6 FFE 4: You're mine

Sure, a lot happened yesterday but today was much more worse. The two boys were at it ever since the morning. They were bickering like there's no tommorow. Students already find them really annoying and also them. They find each other annoying. Eliot would always start the fight, he should be the one controlling the fight. However, tables had been flipped over. It was so obvious on how Michael would win the fight and they were right.

Eliot would always end up shouting, shaking from anger. While Michael? Just the normal him. True, he's also getting annoyed but he wanna keep his temper to him. He knows that Eliot was trolling over him and he doesn't wanna get that on his nerves even though he already got on it.

"Can't you move?! There's like another vacant seats out there! Go and take them instead of that chair!" Eliot shouted to the boy who was sitting on his spot. Michael was so calm on answering him and Eliot was sure pissed on how he answered.

"Yeah. You've already said it yourself, there's more vacant seats out there. Then why don't you go and take one of them? There's plenty of 'em, so stop pestering me already." The boy is already used to these types of answers that Michael give but he just can't get over it.

He keeps on pestering him and yet, he ain't getting swayed. Eliot was always the one going home defeated. Always. He was the first one. The first one that ain't getting troubled by him. Eliot knows his pissed but then he's still calm. His actions are so reserved.

And once again, Eliot was the one who adjusted for the fight. Ravish and Nathan can't help but laugh at him. He was looking like an idiot he already is. Continuing the fight even though it's already obvious who had won. (Poor, Eli)

Michael Aljon Cruz

As I saw Eliot stormed off my way, I sighed. He's so pathetic. Why does he always wanna fight with me? What's wrong with him? Tsk.

We're currently inside the stadium for meeting purposes. Good thing was we were the first ones to be here or else they will be eyeing us. We sure are getting attention. Not so long after, more students came inside filling up the whole stadium. Teachers also came in. My eyes suddenly fell on Eliot's place, watching how he keeps on getting nearer and nearer to my seat and before I knew it, he was already right beside me.

Raising a brow made him roll his two black orbs. It was quite cute, he thought. Pulling a grin on his face. The meeting had finally started and I swear, I wasn't paying any attention but to him. I was staring at the shorter guy beside me, the whole fucking time.

It was kinda weird, I've gotta admit but also amusing. Eliot looked at my pace and arched an eyebrow and asked me, "What the fuck do you want from me?"

I tried to lean forward but he stepped back backwards and avoided his gaze from me. Giving me more space to his ear. I was about to blow his ear but then he faced me again and got blown into the face. We were both shocked on what had happened.

Well, it's not my fault tho, he faced me when I was to blow his ear. I smirked at the intended accident that had happened, while him? He wasn't mad but he was rather shook and kinda amazed?

I mean, my breathe does smell amazing. Not gonna lie. I noticed how his ear turned red and his nose crunching up. I was thinking of adding more fuel to the fire and yet, before I did that, he had already punched me in my stomach.

Sucks, cause it hurts.

"F-Fuck you." Eliot said and looked at the front once again, not him realizing that his ear was so red, even his nape.

We both stopped and just listened to the host at the stage. It then caught my attention and his also, he flinched upon hearing the next announcement.

"As of everyone know, that this coming June 12 is a holiday, a holiday to remember the day where the Philippines got freed from the hands of the foreigners who tried to steal our land.

As a usual occasion, June 13 won't also have classes but the school would be open for you students, the Student Council President, Ivez Xavier, along with the other Student Council Officers, would be in charge on ordering and rulling around the whole campus grounds.

CAT Officers would be in charge in the security of the school. Taking the attendance of students would be on the role of the Class President.

Every student is required to come to school this June 13, this is to let you pupils be responsible and independent, just like how the Philippines be independent upon getting freed.

Meeting adjourned."

Everyone quickly parted to their own ways. But me, I was currently looking at the guy in front me who's also currently smirking like a little devil with his own plans. Before I could ask, he went off, and so am I.

Wandering off around the school, I then realized the tension around everyone and the snickering around the place. It was suffocating to stay, but the good things was my phone rang and it was my older sister who was calling.

I picked it up and looked for her then went home.

~*~

Entering my own room, I flopped on the bed and checked my phone. I opened the message that came from my girlfriend. Smiling through the thought, it was been a while since the last time I talked to her.

Our conversation ended until I fell asleep.

Morning came eventually and the sunlight came in thru the window hitting my face lightly but harshly. Argh, you know what I mean, don't ya?

I looked at my phone to see the time and was kind of surprised that I woke up this early, it was only 9'o clock in the morning and judging from the rays of the sun. It would be good if I took a little jog in the park.

Wearing my usual jersey, and sweat pants, I went straight out of my room and ate a little before going out of the house. Plugging my earphones into my ear, I ran out of the subdivision, to the central plaza.

It was a long run. My water bottle was almost empty by the time I got there. I ran around the whole plaza for the next thirty minutes and the next thing I knew was that, I bumped into someone while changing the song on my playlist.

I quickly lowered my gaze and apologized, he also apologize back. I helped him take his things and what caught my attention was him sounding familiar and saying, "Glasses, where are my glasses?" He said while searching for it.

I noticed his glasses and gave it to him, he thanked me and looked at my face. He's smile dropped as soon he saw my face. I was a little bit shocked to see who it was and also at his appearance.

It was Eliot.

He was wearing his glasses, and a little bit over-sized jacket and fitted black ripped jeans.

"What are you doing here?" He said in a really threatening voice. That was quick, he was really gentle a while ago. It only took him a second to change from being gentle to something devilish.

"You were glasses?" Was the only thing that came out of my mouth. He rolled his eyes and growled at me.

I didn't bother and went to where my bottle was. I was about to take a sip but nothing came out. It empty by the time I knew. Taking my stuff with me, I decided to go to the nearest café. It was my usual hangout place when I'm bored.

Looking at Eliot, he looks much more delicate with his outfit. He looks kinda cute, I guess? I smirked on what I've said. Well, it's true tho.

He then stopped half way and looked at my place, forming a smile in my lips. I just kept walking and him? He was saying stuff that made my smile much more wider.

"Why are you following me, you creep?" I stopped walking and faced him.

"Hey, your imagination is just really playful. I ain't following you, can't it just be a coincidence that I'm going to the same café as you are?"

"And how did you know that I'm going to a café?"

"Judging from your outfit and all, you looked like the type of person to study there, plus, this is the way for that place. Dumb dumb."

He rolled his eyes again and walked behind my back, I slowed my pace and became concurrent with his steps. I placed my arm to his shoulders and flinched as soon as I did that. He looked at me and wiggled my eyebrows.

I was kinda bothered since he didn't even tried to protest but instead he just blushed, again.

We went to the counter and ordered our orders. "One Café au lait please." We both turned out head at each other as we said our orders in unison.

"Are you two with each other?" The waitress said.

"No." "Yes."

He glared at me and took off my hand on his shoulder.

"Then two 'Café au lait' on your way, sirs." The waitress said and smiled as she repeated our orders.

I waited for him to sit beside me but blasted off as he got his coffee, which leaves me paying for both of our orders. Just nice.

The whole day went by being normal once again and the next thing I knew was, it was already June 13.

I was already wearing my uniform and is already infront of the classroom. I was caught up by the tension inside.

No one was speaking, no one. I sat on my usual seat and observed the whole place. But no one was literally doing anything. As if it's like they were waiting for something. And there, someone spoke in the speaker.

"Good morning, Caltexians. Here we are, once again, waiting for the time where we can finally bid on someone. It's the most awaited moment every year.

I won't make any more announcement and let the Caste System, begin."

With that a loud bang echoed around the school.

"Oh, right, before we proceed to the actual biddings. I must first explain the mechanics. To our dear, transferees. I want to welcome you to the annual Caste System event which is held every year. You students are divided into three categories.

The alpha's which are the highest of the highest. They are the students who has the highest standards. The sons and daughters of our great CEO's.

The beta's, the stock holders or the share holders of the companies. The usual partners of the CEO's.

The omega's. They are the kids of the usual high standard works. They have their own world but has a common job. Like, being a kid of a doctor, engineer, lawyer etc.

And lastly, the outcasts. The one who works under for someone and usually the commoners. For example, the kids of the secretaries, managers and such.

Alpha's and Beta's are the only one who can bid and the rest, will get into the bidding.

The bidder can only have a maximum of 5 bids.

That's it. You may now start."

With me being confused as fuck, I tried my best to get into the situation. The TV infront of us flashed and showed us everyone's status. My eyes searched for my name and found that I was at last section.

The outcasts.

A girl stood up and looked at me. "I, Evangeline Leiraline, bid onto Michael Aljon Cruz as my servant. Stand up and come to me, my dear." She said seductively.

Everyone was eyeing me but here I am, still confused as hell. I was about to stand and go to the flow but Eliot stood and faced her.

"As the highest of highest of the Alpha's in our grade. I, Eliot Hunter Zackermore, bid onto Michael Aljon Cruz as mine. He's mine."

He said and took my wrist. He faced me and said.

"Have you forgotten? You're mine, asshole."
