she our classmate

Chapter 5

I brought his things to their room.

I was still out of breath when I got inside.

Their room is deafening with their noise.

Someone played music with the phone, someone talked loudly, someone teased.

I was at the door looking for where his seat was and luckily I saw him right at the end.

They all looked at me as I entered with his stuff. His forehead was still wrinkled as I walked to his seat.

No one said if his things were placed on top of his arm chair.

"Who is she?"

"Is she our classmate?"

"No way, because it's not suitable for him to be our classmate!"

Questions I heard inside.

"She is not our classmate guys! She is Levi's personal maid. That's why he's here to bring Levi's things as well as mine. Where is mine?" he didn't ask me any questions.

I took a deep breath and calmed myself, because I really wanted to answer him right now. Most of all, I hate insulting me.

I'm not ashamed of who I am or what my job is. The only thing that annoys me is that they already know what my job is and they are still scolding me.

"It's in Levi's arm chair" I answered calmly

"Does this mean we can order him anytime?" One of their classmates spoke.

I couldn't handle my annoyance there, yes I don't want a fight but I don't want to swallow my pride knowing that they have no right in my life.

I faced them all quite calmly.

"Yes, I am personally Levi's maid, and that's not embarrassing because there I was able to study for free from my work that I worked hard for. But that doesn't mean you can't please me too"

"So you're arrogant even though you're only an assistant? Do you know we can throw you out?"

"Yes, I know because all of you are capable in life, but..." before I finished what I was going to say, I was surprised by a thick palm landing on my cheek. I haven't recovered from the shock when someone slapped my other cheek.

I want someone to fight because you know I can't do anything because I'm alone and there are many of them.

My tears suddenly fell unconsciously.

He saw what his friends did but he did nothing to stop them.

"Jessy that's right! The person does nothing to you! ” shouted the man sitting behind, I couldn't see him because of the tears running down my cheeks. I don't know how long I stayed here inside.

Don't worry, you know he shouldn't be pitied."

He yelled back as if someone was about to push me to stop whatever he was planning to do. "Jessy, do you want me to push you there so that your make-up is as thick as a wall and replaced with a dog-like face?" I can't even see the face of the person who spoke, but I know it's him, I know it.

I ran out of their room.

I sat in the chair I passed. I cried all the time because it hurt, I know because I expected him to defend me.

I bowed while crying.

"You really want to be famous, don't you?" I heard a familiar voice say even though I don't hear it often.

I looked up at the speaker and saw Clyden standing close to me with his hands in his pockets.

When I looked around, many people were looking at me, maybe wondering if I was crying.

It's really embarrassing..I felt ashamed, even if anyone would be surprised by what I did crying in front of people. "That's what it's like when it's broken!" Said the passerby.

"sorry guys, my stomach hurts!" I said

"Just go to the clinic miss." One said it's good they left me.

Clyden was the only one standing looking at me with a frown.

"Are you here? Is the teacher not here yet?" I asked, adjusting myself.

His brow furrowed even more at what I said.

"Just a while ago, you looked pretty good, but now you look like you were raped?" he said with raised eyebrows

"It hurts you to talk to me, you are hurting the person, you are going to add more!" I said with difficulty

"what happened?" he asked,

"Nothing! Don't find out!” I stood up and ran to our classroom

After a while, he entered next and right after him was our prof today.

He discussed our lessons today but I didn't understand anything in his discussions because of what is happening now, I didn't even realize that he finished his discussion and is now writing a short quiz about the lesson he discussed today. But Clyden elbowed me that we have a quiz here and I remember that yes I am in the classroom right now.

He put down a white pad and there was a small piece of paper with something written on it and I read it because that's when I remembered that we had a quiz because I was stupid on the blackboard.

"Maybe you don't want to miss this quiz, maybe you want to take a quiz on your paper!" That's what was written.

Yes, he is right, but how can I answer that I didn't understand anything? I wrote even though I wasn't sure I could answer the questions because I didn't understand anything.

I'm an idiot on my paper trying to understand the questions even though nothing comes to my mind.

I was surprised when he suddenly pulled my paper and replaced it with his, I frowned at what he did. When I looked at his paper I saw my name at the top and then there were answers to each question. Maybe he felt sorry for me because he knew I had no answer.

“thank you!” I whispered

After our class and it was lunch time, I let my classmates go out first because I was still thinking about whether I should go to him to ask him if he needed anything.

I was dumbfounded in the absence as I thought about whether I should go to see him or not until everyone had gone out and then I looked at Clyden who was still sitting. "don't you want to go out?" I asked but he didn't move or look at me.

"Is it true that you are Alfonso's personal maid?" I looked at him but he wasn't looking at me.

I took a deep breath before answering "Yes, and I'm not ashamed of that, because I was able to study somehow."

“amazing!” he whispered

I was surprised because that was not what I expected, I thought he would laugh at me like it was cruel.

"what did you say?" I asked him again

"Are you letting him do that to you?"

Is that why he left here to ask me questions like this? "Because he pays for each of my services!" I answered

"And even his friends are paying you to follow their orders?"

Turns out he's also very "I just don't want trouble!" I answered sparingly

"If you let them do that, they will do it to you. I don't mind if you defend yourself once in a while."

"I don't want a chaotic life! I'm here to study hard not to pay attention to the people around me."

"Ok then let them hurt you!"

He stood up and went out, I just shook my head, did he just leave to say that? It's not that I will let them hurt me, but I really don't want trouble, I don't want to fight if possible.

After thinking for a few minutes, I put my things away and left the room. I went straight to their hangout to ask him if he would let me do something.

When I arrived at their hangout, he wasn't there.

Only his friends were there.

The female friend stood up when she saw me.

"Could you please buy us food at the canteen?"

"I didn't bring you here!"

I answered and turned to leave when someone pulled my hair.

I was disgusted by what he did "You don't want to follow us because Levi isn't here, you want us to report you to him to punish you?" He raised his eyebrows at me but immediately pulled my hair out of his grip. "don't report it! I don't know anything about that!"

Clyden is right, I don't bully them all the time. I also have to defend myself if they don't do it.

After my class I immediately ran outside in case the tiger of my village left me before I was even outside the gate.

I was waiting in front of the gate, waiting for him to come out. I didn't wait too long to see him go out with his friends.

'are you going home together?' her female friend asked Levi, he didn't answer, but his male friend answered "probably he's going home with them too!" the woman immediately got annoyed "are you angry? Oh, I know that the servant and the master go home at the same time!" The woman said annoyed, are they talking about me? I'm still silent.

"Why is there something wrong with that? What makes the assistant different from all of us? We're just the same! we only differ in work. Let's just be thankful because we have been blessed with a good life. That's really just like our fingers, aren't they the same height? Some are long and some are small. Be thankful instead of judging other people." said the man next to the woman

"So you're on his side? Don't tell me you love him more than me!” he said flatly

"Jessy, it's not about us! Yes, I like you but I don't want to support you in your wrong behavior. I want to support you but not in a bad way.”

"Ok fine! Go ahead and be with him!" He walked out, the man was just shaken by what his gf did.

"Won't you follow?" asked another man who patted him on the shoulder, he just shook his head.

"I want him to realize his mistake, if I support him in everything he wants he won't realize it, his behavior will get worse." the other person nodded at what he said.

"Alright guys, I'll go ahead of you!" he said goodbye when his red car arrived.

Until we were the only ones left with tiger.

Soon his car arrived, he got in first and I was about to get in "let's go jeans!" He ordered the driver "sir how is he?" he asked in surprise.

I don't know why he went home alone. Just follow what I want if you don't want to lose your job!” the driver did nothing but drive away.

His habit is getting worse.

I just sat on the seat on the side of the gate.

I was thinking how to get home.

Where is Clyden? Did he go home? I walked back inside the gate and went to the gym and there I saw him with his basketball teammates.

He didn't notice me, because there were many people inside, there were also many women inside the gym. I sat alone far away from the girls shouting the names of the basketball players. Clyden is the only one I know of them.

When they took time out and rested, I saw him walk to where his bag was and drink water, while he was drinking he saw me and his eyes widened when he saw me. He still frowned but I just smiled.

After a few minutes they were done and they left the gym with him. I saw him enter the bathroom and when he came out he was wearing only white shorts and a white t-shirt.

I stood up and approached him, but there were only a few people in the gym and the others had already left.

"Are you still here?" he asked while fixing his bag

"No, because Tiger didn't let me ride! I would just ride. Because I don't have money to pay for it. Besides, their house is too far from here to walk, the darkness will catch up with me." I explained

He stopped fixing his bag and looked at me with a frown. "and you will ride with me? Who said I would ride you?”

I frowned, I thought he was different but he is still like the others. Yes, they said not to trust someone like him right away. I thought he was kind but he wasn't, I felt ashamed of what he said.

Maybe I've abused it too much because the first time he drove me, but now I'm going to drive him again? Maybe he realizes that I will ask him every day.

He continued putting his things away again.

I can't answer it's embarrassing, I feel shame and pity for myself, like I'm being rejected.

"Ok, I'll go first, maybe because they sent me back." I said goodbye and walked out of the gym but I heard him say 'wait!' but I didn't turn around and run out of the gym until I got out of the school gate.

I want to cry because of the mixture of shame and hurt in my heart because I'm sure I didn't expect him to talk like that to me because he's kind as far as I know.

I walked home even though it looked like it was going to rain heavily because it was foggy.

My prayer is that I don't meet an addict or something bad might happen to me.

I walk pretty fast but I don't run, maybe because when I run people who see me think I'm crazy or something.

I can already feel the raindrops but it's not strong so I speed up my walk even more.

Until the heavy raindrops started pouring down, I was already wet but I didn't want to take shelter because it might be late at night before the rain stopped. It's good that I'm still passing by people, maybe when the night gets dark I won't see any sane people outside to ask for help if someone tries to hit me, so even though it's already wet from the rain, I still try to speed up my walk.

I saw a flashlight from a car ahead of me so I went to the very edge of the side walk.

The car slowed down, I looked back and felt fear that he might have a bad plan for me, so I suddenly ran backwards because of fear and haste, I suddenly tripped.

I felt my knee hurt but it didn't move and I quickly ran again.

Until the car stopped and its window rolled down "Get in!" I stopped running when I heard the voice of the speaker.

He turned around, earlier he didn't want to give me a ride, now he's wet me and then he's going to give me a ride, I can't even go home.

I was running fast but so was his car, until he got out and chased me and pulled my arm causing me to stop.

"Are you crazy? You see it's raining heavily, you're walking under heavy rain? Do you really want to get sick?”

I pulled my arm out of his grasp and faced him. "What do you want me to sleep at school so it doesn't get read?" now we are both wet from the rain.
