happily ever after (what is love?) ON HOLD

HEA____chapter3

Lloyd’s POV

“Mom, do I really need to go to that school? I mean, there are a lot of other schools, why put me to a negligible one?”

“Cause no schools would agree to accept a student who nearly killed someone! And besides, it’s not negligible, just not famous. Remember… your father built that school young one.”

“I’m not yet insane to kill mom, my girlfriend was nearly raped, do you think I’ll just watch him do that?!”

“I’m not saying that! Do not dare raise your voice to me! I’m still your mom! The problem with you is you always insist what you want! You never listen! It would be better if you stayed in France!”

Here we are again, mom, dad and I can never agree to one thing. Good thing dad is not here yet or else… I don’t know what else I would hear. I just finished preparing myself for school… for an undefined, unfamiliar, unknown school; how humiliating for a famous photographer like me. Oh, I’m sorry… let me introduce myself, name is Lloyd Grim, 20 years old, don’t speak tagalog so well so don’t expect me to be talking too much in tagalog. Find out more about me as you read this story, I’m not good at describing myself.

“Yeah… you always do that! You keep making me feel you don’t want me here.” I said the last line softly.

“What’s going on here?!” dad said as he entered the house.

“I can hear your voices even outside! And Lloyd, why are you still here? You’re supposed to be in school!” he continued.

Now I can say… I’m in a very big trouble.

“Talk to your son. I’ve had enough of this already.”  And mom went upstairs leaving me with my dad, obviously furious.

“Why do you keep on disappointing us?” he always begins with that kind of words.

“Dad, just find me another school. Why not put me where---“

“Where you could always look after your girlfriend??? Huh Lloyd? Is that what you want to say?” he cut me off.

“No dad, I will not learn a thing with your school! Why don’t you let me prove myself to you?! The whole school knows me, and I know what comes next with my grades! I know even I won’t attend classes, I will have passing grades, even I will act rude, they will not even scold me! Cause they know that I’m the son of the owner of that stupid school!!!”
