Chapter 3 3

IT'S BEEN a week since I last saw him. I was so shocked but I kept my mouth shut and just focused on studying for our upcoming prelim exams. I hate procrastinating so I studied in advance, I'm not like Phillip who is a natural inborn genius so he has the guts to skip dad's tutorial.

Morning came and I had done my daily routine so I went downstairs to have my breakfast. I saw Phillip and Dad talking about cases and stuff while Mum's preparing for our breakfast.

Dad doesn't want us to skip every meal because it's important. Of course, as an aspiring doctor I should know that. I ain't conscious with my body but I know how to control and when to stop.

"Phelli how's your last senior year?" Dad asked me.

Dad's always the one to ask us regarding on our studies while Mum never cared for it, it was always Dad who thinks about us.

I don't know, I think our grandparents just forced them to get married but seeing Dad who's looking at my mum lovingly, I have the conclusion that it was one-sided love.

"It's okay Dad, I'm coping up with everything," I answered.

"Don't believe her Dad, she always topped all of their exams and activities," Phillip interrupted while munching.

"Phillip your mouth is full," Mum said emphatically.

Dad smiled at me, "That's good keep doing that but never stress yourself okay?"

"Yes Dad." I answered

I looked at the time and it's almost 7:30 that's why I hurriedly finished my food and grab Phillip's collar while bidding goodbye to our parents.

I can't just let Phillip over eat because he's the one driving for us to school. And we took different strand, he's on HUMMS while I'm on STEM.

Arriving at school, Phillip made sure I entered our classroom before going to his class. Even though Phillip and I were always fighting, he never left me the same with Kuya Riel and Kuya Rick.

When I entered, Mona immediately greeted me with her boyfriend, Ajax which is also our classmate. They have been together for almost two years.

Hopefully all because I have never experienced being courted by anyone and I know why, they are afraid to face Phillip's temper.

"Phelli, are you done with Physics? I forgot to answer it yesterday because you already know-" I cutted her off.

"Yes, I know it was your anniversary yesterday but I still hope you did the activity before going to your date. You two are still achievers."

I said while handling my binder that contains all of our activities. Mona grinned seeing my action that made me roll my eyes.

Only me and Mona are classmates while Alani took Tourism and Peaches is still on her last Junior year.

Luckily for him, I'm not selfish unlike other achievers who don't help because they want to have it all by their selves, that's right because they worked hard unlike me who preferred to help but not to the extent that they will depend on me. I don't tolerate indolent people.

Our teacher came and we checked all of our activities, gave us a final project so we won't be disturb during our final exams. We're graduating and that's just normal for us to be busy.

Other students named us geniuses, they are afraid to STEM because those who take it are said to be smart and that's an absurd mindset.

Seriously, we studied to learn not because we're already geniuses. If you're already a genius then don't study anymore. Even if others say they are smart, there are still things they don't know.

After all the class ended, I started to put my things on my bag and readied myself to get home.

While walking on the hallway, someone called my name and from the voice itself, I already recognized who it was.

"Phelli! You're just like us," Peaches said and held both of my hands.

"Where?" I asked while looking at her puzzled.

"On the field Phillip and Ajax are playing with the other students." she said that made my heartbeat fast.

Sh*t! Phillip will play differently! Jusko!

Peaches and I ran to the field and I was right they were playing another game. I even saw Ajax punching the other student's guts while Phillip's kicking the other one. There are five of them but the three are already asleep.

"What the f*cking f*ck are you doing Phillip ?!" I shouted from where I'm standing.

His eyes are cold but when he looked at me, it softened.

"F*ck! It hurts!"

Phillip complained as I cleaned his wound. We're here in his car because Dad can't see it.

"Why do you like crazy heads?" I asked once pressing the cotton on his wound.

His face contorted because of pain.

"That b*stard wants to court you, I said it's not allowed so he challenged us to a fight. If we lose, he will court you," he explained.

"Why did Ajax join?"

"Someone raped Mona," he said.

After cleaning his wounds I ordered him to drive us home so that he can rest and I still need to study.

When I got home, I went straight to my room to rest. I also cleaned myself before jumping on my bed but I was interrupted by a knock.

"Phelli dear," Mum called.

I stood up and went to open the door. I saw mum on her black fitted dress paired with a black 4-inched stilettos.

Yeah sure my mum can slay.

"What's with the get up mum?" I asked her.

She glanced at her expensive watch and then looked at me. "We'll be attending someone's party," she said that I answered with a nod.

I was about to turn my back against her when she spoke again.

"We dear, now get ready your Tito will drive you there," she added and turned her back.

I stilled with what she just said. That statement of hers made me massaged my temple.

Nevertheless, I stood in front of the mirror wearing a simple red dress paired with a black pointed heels and got myself a purse containing my phone.

I went downstairs and saw him, again wearing a black tux under it was a white button down polo.

He looks handsome okay? But an awkward feeling on my part when I glanced at his torso.

Wtf! Why did something grow?
