CHAPTER 2

—    

I yawned as I sat down at the bed, I fell asleep after Dysthe left my room, my eyes darted on my phone when it rang. 

:Hello? Kyla?

[Hmm, you just woke up?  I called you last night for how many times, you slept early? I went home before twelve,]

I smiled, she never forget to inform me, I covered my mouth as I yawned again. I still feel sleepy but I have to get up, I have to be productive. 

:I talked to Dysthe last night, it took an hour so after our conversation I fell asleep, by the way, do you have a hangover or you didn't drink last night?

[I didn't drink, we still have a class to day I don't want to sleep in the class,]

I chuckled, the last time she slept on the class the professor caught her, she feels so shy and embarrassed  that time. 

I smirked at her. 

:You learned your lesson, don't you?

[Don't make me remember that, Dems. I really felt humiliated, I regret drinking that night, I really got wasted and my head is damn aching,]

:That's your fault, Kyla. I told you not to get yourself drunk but you didn't listen to me.

[Oh, yeah whatever, Dems. By the way, I heard that this day is the distribution of our grades,]

:I know, do you have a plan after class?

[None, why? Do you plan to go somewhere?]

:I just plan to eat in a restaurant since you and I has the same schedule today, you're half day too, right?

[Yap, Dems. Okay, see you later! It's already eight o'clock, you have to get up now and prepare,]

I nod my head unconsciously. 

:Okay, I'll go and take a bath, see you in school!

I said and ended the call. 

After thirty minutes I'm already done, I don't like putting anything to my face, and besides, I'm really a fast person. I don't like wasting my time for nonsense things.

I went down, I saw my parents and Nathan, Dysthe is not around yet, I sighed and enter the kitchen. Mommy glanced at me and smiled, I went to her and kissed her cheeks.

"Good morning, Mom." I said softly at her. 

"Good morning, Jacinthe," mommy said and kissed my forehead. 

I look at dad and walked towards him, I kissed her cheeks too, "Morning, dad," I uttered. 

He nods at me, "Morning," he said plainly. 

I pouted my lips and and went to Nathan, "Morning, brother," I said to him but he just glanced at me and didn't answer. 

Tss, like father like son, Nathan really inherit everything to dad! I shrugged and went to my seat. 

I was just eating silently while dad and Nathan is talking about something, I'm not listening  cause they're just talking  about law and businesses, mommy is just eating quiescently, too. 

"I heard Helena has a plan to take law before but Uncle Rich didn't let her so she just took it two years ago," I simple glanced at Nathan when he said that. 

Dad's forehead wrinkle, "Helena is studying engineering, right?" dad asked. 

Nathan nod, "She is, I just can't understand why Uncle Rich didn't let her, Helena can be a great lawyer, Dad. We all know how different she is, she have a classy aura that can intimidate anyone in just one stare," he said. 

Dad smirked, "I know that, Nathan. But it's too dangerous for her to be a lawyer, like what have you said, she has a different aura, sometimes you have to have avoid things that can possibly wrecked you," he said. 

Nathan shook his head, "I hope we're not wasting her capability, dad, she's a great example for a Homer, " 

"You don't have to worry for that, she can always find a way to something she wants," dad said with certainty in his voice. 

I sighed, should I consider myself lucky that I wasn't one of my cousin that was just forced to the course they doesn't like?

I pursed my lips, I thought Helena really want to be an engineering, it seems like she's a great in adapting new environment, she can adjust so easily. 

"Demetra," I turn to dad when he called me.

"Yes, dad?" I asked. 

"Where's your sister, Dysthe?" he asked, I bit my lips. 

"She's still asleep, I think. Should I wake her up? She's tired in her school last night maybe she's just resting," I said, I swallowed hardly and look at my mom, she stood up. 

"I'm gonna wake her up," mom said and smiled sweetly at us. 

My mom and I shared a knowing look, I sighed in relief. 

"Okay," dad said, I watched mommy as she went out in the kitchen. I moved my gaze when I felt Nathan is staring at me.

"What's the matter?" I asked, he's looking at me intently. 

"She went home late last night, where did she go?" Nathan asked, my lips parted at him, how could I forgot that Nathan is just a strict like our dad!

"She went to her classmate's house, they had a research paper for some case," I said, I'm just thankful that I didn't stutter as I lied. 

Lying is not really my thing but I always end up doing it.

I glanced at dad and he's looking at me too,  I bit my inside cheeks as I felt nervous, I felt like they can distinguish if I'm lying especially dad. 

"What time did she went home, Nathan?" dad asked coldly.

"It's around nine thirty in the evening," Nathan replied. 

Dad stares at me, "Are you trying to cover up your sister, Demetra Jacinthe," dad said as his voice raised a bit, I closed my eyes and held my hands together. 

I shook my head, "No, dad, I'm t-telling you the truth," I uttered to him. 

"Then why are you stuttering? and you're avoiding my gaze? where did you learn to lie, huh, Demetra?" I pursed my lips and look at dad. 

He's scary, I shook my head, "I'm not... lying," I whispered. 

"Do you want me to ground—"

"Stop scolding your daughter in front of the food, Jonathan. She's saying the truth, Dysthe texted me yesterday that she's with her classmate's house." mom said and sat in her chair.

"I know our daughter, Danica. I can sense when they're lying or not," dad said emphatically. 

"Demetra gets easily nervous when you're mad, Hon. She's not lying and Dysthe can't eat with us, she's sick. I'll just bring her a food after we eat so spare Demetra from your accusation," mom said and looks at me. 

I bit my lips and smiled at her, "Thank you," I mouthed at her. She beamed at me and shook her head. 

After I finished my food I bid my goodbye to them, I went outside and saw Nathan standing and leaning on the side wall, "What?" I asked. 

He looks at me intently, "You really did try to fool, dad, huh. What a nice try, Demetra." Nathan said. 

I squints at him, "What are you talking about, Nathan?"

"Guess what?" he asked boredly. 

My forehead wrinkle at him, "What are you up to, Kuya?" I asked emphatically. 

He clenched his jaw, "Dad told me to drive you in your school because he's confiscating your car," 

My eyes widened, "What?" 

"Next time... execute your plan properly, I should be studying right now instead of driving you in your school, you're not pre-school anymore," he said in a very insulting manner. 

I glared at him, "Why do you speak like that, Nathan. I'm your sister, try to be nice," I gritted my teeth. 

"You're my sister so try to fit yourself to that," he said rudely and went out, I closed my eyes tightly, I don't really get him sometimes. 

He's my brother but I'm not close to him, I never had a chance to talk to him like a usual brother and sister relationship, I shrugged and decided to follow him.

I went inside the car, in the front seat, we're just quiet the whole time, I look outside and watch the road as we he drive. 

"From now on, I'll fetch you and Dysthe after class, you're not allowed to go anywhere unless dad gave his permission," he said. We're waiting for red light, I shook my head. 

"Okay," I replied, I don't want to argue and besides, I always go straight at home... but Dysthe, I' m sure she complained about this. 

He stopped in a parking lot of the school, I immediately went out without saying anything. I wander and saw Kyla leaning on her car, her brow furrowed when her gazed to Nathan's car as it drove away. 

"Where's your car?" she asked and clung in my arms.

"I'm grounded," I said and shrugged. 

She stopped and so I did, I look at her, "What?" I asked. 

"It's about your sister, again? How many times do you have to be—"

"She's my sister, Kyla. And it's not her fault, it was me," I said and smiled at her. 

She rolled her eyes on me, "I know you will say that, Dems. What do I expect, right?" 

I chuckled, "Don't be grumpy, I'm okay. It's not a big deal to me," I told her. 

"Hexon's birthday is coming, hmm, you're not going to attend?" she asked as we walked in hallway.

"I'll try, it's next week, right? Maybe I'm allowed to go out that time," 

"Hexon's girlfriend broke up with him," Kyla uttered and laughed. 

I chuckled, "For the nth time, I can't count how many times they broke up and get back to each other," I said, Hexon's relationship is on and off, they will fight and break, then afterwards, they'll get back to each other. 

"I won't be shock if next day they're already okay," Kyla added, I nod at her. 

"I heard there's a modelling competition this month, you're in?" I asked, she loves modelling and she's perfect for it.

"Yes, I already signed up yesterday," she said and grinned at me. 

"What's the concept? The competition and the theme last year was a blast," I said as I remember how fun it is the last school year when we were in senior high. 

"Tss, yes though I didn't win but Lsarel deserves it, she really slayed it," she said and pouted. 

I poked her cheeks, "It was good a fight, Kyla. You killed it, too, and the outweigh of the score is just a 0.2," It was really intense, they're both good at it. 

She smiled at me, "I know, but I can say that she deserves it, she's a nice person and very soft-spoken," 

I nods at her, "That's true, do you think she'll join the competition?" I asked. 

"I think so, she's always available in every modelling competition," 

"You and Lsarel is just exchanging crowns every year, your not giving chance to other," I jokingly said. 

She laughed, "I heard there's a transferee in Tourism, she's into modelling too, and she's really beautiful," 

"What does she look-like?" I asked. 

"I don't know, I haven't seen her yet, I just described her the way they does," she said and chuckled. 

I face palm, "You're always updated in every gossip, Kyla." 

She make a face, "Of course, I know a lot of issues but I wouldn't tell it to you cause you're gonna say that, 'I don't care about them' line," 

I pushed her playfully, "Shut up, Ky." 

We were laughing when someone gets on our way, I look at the guy in front of us, it's the man yesterday. 

"What do you need, Beous," Kyla said and raised her brow. She knows him?

He smirked, "Don't worry, Zasem. I don't need anything to you," he said and turns to me, "but I need something to her," 

"You're being playful, Dizen Beous. Don't try to mess with Dems or else," 

The man named Dizen chuckled, "She's my type but I don't like her," he said and smirked at me. 

I look at him boredly, "So, what do you want now?" I asked. 

"Your autograph," he said and lend a tee shirt, I look at him confusingly. Out attention turns to Kyla when she laughed, it echoed on the corridor. 

"What the f**k, the great Dizen Beous is asking for an autograph," she said loudly, I look around when some of the student gasped and start to talk about it. 

"f**k, shut the hella up, Kyla," Dizen said emphatically as his face turned red. I pursed my lips and sighed sharply, this is so embarrassing for damn sake. 

"What happened to the, 'I won't chase a girl?', change of mind, Dizen?" Kyla said naughtily, 

I pinched her arm and widened my eyes on her, she bit her lips and laughed even more. 

"I'm gonna tape your damn mouth, Zasem. Damn it, " Dizen said and grabbed the tee shirt in my hand and walked out.

When he was gone, I look at Kyla whose still laughing right now, when she noticed my glare she immediately zip her mouth, "I'm sorry, Dems. He's my friend, he meant no harm," she said and chuckled. 

I glared at her, "You're such a naughty girl, Kyla. You got him mad," I stated. 

She shook her hand, "It's my payback, he always annoys me when we were younger," she said and shrugged. 

"He's your childhood friend?" 

"Yap, do you remember when I told you... that my first crush rejected me? That's him," she said and made a face. 

My lips parted at what she said, "Really? But you said that he's not a good looking guy," I muttered. 

She stares at me intently and slowly, a smile crept into her lips, "Are you saying that he's handsome? Do you like—" 

I hissed at her, "No, but I'm not a liar, he has a look, Kyla Zasem," I said and rolled my eyes on her. 

"Tss, he's ugly in my eyes, how dare him reject me! I was so cute back then, Dems!" she exclaimed. 

I laughed at her, "If he didn't then you wouldn't be able to meet Wildem," I gave her a knowing look. 

"Yah, right. But still, he's a jerk until now," Kyla mumbled. 

I checked my watch, "It's already quarter to nine,  I will be late in my first class, let's meet later in the cafeteria," I said and bid a goodbye to her, we parted ways. 

I went to my room and sat in my chair, I was listening when someone poked my arm, I look at the girl beside me, "Hmm?"

She smiled, "Is that true that you're Dizen's girlfriend?" she said. 

My brow furrowed at what she said, girlfriend? People are really great at making up some stories. 

"No," I replied nicely and went back to listening, I don't entertain question that's not worth to talked about. 

After the dismissal of the second subject I went directly to the cafeteria to wait at Kyla, I'm seating on my favorite spot when someone approached me... Liesandra Fernandez. 

She smiled at me, "Can I seat here?" she asked politely. 

I pursed my lips, "My best friend will come her in a minute, ahm, that's her chair," I said in a very nice way, I don't want to be rude. 

"Oh, I'm sorry." she said and look down, I bit lips as I stared at her. She really look nice, I closed my eyes as I remember what Dysthe said, avoid her. 

"You can seat there," I pointed the available table and chair near at us. 

She nods at me and smile, "Okay, thank you," she bow her head a little before she walked towards the table. 

I'm just watching her when Kyla came up in a sudden, "What are you looking at?" she asked as she sat down. 

She followed my gaze and her forehead wrinkle, "Liesandra Fernandez?" she asked and turns at me. 

I nod at her, "She looks lonely," I said. 

Kyla frowned at me, "No one wants to be friend with her because of her sister, Liemira," she said as she glanced at her again. 

"Her sister is a b***h," I said and shrugged. 

Kyla sighed and sip on her tea, I ordered it before she came, "A bad b***h, I remember what she did at Dysthe, the audacity,"

"Dysthe told me to stay away from her," 

Kyla smirked, "I will tell you the same thing, you know, Liemira is really nice at first but then, it's really hard to hide your true color," 

"But...isn't it unfair in Liesandra's part? She's not her sister, she could be a nice person, we shouldn't be a judgemental," 

Kyla rolled her eyes on me, "I don't want to judge her too, but I don't want to risk it, you're too nice to be betrayed," 

I sighed, my brow furrowed when the students start to gossip, our attention turn to the group of girls in the entrance of cafeteria. 

Liemira and her friends. 

Kyla and I shared a knowing look, "Why is she here? There building has their own cafeteria, right?" the girl in the next table said.

Kyla shook her head, "She really puts an effort to come here, so it means it's important," Kyla said, I look at her and shrugged. 

"There building is too far from us, maybe she went her for her sister," I uttered and continue eating my food. 

We were just eating when the students shouted, "What the hell!" Kyla said as she look somewhere. 

I gasped as my gaze turns to Liesandra's table, Liemira is pulling her sister's hair, a lot of students are just watching, "What the freaking hell," Kyla murmured. 

Liemira throw all Liesandra's food in the table, "You deserve all of this, b***h!" Liemira said as she poured the water in her sister. 

I clenched my jaw and stood up, my chair created a loud noise so I literally got their attention.

I don't like it, she's being too much, this is the first time I actually see her doing this, so Dysthe is right, huh. 

"Stop creating a scene here," I said emphatically. 

Liemira smirked at me, "Wow, what a brave woman, Demetra Homer," she said sarcastically. 

I pursed my lips, "You're not in your territory, Liemira. Stop acting like a b***h and get your shits together," I said calmly. 

"Who the f**k do you think you are?" Gesder said, one of Liemira's friend. 

She took a step to me but she stopped when Kyla stood up and blocked her way, "I think you're messing with a wrong person," Kyla said coldly. 

Gesder pushed Kyla, "Do you think you can scare me, Kyla? Think again," Gesder uttered and smirked. 

I held Kyla's arm to stop her, "We're not here to fight, Kyla." I whispered to her. 

She glanced at me and clenched her jaw, "Fine," she said and closed her eyes tightly. 

I turn to Gesder, "Just leave this cafeteria, we won't say anything about this," I said. 

Liemira walked towards me, "I don't care if you complaint about this, as if they can do something," she said and held my arm. Kyla immediately reacted but she was blocked by Gesder and Kriel.

I stares at her, "Let me go," I said frigidly, her grip on my arms tightened.

She smirked, "What can you do, Demetra? You talked a lot," she said and pushed me, my back hit the table, I groaned. 

"What the f**k!" Kyla yelled and tried to reach me but they were holding her. 

I closed my eyes tightly, "Don't act like a strong woman if you can't even defend yourself, " she said as she pulled my hair. 

"Stop this, Liemira!" Liesandra shouted, she's crying.

Liemira glanced at her, "Shut up, I'm not done with you," she said to her sister. 

"Let me go," I told her. 

She smirked, "You better learn your lesson, hmm," she muttered in my ears. 

I was about to answer when someone pulled Liemira's hair, she was able to let go of hair because of that. 

My eyes widened as I saw Dysthe, she's mad, she's... damn it! 

"Let me go! Who the f**k are you!" Liemira shouted, she can't see Dysthe face, she was facing the floor as Dysthe held her down. 

"Who gave you the rights to hurt my sister," Dysthe said emphatically, this is not good. 

"Oh, Dysthe, long time no talk, huh, let me go, b***h!" Liemira exclaimed as she pushed Dysthe. 

The table turn upside down as they were bumped into it, "Dysthe stop it," I said, I was about to run to her but someone held my arm. 

Dizen. 

"Don't, you'll just get hurt," he said, he turns at them. 

My attention went back to Liemira when she screamed, my eyes turned wide as Dysthe punched her face, "Try to mess with my sister again and I'll send you to funeral," her voice sent chills to me.

Dysthe turns at Gesder and Kriel, they're ready to fight her, I was about to stop them when Kyla smirked at Dysthe and gave her a knowing look, "s**t," I  mumbled. 

Kyla grabbed Gesder top and pushed it hard, she kicked Gesder and slap her, while Dysthe just kicked Kriel stomach real hard. 

"Your sister is bad-ass," Dizen said while looking at the mess.

"We're doomed," I whispered. 

"f**k, stop fighting Gesder! You f*****g numb!" Liemira said.

Liemira and her friends went out but she said shouted something, "This is your day, Dysthe Jacintha! Wait for my payback!" 

Dysthe chortled playfully, "I got my luck, Liemira. I'll make sure the next time we'll get into fight, I'm gonna send you in a St. Peter," she fired back. 

I went to Dysthe but before I can reached her, she kicked the table in front of her, "Are you all blind?!" Dysthe shouted. She's referring to all the students here.

"Dysthe..." I said and held her arm. 

"Y'all saw someone being beaten up and all you did was to watch, where's your damn conscience? Y'all are damn coward," she said and turns to me. 

I thought she's gonna scold me but worry consumed her face as looks at me, "Are you okay?" she asked worriedly. 

"I'm fine," I smiled at her, she sighed sharply. 

"Please, Dems. Don't yourself into trouble, I rushed in here when someone told me that Liemira is hitting on you," she stated. 

"I just want—"

"Let's go and talk somewhere," she said and held my hand.

She glanced at Kyla, "Do you want to come?" she asked. 

Kyla shook her head, "No, I'm gonna fix this messed," she said and smiled to Dysthe. 

"Put a cold a water on your back," Kyla said as she looks at me, I nod at her and smiled. 

Dysthe and I went to the gymnasium, I sat on the chair as I watched her standing in front of me.

"I'm so sorry for the trouble," I mumbled. 

"I understand, Dems. I'm just calming myself... I still want to beat her, no one is allowed to touch you, not even the tip of your finger," she said emphatically.

 I chuckled at her, "I'm fine, Dysthe. I just can't stand seeing someone being bullied, I want to fix it in a proper way but she became aggressive," 

Dysthe shook her head, "What you did is right, Dems. We shouldn't just watch when someone is being abuse, but I think you need to know how to defend yourself, too," she said. 

I pouted at her, "I know how to fight, dad trained us," I muttered at her. 

"I know, you can even punch Nathan's face if you want, don't be too nice, Dems. If someone hurts you physically then don't hesitate to fight back, it's never wrong to defend yourself," 

A smile crept into my lips, "It's so you, Dysthe. I'll gonna take note of that, but, why are you here? Mom said you're sick, " I asked. 

She smirked at me, "Mom is always on our side, Dems. I want to apologize, dad confiscate your car because of me," she said. 

I chuckled at her, "It's fine with me. Dysthe. You know me," 

"Tss, you want to eat in our cafeteria? I'm sure they're still fixing the damages in your building," 

"Your building is three blocks away from us, I'll be late in my next class if I will eat there," 

She nods at me, "What time is your class?" 

"One thirty," I told her, she smirked and held my hands. 

"We still have thirty minutes, let's go," 

I shrugged and let her pulled me, when we went inside the cafeteria everyone is just quiet and reading. 

"That's how law students look-like," she said as she ordered a food.

My forehead wrinkle when I saw the food in wrapped, "We're not gonna eat here?" I asked. 

She shook her head, "You'll be late, I just want to buy you meal, eat it while your class is still on-going," she said and puts the food inside my back.

After that, I went to my class and eat peacefully. I smiled. This is not a bad day after all.
