5 Chapter Four

Natsumi

Brrr… so cold. So annoying. Why cold water? I need to change my clothes. I took my cell phone out of my pocket, good thing my phone is not wet because of that water they poured on me.

I will not attend two subjects. I told Michelle that I would not attend two of my subjects, she would take care of me about it. I was close to the old Art Room. I think no one is there so I’ll just go straight there.

I immediately called Alexis to bring me another uniform. If I did not change, everyone in the mansion would be dead when I got sick. They will receive a lot of sermons from the people who pay them to work.

So annoying. They can pour me out without my consent or maybe as I enter the room, just don’t when I feel sleepy. They say you can make a joke with a drunk person, not with the new awake person. Those girls should thank me that I didn’t fight them back, otherwise I might be in the Guidance Room now. They are lucky enough that I haven’t slept that time.

In less than a week, I might have a record. This face? Will have a record in guidance? Hell no! I look around, it was a big old art room with a locker? Maybe for those people who come here to put the belongings inside of it. I walk closer to the locker and opened it.

There’s a lot. Wait, I just opened the first one. It is full of clothes that can be used if you want to paint. I open the other one, if the first one contains a lot of clothes, this one is paintbrushes, all kinds of brushes, everything is complete. This one is followed by the third one with a lot of paints, different types and colors. This art room contains a lot. Maybe the new art room also has a lot of content.

I put my bag next to the first locker, there’s a table beside it. I get some materials and I will paint to get rid of the irritation in me.

I arrange all of the materials before I start to paint. I no longer thought about what I was going to paint I was just stroking some lines. Of course, I’m careful when applying the paint, it might stain my clothes. I didn’t get the clothes in the locker that I wear before I start. It took me twenty minutes, I’m still stroking. I want it to be perfect.

“Sis?” suddenly someone called me.

“Alexis? Is that you?” I asked while still painting.

“Yes, Sis. I’m sorry if it took me so long. As usual, traffic.” She said.

“It’s okay,” I said while still looking at what I was doing.

“I already brought your--- What happened to you?!” she said.

I close my eyes when she suddenly shouts. It was as if my eardrum had broken a little.

“Who did that to you?” she asked again.

“Wait. Just one question at a time. How can I answer right away if you ask one question after another question?” I said.

“Sorry.” She said with a matching peace sign. I look at her for a moment and turned back my attention to what I was doing.

“In your first question, what happened to me? Someone just poured cold water on me while I’m, you know taking a nap. In your last question, who did it? Jenthrix, he ordered the girl I talked to you about together with her friends.” I explained in a sarcastic tone, but I still not looking at her.

I’m about to finish my painting.

“He did his plan?” she asked. She was shocked by the tone of her voice.

“Yup.”

“What are you doing? Painting?”

“Can’t you state the obvious?”

“Sorry. Wow, that’s nice. Dark colors. You are annoyed by what happened.” She said. She is by my side now.

“You know me very well,” I said. I’m done with my painting.

“Of course.” She said while smiling.

By the time the first subject was over, I looked at my watch. I looked at my work again, beautiful. Alexis, sit on the chair. I took the paper bag where my clothes were kept.

I went to the Girl’s restroom. No one is there, of course, there are still classes. One more hour before the break time. I entered one of the cubicles. I put the paper bag first, there is a shelf here inside the cubicles. I took off my uniform. It’s a bit dry. I took the blouse from the paper bag. I also changed my skirt because it was also a bit wet.

I left the cubicle. I washed my hands first, then I looked in the mirror. Did I do that? I left the place. I can’t help but think of what happened earlier. I no longer have to plan what will I do with Jenthrix. As I was walking down the hallway, my phone rang.

I immediately took my phone out of my pocket and answered it.

(Moshi-Moshi Hime!)

“Oh?”

(Nice answer, eh? Are you not saying Hi or Hello to me?)

“What do you need?” just go straight to the point.,

(Bad trip?)

“No, I’m on a good trip. I’m having fun.” I said sarcastically.

(Really? It’s obvious. In the tone of your voice, you look like you’re going to kill someone.) he said sarcastically.

“A punch from me, you want?” I said coldly.

(If you can hit me. Haha.)

“I can afford to go there to Japan. Why did you call by the way?”

(I just want you to know that we will go home there this coming Saturday. That’s all. Bye.)

“Okay.” Then I turned off the call.

When I turned off the call, I called someone.

I called Michelle to arrange everything for the homecoming of my two cousins.

Annoying, they will go home. I’ll never get the peace I need when they are here. I walked back to the old art room again, then I will think about those two crazy later. When I arrived at the art room, I saw Alexis in front of the painting I had made. Staring it until it melts? I walked closer to her.

“Stare it until it melts?” I said coldly to her.

“Sis, is it bad to look closely? I’m just amazed about it.” She replied.

“Why don’t you learn how to paint?” I asked.

“Eh, I’m not going to take Fine Arts. I’m not good at that. I’m going to take Business Management.” Huh? What happened to her?

“Short question, long answer. Ang ikli ng tanong, ang haba ng sagot.” I said, she just turned around.

“It’s already English, then you repeat it in Tagalog. Seriously?” she asked.

“Enough, I can’t get what are you talking about,” I answered. I don’t know what she’s talking about. Her answer is too far away from my question.

I sat down first. Gosh, those people will annoy me again. They have that habit to annoy me every time I come home. Because they have no siblings. Surely those are still the same attitude. Still bad attitude. Alexis and I spent time together.

I sent Alexis home, I also sent the car home. I went to the Canteen, next to it there is a Cafeteria.

This university has an East wing and West wing, right now I’m on the east wing part of the University. Both East and West wing has a large soccer field.

What if there is an Olympic size pool here? Oh, there is such a thing here. Olympic size pool.

I don’t know what is the difference between the two, you can eat and buy food in Canteen and Cafeteria. I bought a food, I’m a little bit hungry. At the same time, the bell rang, the students are here. A woman stopped here at my table. All of the people are now busy with their food. Why did she stop in front of me?

I hope this is not a trouble.
