A lot has been happening days after. A super typhoon rampaged in our fellow nations which caused devastation to the citizens living there.I should be lucky for not being hit by the typhoon.
I finished taking a bath, ate breakfast, wore my uniform, and went to school. I arrived at my seat just a second before the bell rang. It was rare for me not to be tardy in school. Our teacher came in and started the lesson while I sat on my chair and slept with my head down. After a few seconds when I opened my eyes I saw Gail reading a book. The title of the book says, “Astronomy and Curiosity”. Her eyes looked like she was serious but at the same time she was enjoying every page. Suddenly,
“Mr. Zod and Ms. Mwen where are your canned goods?”
Huh? What the hell is she talking about? I didn't know anything about this.
“I’m sorry I can’t give any donation to the victims of the typhoon ma’am because we have financial issues.” Gail said.
Hearing what Gail said made me remember that we are supposed to be bringing donations to the victims of the typhoon. Well, it was expected of me to forget that.
“I’m sorry ma’am. I forgot to bring one.” I said to the teacher.
Mr. Zod you still haven’t changed. Mr. Zod and Mr. Mwen, because you didn’t bring any canned goods, as a punishment, both of you will clean the classroom after dismissal. Clean it well guys.
WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT??????????? And now I get to clean the classroom all alone with the girl who robbed me and pointed a knife at me in a bank??????????? This is just the worst.
9 hours later, school ended and both of us were forced to clean the classroom as a punishment for not bringing any canned goods. It was 5:30 pm and we were all alone in the room. Just as I was about to get the broom, she walked to me and bowed to me.
“Please don’t tell anyone about what happened. I beg you please don’t tell anyone. I will do anything you like as long as you don’t tell anyone about the incident in the bank..”
I was shocked. I never knew she would do something like this. I thought it was just a joke or some evil plan but her eyes look really serious. It’s my ultimate chance!!!!!!!! I could order her around anytime. She could be my slave for the rest of her life!!! I already decided to make her my slave but when I saw her eyes.. I..
“Can you be my friend?”
I suddenly said without thinking clearly. It’s just that when I looked at her eyes, I subconsciously asked directly. I was shocked by what I said and when I looked at her, she was also surprised. She didn’t answer right away but after a few seconds she said,
“I didn’t expect that request but sure.”
I was surprised, but I was happy.
“Let’s start off by introductions. My name is Karl Ed Zod, Nice to meet you.”
“Gail Lyle Mwen, Nice to meet you.”
And we both shook our hands for the first time, thinking of how things will turn out in the future.
