“I want to talk to your guardian when you attend the class tomorrow! I will not accept you in my class if you won’t bring your guardian with you” a furious teacher said to a fourteen-year-old girl, who doesn’t seem to care while sitting quietly in front of the teacher’s desk; using a cellphone. “Did you hear me?” she almost screamed at the girl because of anger. “I heard you, Ms. Sanchez” the girl replied with a smile when she glanced at the teacher in front of her. “I’ve been talking on like this for a while, but you’re not answering, yet you heard me” “You said that you want to talk to my guardian tomorrow right?” a girl replied while smiling and continued “Why should I make it tomorrow if it can happen today?”

Ms. Sanchez was about to speak when suddenly there was a knock on the door before it opened, and a handsome young man entered. “Good afternoon” a young man greeted her politely after he entered. “Good afternoon too, come here and take a seat” she offered the young man to sit on another chair in front of her desk. “What can I do for you?” the teacher said with a lot of smiles that almost tear her lips. The girl laughed while watching her teacher. Because she is acting like a teenager who is in front of her crush.

“My younger sister texted and told me that you want to talk to her guardian” a young man answered while smiling.

“Is this dem..., I mean, this girl is your sister?” the teacher asked the young man incredulously while pointing at the girl who couldn’t help but smile on her lips.

“Yes ma'am, our uncle is not in the country as of now, so I decided that I’ll be the one to come and talk to you instead. What did my sister do?” “One of her classmates is in the clinic as of now, treating his eyebrow that cracked because of her, kicking him” the teacher explained.

The young man looked at his sister asking her about what he heard. “Why would I not kick him? When I opened the door of the cubicle I caught him peeking at me below” she said with rudeness.

“We can’t blame my sister for what she did, Ms. Sanchez” the smile of a young man still lingered while speaking.

“Let’s say that she had a reason for doing it, but it’s still wrong to hurt her classmate. She can just report it to us” the teacher explained to the young man with an annoyed voice. “Because of what she did Mark’s parents want her expelled, but our principal pleads that instead of expulsion she will just face suspension for about 5 days to a month” While explaining it the teacher looked at the girl. “You can’t do that” the girl got up from her seat “He is the one who’s at fault here, why am I the one facing suspension,” said the girl who almost cried.

“That’s the decision from above, follow it if you don’t want to be expelled for good” answered her teacher.

The girl looked at her older brother with a plea for help showing in her eyes. “Who are the parents of the child that my sister fought with? I’ll be the one to talk to them.” “Are you sure?” the teacher asked him hesitantly “Yes ma'am I’ll be the one to talk to them.”

When the young man said that, a door of the office opened and a sophisticated woman entered. The woman looks in her early forties.

“It's good that you’re already here Mrs. Johnson, the guardian of the student that your son fought with is here.” “Are you the guardian of that rude girl?” she asked with arrogance after sitting across from the teacher’s desk, opposite where the siblings are sitting. “Yes, it's me” the young man answered.

“I think Ms. Sanchez already mentioned what punishment we want your sister to face for what she did to my son,” she said while directly looking at the girl who also met her gaze. There’s no trace of fear from the girl when she looked at the woman in front of her.

“Yes, it was already mentioned to me, but it seems like it’s too much if you expelled my sister just because of what she did."

“Just? You're saying that what your sister did to my son is just trivial? Did you know that my son’s eyebrow cracked because of your sister?” “It's good that’s what I only did to him” the girl whispered.

The young man looked at her sister seriously which made her stop. And then he turned to look at the woman. “We can say that what my sister did is wrong. But what your son did is also wrong. Going inside of the women’s bathroom is already wrong, and then he even peeked at my sister who caught him in the act, so she kicked him. I’ll agree that my sister will be suspended even though it's unfair but your son must also face the punishment.” the young man said gently.

“Maybe you don’t know who you’re talking to,” the woman replied arrogantly.

“Don’t worry I know you, madam, because your husband’s partner in one of your businesses is my uncle” the young man answered while smiling. “Your uncle? Who’s your uncle?” she asked while frowning.

“Miguel madam, Miguel Davidson."

The woman paled when he mentioned his uncle’s name. She looked at the girl who had a big smile on her face.

“Mrs. Johnson, are you okay?” the teacher asked the woman when she suddenly stopped. When there was a knock on the door before it opened, a man not far from the age of the lady entered and was accompanied by a young man with a bandage on his head. He was shocked to see who his wife is talking to.

“Sir Louie”, he approached the young man and shook his hands “What are you doing in his schoo?”

“Because of my sister Mr. Johnson, actually your wife and I already talked about the punishment she wants my sister to face because of what she did to your son” the young man answered and then turned his gaze between the mother and son. “Sir Louie it's okay, my son should be the one to apologize to your sister instead” after he said that he approached his son and guided him closer to the siblings.

“Dad, why would I apologize to that wicked girl?” his son complained. “Be quiet and apologize now.” “But dad..”

“Just do what your dad says Mark!" said the lady to his son. Even though it’s against his will the son can do nothing but follow.

“Sorry, Micay. It won’t happen again." “Of course you must not do it again. Because if you will, you will suffer worse” the girl answered him with arrogance.

“Mr. and Mrs. Johnson” the teacher called them to gain their attention. “Will we continue to give Michaella a suspension?” “We don’t need Ms. Sanchez, I want to apologize for the inconvenience that my son caused” the man answered.

“If that’s the decision then you may bring your sister home, Mr. Davidson. Thank you for your cooperation” the teacher said while looking at the young man. “It’s okay, we’ll go ahead because they are also waiting for me to attend the meeting this afternoon,” the young man said goodbye and motioned her sister to follow him.

“Do you have nothing to do but give us a headache?”

The siblings are inside the car and on their way home.

“I just defended myself, what’s wrong there?” his sister answered. “Didn’t I tell you that if you will do something, make sure that you will not get caught? Because of you, I need to leave everything behind just to come for you” “Uncle Miguel is not available, that’s why you’re the one I texted” “My goodness Micay! I think uncle spoiled you too much” the older brother can’t do anything but sigh.

“I’m sorry Louie, I’ll just cook your favorite for dinner later,” Micay said tenderly.

“There, you’re good at fooling around."

The young man just smiled, because every time Micay did something, a little bit of affection made them swoon and stop being mad. Uncle and he loved her. Aside from work their world only revolves around her. Louie promised himself when their father died that he will do everything for his sister. No one can ever hurt her, and if he needs to kill to ensure Micay’s safety he will do it for her sake.
