Chapter 8

I'd been in his home for about 2 weeks. We weren't exactly on talking terms. He told me to call him Sky. I had also roamed the whole of his building. Don't think too far. I did give the tenants their privacy. I'd managed to complete 3 of his history books. I basically lived in his room as a house help. I cleaned the room and others in return for any delicacy I could get. The human also explained to me everything I needed to know about a phone. The deals with Facebook,WhatsApp and other social media platforms. I'd also learn ta thing or two about the gang members. Basically, their ages and what they majored in. Kathy and Josh majored in Law,the others in Computer Engineering. Sky's education seemed a bit more complicated. English had been added to his course. I had no idea it's about.

I was in the couch sipping a cup of hot coffee when Skylar entered holding two bags.One,his school bag. The other ,I couldn't place my finger on. He wore a smug expression. I looked at him from over the book I was reading. Taking a few strides,he sat close to me.

" I'm sorry for getting distant these past few days" he apologized . I did accept the apology but wasn't going to play as stupid as Kathy did.

" To atone for the ignorance we are going out. I mean.. I want you from to today to accompany me to school he" added. I merely shrugged as I continued to read the book ,sipping the coffee.

" I got you some chocolate" ,he said bringing out a box from the bag he carried.

Who did Sky think he was, trying to bribe me with chocolate. I looked him as he spoke. He saw my expression and quieted down.

" And a box of lemon cake plus rice congee". This human was wicked. He literally used my favorite stuff against me. My wall finally broke down and I gave in.

" Fine " I said, dropping the book on the center table, licking my lips in the process.

" But first,you've got to change your outfit" he spoke

" In here?" I asked. My brows knitted.

" Of course not. The building would think this place is on fire once I light the clothes" he shook his head. " Lets head out"

I got up,ready to move. He followed me out ,closing the door shut as we moved. We - mostly him - descended the building by elevator whilst I just walked through walls till I reached the front yard of the building. I crossed my hands, resting on the wall as I waited for his arrival.

" Showoff " he smiled once he saw me. I rolled my eyes in turn. He took out the very same metal bowl and some clothes.Dropping some clothes in,he burnt them. I looked at myself. I was wearing a sleeveless bright red knee length dress and heels. I looked at his face.

." I don't know about you. But is this how you'd allow your daughter dress for school?. Like she's going to a night party over at her lover's ?"I asked. " There's no way I'm going out looking like this" I yelled.

He smiled mischievously before roaming his hands through his blonde hair. He dropped another set of clothe in the bowl and burnt them once again. Finally something more appropriate. I was wearing a pink and white off shouldered crop top, shorts midway my thighs and dark brown ankle boots. My hair was tied in a neat ponytail.

" Thanks a lot" I said twirling around like a kid. I abruptly stopped when I saw him size me up.

" Don't you think we'd run late for school?" . his shook his head as if coming out of a spell .

He lighted an incense. I looked at him wondering, why he and his friends were the only ones who paid merit at the gates to the monks and lighted incense in their rooms. It wasn't a bad thing but basically upon roaming through the rooms of others,he and his friends were the only ones who did so. Even the gang looked different. I snapped out of my thoughts when he called my name. Responding quickly I followed him outside to his car. The first time I'd done so since I set foot in his building.I squinted as I entered sunlight . He opened the door, enabling me sit comfortably in the front. He jumped into the driver's seat and started the engine whilst I crossed my legs. The car picked off and we started our journey to Oxford. I looked through the window, chin resting in my palms,elbows resting on my crossed leg. Oxford,Oxford ,Oxford. I kept repeating the name of the school in my head.

" Which country are we in?" I asked him. The car nearly came to a halt.

" England " he answered my question astonished by my question.

The school looked very familiar - I guess. I got down from the car immediately it accelerated to the parking lot. How important was Sky?. The school even had VIP spot for his car. I looked around twirling with my arms stretched out. I stopped when my eyes met his.

" What?" I asked as he made his way towards me , his hand behind his back.

He lowered his height. His nose way to close mine, giving me a very stern look.

" Cute - adorable but dirty at times" he said before raising his height. Was that supposed to be a compliment or an insult?..

I followed him as we made our way out the lot. As soon as we entered,a lot of girls rushed towards him passing through me in the process. Lucky I wasn't someone with flesh because the pace at which they rushed could be classified under mob action. I looked back at Sky who was crowded with females. It only made me wonder if he could breathe. I decided to look around during the distraction. I walked down the many paths in the school,each side enveloped with trees. I studied the faces of almost every student I passed by. There were many races. By far, I hadn't seen any people that looked like the gang. The school was really grand. It had lots of faculties. I passed by a few. I finally reached a particular faculty - the faculty of medicine. I didn't know why I walked up to that point .

I held my forehead as my other arm reached out to the bark of a tree for support . I felt dizzy. I slid down to the ground . Images flashed through my head as I sat on the ground in an almost crouched position.

A teacher walked to me directing me on how to make some sort of concussion. I pushed my glassesforward as I bent down, looking at the concussion which turned brown after vigorous shaking by the teacher.

I held my head tight and winced in pain. I heard my name being mentioned far off. A figure loomed over me and mentioned my name. I looked up to meet the eyes of Skylar. He crouched down beside me, examining me like a sick patient .

" What's wrong with you?" he asked ,earning a few turned heads of people passing by.

" Umm.. I ...I. ..don't know" my words were jumbled . "I think I used to be a student here" I responded to his question in pain with my head bowed.

" It's a great start but don't think too much. Looks like you're going through much pain trying to recollect your memories. Please stop it" he whispered in order not to get more attention.

I nodded and finally looked at this appearance. He was covered in love stickers. Lots and lots of love stickers. Even his face had quite a number of kiss marks on it. Seriously,how big was this kid?. I almost forgot my plight and laughed at him. I slowly got up and adjusted my hair. Apparently,when those psychos walked through me, ghost as i may seem,they managed to make some strands fall out from my hair. I tucked them behind an ear.

" Savages!" I hissed when I finished grooming myself.

" You haven't seen nothing yet. Just wait till I get to throw some balls in the court" he chuckled.

We started walking towards his faculty, taking a route with fewer people. He said it was to avoid females as much as possible. I picked up a conversation during our walk.

" What's your nationality?. You don't entirely look like these people "I asked him.

" I'm not one of them. I'm a mixed breed. I'm half Thai and Korean. Thai from my dad and Korean from my mom". My mouth formed an O as he said so. I kept on asking more questions.

" Then why are you here?. I mean I've seen you from the very moment you were little"

" My parents initially lived in Asia but moved here to mourn my grandfather who died in England. That's the tomb by yours in the graveyard. My parents decided to settle here. Then dad passed away some years later. So we moved to the states where I went to boarding school. That's how I met AJ. He's British and Thai,also mixed. We both applied for Oxford". That explained the beauty the gang had.

" Okay, how about your other members?" I asked eager to know.

" Well ,the other two are also mixed breeds. We all sort of met in the States. But I've known Kate the longest. Her family and mine have known each other before I was born. Josh is Chinese and Thai but Kathy's a bit weird. Her mom is Thai and Indian, her dad, Australian. So... I think that's all you need to know for now" he ended.

" How about me?. what do I look like. I can't actually see my reflection" I asked

" I can't tell but all I can say is you'll probably be mixed. You've got the slit eyes and face. But the figure " he whistled. " Let's just wait and find out" he ended.

I smiled when he said that. We had reached his faculty. I read out loud the relief in his building.

" I think you should clean the extra makeup on your face before we enter the faculty" I suggested. He tilted, took out some wet wipes and wiped off all the extras he had on his face.

" Thanks" he muttered as we walked. He said something which made me flush red without his notice. I decided to ignore him but he kept on speaking.

" You may not know your identity but you have a rare kind of beauty. That I can say confidently " he smiled.

The guy was such a flirt. A very seductive mixed breed, good looking one at that.
