Chapter 11

"Hurry up Selena. Your Tito Caspher is here." My mother shouted.

"I'll be there mom, just fixing my hair." I said walking downstairs.

"The grey one is for you, the blue is for Yuri and the violet one is for Carylle." My mother said referring to the lunch box.

I nodded and kissed her cheeks. I went inside the car beside Carylle and waved bye to my mother.

"We will go now Ate." Tito Caspher said.

"Ok, take care."

When we reached the Science High School Tito Caspher gave us money. I don't know what this is for but I'm thankful though.

I sighed and waved bye at my uncle. Yuri wear his cap again and snaked his arms on my shoulder and Carylle's shoulder.

"This is nice." He whistled.

"Because there are a lot of chix out there." Carylle laughed.

"I'll keep my eye on both of you. You should behave." Yuri smirked.

"I'll keep an eye on you Yuri." I laughed.

We entered our classroom and put are bags in there. We need to line for the flag ceremony, I just put my phone and wallet on my pocket.

"Good morning Sci High kids!" The teacher announced.

"Today is the first day of school! I'm glad that no one got late. I hope you'll enjoy your Sci High journey Everyone clapped their hands and starts the flag ceremony.

Thank God I'm not that tall that's why I'm at the first part, the sun didn't burn my skin. Carylle is the third person on the front and Yuri is on the last line. I'm sure the sun is burning his skin right now.

When the flag ceremony is over a teacher said something again.

"Good morning Sci High."

"Good morning teachers, good morning students have a nice day to everyone!"

And they all clapped their hands, I didn't know that there is something like that here.

We went to our classroom and I find a seat. I sit beside Yuri and beside Yuri is Carylle. I hope the teacher would not change the seating arrangement.

"Good morning class, so here's is the unending introduce yourself!" The teacher announced.

My classmates laughed and clapped their hands.

"So here's the trick. Say your name, age, talent and a six word story that will describe your life." Mrs. Salazar said.

"You first." She pointed the girl on the first line.

"I'm Ferry Rantarezia, 17, I like to dance and sing. Life is full of red colors." She giggled.

I saw Yuri smirked when he heard the girl talk. Maybe she's the red riding hood girl we met on the examination day.

"I'm Aya Scartiza, 18, I love to sing. A music feeds my entire soul."

Looks like she really love music. It feeds my entire soul too. The teacher pointed Carylle and my cousin stood up like she's so ready for this.

"She's always ready." Yuri chuckled.

"Yeh she's Carylle after all."

"I'm Carylle Santiago, 17, I love to swim. Books gives life to our sad heart." She smiled.

"You next." The teacher pointed Yuri. I wonder what's his 6 word story.

"I'm Yuri Santiago, 17. I love to play basketball and chess. Ma'am can I make it a 7 word story?" He asked.

Our teacher nodded and Yuri chuckled.

"When life fuck you hard, moan harder."

Our classmate clapped their hands and laughed. Our teacher shrugged her shoulders and signed Yuri to seat down.

"That's bad." I said.

"But bad things makes us happy."

"I'm Selena Portia, 17. I love to play volleyball and to play some instruments like violin, guitar and piano. I'm in love with number, like Ciro." I smiled.

"Is zero really a number or it's a person?" Our teacher giggled.

"It's a person Ma'am!" Yuri shouted.

Looks like our classmates like Yuri so much. The introduce yourself is finished that's why our teacher introduce the school rules.

Our grades for the minor subject must be 83 and above while 85 and above for the major subjects like math and science.

The day went well, our teachers introduce their selves and the things that we will need for their class. I admire this school so much, the facilities and teachers are good.

"Maybe we'll go to the mall later." Carylle said.

"Ok, we'll just eat?" I asked.

"Yeah and hang out with Ate Kzarina. What do you think Yuri?"

A couple of seconds ago Yuri didn't respond. I looked at him and saw him looking at that Ferry. He's so whipped.

"Yuri!" Carylle snapped.

"Hey, I'm sorry. What is it again?"

Carylle shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes. Maybe she's pissed because she said a lot.

"You should ask her to go out. You're watching het for almost a day now." I smirked.

"Nah, it's just she's beautiful." He smiled still looking at Ferry.

I finished my food and put my lunch box on my bag. Carylle enjoys the food while Yuri is enjoying the scene.

I plugged in my earphones and about to choose a song when someone called me.

I opened my cam and fix my hair.

"Hey, how's first day?" He asked.

"I'm enjoying it. This school is great." I giggled.

"That's good."

"Where are you?" I asked because I can't see his classmates.

"I'm at the clinic." He sighed.

"Why? What happened? Are you ok?" I asked worriedly.

"Nahh I'm good. It's just, Hazel came here and she got played by the bullies."

I got shocked when he turn the camera to Hazel who is using her phone and looking at Ciro. Why she's there? She have a class today.

"Why she's there? She have a class." I said.

"I don't know, she just appeared here and looked for me." He sighed.

"Is she ok?" I asked.

"Yep, she's fine now but she needs to rest. Her brother will pick her up later."

That's good to hear. I wonder why she's there.

"Look Ciro this shot is cute." I heard Hazel said at the background.

"Nah delete that."

"But this is so cute. You can make this your display photo in Facebook or in Instagram." She giggled.

"Ciro let's facetime later. We have a class." I faked a smile.

"Ok I'll wait for later then."

"I love you." I said.

He was about to say something when I saw Hazel got her phone. She looked at the screen and waved her hand.

"Goodbye, Ciro will take care of me." She said and end the call.

I'm pissed, that's not the right thing to do. I plugged out my earphones and just sighed. Our professor entered the room and we greeted him good afternoon.

"We need to do an activity by pair." He said touching our draw lots with our surname on it.

"I hope I'll be pair with any of you two." I sighed.

"You ok?" Carylle asked.

I smiled and give her a thumbs up.

"Yuri Santiago and Ferry."

I saw Yuri smiled when he is paired with that red girl, I bet he's going to treat us later.

"Carylle and Gio."

Carylle sighed and went beside Gio. I don't know who he is but he's handsome and he looks so mature.

"Selena Portia and Prince Audenzia."

I fix my bag when he sat beside me. He's a moreno guy, his pointed nose and perfect eyes matched his kissable lips and a clenching jaw.

"I'm Prince." He handed me his hand.

"Selena." I said.

"So you're a newbie right?" He asked.

"Yep, how about you?"

"I studied here since grade 7."

I nodded and listen to the professor. He said this will be the seating arrangement in his class. This is for the making of our thesis.

"I hate research." I sighed.

"I love it." He smiled.

"I find it boring, hard and not interesting." I said honestly.

"You will start to appreciate research when you love your topic."

I nodded and smiled at me. Maybe he's really good about this thing, thank God I won't get a low grade.

"I'll dm you later to fix our title. There's a lot of assignments too that's why I'll dm you late." He explained.

"Ok, I'll wait for it. I usually sleep around 12." I said.

"I'll dm you at 10 so you can sleep early. Also the classes starts early so you need to rest."

"You're such an angel." I laughed.

"A handsome angel." He smirked.

"Looks like there's a hard wind coming." I joked.

"Relax, it's just me."

We share thoughts about the topic until the bell rang. He's actually good at communicating and I'm enjoying research because of his talks.

"I'll go now, wait for my dm." He said.

"Ok I'll wait." I smiled.

"I'll try to make it earlier so you can sleep early."

"Thank you." I smiled and waved goodbye.

"How's the lover boy?" Carylle laughed teasing Yuri.

"It's awkward but she's cute." He chuckled.

"How about you Carylle?" I asked.

"I don't like him. He's not focused and always laugh. He's crazy." She rolled her eyes.

"The more you hate the more you love." Yuri and I shouted.

We went to Tito Caspher's car and decided not to go to the mall because of our assignments. I waved bye and entered our house.

I miss Kuya Anthony, I miss he's teasing smile. I hope he'll go home soon after his studies.

"Mom I'm going to leave the lunch boxes here." I shouted.

"Ok, your food is ready. Sleep early." She shouted.

Maybe she's taking a bath. I grabbed my food and put it on my bedroom. I placed my bag on the floor and took a hot shower.

I ate and get ready for my assignments, this is so many. I drink my milk and ate my chocolate to boost myself. I was about to finish my last assignment when I saw the box that Ciro gave me.

I opened the envelope and saw the letter for day 3.

Hi baby girl, I miss you. Hope you enjoy your first day. I'll come back home next month. Wait for me ok? I love you.

I finished my last assignment and decided to call Ciro.

"Why do you call?" I was shocked when I saw Hazel answered the call.

It's already 9:00 in the evening why is she there at Ciro and Liam's condo unit?

"Where's Ciro?" I asked.

She was about to answer when Ciro grabbed his phone.

"I'm sorry baby, I just left my phone on my table."

"Why is she there?" I asked.

"She's going to sleep here. Tristan couldn't pick her up." He said.

I nodded and faked a smile. I wish I was there too but I'm not.

"Ok, I'll sleep then bye." I said and end the call.

I received a dm from Prince.

From: Prince Hey, facetime I opened my face time and started to call him, he answered it immediately.

"Are you ok?" He asked.

"Yes I'm fine. Let's talk about the topic." I faked a smile.

"You didn't look ok. We will talk about our topic tomorrow morning." He said.

"But we need to finish it—"

"I can manage." He cut me off.

I smiled and nodded. I'm happy that's he's a good classmate.

"Now get some rest and we will talk tomorrow. Goodnight." He smiled.

"Thank you, goodnight." I said and turned off the call.

I texted Ciro before I sleep.

To: my super-duper, ultra-mega handsome big brat I love you.
