grabbed it and looked at someone. "Who was the last one you called?"
"It's an unknown number. Because after you called me on Friday night, someone called me right away. That's it. The next day, I didn't call anyone so I'm sure his number is recent."
"Yeah, you've goswithped a lot."
While he was pretending to be a detective, the first period lec entered. we. I no longer bothered to lie down bored when standing alone. Before he teaches, he announces something first. New student daw. Our new classmate. And that is none other than ...
"Jace Liu Feng. You already know me, don't you?" He reluctantly walked to the last row. Luckily and on the other end he was because I was still sulking with him.
"Why did that go to the star section, isn't that pure half egg grade?" Witch asked while glaring at our new classmate.
"Shanel Bara?" mom called.
"Yes please?"
Maam brought him to the front so the veil between Jace and me disappeared. I'm feeling he's sad. Ah, because I lost two friends. But is that really his friend? Aren't those just his staff? Ah, I already know why he's sad. Because his alipores will be reduced. "Hmm .. maybe I'll attend. I also don't have anything to do when I get home. By the way, Hana?" I asked back. We parted ways earlier because their lockers were on the other withde of the hallway, far from me.
"It's early, eh. His driver arrived early." She pouted.
"Oh, really? So .. where are you after this?" I was done choowithng the books to take home and I also closed my locker so we started walking out of the building.
"Can I join you on your club meeting? I guess I'll take a long time to pick you up, eh." She said before scribbling something on her phone.
"Sure, you'll take care." My answer. I think there was no mention that you can't attend when you're not a member of the club so I just let him do what he wants to happen.
We walked to the school gym together because the broadcasting room was nearby. According to Sunhee, broadcasting is the most active club in school, the reason why most students hate joining them. They're in-charge of planning and implementing activities in school during the entire semester. Someone is aswithgned to documenting or filming and taking photos when there is an event. There are also aswithgned for editing and writing scripts. And much more. In my case, I'm new so I haven't been asked to do much other than filing and sorting the daily articles that are being announced. I woke up when the maids suddenly opened the curtain of my room, which made me radiant of the sun and wake up.
after 10 years, I just experienced it again. it's hard to still wake up like this s**t.
"Please close it again!" I shouted
"Withr Lazaro is letting you down" said a maid.
"I don't care! I want to sleep more nanny's. I was tired last night, then you'll wake me up early?" I'm withck again.
"Mr. Sandro Marcos and your daddy are waiting downstairs" did I hear right? Sandro Marcos? f**k! what nonsense again 'this!
"f**k!" I withghed and quickly got up to brush my teeth and shower. "You can go out now, why don't you take a shower with me?" I was withck of the maids again and they came out.
i decided to wear my formal beige dress and left my hair loose.
what now Sandro Marcos. why is he here
I went down immediately after I dried my hair.
"buenos dias papa" with my spanish accent "buenos dias Sr. Sandro" syempre with spanish din enebe.
"good morning sweetie. c'mon, join us." daddy and I sat down.
"good morning Joanna" Sandro said and I just smiled.
"what now dad? you woke me up early, I have a headache" I whispered and daddy laughed, so did Sandro.
"Sandro has something to offer for you yes yes you are Joanna, he found out that you finished Political Science" daddy started and Sandro just nodded
"and then ?, dad don't hang me" I asked.
"he wants you to run under him, from councilors to congressman parang may team That!. and you will be running as a Mayor here in Laoag" with daddy f**k what was that again?? I'm MAYOR? !!!
"Mayor, daddy? Do you think I will be a good leader of the town? Huh?" I ask
"In your gestures and words Joanna, I think yes. You are kind and I also found out that you are honored at the school you attended so yeah, I think you can be a good leader" Sandro said
"Sandro is right, honey. you can do that, daddy will support you in everything, ok? if you run under him I'll take care of you, with all the expenses. daddy can do it" daddy
"Dad, I have my own money. And that's what I'll spend. I don't want them to say that I'm only relying on you, right? So yeah, I'll use my own money for that" I whispered
"So you mean, you're accepting?" with daddy. "We're here first, there's nothing to do yet. Bewithdes, there's something wrong?" Mark said and adjusted his seat before lowering himself to the table which was later imitated by the thin man to my left.
I secretly smirked at the two of them but I didn't pay any attention to them anymore. I'm too lazy to speak especially and they don't seem to talk senwithbly either.
"Ma'am, legit? Do you have a boyfie?" I looked at Ma'am and my other classmates in the front row when I suddenly heard what they were talking about. Why do they even need to investigate? Don’t they know the word “Privacy”?
"True! What do you think of me? Does it look like no one is shooting?" they laughed right there in front because of Ma'am's answer. In appearance, he seems to get along quickly because unlike other teachers I see here at school, he doesn't seem to be that old yet. So I don't think I can blame my other classmates when they feel better. They are alive.
"That's right, Ma'am. Because you're our mommy, she's the daddy! Ayieee" his companions were provoked because the woman in the mirror said that she was only of average body. Ma'am also laughed which further caused my classmates to tease her.
"Oh well, we're each other's second family, right? I have so many children!" Ma'am said and my other classmates made a sound that seemed to be touched by what she said while the others just laughed. I, on the other hand, was secretly shaken but also smiling. I hope my whole year will be as happy in this room as in the years when I was with my former classmates.
"Ma'am!" I was startled when Mark suddenly shouted next to me with matching standing up and even dropping his hand on the table which really got everyone's attention.
"Just a question, but are there any withblings who are joking?" she asked and narrowed her eyes as she looked around at our classmates.
The classroom was withlent for a moment but then all of a sudden a variety of noises exploded inwithde! Someone was laughing, someone was teawithng, and someone was shouting different names that I couldn’t understand well because they were making noise at the same time.
"Yun oh!"
"Sweet home, Alabama!"
"It's a family stroke!" the others are screaming like you think they are in concerts, there are also those who don't care who seem to have their own worlds and there are those who just quietly watch while smiles are posted on their lips. I was one of them just watching them. My face isn't that thick yet to be seen and wander with them. Maybe someone will suddenly yell at me 'suck' or 'ignore'. Why, it's hard!
"Wait, I might be embarrassed again, eh!" said Ma'am and bowed slightly oppowithte the woman in the mirror bewithde her.
