"I'm sorry but I'm going to punch this locker here." pointing at the locker and after she said that, she suddenly punched it making a loud noise and a hand mark can be seen in the place she punched making them shocked.

She sighed and put her forehead in the door locker. It's so quiet that the drops of blood from her hand were clearly audible. It's so loud that they guess the students from Class 1 heard it but they can't just get out of their classroom in fear of Leticia.

"W-what are you doing?!"  a guy said and immediately went to Leticia to look at her wounded hand.

"What is wrong with you?! Look at your hand!"

"Can you please don't shout? Sigh-- I'll take care of it so go back to the classroom." she said taking her hand back.

"You're doing it again. Can you please stop already? You're hurting yourself."

"Stop it. (Glared) Lui..."

"Leticia Shio! You're the one who should stop!" Mr. Perez said who just came back from the meeting.

"M-mr. Perez?" shocked. Leticia can't do anything but bow because she can't take the anger of Mr. Perez who's now glaring and panting because he's really furious.

"I-I'm uhmm-- I'm sorry. Please forgive me. It's only my first and I'm already causing you a lot of trouble. Please don't be angry."

"Sigh-- do you think I'm only angry because you cause trouble in your first day? It's because your hurting yourself...again Leticia. Again. How...many times should I...watch you hurting yourself like this huh?"

"I'm sorry." Leticia said still looking at the floor.

"Raise your head."

"I can't." as she said that, Mr. Perez walk towards her and pat her head.

"Here. (Pointing to the end of his sleeve) Hold here." he said and Leticia immediately grabbed the hem of his sleeve and put her head into Mr. Perez's back.

The 19 guys were still in shock because they don't understand what relationship does Leticia and their teacher Mr. Perez have and for their classmate named Lui who knows Leticia and vice versa.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry Mr. Perez. I'm sorry Lui. And I'm sorry for the others. But- can't you eat the ice creams and sandwiches I bought? And can't you eat the pasta I bought for you Mr. Perez?"

"O-of course. By the way, does it hurt?"

"Maybe you should go to the infirmary first."

"Don't worry, only a few teachers come to class since for them they don't need to teach us as we can't learn anything."

Said the young men worried about her. She immediately looked to their direction and said:

"What?" her eyes just like she's sleepy looking at the guy who spoke last.

"W-what what?"

"What you just said."

"Oum about the teacher hmph--

"Stop it Lei. Why are you so slow-witted? Can't you see she's angry?" a guy wearing a glasses covered Lei's mouth and whispered.

"It's the next period right? Mr. Perez, should I---

"No. Don't. You won't do anything."

"Okay." she said and raised her hand as a sign of surrender.

"Oh it's dripping."

"Here. Tie this handkerchief in your hand first." Lui said.

"Yep. (took the handkerchief) 10 minutes. You only have 30 minutes to eat what I bought before the next period. And I'll start answering your questions. Everything you want to know." Leticia said as she started to walk towards the classroom.

Classroom~~~

"Who are you and what's you're relationship to Mr. Perez?"

"Leticia M. Shio, and??? Mr. Perez is my father."

"What?!!!"

"Oh but not real."

"What do you mean?"

"He's like my father. I've known him since I was young."

"Your reasons for attending this University?"

"As I said earlier, I only have 3 reasons which is the canteen, Mr. Perez and you guys. First the canteen, I heard this University has a big canteen and chefs and many foods. That's why I came here because the school where I was attending last school year is running out of stock of food that's why I used to just give my food to others."

"You're giving your food to others?"

"Yeah. Is that wrong? Well a candy, bubblegum and lollipop would suffice. And wait...let me finish first okay?"

"Okay. Sorry please continue."

"Second, Mr. Perez. He used to wor-- I mean he used to be with my grandfather. Like they are friends like that that's why I've known him since I was a kid. He suddenly told us he's going to be a teacher which is unexpected since he can't even teach me math. I'm sorry sir. And I'm curious where he's going to be a teacher and this is it. This University with a welcoming of belittling and shouting from the students and a teacher." she said and checked her hand before continuing.

"I'm sorry about that Leticia."

"It's okay fath-- I mean Mr. Perez."

"And of course, the last. What do you mean us? What do you need from us? It's not like we're rich or anything."

"You're the ones who need my help. Oh and I'm not bragging."

"And what do you mean by that?"
