Chapter 2 ADDISION'S FAMILY )

Madam Principal asked, "Do you know each other?" Ashley replied, "No, Mrs. Davis, we just met yesterday at the market. She almost got assaulted by three men, so she ran and bumped into me." Ashley then recounted the incident where she narrowly escaped being assaulted by three men. In the flashback, she rejected their advances and managed to flee, but ended up colliding with a stranger. The stranger, who turned out to be a doctor, intervened and prevented the assault. Ashley's mother arrived, expressing gratitude to the doctor for his help.

The flashback ends, and the principal instructs Ashley to give the doctor a tour of the school. As they leave, Ashley's friend wishes her luck, and the doctor confirms he's finished checking something with Miss Novestra.

I quickly averted my gaze. "Sorry, doc," I said as I sat down, startled when he touched my hair.

"It's okay. So, where should we start?" he asked. I took him outside the school, not near the road but just to the school's exit.

"At around 7:50, the guard closes the gate so students can't leave. During breaks, the gate isn't opened either, as per the principal's orders. Students are only allowed to leave for lunch and dismissal, but elementary students are dismissed first before high school and college," I explained.

We also have elementary and high school here at St. Peter University School, and elementary students are always dismissed before high school and college. "Also, it's prohibited to linger in that area, as the principal strictly forbids it," I added.

"I have a question, are you the student council president of this university school? Or something else?" Doc asked, and I shook my head.

"No, I'm not the student council president here at the university. I'm usually the one designated by the principal to give tours to visitors," I replied to his question, which was true as I'm always assigned by the principal.

"Okay, let's continue," he said. We began the tour inside, going from one place to another, explaining various areas.

"Here is our schoolyard where students can play sports of their choice, and over there is the swimming pool, which is currently closed to students. Any questions, doc?" I said, relieved that the tour was over.

"Questions? Hmmm, are you tired?" My smile faded when he asked that. Yes, doc, I'm very tired. Who wouldn't be tired after two hours of wandering around? "Hey! I'm asking you. I thought it was 'any questions'? Now, are you tired?" he brought me back to reality.

"Uh, no, I'm not tired yet, hehe. Are you tired, doc?" I asked him before laughing nervously.

"I'm not tired. Wait," he said, checking his cellphone. "It's 11:23, and we've been touring for 3 hours now. Are you hungry?" he asked me.

"I-I'm not hungry yet, doc, and my friend Ashley and I are going to eat together," I stuttered, feeling weak whenever we make eye contact.

"Liar," he chuckled. "Well, I don't want to hear that phrase 'I'm not hungry yet.' Remember, I'm a doctor, and it's bad for your body not to eat even if you're not hungry," he said sternly.

I agreed to eat and reluctantly took the food he bought. "Do you have a lunch box?" I nodded at him but avoided his gaze.

"Good afternoon, doc," I greeted Ashley as she approached. "Are you done with the tour?"

"Yeah, we're done, and also, you can ask your friend to eat, even if they're full or hungry. But if they've already had breakfast, they can skip lunch," he said. I agreed and said I would eat.

He looked at me while smiling. "Especially, it's bad not to eat, whether you're full or hungry. It damages your intestines," he said before excusing himself and leaving.

"Where did you get those biscuits and Chuckie? Oh, I know, they're from doc, right? He gave them to you for free," Ashley said. I nodded in agreement.

"Yes, but I initially declined, but he insisted. I told him I'm full," I said as I looked at the food Doc gave me.

"Ouch," I winced as Ashley pinched my side. "That hurts. What did I do?" I glared at her.

"Why did you refuse the food he gave you? Hey, didn't you hear what Doc said? It's bad to have an empty stomach; it'll damage your intestines," she said in a somewhat bossy tone.

"Come on, let's go to the room so we can eat. It's a good thing Doc treated you to food," she said, urging me to follow her.

ANGIE POV

"Angie collect all papers" I immediately collected their papers before I gave them to ma'am martinez our math teacher. "Everybody quiet" We all kept quiet and waited for our score as he checked our papers one by one.

After a few hours, he finished checking the papers. "Everybody clap three times to miss angielyn khale novestra, miss ashley cruz and veronica oñiren, they got their highest score" They immediately applauded.

"I mean it's really not allowed because you're too young to have a boyfriend, am I right Miss Novestra" I don't know why I just nodded at what he said.

We haven't been together for a long time but we have already said our goodbyes and maybe the high schoolers have already been sent out.

AUTHOR POV

"We're first mom" Sonya's son waved before leaving, when his son left he sat down sadly. He allegedly lied to his son because of his real father.

Angie's father did not go with another family but the truth is that Sonya left Angie's father because the father of her future husband did not want him. "Forgive me, son, if I lied to you, but when will we get away from your father" cried Sonya.

"Forgive me but I have to stay away from your father because of our conversation with his father, I love my father very much but he is getting married that I don't know" He added.

"Don't be nervous love remember I am here for you" He just secretly smiled at the young man then decided to enter the masion, they caught up with three women dressed as maids.

The two are getting married soon and they are very excited. "I'll be right back love after my work, bye baby daddy going to work first and I am excited to touch you and hug you" The young man touched the girl's stomach.

her husband is going to his work to finish what needs to be finished. "If you hungry then tell manang to prepare for your food, bye love" He kissed it on the forehead, nose and lips.

When he left, a maid met him. "Madam, señorito is calling you to his room, he wants to talk to you and he says it's important" The maid bowed and the girl nodded.

The girl headed up the stairs and when she got to where she was, she first looked at the name posted on the door.

'Geraldo Lucasinto Felipe Addison'

It knocked three times. "Come in" The girl immediately entered and closed the door before approaching where the man was busy focusing on the laptop.

"Uncle, are you calling me?" The man closed his laptop and stood up from where he was sitting and took a briefcase and a paper stack and slammed it on the table.

"90 million to leave my son, I don't want you from my son since my son brought you here. this paper is a divorce paper sign it and I will tell Benedict about it, hurry and sign it then take this 90 million pack it and leave my house" He coldly explained to her.

"I'm sorry uncle but I can't accept this 90 million and sign the divorce paper, in fact I love your son and we're about to get married and we'll have a son" said the girl.

The man frowned. "Then drop what's in your womb and the conversation is over, sign this paper and pack it and leave my house with the 90 million" The man argued.

"Alright, I'll let you think before you sign the divorce paper" The man added as the girl bowed.

"If that's what you want, I'll sign the divorce paper"....

END OF FLASHBACK

ANGIE POV

"It's like big brother" Ashley and I immediately got off and entered the school, we met some students who were making noise. "What is that noise this morning?" We ignored the noise around us and went straight to the classroom.

Before we entered the classroom, we caught up with doc saxvora leaning near our classroom. "Doc saxvora you came here, what do we mean?" Ashley asked as the doc turned around before smiling.

"I am here because of miss angie" Ashley looked at me but I thought it was the doc, he took something from his pocket and there I saw a bracelet. I didn't immediately notice it in my hand. "I think this is yours? you drop this while you're on your way home, I try to give you this yesterday but you might be left" He added.

"T-thankyou doc" I immediately took the bracelet staka and put it in my pocket, he smiled at me before squeezing my cheek and he left completely.

"Looks like everyone is going to be a dad now. hope it's all huhuhu" I didn't pay attention to my friend but I looked behind and saw the doc talking to a student. "Hey! Maybe the doc will melt when you look at it, so don't be jealous of that and he's just talking about it" I immediately hit it.

"Are you going to make me jealous? ehh if I hit you, ehh that's where I'm surrounded by you" I just continued to enter the classroom.

"That hurts ah, what a waste of grace and you think his face is so handsome, especially with muscle oh, don't agree yarn" I just glared at him and it's a good thing our classmates aren't there yet but I'm having issues because of this one.

"Shut up there, come on and we're going straight to a garden to clean up" I was the first to go out, hmm he'll take care of that.

"G*go just kidding, hey wait for me"......
