Ch. 15Chapter 15


Tired! That's all I can say

I would lay myself down on my bed to rest, when there was an immediate knock on the door

Annoyed I got up and opened the door

"What?" I asked, forgetting that I was not in the Philippines

"Ma'am i can't understand what you're saying. But your grandpa wants to talk to you '" englisherang sabi ng isa sa mga katulong

'"Okay'" I answered shortly and followed him

This mansion we live in now is bigger than the mansion we live in in the philippines and since I'm new here there is a chance I could get lost because I don't know the winding hallway here

The maid took me to a study room, Tanda was said to be here. The woman we were opposite left me

I stopped knocking and as soon as I opened the door I saw Tanda sitting in his swivel chair while holding papers that looked like papers.

He looked at me and lowered the paper he was holding

"Everything is ready for you to go to school tomorrow. I will deliver and pick you up," he said seriously.

'"Are you serious there, Tanda?'" I asked wrinkled

"No grandson, I'm just kidding. You'll be in for the next decade," he said sarcastically.

"Next decade? Isn't it too long?"

"You're the grasshopper's son! Yes, your first day of class is tomorrow. So go to bed early today because you can't be late for class."

'"Aren't you really kidding?'" I asked

"No," he shouted, so I immediately ran out of the study room

I went back to my room to get dressed for bed, as Tanda said I need to go to bed early so I won't be late for class tomorrow.

The next morning I woke up because of someone knocking on my bedroom door

'"What?'" I shouted sleepily to be heard when the person disturbed my sleep, take note that I said English because maybe another English assistant

As for us in America again, what can I expect for them to shake

I got up and opened the door, an elderly maid exposed herself to me with a uniform hanging on a hanger, maybe this is what I will wear for school

'"Ma'am this is your school uniform. Your Grandfather is waiting for you at the dinning area'" you see, they speak English well and my nose isn't bleeding

'"Wait a minute, I'll just take a shower'" oh huh? He can only speak English, of course I can too

It handed me the uniform to wear and said goodbye, I closed the door and laid the uniform on the bed.

I'm done bathing and getting dressed, I'm just fixing my hair. I also put a little lip tint on my lips and also put powder on my face. I don't want face powder or anything else for my face because I might get acne.

I looked at my entire body in the mirror, the uniform suited me

The long sleeve is black and has a gray plaid grunge necktie, the coat is also black and on the top right has a logo on it, the skirt is like a gray plaid grunge necktie. It's just the right length, the socks are almost up to my knees and I'm wearing shoes that match my uniform.

I went out the door and went down the stairs, the maids I passed greeted me, I didn't want to be rude in front of them so I greeted them back

I sat in the chair next to Tanda's chair, it was already eating and just stopped when I arrived

'"Sign!'" I called as it resumed eating

"Oh?"

'"Did you pray before eating?'"

'"Sure, Eh you?'" It asked back

"I'll just pray" after I prayed I also started eating

'"Your uniform suits you. Study hard.'" He reminded her, and stood up

'"Sure, Oh that's over?'" I asked in astonishment

"Yes, I need to leave. I still have important things to take care of with the Company. The driver will take you, when you go home and don't leave until your pickup arrives. Do you understand?" -formal attire pala ito

"Yes," I saluted, as if I was in grade one

Tanda said goodbye and I left in a hurry to eat, then I took my bag that was placed on the seat next to me.

I walked out the door and there was a car waiting outside the bodyguard opened the door for me so I entered.

The car started moving, I just closed my eyes because I was still drowsy

Minutes passed and I felt as if the car had stopped, I lost my eyesight and saw that we had stopped in front of a school.

The bodyguard opened the car door so I got out

There are a lot of students walking in the same uniform as me, they are all racially coat and american. I wondered if there was a Filipina or a Filipino who could study here

I started walking there are four buildings, I went to the second building because that is the building for those who study Doctor or nurse

Fortunately, Tanda gave me my schedule and the school's blue print yesterday so I wouldn't get lost

When I found the room, where my section I entered I ignored the looks of my classmates I looked for a seat and there was a vacancy in the back so I just sat there

The people who are here in the classroom today are probably wondering why a beautiful young Filipina entered.

The professor isn't here yet so they are free to make noise, I just ignored them

'"Hey Bitch! I think you entered the wrong classroom'" someone suddenly echoed in front of me, it looked like a clown because of the thickness of the makeup

"Nah! I'm sure, I'm in the right classroom. Ms." "Of course I'm not going to lose in this English portion.

'"But I'm also sure that you entered the wrong classroom. Because this classroom is only for the smart. And it's look like you doesn't suit here'" maldita ang tono ng pananalita nito

'"How do you say so?'" I ask blankly, How dare she? To ask me that way?

'"Because you look trash. Oh should I say YOU ARE A TRASH'" its insult, the students here laughed softly. I stood up because of what he said but chose whether to calm myself before speaking

'"I'm not A TRASH. Ms. But if you still keep saying That I am a Trash, Sorry to say but i think you wrong. Because-'" I smiled because of my hanging

'"Because what?'" He asked

"Because instead of saying That I am a Trash, Why don't you call yourself that you are a TRASH Ms."

'"You should look at the mirror Ms.'" I added, which made her even angrier

This is how they are here

'"How dare you tell that to me, Huh?'" He shouted loudly, I almost fainted from the stench of his mouth, Joke!

I approached him to whisper

'"You must know how to identify the person you are up against. Or you might hit the wall. Ms.'" I whispered here Regardless of its glaring eyes

I stepped back after whispering what I wanted to say, my grin widened as it backed away as if shocked at what I said it walked away without warning, it returned to its own seat. I adjusted my coat and sat down as if nothing had happened

A few more minutes passed and the Professor arrived

"So we have a new Student here. Please stand and introduce your self '" said the professor, reason for me to stand up

'"Good morning! My Name is Airelle Shireen Huxley De Laval'" I briefly introduced myself and sat down

'"How are you related to Mr. Theron Huxley? The owner of this school'" he asked

I was wondering, Owner?
Why didn't Tanda mention anything

'"He is my Grandfather'" I was still hesitant whether to say it or not

They were all surprised, and the professor fell silent as well, when he recovered from the shock he smiled and began to discuss.

The whole day passed and the class ended, well and I survived

As Tanda said I will wait for my pick -up so that's what I did, less than a few minutes later the car stopped in front of me. The bodyguard who was with me came out and opened the door for me.

When we got home I immediately went up the stairs to the bedroom I put my bag on the sofa here in my room and lay down on the bed even though I had not changed my uniform.

I took my cellphone out of my pocket and checked if there was a text or call from Sir Lewis in case I remembered that it was my cellphone before and Tanda took my old cellphone.

I got up and dressed for the house, I also left the room and went to the kitchen

I took milk and bread and sat down so that I could eat comfortably

The days went by and I learned a lot and I also discovered a lot about our family, little by little my memories are coming back.

Tanda also said that it was not an accident that happened to us, because the truck collided on purpose. Someone ordered
