After several minutes, Mr. Lewis came, brought his book. The cover seems old. When did he buy that one?
“Young master, I am going to ask you questions then you have to answer it truthfully.”
“Alright. Fire away the questions.” I said and laid my back on the metal bench near the pool while waiting for the questions.
“Do you like a girl or a guy?”
I threw a dark glare at Mr. Lewis. “Do you have a death wish? Do you think I am gay?!”
“Y-Young master, I was just reading the question.”
“Then you should not ask me the questions you already know the answer to!” I irritatingly snapped.
“I'm sorry, young master.” Mr. Lewis wrote down something on the paper.
“Next question is, what kind of girl is he/she? Was she A: demure/gentle or B: snob/brute/wild
“I told you already! She wa
Vivienne‘I really wanted to eat with you.’What does it mean? Why would he ask me that way? Is he changing tactics? Sure he is. That egoistic brute! He might not be over it. I don’t mean to put him into embarrassment. It’s his fault that he was embarrassed. He toyed me! He should know that I am not the kind who he can play around with.“That asshole!”“Huh? Are you referring to me?”I turned to Aria who got flustered from my sudden outburst. In front of us are the mountains of pieces of denim we are folding.I smiled at her. “Not you. I was referring to my asshole classmate who used to pester me.”
Raylie“Seriously? She doesn’t like it?”We were in the cafeteria and having a snack. I just can’t take it. Ms. Heartbreaker didn’t give me a second glance.“Who would like that? Your sense of fashion was… horrible.""And cheap.”I glared at the twins.“Have you eaten a leftover moldy food that you suddenly turned to someone we didn’t know?”“Nah! Loki, he must be a fake. He is not the real Raylie. He must have choked our friend.” Logan yelled, exaggerating the situation.
RaylieWhat? A recorded line? Are they kidding me?I just couldn’t help but get annoyed at the announcer. Who is that punk, huh?“Whoa! I couldn’t believe the broadcasting team was that great. They copied your voice, really well.”Loki leaned his arm on my shoulder. I was in the field already. I couldn’t believe Vivienne pushed me hard just like that. Then, I heard the uproar of the students. My voice was heard in all the corners of Brixtons University, proclaiming myself to a girl. I don’t knowUgh!I breathed harshly. What is Vivienne thinking denying it all? She should be grateful, instead. It’s her time to be popular. If she sticks with me, she'll enjoy the same privileges that the Titans had. She can skip classes without getting failing grades. No one will ever bully her
Raylie“Maybe she was dating someone, young master. That’s why she keeps declining you.” Mr. Lewis said his opinion.I stopped nagging and put down my cutlery. That makes sense. Maybe Vivienne has a boyfriend already and she was just keeping it a secret. She said she wanted a quiet life at school. So, she prefers to date quietly.Argh! I should find the guy! I wanted to know what kind of guy Vivienne liked.The next day, I am busy tailing Vivienne at school. From the time she went to school until the dismissal. And even in her club.In the morning, Jayden approached her in our classroom. He handed her books again. Vivienne gave him some, in exchange. I became observant. What if Jayden was the guy? It’s possible because Jayden quickly accepted Vivienne in the club. What if they were exchanging messages through exchanging
VivienneI went to the club room to send the books I finished reading. I saw Jayden busy chatting with the other members. But when he noticed me, she approached me and took the book from me.“Oh, are you done?” He greeted me. “Thanks for the hard work.”I smiled in return and waited for him to hand me another book. But he went back to the member he was chatting with when I came. I waited for him to finish the conversation. It's been almost fifteen minutes. When he dismissed him, I approached Jayden.“Pres…” I called out.“Yes, Vivienne. Why are you still here?” He frowned his forehead.“W-Well, I am waiting for the other books you’re going to assign to me.” I said in confusion.“Oh, regarding that. I thought you don’t want to do it.”
Raylie “The supervisor asked me not to come tonight. There’s nothing to do there. But it’s okay. I worked 24hours. I have been in since yesterday after school, remember? My salary would be the same even if I didn’t come to work tonight.” “Whoa! That company's management seems to be very willing to let you work based on your own time.” “Yeah! That’s why I am thankful they accepted me into the company.” I was flustered to hear that. Or did I just hear it wrong? Is she really working? But where? And what kind of work? She was not even eighteen so how did she manage to enter a company? Did she lie about her age? But that’s not easy since most of the companies require authenticated documents. Except if she was just working part-time in some convenience stores, food chains, and café? I flicked my fingers. That was it! She must be
VivienneI excitedly opened the envelope with my salary. Those who were working part-time like me, get their salary over-the-counter. Only those who were regular employees have bank account cards and were paid every fifteenth and last working day every month.But I frowned as I counted the money from my envelope.“W-What is this?” I murmured as I counted it for the second and third times. It really doubled my supposed salary.“Huh? Is there any problem, Vivienne?” Aria asked as she approached me. Maybe she heard what I just said.I turned to Aria and showed her all the money in my hands. “Look at this, Aria. Maybe they gave me the wrong envelope.”“Really?” Aria got curious as well. “Look for the name on the back of the envelope.”I followed her ins
Vivienne “I’m still sleepy…” I yawned and put down the book I am trying to read.I am alone in the classroom. Sheena invited me to dine with her at their family restaurant but I declined. Aside from the fact that I need to finish these books, I am also saving up. I wanted to buy a new scooter. I think using my old one wasn’t wise. It’s always in the auto repair shop. Since I have a salary increase, I surely can save for a new one. But for the meantime, I'll endure the old thing.I sighed and started to read again. Someone took the other book and sat above my table.“What are these? Are you trying to kill yourself?”I raised an eyebrow. “How can reading books kill one's self?”Raylie flipped the pages. He doesn’t seem interested in the book. He was ju
