Tense.

That's the word best described the situation I'm in right now. Imagine this situation.

Your inside a dim car. Beside you is a hunk with an ominous aura seeping out of his body while talking quietly in his phone. In front are two bulky men wearing black suit and shades. Seriously? Where's the sun? Or maybe they're some kind of alien hunter like Will Smith in the Men in Black movie.

And lastly you. The only innocent one inside the car with nothing but your own self to keep. The car took a short stop and the driver turned to us.

"Sir were here." The driver spoke in a blank tone making me flinch on my seat as I started to fidget.

The one in the passenger seat quickly bolted out of the car and open my door letting me and Hugh out of the car like some royalties we are.

Dude, I'm not a girl, I can fucking open the door on my own. No need to act like someone so royal. When I step out of the car, I was so relieved that the fresh air of the surroundings washed out the ominous aura that's been lingering in my nostrils. And I really really did not like it. It's suffocating, so hard to breath.

When I scanned the surrounding we stop, I felt confusion hit me like a slap.

"What're we doing in your mall?" I asked him but he just smirk at me and continued walking inside. Tsk, was that suppose to be an answer?

We keep a stern walk inside the mall. And some people would look at us and immediately gasps or started pointing and murmuring towards us. Who wouldn't do that if you saw the 'Jaxton the great' himself with two bulky bodyguards on each side and a mere guy like me walking with him.

We entered in this huge random boutique that sells clothes and other accessories and to my realization, it was his own damn clothing company. Damn! rich people sure are rich. If that makes any sense.

"Good morning sir." Greeted the two ladies to Hugh but he just wave them off and walk straight to the red couch by the corner and placed his ass on it.

"I want you to pick some clothes for him." He ordered the ladies and then they scurry away. The other one neared me and grab my hand to led me to the fitting room.

"Here sir. Well take care of you." She said while dragging me, while I kept on dragging away from her. I snap my head to Hugh.

"Hugh! I don't need clothes. Look! My clothes are still good!" He just looked at me with a bored expression, making me frown.

"I don't want to go on a date if my partners are not presentable. Lucky you, I want to properly court you, not to be my one night stand." He bluntly said, making the lady holding me blushed and look down on the shiny floor.

I felt something spark inside me. It felt like irritation, then anger. Either him courting me or taking me as a one night stand, there's no other thing I wanna do is to not get involved with this man. And that's final. I will avoid him until he gets enough of it then leave me be.

I pry the ladies hand away and bolted out of the store. I heard yelling inside the store but I didn't dare look behind and continue on running.

"Hey kid! Come back here!" I look passed my shoulder and it was the two bulky men of Hugh. Fuck this. I quickened my pace more so that I can reach the door in no time. I look like a thief right now.

And I wasn't wrong about looking like a thief coz right now, guards are also running after me! Fuck!

"Stop that kid!" Yelled someone behind my back. The guard in the exit door ready his stance to catch me but I quickly slide off the floor and passed under his wide open legs. I quickly stood up and got inside a waiting taxi. I heaved a sigh of relief when I was finally out of the mall.

"Kid. Robbing is not good. Look at you, your still young, you can go finish school and get a job." The driver gave an advise without knowing the situation.

"Sir. I'm totally not a thief. I was just trying to get out of someone's grip and they thought I was robbing something." I spat with bitterness in my voice. The driver gave me an apologetic face through the front mirror which I just smirk.

"I'm sorry for not knowing your situation young man." He replied with a gentle voice.

"Yeah, whatever!" I grumble.

The cab came to a stop and I paid the ride. I slip in inside my house and locked all the locks I have in my door. I went inside my room and slump my body on my bed.

"Gosh, what a day." I mumbled to myself then heaved a sigh while curling into a ball and drift off to sleep.

★

The following day was more horrible. As expected, all seniors except the nerds who went to the party and ditched school the following day got punishments. All of us has to clean the school for the whole day which was the most terrifying punishment I have ever encountered. I get to clean the most dirtiest bathroom that was ever built on our campus. And I have to bath thousand gallons of sanitizer before I get the assurance that I was free from germs.

And I also made a promise to myself to not get involve on parties and just focus on my studies. I don't want that horrible punishment to happen again. It just makes my skin crawl.

Brrrr.......

"Okay, I know your mad at me but, I'm so so sorry Erwan. It won't happen again. So if you don't want to fail us, please cooperate with me." Kenneth pleaded at me.

The other students around us were already looking at us weirdly because were causing too much of a ruckus. Kenneth is kneeling on the floor begging for my forgiveness while I just tend to look down at him. But when I realized it, I really don't want to fail this year, because it's been already my last year and I'll be graduating in six months.

We were supposed to work together on some random project on our course and we haven't had the time to start because I wasn't cooperating with him. Because! I was fucking furious. I get to clean some shit bathroom while him, he just called as 'sick' which the guidance gave consideration.

Fuck him!

But, there's nothing I can do. If I want to graduate then let bygones be bygones.

"Ok Kenneth, I forgive you. But no more partying ok?" I said.

"You have my word bud!" He beamed and quickly shot up from the floor and rest his arm on my shoulder.

"So, we should plan our project so we can finally list down the things to buy." He said with a stupid grin.

"So my house?" He asked.

"Not the condo?"

"Unfortunately, my parents arrived just yesterday and I need to sleep at home. But I did keep the locks secure whenever I sleep in my room now." He said while scratching the back of his head. "So... my house?" He added.

"Totally NO! I don't want to see your sister. She's a rapist." I replied grimly.

"You mean stepsister." He corrected.

"Yeah whatever." I shood his hands away.

Remember the girl who tried to harass me when I was drunk? It was Kenneth's stupid stepsister Becca who is the university slut. Maybe every guy enrolled in this school has tasted her and no exception from the nerds. When I mean all of the guys, I mean all of it.

Well, since Kenneth and Becca live in the same house, Becca would sneek in his room when his asleep and do her dirty job without Kenneth knowing it. Yeah, like rape. So that had Kenneth moved out of their house and started living on his own condo. But if his parents would come home, he would slept in their house.

And there was me, almost got rape by her, thankful Hugh the great came into rescue. I don't even know how the hell he got there. Hmph, like I care.

"Ok, I'll come by six in your house. Make sure to order lots of pizza." Kenneth yelled at me and started running away like a pig on the loose.

"Tsk, pig!" I shouted back at him and he gave me the middle finger which I replied with the same middle finger.
