Chapter 14

Lucas s POV
I GOODLY watched Maxine as she ate.
"How many times can I tell you to get organized when you eat in front of me." I reprimand.
"Why?" its last question then spewed out a huge pizza-roll.
My Godness!
"You look gross. Turns off .. "
He frowned but did not speak. I bit my own mouth. Damn, what did I say --- damn it!
"Why aren't you eating? I thought you were hungry? " he asked later.
It didn't seem to understand what I meant before. Tsk, it's good that this woman is slow.
"I don't like the way they look."
She hissed. "It tastes better than the leaves you always eat."
I frowned. "What leaf?"
"' That cabbage. Why are you so interested? "
"It's delicious, ah. You want to make us do that. "
"Nevermind. I didn t make your trip. "
Again I frowned. It should also like my passions. "Hurry up."
Maxine left earlier after she took me to the room of my first subject, management-1.
"Gosh, who s that ?!"
"New classmate?"
"Kyaaaaah! He's handsome. He looks familiar. I think, I already saw his face somewhere --- ugh, saan nga ba .. "
Those are just some of the things I hear when I enter the room. I decided on the back seat. I don't want to mix with other students. I don't like noise.
"Hello! Transferree ka? What school are you from? " said the woman in front of me. It is white and its hair is over the shoulders.
I just smiled sparingly in response. I don't want to talk.
"I m Kath, you?"
I smiled at him again and then looked out the window. I feel like all the eyes are looking at me, it's disgusting. I don't like the attention I get --- I'm unfamiliar with most.
"Pipi yata. It's too bad he's still handsome. "
Minutes passed ..
"Good morning, Sir!" I heard my classmates greet the newcomer.
"Morning!"
"Sir, we have a new classmate!" said the woman in the first row. The newcomer looked at my behavior.
"Transferree?" the Instructor asked.
"Sort of, sir."
It frowned before speaking. "May I see your COR?"
I quietly obeyed then stood up and did what it asked for.
Shock and astonishment registered on the face of my counterpart when he saw my records.
"Harrison?" he uttered with amusement. "The most famous clan in the town of Sta. Monica. "
Once again there was a murmur throughout the room.
"As far as I know, your family moved here from Central Europe, right?"
"Yes, sir."
"Where in Central Europe?"
"Prague, sir."
"I see. So, you came from Charles University? "
It was a long time before I answered. "Yes, sir ..."
Why does he ask so many questions?
"Wow, so how come you end up here, what happened?"
I heaved a sigh as I looked at him with annoyance.
"I was kicked out." my direct response.
Once again he frowned but never asked again. It seemed to realize the reaction of my face.
"Okay, you can sit down."
I quietly turned around and headed for the chair.
I studied Medicine in Prague but I did not finish. I was only up to third curriculum because of the tire I was involved with. I almost killed a student there.
My class was also over so I decided to go home. It's late afternoon. I am about to get on my car when I saw Jacob and his comrade across the parking area. It looks like they've made another trip.
Duno --- but I found myself heading step towards them.
"Jacob ..." I called the latter's attention. It turned and smiled when it saw me. They are also CANIS like me, we just have different principles.
Jacob was the Son of the old Hammad. One of the Betas.
"Enough guys, our majesty is here .." he said to his comrades with a mixture of sarcasm. His companions followed and released the student they were holding who ran away from us.
"What can we do for you, your Highness .." Jacob smirked as he stared at me.
"Will you just get rid of them?" I am referring to the students he and his companions always travel to. "They are weak."
"And what if, I won t ..?" - Jacob.
"Stop being a jerk, Jacob. You re putting the other CANIS into mess. Do you think you can stop the chaos once the people know our secret? "
"So? I think, it would be fun, wouldn't it? Human versus CANIS, right comrade? " he burst into laughter while facing his friends.
In my irritation I grabbed it. "F*ck it, Jacob. If you do not care about your family, I do. And to tell you asswhole, I m gonna kill you if ever bad things happened to them! "
"Woah! I m scared! " its tongue laughed and wiped my hands. "I couldn t just imagine how the elders so sure that you were the crown prince in the prophecy --- a coward jackass ?! F*ck you, Lucas! "
Jacob pushed me so I barely backed away. I also retaliated at the same time as I unleashed a punch on his face. The two with him also rushed but I quickly met them on foot. I saw Jacob break down the door of one of the cars and throw it in my direction, it was too late to dodge --- with me falling to the ground. My head hit the hood of a car. For a moment my vision darkened --- and when they returned I saw Jacob's face. He pulled me upright and was about to punch me but I quickly grabbed his hand and then reached straight for his head and built it into the hood of the car. It twisted for a moment and coughed a little more. I used that opportunity to break down the car door and was about to slam it when suddenly a series of whistles rang out. I was a little taken aback and looked at them, University security guards ..
Because of that, Jacob and his schoolmates both expelled us. Other CANIS also learned of that incident. I don't know what lies Jacob is telling and that's how Betas and Alpha, my Grandfather, will heat me up.
They held a peging in which an innocent life would kill the appointed Prince in front of elevating officials which I had not done. I can't, and it's your disobedience to them. I got angry with the Betas so they punished me ..
...
... death.
So my parents were forced to leave me. So we went to a remote area of 'this town.
But my calvary did not end there. I carried it until my twenty-first birthday.
Maxine s POV
Miss Macalisang has already started discussing but my brain is flying again ..
Is that 'arrogant okay? It seems to avoid people.
"You are too early for the next subject, Miss Bodegas." - Miss Macalisang.
I looked in the direction of the door.
"I m sorry, Ma am .." - Meghan.
"Okay, sit down." - Miss Macalisang.
The latter immediately complied and sat down next to me. I decided to focus my attention ahead. I don't want to greet him or I'll be embarrassed again. Pain can be rejected.
But to my surprise, a notebook was placed in front of me.
[SORRY, YOU CONTRIBUTE .. ?]
'That s what it says.
I smiled then took the ballpen and wrote there as well.
[NO. AKALA KO GALIT KA ..] -ako.
I handed him the notebook. It wrote there again.
[NO. NAGTATAMPO LANG. YOU DIDN'T SAY YOU KNEW ONE OF THE HARRISONS, WHAT I WAS SAYING IN FRONT OF YOU. I LOOKED LAUGHING.?] - He.
[IYON BA 'YON ?? LONG STORY, EH. BATI NA TAYO?] - Me.
[TSK, TELL ME LATER. SIGE. NAMISS KITA, EH! ] - He.
I seemed to shed tears of joy. I was touched.
And again, an eraser landed in front of us that made Meghan and I look up ..
Ayaaaayyy! Miss Macalisang.
"What are you guys doin ? "
Meghan and I stood up in shock.
"Chatting through notebook ?!" Ma am s dag-dag.
We did not speak out.
"Go infront, the both of you." command it further and turn away. Meghan and I followed hand in hand. Ma am took some books and laid them on our heads while facing our teasing classmates.
"You'll stay there until I'm done."
OMAYGHAD --- Waaaaaaaa!
"SAY what ?! Are you a slave to that handsome Harrison ?! " Meghan exclaimed. We are currently in the hallway of the COM and on our way out of the building. Our class with Miss Macalisang is also over.
"The O.A., hah. Can you not shout? " I reprimand. The other students were distracted.
"Sari, but' isn t that ?! "
Is that a big deal ?! Tsk!
I rolled my eyes. "Yes."
I also confessed everything to Meghan. Maybe we'll get together again.
I slightly rubbed my neck. Meghan and I must have been numb for an hour and a half standing in front with matching books on our heads. Jusme! Made us high school ?!
"Why didn't you come in yesterday? Then I don't think you're in uniform now. " Meghan asked differently.
I was suddenly stunned but I tried to cheer my face. "Ah, I just did something. Then my uniform got stained. " I lied. "Eh, why were you absent earlier?"
"I went with Mom to visit Grandma."
I nodded.
"Hey, slave .."
Meghan and I stopped then looked ahead.
Luke.
"My God, he's also a student here ?!" Meghan's voice stopped asking.
I couldn t answer Meghan because Luke spoke again. "I've been calling you before. Why don't you answer? "
Yay! By the way, where is my cellphone ?!
"Ahm, c-cause ..." I couldn't answer. Where did I put that ?! I just used 'em yesterday. I bit my lower lip so hard that I scratched my head. I looked at Meghan before looking back at Luke. "N-I lost k-ko yata?"
Lucas whistled before speaking then raised an eyebrow at me. "You are very rude. How can we call that? Then the dear you lost. "
That s his irritating habit again. It's hard for him to understand. Mala knight in shining armor at night, then back arrogant in the morning!
"He's sweet to talk to." Meghan whispered again.
Yes. The sweet is serious!
"I'll be ahead of you." I say goodbye to Meghan.
"All right. Tell me later, hah! "
Shake that I preceded here and headed for Luke.
"Sorry. I lost it yesterday. " I whispered when I got close to it.
He was suddenly stunned but did not say a word. Its formerly rebellious appearance has also become gentle. Later someone took it from my pocket and put it in my hand.
"Don't lose that."
Maang looked at my hand. "But it's your cellphone, eh."
"I'll just buy a new one."
Shake I handed it back to him. "Oh no. I'll just use my old one. " I'm referring to my antique phone.
"I don't give you the right to refuse."
"But it's expensive ..." I protested. Kaloka, I might lose again.
"Your phone is mine, let's buy it."
I stared at Lucas then frowned. "S-are you sure?"
He nodded slowly with both hands.
"Be careful too, hah. This is important to me. " I explain as I take my antique phone out of the bag. "Ayan." I reached out to him. "Mom gave me that gift for my fifteenth birthday, so please take care, hah .."
Luke glanced at his hand and then smiled. "Okay. I m going to make it a junk shop. "
"What ?!" my ejaculatory eyes widened and then I rubbed them on the shoulder. "That's mine."
"I don t want to. We already swapped 'didn t we?"
I tried to grab the phone but it quickly swung you upwards as one of his hands was on my forehead and prevented me from reaching for it. I kept looking bobwet.
"That s mine, Lucas. What..!"
But the madman just seems to enjoy what he's doing.
"Hi!"
Luke and I were both shocked to hear that 'voice .
Miss Beatriz.
But why is Hevo with it? Then why is his arm wrapped around the waist of the latter ?!
"Are you studying here too?" Miss Beatriz asked with a smile, as if her mouth was going to be torn too wide.
"Yeah." - Lucas.
I looked at Hevo who was looking at me.
The awkward. Am I smiling at him ?! Does her face look sad ?!
I don t know if Lucas noticed what Hevo and I said because of holding it in my hand. I turned my gaze to it but it remained staring at the two.
"Uhm, by the way. Meet Hevo ---. "
"We'll meet." - Hevo.
"I know him." - Lucas.
The two said that almost at the same time.
"Really ?! Woah-great! " - Miss Beatriz. "So, since you already know each other, why not join us for dinner tonight?"
Luke did not speak.
"I and Hevo are gonna have a date." Miss Beatriz added.
Ayay! Are they ?!
Why am I so curious ?!
"Include Maxine as well ..."
This 'demon will make me even more jealous. Jusme, I will look bitter in front of them. "Oh no, don't. I am many---.."
"Sure."
Maang I looked at Lucas. What went into the neck of this saltik ?!
"We're not going, are we?" my voice stopped my tongue even though I was smiling. But I don't think Saltik understood me and was still smiling at me. Really teasing!
"We re goin . " he said to me. "Besides, I also want to be with you. I want to date you. "
I frowned at what he said. "Huh?"
"Can you deny your majesty?"
I seem to have swallowed my tongue and no words came out of it.
Shackz! What kind of drama is this?
