Chapter 5 5

Bleu's POV:

The other day I felt like a fool when I suddenly smiled because the crazy thing I did suddenly occurred to me, it wasn't my first kiss but I was thrilled, I wouldn't wonder why I was thrilled, the can do it.

I went down from my room to the kitchen to get something to eat from the fridge, oh right? I will eat again.

I wasn't excited to go in then but I couldn't wait to open because was my first subject, so hahahaha

My smile disappeared when I saw Mom and Dad eating at the dining table. I only see Mom and Dad at home once, it's either they're on a business trip or they're at work all afternoon. The only people I spend time with at home are Manang Cynthia and then our other two housemates.

Why wasn't I informed that Mama had returned home?

The two of them looked at me when I got closer, I was drooling, you see this is our house, I live here and my parents are in front of me but I feel like they're strangers rather than my parents, there's always this distance between me and them.

I waved at both of them.

Papa looked at me from head to toe so I sat down immediately.

"I guess you're eating well, you look healthier compared to the last time I saw you.", he said.

"Ah yes.", I answered awkwardly. I'm only one month and a half pregnant, is it too obvious? Or maybe because I'm really gaining weight from my greedy eating?

I should have just gotten something to eat from the fridge but I sat with them and Mama at the dining table.

"How's school? You're staying away with those 'friends' of yours right just like what I told you to do?", Papa.

I looked at Mama for a moment. Dad is talking about Sam, Eric and Tricia.

"I'm with them in a subject, there's no other interactions other than that. I'm doing just fine in school, don't worry.", I answered.

"You're not dating anyone, aren't you?"

"No.", I answered quickly.

"Good. You know that I'm not stopping you from dating anyone but you need to tell me before I hear it from someone else..."

He stopped cutting his steak and looked at me.

"... I don't want you to messed up and just date anyone... Just like before."

I suddenly felt very uncomfortable, god knows I hate talking about it, it's something I've always wanted to erase in my memories.

"Have you eaten?"

I looked at Mama when she spoke, I wanted to thank her profusely for changing the topic.

"Yes, I just went down to drink water.", I answered.

"I see, go get your water. Do your school related works and rest early, you still have school tomorrow."

Mama signaled me to stand up and do what she said.

I looked at him then at Papa, Papa wasn't looking at me anymore, he continued eating so I stood up.

I got water even though that's not really what I brought down here but food T_T

"I'm going up.", I really feel like Santa when Mom and Dad are at home.

"Go ahead.", mom smiled at me.

I gave Manang Cynthia a look who was just on the side listening to us, I gestured for her to bring me something to eat upstairs and she gave me a nod in response.

When I went back to my room I was able to breathe freely, it was like I was under the sea in the dining area, I was holding my breath.

I sat on the bed and was stunned suddenly, why does he keep bringing up the past? Doesn't he notice that I don't want to talk about it?

I sat on the bed and was stunned suddenly, why does he keep bringing up the past? Doesn't he notice that I don't want to talk about it?

"Bleu, huh? Dave is downstairs, he's coming up here. He's visiting you.", I heard Manang Cynthia say outside my room.

"Alright Manang"

What time is it? What is Dave's trip and do you know anything about visiting?

It's six o'clock in the evening, it's like there's no school tomorrow, stupid ah.

After a while someone knocked on my door.

"Bleu? I'm in?", Dave's voice.

"Open the door.", I simply answered.

He opened the door and peeked inside my room before entering.

"Did your Mom and Dad come home from Canada? I just wanted to talk to you, but Tito said, I'll take you up here."

Mom and Dad are from Canada on a business trip. Dave updated us, he was able to talk to my dad. I don't know how much Papa trusts Dave, you brought him to my room.

"What are you doing in our house at this hour?", I asked him bluntly.

He sat there in front of my study table.

"No, we're from Manong Brandon's Mall, I just passed by here because it's like we're not the same University, I can't catch you at school."

Mr. Brandon is Dave's family driver.

"You're still right, you just want to see me.", I said to him with difficulty.

"You are useless to talk to, last week we were supposed to eat together and then I was free but it didn't work out because you were called to the office when your professor conceived out of spite, you said you would come back but I haven't seen you since that day , because our schedules are different."

I threw a pillow at him and he immediately caught it, unfortunately, I almost hit his face,

"You look like a fool, you know my first subject and my classroom every MTF, why didn't you come to see me? You're a fool, you even blamed me."

He threw back at me the pillow that I threw at him, I didn't expect it so it went straight to my face. Lintek was the only one who didn't respond so I threw it back at him... He was in a position to throw the pillow at me again when I suddenly remembered that I was pregnant and might hit my stomach;

"Come on, my head hurts.", my alibi then grabbed my head and pretended it hurt.

I stole a look at him and he lowered the pillow, I breathed a sigh of relief, we were brutally annoyed with each other so we were literally hurting, I can't do that anymore, I'm with a child inside me.

I looked at my study table when my cell phone rang, Dave also looked there since he was sitting there, he took my cell phone and I read who was calling,

"Daddy?", he read the name when calling, my eyes automatically widened.

Dave looked at me so I swallowed, he handed me the cellphone;

"Uncle Jeff is calling.", he said cluelessly as he handed me my phone.

Uncle Jeff, that's my Father. I quickly took my cellphone from him and hugged it.

"Maybe Tito will tell you something, just too lazy to go up to your room?", he said.

"It's late, I'm still studying. Go home. Go home!", I pushed Dave out of my room, he didn't fight back and just pushed me.

"Tomorrow, give me a free lunch.", he said as I pushed him.

"Yes, yes. Out!"

After I pushed him out of the room I immediately closed the door, I suddenly remembered something so I opened the door and saw Dave standing there as if confused by my actions,

"Be careful.", I said then closed the door again.

I hurried to my bed and sat there, I looked at my cellphone but there was no call from Dadd- it was from Ampa.

Why did he call?

Zane's POV:

"Good morning Professor Arden."

I was taken aback when someone suddenly grabbed my arm, I looked who it was... I know her face but I can't remember her name, I think she's one of my students tho.

I looked around and then at his hand that was clinging to my arm, I removed it.

"Morning.", I greeted back and entered the classroom where he followed me and sat down, I'm right, one of my students.

He frowned, but I couldn't care less if he was offended by what I did. That was inappropriate, we could be misunderstood by those who saw it.

"Good morning class.", I greeted everyone and they greeted me back.

I looked up to see where Bleu was sitting, it's still weird to call her by her name because I'm used to Ms. Williamson, but if I don't train myself to call her Bleu at least in my mind or when it's just the two of us, she'll get mad again.

She is bent over, is she sleeping?

She is bent over, is she sleeping?

I raised an eyebrow as I remembered what happened last night. I called him because I was planning to tell him again that we should stop what we're doing, after he kissed me the other day I realized how dangerous what we were doing was.

I called her last night, and it took a long time before she answered the call, she did answer the call but I think she did it accidentally?

I heard her talking to a guy, and I think they were inside her room as I heard her asking him to leave and the loud closing of the door.

I don't know who that man is but it's rude to be listening to their conversation so I immediately hung up.

She's a woman, how can she just allow a guy inside her room? Except if that guy is his brother or boyfriend, it can't be his boyfriend because if it's his boyfriend, what am I? Who am I? Is she like two-timing then?

He suddenly looked up as if he had just woken up so I immediately looked away.

"Okay, everyone. Get your books and open to page 34, we'll be talking about flight safety standards today.", I just started the class.

They immediately took out their books and opened them.

"Can anyone tell me an example of Flight Safety Standards?"

No one even raised their hand when it is such an easy question.

"Prof Arden! Me!"

I looked to my right, and it's that girl earlier.

"I'm sorry, what's your name again?", I asked.

"Ella, Ella Sanchez."

Did she just wink at me? What's wrong with this woman?

"Okay, Ms. Sanchez, give me at least one example of a Flight Safety Standards."

He suddenly looked at his book, I frowned.

He didn't know the answer, he just raised his hand to get my attention. Thank you Thank you

"A-ahmm.. Check equipment.. ", he read from the book.

"Close your book."

He looked at me.

"Didn't I say you should do advance reading? Close your book, Ms. Sanchez."

I saw him swallow his saliva while closing his book.

"I was doing advanced reading, Prof, I just forgot.", he reasoned.

"Then why raise your hand if you don't even know the answer?"

He bowed.

"Sorry sir."

"Sit down."

The whole classroom got quieter. I don't care if they get mad at me or talk bad about me because of my strictness, this is how I teach and they should take this seriously especially since they are graduating.

I frowned even more when my eyes caught William- Bleu who was secretly laughing while looking at the girl earlier.

What is it laughing at?

"Ms. Williamson.", I called her last name, she looked at me in surprise..

"Yes, Prof?", he answered in surprise.

"Close your book, stand up."

He looked around, did he think I was talking to someone else? Is he in a good mood and is he laughing at that?

He closed his book and stood up.

"Same question as Ms. Sanchez. Give me an example of Flight Safety Standards."

He scratched his head, I narrowed my eyes at him as I waited for his answer. I'll just see if you can laugh at that.

"Like Safety Demo? Before taking off, the seatbelt, lifevest, oxygen mask must be demonstrated by the Cabin Crew... Things like that?"

I put my hand on my table and leaned a little on it.

"Like that? What else?"

His eyes widened, he thought maybe I was going to make him sit down.

"What about-", he stopped speaking.

What?

"I mean, Prof, you said examples, not examples. Ask something else.", he said avoiding looking at me.

It's not the first time she called me Ampa, what the hell does Ampa mean?

He suddenly glared at me. He looked like he was ordering me to sit him down.

She is bent over, is she sleeping?

He suddenly glared at me. He looked like he was ordering me to sit him down.

He suddenly glared at me. He looked like he was ordering me to sit him down.

Can he be here in my position? Should he always be obeyed?

"Okay, sit down."

I'm just afraid of what she will do so I can't be angry with this girl.

I just continued my class instead of arguing with him in front of the class.

Bleu's POV:

"Class dismissed."

Everything was in chaos when Ampa said that the class was dismissed. I was the first to leave the classroom, I felt sorry for my classmates because they were nervous about Ampa, why is she scary when teaching?

He's the terror professor who likes not going to class but they're just afraid of Ampa, no one is absent.

After he discussed earlier, he did a surprise quiz.

I looked at Ella, hahahah you can't get close to Ampa now can you? You were embarrassed earlier hahah

"We're the first ones, bebe gurl?", Eric said goodbye to me and I also said goodbye to them.

Where is Dave? He said we will eat together today, why isn't he here yet? I won't go to his classroom, too lazy to walk, it's still hot outside.

I followed Ampa's gaze when she left the classroom, I wanted to approach her just so many people would see her so next time.

It's ugly, I can't go to his office because many people will wonder if I'm always there, what is that? Where will we meet? It's like we're not, obviously I just forced it.

"Hey, aren't you going out?", asked one of my classmates who was standing near the door, we were the only two left in the classroom.

"I'm still waiting for something.", I answered him and he nodded.

"Alright. See you in our Multimedia subject.", he said with a smile before leaving.

Multimedia Arts is my third subject today, that will be later after he is my classmate in that subject.

Ampa is my first subject on Monday and Tuesday but every Friday, she is my 2nd subject.

Putek, where is Dave?

I took my cell phone from my bag and texted Dave.

"Hey! Where are you? Hurry up or you'll eat alone!", I texted him.

I'm hungry.

"Why the heck are you still here? Don't you have next class?"

I looked in front and then my mood suddenly improved when I saw Ampa. Why did he come back?

"Why did you come back?", I asked him.

"I forgot my phone."

He entered and went straight to his table and took something from its drawer, his cell phone.

"My next class is later. I'm also waiting for something", I answered his question earlier.

"Don't hang around here."

He looked outside so I also looked there, I think he's being careful again because someone might pass by and see us.

"It's hot outside."

"Wait there in the library you wait."

It's really art.

"I'll be here for a while, my friend's class is about to finish, we'll meet here, I'll leave as soon as he's here."

He pocketed his cell phone and looked outside again and then looked back at me.

*krruuuuu*

As the classroom was very quiet since it was just the two of me and Ampa, the sound of my stomach really echoed, I said I was hungry.

Shame on you! That's power!

"When will your friend come? I can't stay here much longer in case someone sees us, it's weird to see a student and a teacher alone inside a classroom."

Sometimes I think about Ampa's tendency to overthink, what will those who see us think? We were very far from each other, he was in the front while I was sitting almost at the back of the classroom.

Then what I can't stay here much longer? so what? He wouldn't leave without seeing me leave to make sure I didn't actually hang around here? How petty.

"Go away, I'm not going to hang around here. I'll just wait for a while my friend.", I said with a mixture of pain.

"That's not what I meant, you're not even sure when your friend will come and then your stomach rumbles with hunger, it's not like we have feelings for each other but then sice we're already dating, imagine how irresponsible of a boyfriend I am if I just leave you here?", he said while lowering the tone of his voice.

My whole body seemed to suddenly heat up when I heard from him, I kept my lips from smiling. What's that? Is he really doing it as his responsibility as my jowa?

The strands of my hair brushed away from my face in no time saying;

"I'm fine... Go away, I'll be out in 5 minutes.", I said a little bit, hahahah, are you okay?

"No, you look right there. Text your friend, tell him to meet you at the library instead. Stand there, wait inside the library."

I didn't get up because it was nice sitting here and then he walked me to the library, making me lazy.

He glared at me.

"What's up? Stand there.", he ordered.

"Because I'm here.", I said.

"Hard-headed."

He looked outside one last time then approached me and gently pulled me upright.

"Let's go."

I couldn't do anything but stand up, he really pulled me to make sure I would walk, he pulled me by the arm and he just let me go when we got out of the classroom.

"Blue.", we looked at the speaker at the same time.

"Hey idiot! Why are you here now, I've been waiting for a while!", I really took off my shoe and threw it at Dave, he caught it.

"He's the one you're waiting for?", Ampa asked and pointed at Dave.

"Ah yes, my friend. We're going to have lunch together, why?"

Ampa frowned and looked at Dave.

"Hi sir.", Dave greeted Ampa.

"You didn't tell me that your friend is a boy and he sounds very familiar."

What is Ampa saying?

"Ahhh because Prof, he's the one with the loud voice and you scolded him last week, remember?"

"Yeah, he also sounds very much alike to the guy you were talking to last night that I heard on the call.", he said softly so I didn't hear.

"Alright, I'm hungry.", Dave.

Dave approached me and then gave me my shoes, I put them on immediately because the floor was hot hahahah

"Bye sir.", Dave said goodbye so I just said bye, Dave got angry quickly so I can't make a mistake in front of him but I will be happy, Ampa and I.

Dave pulled me and I turned to Ampa, he was looking at us while shaking his head as if I could even hear him 'tsk, tsk, tsk'...

I guess we kinda made a progress today, at least I know that even though I forced him to join me, he is trying to act as his boyfriend to me even though it is against his heart.

Let's take it slowly but surely.

I felt my cellphone vibrate so I immediately took it out of my pocket, I didn't realize that Dave was looking at me,

"Is Tito looking for you?", Dave suddenly asked.

"Huh?", was all I could answer.

"He messaged you.", he said.

I looked at the texter, its name says 'Daddy' and Dave thinks it's Dad T_T

I opened the message and read it immediately when Dave wasn't looking,

"Get the answer sheets of the test today on my table after your lunch, check it and give it back by next week.", I read Ampa's text.

Letse, I was made a test paper checker again!? What is his trip?

"Get it in 30 minutes because I have no other classes left, I'll be locking the office to get home so you better get it immediately.", another message from him.

is he serious In 30 minutes!? Well, it looks like it's about 15 minutes on the way to where Dave wants to eat, what's that? Can I eat without chewing? Then teleport back to the University? Ampa is crazy!
