|| Russia's POV ||

A few weeks have passed. And Philip kept his promise. He began raising his hand the day after we made the deal,and he's been going at it ever since.

Today,I decided to visit my father. But I didn't find him at his office,where he would usually be found.

"He's off to meet with someone."the lady at the office informed.

So that's how I ended up waiting in the office. Well,looking on the bright side,I was in a conditioned room. And I'm grateful for that,considering today's hot weather.

After a while,my father entered. He gave me a smile and gestured to me to follow him. I sat down on a chair across from my father.

"So,I heard you wanted to talk to me?"he asked.

"Yes. I want to know what the current state of Philip's grade is."I replied.

"Well,I suppose you could sneak a peek."my dad chuckled."He's doing good. Here."

He handed me the card,and without a doubt,Philip's getting better. If he keeps it up,he'll be one of the top students for sure.

I gave the card back to my father. I only came here to ask about Philip's grade since it IS my responsibility,but I was pretty curious about something else.

"I heard you were talking with someone else."I mentioned."If you weren't talking in your office,does that mean this 'someone' is important."

"You're getting nosy,Russia."my father warned in a playful tone.

"I'm only curious. Who is this person?"I questioned.

"Alright. I'll tell you,but you must keep your mouth shut about it."dad said.

"When did I ever not?"I chuckled.

My deepest apologies,Reader. But not even YOU can know. Sorry not sorry. :P

I was walking down the hallway. It was empty since classes were currently ongoing now. But as the principal's son,I am allowed to wander during class as long as I answer a remedial activity.

While walking,I spotted a small figure at the distance. He was staggering left and right with a pile of books in hand.

"Philip?Is that you?"I asked.

"Huh?Oh,hey. E-Excuse me."he stuttered,probably from the weight.

"Here. Let me help."I offered.

"Nope!I got this,d-don't worry."Philip said.

"But you're shaking."I told him,looking at his legs.

"Oh...Really?Heheh...Guess I DO need help."Philip admitted.

Seems like Philip was bringing a stack of thick books. I counted,and there were 6 books in total. But I took four of them.

That seemed to ease Philip. He let out some breathes before proceeding to walk. I followed him,of course.

"So,where are we heading?"I questioned.

"The library. My English teacher had the audacity to ask ME to bring so many books alone."Philip remarked,clearly pissed.

"Shall I report this to the principal?"I said.

"No. It'll only cause unnecessary chaos."he huffed.

"Unnecessary chaos?What do you mean?"I joked."Will all hell break loose if I were to tell what your teacher did?"

"It CAN for me. Chaos doesn't always have to be the war-kind of thing where people are shouting and aggresive."he told."Sometimes chaos is quietly happening."
