13 Pretend as a couple

I have no sleep but it's school days and I shouldn't be absent and missed lot of lessons for this day.

I regret of going out last night and went home, already morning. How stupid of me.

Done preparing everything and now ready to go to School. I'll just commute now Ezriel is still upstairs and getting ready for work.

I stepped outside of the house and went to gate and walk directly to go.

I looked the time to my wrist watch and saw that I'll be late if I will commute so I decided to just take a Jeep or maybe a taxi but it's seems like this village was not found of jeeps and taxis so I walked faster 'till I got to where has lots of people and students like me and then joined them inside the jeep.

Everyone on the jeep telling to the driver where they should be drap to so I did it too and I'm enjoying it because I've never been in this situation ever since I moved to Spain.

The feeling was different.

"bayad. pakiabot naman po"

         Translation : [ here's the money. please pass it].

Said by the girl seating to the other side of me. So I get the money she's handing to me and give it to the driver.

"salamat"

       Translation : [ Thank you]

She said again and smiled to me. I nodded and look at the path we are taking then said stop when I saw the School.

"para! dito na po manong".

        Translation : [ stop! Drop me here]

I said and then got down to the Jeep and walk towards the School's gate and went inside.

The Guard look at me and asked for the ID so I gave it to him.

"your ID?"

I handed it to him and give it back to me after so I walked inside the school and went to my room.

Maybe I'm very late now. When I went inside our class room Miss Margaret look at me and said.

"why are you late miss Avadel?"

I shrug and then went to my seat.

"I'm sorry miss. It's traffic"

I said and sat down. She rolled her eyes at me then turned to board and to my classmates.

Our classes went through. Untill it's break time. I'm so sleepy right because I didn't sleep yet and just go here. Kries Mae followed on the cafeteria and sat down on the table.

"Who will order me or you?"

She asked and I just sat down and look at her to tell that she's the one who will our foods. I watched her stood up and went to lined up and then put my arm on the table and rested my head on my arms.

I'm so sleepy and I want sleep but I can't. This is really boring. After a while Kries get back on our table and put down the tray then sat down very lazy and sleepy like me.

"I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep right now but we can't. This is my fault I'm sorry you have to be involved."

I shook my head to what she said and then grabbed my food then eat it. She did it too and when we finished. we are about to go but someone intended her feet waylaid on the floor to ceased me and fell on the floor but I kicked it and she groaned.

Even if I'm sleepy I still know what's happening on my surrounding. I'm not stupid to be dumb and fool.

Ecka and her friends stood up and approached the girl who waylaid her feet on the floor just to ceased me.

She gritted her teeth and glare at me but I just ignored them. I'm not in the mood and fighting back to nonsense human are time's wasted.

So we get to our way out of the cafeteria and went to somewhere here at school to get a nap.

But before we definitely get out of the place Ecka grabbed my hair angrily.

What hell it hurts.

I grabbed her wrist tightly that pulling my hair and kicked her stomach using my knee and that made her take off her hands on my hair.

I'm so mad and very grumpy right because I haven't sleep yet the whole night and it's freaking bullshit.

It really hurts and I have an headache because of Ecka pulling my hair and also because I don't have a sleep. The pain are mixing.

I angrily looked at Ecka and punched her face and she fell asleep on the cafeteria's floor. I quickly get the hell out of there and Kries followed me with a winded eyes.

Surely because she was shocked at what just happened a while now.

"owh. That was so hurt in the ass I will surely guess."

We sat down on the bench of the school's park. I did not intend to punched her I was just triggered to fight back because of what I am feeling right.

She's stupid and very dumb fool. Ecka pushed my limits on this day. It's her fault that without knowing I'm already grumpy and moody right now got her a bad luck for pushing my limits.

"I will bet. Ecka would say this to her parents like a crying baby"

Kries said and we laughed to what she said. I shook my head while laughing at the imagination about Ecka crying infront of her parents complaining to what I did to her.

We're just laughing when someone spoke at our back so we turned our head at the direction and Fernand was there standing, watching us.

We stood up and Fernand went closer to us.

"I know what you did Khiella"

He said and I just nodded. I forgot that his teaching here on the University and also an Psychologist.

Of course he'll know what I did because he was there or just heard the news from the students who witnessed to what just had happened.

"she's on the School's clinic right now. What's the reason why did you do it to her?".

He said and then shook his head before turning to Kries.

"she's the one who started. I didn't do anything to her until one of her friends tried to ceased me and she went to me angrily then grabbed my hair."

I told him and rolled my eyes. Why am I explaining it to me?. This is nothing that should be keep and just forget it.

I look at Kries who is just quite when Fernand came. She looked away and then said she need to go to the comfort room.

Fernand watched her leaving us alone and then turned to me.

"now Khiella your class is done. So better you go home now before Ezriel knows about it."

How can he say that my class are already done when it's just an half hours that left and I still have two classes to attend.

"I won't do that. I still have two classes to attend"

He looked me with disbelief and then grabbed my arm and pulled me to go somewhere.

"hey where are you taking me Fernand. Get off me"

I said but he just continue pulling me until we got the parking lot and forced me to get into his car.

Owh come on what the hell is wrong with him. Seriously? Grabbed and pulled me her on his car?. What's up to him?.

He got in and starts the engine. I don't know where we will go.

"What is your problem dude?. Stop the car and drop me off".

I said and glared at him but he doesn't care.

"I will drop to Ezriel's Company. He asked me to take you there"

He said. I calmed down when got remembered that Ezriel told me about the schedule.

My work will starts this afternoon. 4:30 pm when I have classes to attend. He also told me that he already talk to the principal of the University about my Schedule of Schooling and working.

After an hour we finally arrived to the company and went inside after.

The guard greeted us as we walk inside of the company.

We got to the office and Ezriel was there on his swivel chair. He looked up to me and Fernand then stood up on his seat.

"you can go now Fernand thanks".

Fernand nodded and leave after. I was left alone with Ezriel he looked at me and asked about what happened at school. Of course it was expected that they will report it to him.

"what happened. Why did you punch your classmate named Ecka?"

He asked and stared at me intently waiting for my answer. Do I feel like I was obligated to explain everything or to tell him everything about something that happened or will happened to me.

This is so freaking stupid. To what happened to School was just an only unintentional. It's not my intention to hurt her like that. But the hell she started it with her friends dammit.

"well. It's her fault after all. Not mine. She started it first".

I said defending myself. But heck why I am doing shits?. Is it allowed that I should always explain everything and defend myself from this?.

I've never been like this since I been part of the Illegal in Spain.

When I always did something they don't like they're forcing me to explain myself but I didn't do it. Because I'm tired proving and explaining myself.

Why would I explained and proved myself when they won't believe you after?. You just waste your time and saliva to those people who already have their own understanding and belief that will never change. But will regret after if everything was too late.

People will never understand you. No one will be your ally only just yourself.

When Every time I tried to clear my name, to clear myself clean in the eyes of judgmental people, always turned down. Because they already have perspectives, beliefs and judgments to you, they think it's the truth even in reality and the fact that they are definitely wrong.

But this time the feeling was different and I don't like it or Maybe I'm oblige to explain anything is to repay him by what he did to me was all good and kindness so maybe it is really is the reason why do I feel this.

I sigh and then look at him.

"is that it?"

I nodded and he told me to go to my vehicle and seat and do my work now.

When I sat down. I immediately turned on the computer and went to my social media account and then save the video of Ecka's scandal. I put it to the secret files of the computer on the settings.

I have no plan of blackmailing her but I can use this some other time. I know Ecka would be more competitive and her insecurities of jealousy will triggered her do such things and so I want to be prepared at the possibilities.

After a while I finished all the works and rescheduled. It's already six o'clock and I'm sure Ezriel wants coffee so I stood up and  went outside.

I was directly walking back to the office when accidentally I banged with someone.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it. Excuse me"

I said and look up to the person I banged with. And it's a women standing infront of me.

She look at me head to toe and raise her eyebrow.

"are you dumb?. You are not looking to your way that's why you don't know that you will hit someone because of your stupidity!"

said by her in so irritation and she walk away from me in a hurry. I rolled my eyes because of what I encountered.

Why life are full of unexpected and surprises even when you don't need it because sometimes the unexpected and surprises that you will experience is annoying.

I continued going back to the office and when I got to the office. The woman earlier was there.

They are talking and got interrupted when I came inside. Ezriel look at me as the woman raised her eyebrow while looking at me.

"who is she Ezriel?"

He stood up then the women did the same. Ezriel went to me and turned to her.

"Auntie she's Khiella my fiance."

He said and that shocked me. This women is his Auntie?. And one what the heck is he doing?. Why would he say that I'm his Fiance?.

The Woman raised her eyebrow again and look at me head to toe.

"your fiance? Ezriel?. Why we don't know about this?"

She asked while still raising her eyebrow looking at us.

"I didn't tell you or to others in our family because I want it to be in private and just stay in a low key relationship."

I turned to him and give him an confused expression. He put his arm around my waist that makes my body felt an electricity.

"is this serious?"

"yes Auntie".

The women look frustrated while looking at us.

"how is this happened?. Why she here then?. Don't tell me she's working here to you?".

I just watched the woman being so frustrated about this.

"you are not mistaken. She's working here on my company because she choose to be with me"

What the hell is he talking about. And why am I letting him making stories about us. Me? Will choose to be with him in works? So is he saying or emphasizing that I'm crazy over him?.

Heck! That will never happen. In his dream and what ever is up to him and to this women infront of us right now is all freaking nonsense.

"I gotta go now. We'll talk some other time. Bye"

She said and walked towards the door and went out of the office. I turned to Ezriel and made distance.

"kinda tell me what's with story and a show?".

I said he just went to his desk and sat down.

"you'll just know. But now when my relatives or family went here then they saw you. We should pretend like a couple."

I cannot understand why we have to pretend like we are a couple. And guess what we're engage the heck of him.

"and you think I can help you with this?. Owh come on. I can help you with the cases and here on your company but not this one".

I said in irritation and frustrated. He looked at me expressionless that annoyed me more.

"just do what I said. Remember that you have to oblige me on whatever I commanded or ordered you to do because you owe me for helping and letting you stay on my place and one more thing. I'm paying your tuition. You are studying because of me."

He said and focused on his work. I hate him. I'm returning my words that he is kind and a good man because his not.
