Mafia Series 2: Taming The Heir (UNDER REVISION)

Chapter 3

Kent's Point or View:

"Kuya, wake up! Maaga pa tayo at late ka na naman."

I woke up to Stella's voice on the intercom on the side. I got up immediately, but because I had a headache last night, I didn't move. Our mommy told us that it's okay to drink, but not too much. Mommy also wants us to study her and Daddy's businesses so that, in the future, we already know what to do. Natasha and I promised that when we turn 18, we will manage the whole family's business.

I left the room wearing casual clothes because we don't have a uniform yet because we're transferees. I caught up with Daddy, Mommy, Natasha, and Stella downstairs. Cruzette was on Daddy's lap while pouting her lips. I smiled, kissed Mommy, and hugged Daddy after I greeted them. 

"Your cousins and friends are studying there. Gusto kong kahit paano ay makilala niyo ang mga anak ng kaibigan namin ng daddy niyo. Sa iisang building lang kayo, and I want to make sure Kent that you'll be guarding your siblings," kalmadong sabi ni mommy.  

I smiled. "Yes, mommy."

I'm very excited to see them, lalo na ang mga pinsan ko sa father side. Sa mother side, ay kay Tita Noemie lang at Tita Amara. I want to meet them in person, dahil madalas, sa screen ng laptop ko lang sila nakikita.

"Good luck on your first day," nakangiting sabi ni daddy. 

"Good luck," nakangising sabi ni mommy bago kami halikan sa ulo. 

After I took care of myself, I went down to see if the three of them were okay. Stella was using her violet Lamborghini, while Natasha was using her motorcycle. I'm using my motorcycle, and when we leave, it's like we're conveying Stella's car. We left together, while our youngest sister was left with the babysitter. We got to school, but before that, we took Jake to his classroom. Everyone was looking at us; that's why I raised my eyebrows and held Jake, who was shyly walking. 

"Dito na po ang classroom ko," mahinahong sabi ni Jake. Napakamot pa ito sa ulo dahil pinagtitinginan sila. "P-Pwede po ba next time... Isa-isang kotse lang ang dala niyo?" 

Natawa si Stella. "Ano ka ba! Marami tayong kotse tsaka isa pa... 'Yan ang tatak Martinez okay? 'Wag ka mahiya sa kanila..." 

Napa buntong hininga ang kapatid ko. "O-Okay po... See you later." 

Natawa ako at inayos ang kwelyo ng polo niya. "Text me when your class is done." 

Imbes na dumiretso kami sa classroom namin ay pumunta muna kami sa gymnasium. The school is divided into four buildings. One for high school, one for college, one for senior high school, and the other side was the teacher's building in front. 

"Clyte!" Stella exclaimed and hugged her best friend. "Oh, my God! I missed you guys so much!"

"Martinez's are here!" sigaw ni Clyte Lopez, anak ni Tita Seraphine and Timothy. Napatingin sila sa amin. "God, please don't talk to us in Italian. Okay?"

Nagtawanan kaming lahat at agad akong umupo kila Wade. We hugged each other, and we're now the center of attention, dahil maraming estudyante ang mga nakatingin sa amin. I smirked at Archiel and my friends. 

"Ang laki pala talaga nitong school," sabi ni Shane Martinez, anak ni Tito Leo Martinez.

"Oo nga eh, muntik pa kaming maligaw kanina nila Reina," sambit ni Rosalinda Imperial, anak nila Tito Rhys and Lorraine Imperial.

We settled down, and we talked about our strand and courses na kukunin namin sa Senior High School. 

"No, iba-iba tayo ng strand. ABM tayong lahat pero ang iba ay STEM at HUMSS. Sa college, hindi ko rin alam kung pare-pareho tayo," sabi ni Sunshine Martinez, kapatid ni Shane. 

"Si Kuya Archiel kasi ayaw niya mag-ABM. Gusto niya ng STEM," sabi ni Clyte. Referring to his brother, Archiel Lopez.

"Oo, ito kasi eh, Ayaw sa business!" iritadong sabi ni Jaques Martinez, anak ni Tito Jiro Martinez. "Nagkaroon na tayo ng meeting before sa mansion. Sabi natin mag-business tayong lahat."

Archiel shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not into business. Good luck na lang sa inyong lahat."

Ate Savannah Martinez walked towards the stage. She's the one handling this school together with Kuya Thobi Sarmiento, anak ni Tito Cloud Sarmiento. She's helping us get in here after passing the exam. 

"Good morning, students..." Pormal na bati niya at inilibot ang paningin sa buong gymnasium. "We all gathered you here so that you could know the rules and regulations here at school. There, you have your own locker, and your name is listed on each door of your room. Transferee, we'll give you your four pairs of uniforms that you will use, and of course, your PE uniform."

Namigay sila ng poster about the school at agad na nagpakita ang mga teachers na kanya-kanya ang hawak ng school uniform. The theme of our school is maroon, but our IDs are in different colors based on what grade you are in. 

"Ate, Savannah!" tawag ni Reina Imperial, kapatid ni Rosalinda.

"Hey, guys! You don't have to worry because some of you were schoolmates based on your grades last year," nakangiting sabi niya. "If you need anything, just go to the dean's office."

We smiled and said, "Thank you."

Hiwa-hiwalay kami ng classroom from section A to C. Ate Savannah, make it fair, dahil ayaw niyang may mag-reklamo na porque anak kami ng mga businessman ay dapat lahat kami ay nasa star section ngunit malaki naman ang grado namin kaya wala ring masabi ang mga tao sa paligid.

"Transferee?" tanong ng teacher. We nodded our heads. "Okay, introduce yourself."

"Shane Martinez, 17." 

"Wade Ferrell, 21." 

"Jetro Riley Martinez, 21." 

They all looked at me, kaya napalunok ako at umabante ng kaunti.  

"Kent Thomas Martinez. 19." 

After we introduced ourselves, we walked towards our seats. Sa pangatlong row kami nakaupo at napili ko sa tapat ng sliding window. Katabi ko si Shane at sa gilid naman ay si Wade na may kausap na kaagad.  

"Alright, kindly get your notebook and copy what's written on the white board." she said. "Basically, it's very difficult in senior high school. But if you study hard, then you'll be on the dean's list. Pass your requirements at the right time, and you'll get 100% on your grades."

I immediately grabbed my bag but stopped when I saw Wade. He's talking with a Chinese girl and asking her if she wants to be in his condo to play something. I laughed in my mind because I knew he was only doing that to forget my sister, Natasha.

Crazy.
