Chapter 7

• We spoke while he showed me each rooms and facilities.
• "How was the class today? Our teachers, how were they like?" He asked me.
• "They're awesome. They taught us was well.. I enjoyed each lectures we had today" I told him.
• "I'm glad you do" He said..
• "I can see you made new friends"
• "Friends?" I repeated, b'cos it was only Francisca I was intimate with today.
• "Yeah, Francisca and my friends too Vincent and Francis"
• "Oh everyone here is nice actually" Except Monica but I didn't say that loud.
• "And thanks for the smoothie you gave to me during the recess period" I appreciated.
• "Oh it's nothing " He said.
• "The Music room"He said opening a door, I just peeped through and nodding.
• "Peter" I called his name when we left that building.
• "Uhm?" He answered.
• "I... I'm surprised you didn't tell your classmates, your friends that we live together, that I'm your housemaid " I muttered.
• "In school, you are my classmate, you are my friend just like everyone" That's what he just said.
• "You are still my friend at home, or do I treat you more like an Housemaid? You know.. the thing is when Dad and Mom travels, I am usually home alone.. and it wasn't cool at all. I needed someone to talk to, I needed someone to kill boredom with, someone to help me out in things a guy can 't do" He said and paused.
• "So you came, you are more like an House friend to me and not an Housemaid" He said and I smiled.
• He is so nice that I do not even feel insecure.
• "Thank you" I just had to say.
• "Do you want our classmates to know we are staying together?" He asked me.
• "Well... I... I... I'm confused" I told him.
• "I'm not tryna fake my lifestyle but .."
• "I know you are not" He interrupted
• "Uhmm... But I already lied today and it's hard for me.. what if they don't like me if they all get to find out that I'm not in their category... What if...I have alot of What ifs in my head right now" I told him.
• "And Monica, she obviously hates me"
• "I noticed her cruel character today, I'm shocked. Monica isn't like this, I possibly do not know why she's recently acting like this but I would talk to her about it" He said.
• But I just nod; Monica??
• "You both of you would surely be best of friends, I forgot to tell you that I can predict the future" He teased and I gave a short laugh.
• We walked here and there, I was tired but I didn't want to complain .
• I love this school already.
• Suddenly he recieved a call, I guess it was his driver because he said to the caller that we were on our way. We?
• "That was Joe" His Driver's name.
• "Let's leave now, he's waiting for us" He said.
• This time, I didn't see a single Student around, everyone must have gone home.
• We entered the Comfy car and he drove home.
• **
• When I got home, I changed into mufty and made delicious dinner .I
• 'm surprised he asked me to join him on the dinning table again then we had supper together.
• Actually, I prefer to stay and eat in my room...
• Indeed he sees me as a friend but I see him as my friendly boss.
• After dinner, I revised his notebooks, I actually love reading... I'm worthy.
• I'm one of the most intelligent Students in my former school... Even when I dropped out of school, I still read whatever books I come across, I read newspapers too, bill boards, everything that is readable and that makes me a brilliant Student in every areas; Politics, Calculations, Science everything. I don't mean to be proud though.
• "Let's see a movie" Peter knocked on my door.
• "I need to finish reading your notebooks, so that I can catch up quickly in class" I told him without opening the door.
• "All works but no play makes..."
• "I haven't worked at all" I said back
• "Okay Okay, I guess I would see the movie alone" He said.
• "She's sort of a bookworm" I heard him muttering to himself."And she has been indoor since we had dinner"
• He would know me better, I'm more than a bookworm.
• I chuckled.
• And layed properly on my bed; Laying on the bed is the best position for me to read and assimilate.

• Bella's POV
• I made more friends the next day although they weren't as clingy as Francisca.
• Francisca is still the only person I'm very intimate with. While the remaining friends I made, all we say to ourselves were just casual friendly greetings like : Just "Hi, Hello Bella" "Hey" "Good morning Isabella"..
• I guess what made Francisca and I more close is because her seat is just behind mine.
• Before we left home this morning, Peter gave me some sum of money to spend during the recess period. He is so nice.
• Today I tried so much not to step on Monica's nerves, well I haven't been stepping on her nerves yet she has been the one causing troubles between us.
• After Recess, we had mathematics which is literally everyone's worst subject except mine. Many were not even listening to the teacher , many were sleeping..
• "Questions on This Topic would definitely come out in your examinations" The teacher said and it's made everyone afraid and they tried paying attention.
• "Even in college, you would still come across questions from this Topic. And it's very broad"He said.
• People were murming. They found the topic hard and boring but it wasn't difficult for me.. . Maybe because I'm already familiar with the topic and solvings.
• "Silent everyone" The mathematics teacher tried to caution everyone but since they didn't 't listen to him..
• He then added; "We are having a mathe test on Friday, whether you like it or not, I don't care" He said and the class became quiet.
• He continued his teaching and this time around , many people sat upright and paid attention to him.
• I really don't understand what's difficult here, nothing at all.. everyone sees mathematics as the most difficult subject but I can solve questions on it with ease.
• Soon his class was over and he packed up his stuffs; books and his laptop.
• "Test on Friday, do not forget nor try to miss it. Same place: same time" He said and left the class.
• Everyone started murrmuring..
• I looked at Peter, I was still staring at the board trying to get how each equations and answers were derived.
• Monica, on the other hand, joined the crowd in complaining about the topic and the unexpected test... Also saying all sort of things about the mathematics teacher.
• Everyone was literally asking each other whether they understood what the teacher just taught them
• "Hey Bella" Francisca called from behind.
• "You need help too?" She asked me
• "The equations?" I asked her.
• "Well I understand the top a little and I don't mind teaching you the little I know"She said and I smiled.
• "Well, this particular topic used to be my favorite topic in mathematics" I told her trying as much not to be boastful.
• "Really?" She exclamed.
• "Yeah" I nod.
• "Then I think I need lessons from you instead" She said and picked up her bag.
• "I would follow you home today" She said.
• I never expected that. What??
• "Uhh Francisca!"
• "So you could teach me the topic" She said and I blinked my eyes twice.
• "Francisca why don't we do that in school tomorrow" I said.
• "Why tomorrow?" She asked.
• "Well, Just because. I would read and practice the whole content today, learn more and teach you very well tomorrow, what about that?"
• "Wow Bella, that's a very good idea" She said and I smiled.
• "So tomorrow" I repeated and sigh in a way she didn't notice.
• "It's Okay" She said.
• She expected me to stand up and leave the class too since classes has ended for today but I didn't even move an inch .
• "I guess your driver arrives late" She said.
• "Yes, I won't want to keep you waiting dear. You can leave already" I told her.
• "It's alright, Bye"
• "Bye" She said and left.
• I guess this is how every closing hours would be.
• I would discuss it with Peter when we get home, so that we can find something to do about it.
• Monica didn't cause much trouble today, she picked up her bag too and left too .
• I'm still surprised she and her boyfriend didn't t flirt..or she didn't flirt with her boyfriend. They do not even act like their dating.
• Boring relationship, I snarled.
• **
• Peter's POV
• I waited, making constant eye contact with Bella. We were stlyishly waiting for the rest of our classmates to leave the classroom, so that we can go home too as well.
• But it seems like Francis and Vincent wanted us to walk out of the class at the same time.
• "I'm leaving now" Franicis unexpectedly said as Francisca left the classroom.
• "Oh alright" We bided him Bye.
• We were surprised he didn't wait for us or for Vincent only.
• "There's something I need to tell you Peter" Vincent said to me.
• "Oh,what is it?
• "Uhmm.." He came closer to me, so that the rest of our coursemate that were still class won't hear him, which made me wonder what he has to say.
• "I... I think I like Monica" He said and I was dumbfounded.
• He took a deep breathe and repeated; "I like Monica"
