the day passed by so fast that the students of stellis high didn't even realize it, or they enjoyed their classes for today to notice, rather. the sun was soon to set, so the school bell rang, indicating the whole school that it's finally time to call it a day.

"alright, class, that's all for today. huwag niyo'ng kakalimutang gawin ang homework niyo para sa next meeting. dismissed." the class of themis' homeroom teacher reminds before leaving the classroom, and as soon as she was out of sight, the students she handles immediately cheers in joy, causing an uproar. nothing beats the feeling of the bell ringing to signify the end of class hours for them. it was euphoric.

however, some of them won't be able to leave just yet.

"hoy, von hagen! cleaners!" marius flinched at the sudden shout of his name, causing him to sigh. surely, a couple of floor wax won't cut it for today.

"ate naman, e. bukas nalang ako, please? mag-pe-paint pa 'ko, e." he pleads with prolonged words, putting his palms together to somehow convince y/n to give him a chance.

but to no avail, y/n did not agree to his terms. "ano'ng bukas? maglinis ka diyan! 'di porke rich kid ka 'di ka na maglilinis! ano ka, sinuswerte?" she scolds, pausing for a bit before continuing her sentence. "also, mukha ba 'kong ate? tangina mo, mas matanda lang ako ng konti sa'yo."

having no choice left to pick, marius grumpily went over the back of their classroom to grab a broom, his purple hues stuck on y/n's figure as she started cleaning the room herself together with their classmates that were willing to help.

not long after their small bickering, though, a set of tasks were given to marius from the same person.

"von hagen, paki-tapon nga 'yung basura."

"von hagen, paki-mop na 'yung sahig."

"von hagen, 'yung part mo sa research paper, ah?"

"von hagen, pakiayos na rin pala 'yung related lit, salamat."

their classmates didn't know what to feel at that very moment due to the scene that they're witnessing, so they just let y/n talk. they can't really blame her, though. she was one of the best performing students in their class, hence explains her current behavior.

meanwhile, marius grew tired of listening to her requests, so he decided to interrupt her by holding her wrist, which successfully shut y/n up, causing her to look up to marius' purple eyes.

"for an honor student, ang daldal mo." he snapped towards her, which caused the latter to raise an eyebrow towards him. it wasn't long until marius' current expression was replaced by his usual one, sneering playfully.

"ano'ng problema mo?" y/n asked, eyebrow still raised due to confusion.

"puro ka von hagen. ate, crush mo ba 'ko?"

"putangina mo."
