I first saw Lauter and I recognized him as brother Lauter because he was the first to come from Manila, I took care of him and brought him snacks and I felt good about him because maybe because he is kind and a friend, they will not be poor like others there.
while brother Lauter and I were talking because I was in awe of him, his brother Frank Lin Mondragon came.
I was surprised because of the angry face he showed me, amen.
"Relax dude, you're scaring me." Brother Lauter said so I looked at him.
"When are you going to learn to talk to the son of a Lauter helper?" He said seriously to brother Lauter so I bowed.
"Brother!" brother Lauter was with him but he just turned his back and nodded as if he didn't hear anything.
"Leave it alone, maybe it's just stress." Brother Lauter warned me, so I just smiled at him.
Frank Lin is a Serious Guy doesn't smile like the world is a burden and it's scary like it's a mistake you just yell at it. I felt my heart with one hand because I felt it beat faster, I don't know I was just nervous about Frank's aura earlier which is the opposite of Lauter's brother who is happy and always smiling, his face is clear.
"Come here Rana," brother Lauter pulled me and took me outside their house. He made me sit on the garden set table and he smiled.
"You stay there, I'll be back.". He spoke to me before turning away.
"Wait a minute brother Lauter?" I called him so he stopped.
"I'm going to work because Mom might scold me." I said to him and bowed.
"I'll take care of it Rana." He smiled at me and left me. I didn't do anything but go back to where brother Lauter made me sit.
I looked up because I felt someone watching me, our eyes met so I was surprised and stood up. There was his serious face again, I was forced to smile at him but didn't reciprocate.
"Alright Rana, sit there." Brother Lauter spoke so I looked at him and sat down.
"What are you doing?" I asked him, so he looked at me.
"I'll draw you." He smiled and answered me so I applauded.
"Are you smart brother?" I asked him.
"Rana?" call me
"Rana?" The person sitting next to me called me again so I looked at him.
"I've been talking to you for a while, you're just staring." My friend Alexa and Jon Peter spoke rudely to me, who was also listening.
"What is that?" I asked him again.
"They say we have a new Professor from Harvard University for Ph.D." He said goodbye to me.
"That's just what you're saying." I answered him and lowered my seat.
"They said he was handsome and young, about 29 years old." he said to me.
"Even Lex, it's not going to change, they're still bullying me." I frowned at him.
"Because you're also being bullied." Jon answered me. Maybe later my clothes will be wet again because of what they are doing to me that is not nice.
I'm really confused by this. That's why I carry an extra uniform, extra for everything in my locker because there isn't a day that poor students don't bully me, but luckily I'm able to make ends meet because I've been in college for 3 years and they don't know that because I didn't tell them.
"Have you seen our new Professor?" Jon asked Alexa.
"They say it won't even start until tomorrow." he answered.
"I hope Prof is kind." Jon said.
"Maybe that's kind." I also told her to finish it.
"You are an Angel, Rana." they spoke to me at the same time.
The three of us have nothing to say because our class will start later, they know that I am a scholar here at the Mondragon School, so they always bully me and because they say I don't belong here. Since I stepped here, my life has not been peaceful. But that's how life really is. I thought I didn't have any friends who would accept me in my condition as a poor person, but there are some. So I'm grateful to them because they're always there to protect me.
The class ended without anyone entering my room because I thought the prof called me several times because I was not listening to him.
"Hey life." I spat so they all looked at me.
The three of us stayed behind because that's what we were doing.
"Hey! What are you thinking girl?" Alex asked me. So I looked at him.
"Nothing, I just feel bad." I answered him. I took my cellphone because I felt it bivariate and my message tune sounded.
I read the message, so I stood up suddenly. Both of them were surprised by my reaction. He's going to pick me up, how is that? My mind asked and I scratched the back of my neck. The other two just looked at me, what else should I do?
"Aren't you going home yet?" I asked them and let them go out.
"let's go together." Jon answered as we walked out the gate.
"You go first because I have more to pass." I pretended to say to her. So they nodded to me. It's a good thing they didn't ask me. They said goodbye just in time because their pick-ups had also arrived.
Frank's car stopped in front of me for a few minutes, I was surprised because there were many more people coming out. So before I boarded, I made sure that no one could see me, maybe this will be an issue again tomorrow.
I kissed her lips before I sat down.
"How's your studies baby?" He asked me and adjusted my seatbelt.
"It's okay baby. It's still normal school." I also answered him and kissed his cheek. I love kissing his part of face, he loves it. So I just smiled, because I only dreamed of him before, now he's mine.
"Where do you want to eat?" he asked me.
"Anywhere as long as you're with me." I answered him but he just smiled.
