Marcus's angel

"Here's your jacket when you feel cold. I also put a mini electric fan inside your bag incase you feel hot." Said, Wilton. "I turned your alarm on earlier when it's time to eat lunch, breakfast and dinner. Do not foget to eat, Gel, okay? You always skip dinner to study," Wilton reminded his only daughter. "I already put your favorite blanket inside the suitcase. Becareful when you-"

"Yes, dad, But you should have let me fixed my own things. I'm not a kid anymore, incase you forgot, I'm 18." Angel chuckled a bit. "Don't forget to drink your medicine, okay? I'll send you money as soon as I find a job." Angel fixed her hair and gave his dad a kiss on its cheek. "Take care, dad. I will miss you."

Angel's dad, Wilton, smiled to his daughter and kissed her forehead. "Ah, you're not a kid anymore but you're still my princess. My and your Mom's angel."

They were laughing and having a daughter-father moment when a doorbell interrupts, a sign that Angel's aunt, Miseralda, is here to pick her up. Angel looked at her father, nervously. Wilton just gave her a sweet smile to make Angel less nervous. He walked towards the door to open it and welcome his wife's sister, a.k.a his sister in law.

Miseralda is the sister of Angel's Mom who passed away 11 years ago. She's the only sister of Angel's mother and she's here to take care of her niece. Angel have to live with her aunt for now until she finish college. Angel was smart so the friend of her aunt Miseralda accepted her as their scholar.

Miseralda and her husband is not that rich, She thinks that her only job is to take care of the only daughter of her sister. She'll just have to give Angel a food on the table, a comfortable bed, a roof to cover its head, and a home. At first, Roland, Miseralda's husband, didn't agreed because he thought that Angel is a snob and ignorant girl, but the truth is, Angel is just a quiet and serious person. An Independent and responsible one.

Good thing Miseralda didn't stopped asking him to welcome Angel and at the end, he said yes. After all, they don't have a child.

"Gel? Are you ready?"

Yna nodded before looking at her father again. She smiled and hugged him for the last time. She's really going to miss her father so much. She doesn't want to leave, but she can't loose this opportunity. This is the way for her bright future.

"Study well, think about your future, my Angelica." Wilton smiled as Angel slowly walked away.

When she reached her aunt's car, she looked back and smiled before entering the car. She immediately looked at the window to look at her father. She smiled a bit and waved her hands on him.

Out of boredome, she put on her old earphones that she got 7 years ago. It was her dad's gift for her when she turned 11.

While enjoying the music, also the view, Angel can't stop thinking about failing. 'What if I failed? Dad would be so dissapointed, also Aunt Miseralda. I should work hard more', She thought. She doesn't even know what lays ahead. No one knows what's waiting for her in the fututre. Angel is just hoping that it would turn out well and she's choosing the right decision.

She immediately thought of her studies, she's planning to advance review even though the school haven't start yet. She only has 1 week before the school start. For others, 1 week is enough but for Angel, it wasn't. If she can't review enough in that 1 week, she'll definetly gonna fail. Well, that's what she think.

"Angel!"

Angel looked at her aunt when she yelled. "H-huh?" She asked.

"We are here, are you okay? Is there a problem you wanna share, Gel?"

By the over thinking of failing, Angel didn't realize that they already arrived at her aunt's house. She immediately nodded and smiled a bit. She grab her bags before she stalk her Aunt from behind.

The house wasn't that big, it's just simple. It only has two floors, but for Angel, It's already big and enough. She immediately fixed her things. She organized her staffs to her new room, a new comfort zone of her new life.

She placed down her family picture beside her bed. She looked at it for a moment and smiled.

"I'll be fine here, Dad. I'm sure aunt Miseralda will take a good care of me. I love you, She smiled, "...and Mom, your dream for me is going to happen soon. I will work and study hard as much as I can, I wouldn't fail you. I will be a great architecture like you, soon."

'And I will draw our dream house when that happens. I will also make our dream bussines... A coffee shop.' She said, on her mind.

"Gel?"

Angel looked at the door when someone knocked. She stood up to open the door, only to see her aunt.

"Are you okay?" Miseralda asked when she saw Angel teared up. Angel immediately wiped her tears. "Why? Something wrong?"

"Nothing, uhm... So why are you here, aunt Miseralda? Anything I can help?" Angel asked, wearing a smile on her face to assure her aunt that she is okay.

"Oh uhm... Nothing," Miseralda shooked her head. I just want to call you because it's time fore dinner."

"Okay, you can go down first, I just have to pee." Angel excused before closing the door. She have a small bathroom inside her room.

Angel sighed as she sat down in the toilet bowl. Long story short, she went down to eat dinner with her aunt. She saw her uncle just arrived from work. She pulled the chair to sit down infront of the dinning table. She start to eat out of hungriness because of the long ride earlier.

"What on earth do we have here?" Angel heard her uncle Roland said. It was just a whisper but it was loud enough for Angel to hear it. "You didn't tell me that she'll be here tonight!" He shouted and whisper to Miseralda. "Tommorow is my day off, and also, you have an appointment tommorow at the office! I might be dead tommorow before you get home."

Angel laughed a bit when she heard what Roland said. 'Am I a deadly creature?', she said on mind and laughed again.

Angel is beautiful like heaven, she's the living angel. She might be snob, sometimes, also serious, but she has a pure heart.

"Gel?"

Angel stopped eating for a while to look at her aunt from behind. She saw Roland who looks nervous but still keep smiling at her.

"This is Roland, my husband," said, Miseralda. "I hope you still remember him."

"Of course..." Angel nodded.

"Uh... I hope we get along?.... Wax Gel-" He faked cough, "I mean... Gel, A-angel."

Angel smiled and nodded. They eat dinner together before Angel went upstairs to read some books that her aunt bought from school.

She wants to advance review her lessons. She already knew this wouldn't be easy for her. Soon after she review, she went down stairs to drink a glass of water. She suddenly stopped walking in the stairs when she heard her aunt and uncle arguing.

"If something bad happen tomorrow, all the blame is to wax Gel," She heard her Uncle.

"It's Gel, Angel." Miseralda rolled her eyes, "And what an innocent angel can do to you? You are a mascular man for pete sake, Roland! What are you scared about?"

"She is ignorant and grumpy! She is scary." Roland hugged his self. Miseralda can't do anything but to laugh at her husband.

"Grow up, Roland." Miseralda laughed.

Days has passed, before the day of back to school Angel decided to buy things for her back to school, using the money that her aunt gave her.

"Here, buy all the things you need, okay?" Aunt told Angel, "I'm going to the grocery, call me if you need anything. The grocery is just two blocks away."

"Yes, aunt Miseralda." Angel nodded before leaving her aunt, as she get a cart to buy school supplies.

She was busy buying her things at the store, when she suddenly bumped into someone that she have known for a long time.

"Sorry, Miss-" The guy suddenly stopped when she saw Angel.

"No, I'm sorry. I didn't looked where I'm going-" Angel suddenly stopped talking when she realize that the guy was still looking at her, not moving. "Uhm... Are you okay?"

"A-angel?! Is that you?" said, the guy, wich made Angel frown. "Br-Brian! I'm Brian Echaves. We've been friends for a long time."

"BJP?" Angel asked, making sure it was her childhood friend, "Brian John Pablo?" She asked.

"Yes! It's me, how are you? It's been a long time since we saw each other." Brian giggled.

The next move he did made Angel surprised. He hugged her as if they were close. They were just friends at elementary days, not bestfriends.

"Oh uhm... Sorry," Brian felt a bit shy, he scratch the back of his hair to escape the awkwardness. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, how about you? You're having a vication here?" Angel asked.

"No, I actually live here. How about you? having vication with your dad? or... Mom?" Brian asked, hoping Angel would say that she will live here.

Brian has a huge crush on Angel back then. He is secretly liking the quiet and serious girl. He never been this happy seeing her again.

"No, uhm... I'm just here to study. I will be studying here for college." Angel smiled.

"Oh... Is that so?" Brian nodded, "What unuversity are you in?"

"M-Maxwell University," Angel answered,

"R-really?! I'm also studying in Maxwell! Good for us, huh?" Brian gave Angel an amused smile, "What bussines does your family have? Maxwell is really expensive, there is no way someone can afford that if they're not rich-"

"Yeah, I'm studying in Maxwell, but don't get me wrong, I'm just a scholar here. We don't have that kind amount of money, too expensive." Angel laughed nervously, scared that Brian might judge her. "I'm actually looking for jobs here."

"Oh.." Brian nodded, "You might be smart or good at sports that's why you are a... scholar," He pursed his lips. He faked coughed as he put his hands inside his pocket and smiled a bit, "You're looking for job right? I can offer you some! Well, my Mom was planning to buy another bussines, it's coffee shop and we still haven't found any workers yet, I can tell her that we can hire you."

"Wha-what? No... No thank you," Angel waved her hands, a sign that she's saying no. "I appreciate your offer, but I want you to hire me if I can prove my self that I suit that job. It's going to be okay if I'll be having a job interview so you can still decide. You can't just trust and hire me like that."

"Oh, come on Angel." Brian chuckled, "I've known you for years. When we were still first year highschool, I already knew that you are a trusted and responsible person. I'm sure you can handle the job. I believe in you."

"But-"

"Okay, okay. Fine." Brian giggled. He puts Angel's hair beside her ears so it wouldn't block her face, so he can see it clearly. "So.. we'll meet you on Sunday for the job interview?"

"Yeah, thanks," Angel smiled sweetly, "See you.."

Later that day, when she got home, she immediately fixed her bagpack and school staffs. She organized it so she wouldn't be frustrated looking for reviewers, Yep! She already made her reviewers, she really wants to advance review.

Angel is now less nervous, knowing that she's not going to be alone in school. She knows that she have Brian as a friend.

She now have a friend.

"Gel? Are you busy?"

Gel looked at the door when it opened. It was her aunt, holding a food tray. Angel smiled at her and put down her papers that's she's writing on for the reviewers she made for the upcoming lessons.

"No, I'm not, aunt Miseralda. Why?"

"Oh, I just brought this food for you. You seem a bit busy and I don't want to disturb you so I brought your dinner here, inside your room." Miseralda said as she put the tray at the edge of the bed. "Studying?"

"Yes, for upcoming lessons." Angel smiled a bit.

"You remind me of your mother," Miseralda whispered. She immediately looked away, so as Angel. "Okay! I'm going down now. Enjoy eating your dinner and.... study hard." Miseralda winked at Angel before leaving the room.

The next day, Angel woke up at 6:30 in the morning. She did her routine inside the bathroom before she went down for breakfast. She was running down the stairs while tying up her hair into pig tail. Today, she's not wearing a uniform because she's a transferee and still haven't got her uniform.

She's wearing a black pants partnered with dark green tank top. She also puts on a red checkered polo, all buttons open. It was just simple and comfortable.

When she reach the dinning area, she realize that her aunt isn't here, only Roland. She sat down beside him as she get a loaf of bread.

"Morning... Wax gel." Roland greeted.

"Morning," Angel greet back with a smile one her face, not minding what Roland called her.

"Uhm... Miseralda have work today," Roland informed her, still looking at the news paper.

"I see," Angel nodded.

The awkward moment they felt didn't end until Angel stood up to get her bag. It's already 7:00 in the morning and class should start at 8:00.

"I'm leaving," She informed Roland as she wear the lace of her bag on her arm.

"Good," Roland suddenly threw up his coffee inside his mouth when he realized what he said. "I mean.... it's too early but fine you can go," Roland smiled nervously.

"Okay," Angel chuckled before leaving him.

She just walks to school, she knew that this would be her routine every morning.

She stopped walking and looked at the school from afar. She wants to see the place she would be in for months. She felt a bit nervous seeing a lot of luxurious cars parked in the parking area. She also saw a lot of girls wearing designer clothes that cost 4 digits, she felt insecure as she looked down at her clothes who she bought from thrift store. Angel's clothes only cost 1 to 2 digit, while her classmates clothes cost 4 digits. She thinks that this year would be really hard for her to fit in, but it doesn't matter, what's matter for her is to study and achieve her goals in life.

Angel sighed and was about to cross the road when a reckless driver drove its car fast and was almost hit Angel.

Out of surprise and nervousness, Angel fell into the ground. She looked up only to see a group of guys getting out of the car.

"Hey, are you okay?" One of them asked, the one who's wearing eye glasses. He kneel down to check Angel, "We are so sorry, we didn't saw you."

'He looks like a nerd, but he's handsome', Angel said to her mind. Yes, the boy was handsome wearing his eye glasses. He looks smart and responsible too.

"I-it's fine." Angel nodded and smiled a bit. "I'm sorry, I'm t-too reckless for not looking where I'm going."

"No, it's not your fault," One of them said. The one who's wearing a shirt and gray jacket, also wearing a headset on its neck. "It was his fault," He said with a smirky smile on his face while pointing on the other guy.

"Wha-what?!" The guy who was blamed by the other one raised a brow, "How can that be my fault?! She's the one who crossed the road without looki-" He suddenly stopped and looked at Angel's innocent face, he can't help it, she was too beautiful for him to be blame on. "Yeah, it was my fault. Sorry." the guy smiled a bit. "I'm Jim, and I want to make it up to you. Mind if I ask for your number? Maybe I can treat you at fancy resturants some time." he smirked.

"Smooth~" The other guy's chuckled except from the other one.

Jim is a playboy, he really likes pretty and sexy girls. He doesn't care wether they are poor or not, as long as they're wearing a beautiful face, that's enough.

"No need. I'm fine." Angel smiled a bit.

"But you almost hit by my car! And it was under my control, I'm the one who's driving and I am so reckless for almost hitting you," He panicked a bit, he never been rejected before. Jim has a handsome face, he is also a mascular man. No one thinks of rejecting a guy like him. "You might end up in the hospital! Or worst you died-"

"Hey!" The guy who's wearing the headset warned him. "Don't take it too far, let's just be happy that..." He looked into Angel's eyes.

"A-Angel... That's my name." Angel looked away, she feels uncomfortable if someone looks at her straight into her eyes. She doesn't like that.

"Angel," Said by the guy. "Good thing she's fine." He faked cough before looking at Angel again. "Mark by the way." he offered his hands as Angel accept it.

Angel was surprised when all of them hand their hands, Angel have to accept all of it as a respect and not to look rude.

"Idiots! Come in now!"

A guy from the car shouted. Angel looked at the car to see the man who shouted in a very rude tone. Too bad the car was tinted.

"We have to go now." Mark smiled and was about to walk to leave when he stopped for a bit to say something to Angel. He faked cough and fixed his eye glasses, "Be careful next time... You might break your beautiful face, Miss Angel." he said as he left.

Angel stood up and just walked to school. She went inside the woman's restroom to fix her self. She was so scared earlier. Now she look exhausted.

After fixing her self, she proceed to her first class. She feel a bit nervous to introduce her self. She was born like this.. Shy and soft hearted.
