Zhea's POV
"Good morning everyone" Mrs. Gaizon greeted us and like always, no one answered back.
She sighed and continued talking.
"So guys we'll be having our new student." Huh? Its already our 3rd trimester and they're accepting a new student?.
"Miss is it a boy or a girl?" Really? That's what on their mind.
"Its a boy....Drake come in" As the new student comes in others groaned while some just squealed.
Its undeniable that he's handsome, pleasant to the eyes. He looked at me and I avert my eyes, or I'm just imagining things......whatever.
"Hi I'm Drake Laketon." He smiled and the girls just do what girls do when there's a good looking meal.
What am I saying?
"Thank you Drake, you can sit ummm beside miss Ortiza please." Of course since I'm the only one without a cheatmate, cause no one wants to sit beside a slut, loser and a bullied person. It won't be too long when he changes seat sooo.... that's ok with me.
He sat beside me.
"Hi I'm Drake Laketon." He smiled again and I don't know why but it's annoying me.
"Yeah Im not deaf I clearly heard you awhile ago" I said without looking at him.
"Umm ok" I felt something when I heard dissapointment in his voice.
"So class we'll be having a meeting today" there was an uproar "but i'll be giving an activity. So behave yourselves" and it became silent.
She went outside after giving us an activity. And of course without hesitation.
"Zhea answer this for me will you?" Mika smiled sweetly while giving me her notebook.
"Oh and don't mess up again. The restrooms are always vacant you know." I remembered messing up her homework cuz i forgot, and i ended up having my face on the toilet bowl.
"Also do mine" Kieffer also handed me his notebook.
"And mine" "mine too" "pls do mine also" almost everyone handed me their notebooks for me to work on their activities. Some work on their own because maybe they have at least pity on me.
"Oh yeah Drake, you can hand your ntbk to her also, she's our little cute slave. We can do whatever we can do to her and she won't complain" Mika said and went outside.
I sighed and did my work.
"Zhea let me help"
I looked at him in disbelief
"No I'm okay."
"No, I insist let me help"-Drake
"No Im fine, really"
"Why are you so stubborn. You know you can't finish it all." I looked at him. I am an independent and strong woman......... but for now I will accept help.
"Fine, fine" I handed him some of the ntbks and we did finish it all for about 30 minutes.
It didn't take long for the next class to start which is history. Mika and her companions were throwing papers at me and they signalled me to read it.
I hesitantly opened one and read it.
"HISTORY IS BORING SO IS MISS LAUREN."
"GONNA DIE OF BOREDOM"
"HISTORY IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN SLEEPING PILLS"
Then someone just snatched it on my hand and to my horror it was miss Lauren.
"Detention after class, Miss Ortiza and pls. be aware you are a scholar, bad attitude is prohibitable" i sighed and i saw Mika and friends giggling.
Detention wasn't fun. Ofc who loves detention. As i went to my locker i was blocked by Catherine and her minions including Mika.
"Oh gurl did you enjoy detention?" Mika laughed and I ACCIDENTALY, NOT IN PURPOSE, ROLL MY EYES.
Catherine slapped me and i slumped back hitting my back on the lockers. She grabbed my hair.
"You want to fight huh? Don't roll your eyes on me Zhea, know your place." She let go of my hair.
"Oh yeah before i forgot do my homework need it tomorrow and" she picked my bag, opened it and scattered my belongings everywhere. "Ah there, let me borrow your notes ok" she threw my bag at me and went away.
I was busy arranging my things putting it back in my bag, when someone helped me. Unfortunately, it was the new guy.
"Did you saw everything?"I asked and he nodded.
"Why are you letting them do that to you?" Drake asked
"It's not like I can do something" I smiled at him.
"You really like helping people huh?"I said
"Yeah especially to those who need it"
"You think I'm pathetic right and you pity me" i laughed awkwardly suppressing my tears because.............my back hurts.
"No, I don't see why you deserve this, no one should. You're not pathetic because you're strong and I think you have enough." He smiled, that genuine smile that i want to see, maybe its annoying me because i can't get enough of it. Doesn't make sense right.
"I'm here for you Zhea" I felt a tug. Ok......What was that?
"You're not alone" he smiled and i blushed. Holy father of christ I BLUSHED.
Yeah i'm just sick.................
Right?
