Epic

I BID goodbye to Mom when I heard the horn of a car outside our house. I went out immediately afterward. Nica's car window was down as she peeked at me, "Come on in, Andy," Nica said to me so I turned to the other side to get on.

But my smile immediately faded when I saw who was with Nica in the back. But I just ignored him and had no choice but to take a seat beside him.

"Wait! It’s too crowded here in the back! I'll just sit there next to you," Nica suddenly said to their driver. I immediately frowned at what I heard.

"Nica!" I said with my eyes glaring at her, I was the only one who overreacted, and Clein on the other hand has his face with no expression.

"Oh, she's being defensive!" Nica said, teasing me. And I couldn’t stop her from getting out of the car to move to the front.

"Let's go, Felipe," Nica innocently said to their driver as if she didn't do anything to annoy me. And as the car started moving, Nica was just blabbering on, in the front. While me and Clein here in the back were having a dead air. Too quiet.

"You two are too quiet in there!" Nica complained in the front. None of us answered her back. And so, Nica smirked at us and lean to his driver and whisper something to him and I could see that her driver seemed to be un-easy about the thing she just whispered. Now, what kind of ‘good idea’ is this woman planning?

"B-but, ma’am, what if we’re—" Felipe was just about to say something but Nica stopped him.

"I'll take care of it, Felipe! Just go ahead and hurry!" Nica said while giggling.

Clein and I both frowned at what they were talking about. I was just about to ask Nica when my handkerchief suddenly fell in front of Clein’s seat. He took it at the same time I was about to reach my hands to it. But we were surprised when the driver suddenly steps on the brake so hard, that resulted to...

I got pushed in the front of the seat, so as Clein! And I just found myself on top of Clein. And before I could even react, Nica opened the door in the back seat where we’re seated. And her eyes got widened when she saw our position and to make it worse, we are here in front of the school already, so some students saw our position too.

"Mind standing up?" I came back to my senses when I heard Clein talked. And in instant, I feel my cheeks starting to heat up.

"Are you—" when I felt Clein’s hand touch my shoulder, I already found myself running out of the car and enter the Academy’s premises. I even heard Nica's voice calling me, but I’m too embarrassed to even look back.

Why the hell is this happening to me?! Ever since that perverted man came into my life, every day is a day of either trouble and embarrassment. That jerk!

I HAVE been restless in my seat since earlier because of what happened earlier. And it was spread like a wild fire. Those who saw us earlier, they immediately spread it to others, so in the end, I feel like everyone’s talking about me right now. I can even feel their stares at me.

"Yes, that's her! It's a pity that I didn't get a picture of what happened!"

"Really!? She’s really on top of Clein?!"

"Tss that trash is really hiding her true colors, hoe!"

"Can you all be quiet?!" Nica yelled to the girls who gossip outside our classroom. They’re constantly checking me out through the door. Because our teacher hasn’t arrived yet, that’s why they can do that now.

"Hmm, Andy, I'm really sorry!" Nica apologizes to me again. We are now sitting inside our classroom.

"It’s nothing, Nica, it's okay! But… that was really embarrassing!" I dipped my face into my bag again to hide it.

"Shoo! Go back to your classrooms!" I heard Nica drive away those students outside our room.

"Ouch! What are you doing?!" I stood up when I heard Nica's voice as if she was in pain. And here we are again, Sophie and her fake friends. Nica is being held by her two henchmen.

"Hmm, your real stench has really come out now," she said as she keeps on walking around me while looking at me as if I am a mere dirty creature in her sight.

"I wonder why you don't have a dad? Aha! I know the answer!" my fist clenched at what she said.

"Don't include my parents in your desperation," I irritatedly said to her while my eyes are just resting on the whiteboard.

"Oh, she's getting brave. Hmm maybe, I’m thinking the right thing. You don't have a father, because your mother is a h*e that you inherited. It runs in the genes, eh? Hmm, what a n—"

I didn’t let her finish what she was saying. My vision got darkened because of what she is saying. It's okay if it’s just me they’re going to insult. ​​But if it’s my parents, who took care of me and raised me. Then that’s a different story.

I couldn’t control myself anymore and I end up landing a punch on her face. She fell on the floor with wide eyes as she touches her bleeding nose. She looked at me with her eyes full of anger. She stands up and pointed her finger at me.

"How dare you! I will make sure that starting tomorrow morning, you will not be able to be here anymore!" I suddenly got weakened by what she said. This is what I'm afraid of!

"Hmm S-sophie, please, insult me ​​all you want, but leave my scholarship alone!" I apologized, swallowing my pride. It suddenly entered my mind that my Mom’s working every day at the store for our daily needs and my extra fees here. But Sophie just smirked at me.

"Hmm, I forgot that you're poor, how sad. But you can’t do anything, because starting tomorrow n—" Sophie didn't continue what she was supposed to say when someone came in the room.

"And what made you think that you can expel someone like that, easily? Only my father is capable of expelling a student here because it's OUR school. So, don't act like you're some big shot. Because if it's the value we’re basing? You will be as low as a rat on the septic tanks, "I was stunned when Clein suddenly entered with his three friends. He just went straight to his seat and seated on his chair as he said that.

Sophie suddenly became gentle and came up to me and held my arms, "Are you hurt, Andy? Oh my, god! I'm so sorry, I'm just not in the mood today, so I’m really sorry!" Sophie's grip on my arm tightened, despite her sweet voice, the expression on her face was the opposite. She’s looking at me as if she would kill me if I will complain.

"Class, please sit down," I relaxed when our teacher arrived.

"We're not done yet!" Sophie whispered to me. She went to her chair and sat. While I was left standing there, frowning. What's going on with my school life?! That Clein! Since that panty stealer came, this all started! Damn!
