|| His Love Story || A.Senope👣

.:T W O:.

I was never really a stubborn kid, but desperate times calls for desperate measures.

After all the "puppy-eyed" pleads and promises of behaving during formal events, which I had agreed in going and wearing those itchy suits, My mum decided to help me by pulling some strings.

Perks of being in a rich family;

• You get prioritized when you set up an appointment with the Schoolmaster.

• They value your opinions.

• They'll do anything for you once money.. or should i say "donations" are involved.

As we head to the SchoolMaster's office, my mum was reminding me how our deal should be set. Every word she has mumbled went in to one ear and out to the other.

Frantic butterflies swarming inside my tummy. A little too excited to finally know the pre-schooler's name and reason why she no longer attends school. 

Mr.Kahlil, University of Saint Claire's schoolmaster, stood up once he saw my mum enter his office. With smile plastered on his face, he greeted us : "Good morning Mrs. Ravenwood. Hello Jasper. Have a sit please"

"To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?"

"Oh hush K!" mum said. "We're here to ask a favor." mum smiled at me and glanced back to Mr.Kahlil.

"We would like to know the person who saved my son from the kids who tried to bully him."

Mr.Kahlil remained silent and mum took this gesture to continue explaining.

"My son was saved by a preschooler. However, she was punished with a week suspension. Jasper here waited for her to personally thank her but only to hear that she will not come back."

"As one of the major donors of the school, we would just like to ask to a bit information about the lass"

"Well Mrs.Ravenwood,..one moment please"

Mr.Kahlil then called his assistant to get the girl's information.

Money.

At a very young age, I have learned that money can make an individual, an organization and the whole world function. Without it, you can never be successful, influential or powerful.

With the check given by my mum to my schoolmaster, we have learned that :

A) the preschooler's name is Reign Lia Lockhart

B) Lives in Guadalupe, Cebu.

C) She was supposedly accelerated to first grade since she has the capability of learning first grade stuff 'cause she's smart as hell. Well, she should have been on my class if it weren't because of money.

D) Schoolmaster said that if her great-grandmother was not admitted to the hospital her aunt would have sent additional payment for first grade tuition fee.

E) Since she can no longer pay for the fee for our grade, her aunt decided to transfer her to the nearest school in their area.

F) Guadalupe Elementary School.

Freaking public school! No hate to those kids who's studying there but they have the worst bullies ever! Well, that's what my best friend said. Tom or Thomas Braider. Best bud but also one of the kids being bullied by Brian. Me and Tom has been friends since diaper days. Our mums has been best friends since high school. Tom is the sole heir of Braider's Inc..

I snapped out of my trance when the car came to a halt in front of our house.

Mum patted me at the back and uttered comforting words and assuring that we will find Reign.

***********

The next day at school, I hurriedly looked for Tom to tell him about Reign.

Seeing him being cornered by Brian and his group, I decided to act brave. I had enough of being bulied. I want Reign to be proud of me standin up against them. I think.

It i pathetic how I'm trying to impress a girl that's not even here.

But what's more pathetic is that I feel attached to her. Mum said that it was just because she save me. However, she did not know that I had the slow-mo moment with he at that time.

I remember my mum telling about the slow-mo moment when my Da meet my Mum.

"It is when an unexpected person appears in an unexpected time, place and situation.

I bumped into your mum when we where in high school. Her books went flying becaus of the impact of the bump. When I turned to face the owner o the shoulder that I bumped into, that's when the slow-mo started.

Books an papers mid-air, sound of the student in the hall way morphed as if they were possessed then replaced into a song. Slowly, I looked into your mums flustered face. That was when I was awestruck. She was pretty. No make-up, sweater clod body, thick rimmed glasses an a little freckles on her upper cheeks.

I was the bad boy, she was the nobody in our campus. But I did not care about it. She was mine.  right then and there and I made sure everyone knew about it since then." My Da, Thorin Ravenwood,  said. It was perfectly clear that he, until now, is still in love with my mum.

Brisk walking towards them to make sure that I get in time before they can hurt Tom.

Landing a punch against his cheek, Brian was again startled. But ran right after seeing me fumming.

"Woah dude! You just punch meanie Brian" Tom exclaimed while trying to fix his eye glasses and wrinkled uniform.

"I think it is time for us to brave up Tom. Gone are the days of being a push over starting today."

"But what if they seek on what you did?"

"We do the right thing, tell teachers, parents or who ever is there that can help us. But if he still persist on getting revenge, we man up. We fight Tom. We fight."
