Chapter 53: Chapter 53

BRUCE

I woke up at 6am so I immediately got out of my bed and I'm still sad to think of not being with Simoune today. What if someone fights with her? How can I save her? Now that we have different schools. It's up to me! I'm going to text Lucy so she can get ready for school

"Lucy! Get up! Maybe I'll wait for you outside your house" I said

"I'm really awake! Pick me up later" Lucy said

I immediately went downstairs and saw mommy cooking breakfast while daddy was getting dressed to leave for the company

"Oh son! Eat here" Mommy said

I immediately sat down at the table and served the food for me to eat

"Oh? Why do you look sad?” Mommy said

"It's not too much I said

“Hmmm…. You are sad, why?" Mommy asked again

"It's because of Simoune, because she has moved to another school, didn't I already tell you about the kidnapping that happened? Now what happened was that she was bullied at school on the 1st day. Then she told her daddy that it would be better if she changed schools, so I can't do anything about her decision." I said

"Bullied? How? Where? Who?" Mommy asked while looking at me and concerned about Simoune

"They wrote something on the board that she was flirtatious, would grab a boyfriend and then they even drew a horn on Simoune's picture and pointed at her while laughing at her" I said

"Why were you didn't there on the 1st day of school?" Mommy asked

"Mommy, I'm also in the room, I can't stop them because there are too many of them and Lucy and I are the only two. so when Simoune ran, Lucy and I tried to chase because she was too fast so we didn't catch her" I said

"Poor Simoune, after what happened to her now she is being bullied so it is good that she changed schools so that she can also get away from the issue that is spreading in her school. If that's what will help her son, give it to her" Mommy said

"I don't have a choice, mom, the case is of course I'm worried about Simoune, especially since she goes to and from school alone" I said

"She can handle her own son, she will ask for help if she can't" Mommy said

I ate while on the phone, I saw Lucy's chat in our group chat

"Simoune? are you awake What time do you go to school?” Lucy asked

"Yes, I'm also preparing because it's the same time as Adamson" Simoune replied

"Be careful! We are not by your side right now, so you must be strong for anyone!” Lucy said

"Of course! Don't worry about me. You too be careful" Simoune said

"Go home immediately if necessary" I said

"Yes, thanks for the concern, thank you" Simoune said

After I finished eating, I went to the bathroom to take a shower but I can't get out of my mind the worry about Simoune because of course other people are with her now, Then she will drive so I'm more worried about Simoune. After I showered, I immediately went to the living room and said goodbye to Mommy

"Mommy, I'm leaving, I'll pick up Lucy" I said

"Oh, be careful about driving, okay?" Mommy said

I hugged mommy before I left the house and got into the car and I immediately went to Lucy's house and it looks like she woke up early because I saw her outside their house

"You're really early today" I said

"Of course! It's just sad because Simoune is gone, she's at a different school and it's annoying!" Lucy said

"There is nothing we can do about Simoune's decision because she prefers to be alone first, let us be separated from each other for just one year" I said

“Even though it's sad! Imagine that all this happened because of Vince!? It's all Vince's fault" Lucy said

"You can't blame Vince because he's not here anymore and for sure he might be dead because Mila's father beat him so bad" I said

"Owww the bad weed takes a long time to die, so I'm sure Vince is still alive" Lucy said

"How did you get what you said" I said

"Mommy just told me" Lucy said

"You really know so much" I said

When we got to the school, I immediately parked the car in the parking area and we walked into the campus. Good thing we were only in the room because all those who bullied Simoune were suspended. I'm still worried about Simoune because I hardly see her every day. I don't know if she is safe or not

I texted Simoune to let me know she was safe

"Simoune? Are you in your school now?” I asked

"Yes, I just arrived" Simoune said

It's good that she got to school safely, I can't ask for anything else but Simoune's safety now and I hope her 1st day of school goes well and she makes friends. Our class has started and since we are in our 4th year, we will have three theses, so we will be really busy doing research papers. I hope that by the end of this year we will be able to graduate, that is one of my many wishes

SIMOUNE

I woke up early to avoid being late because today is my 1st day of school. I went down to the kitchen and made some coffee, I saw Nanny Lily cooking food and Daddy getting things ready as it looked like he was about to leave and go to work

"Daddy are you leaving?" I asked

"Yes dear, our meeting is early. Eat before you go in, be careful when driving." Daddy said

"Be careful, too, daddy" I said

I immediately sat down and served my breakfast

"Are you excited now?" Nanny Lily said

"Maybe a little bit Nanny Lily, I hope my 1st day of school goes well and I make new friends so that being a 4th year student won't be boring" I said

"You will have that just trust. This is your uniform, I ironed it so you can wear it" Nanny Lily said

"Thank you Nanny Lily" I said

After I finished eating, I received a chat in our group chat

"Simoune? are you awake What time do you go to school?” Lucy asked

"Yes, I'm also getting ready because it's the same time as Adamson" I said

"Be careful! We are not by your side right now, so you must be strong for anyone!” Lucy said

"Of course! Don't worry about me. You too be careful" I said

"Go home immediately if necessary" Bruce said

"Yes, thank you for the concern, thank you to you" I said

It's funny because I'm in a new school and I can escape all the ugly things that happened to me in the past but the only sad thing is that I'm not with Lucy and Bruce anymore. I immediately went up to my room to take a shower and of course get dressed. After I showered, I put some makeup on my face and then I went down to the living room. I have to go to school so I said goodbye to Nanny Lily.

"Nanny Lily, I'm leaving" I said

"Oh, be careful, drive slowly, okay?" Nanny Lily said

"Yes, of course Nanny Lily" I said

I immediately waved to Nanny Lily and then I left the house and got into the car. It's sad because I'm the only one in the car and I'm the one driving but it's better than joining my old school and then it's full of memories of the past I will only be hurt by those who will hurt me in that school if I stay there

When I arrived at the school, there were too many students. I was almost alone because I hardly knew the students and when I found my room, I entered it, but it was only few student still

"Hello! I'm Clarisse, are you a transferee here?" Clarisse asked

"Yes, I enrolled late. That's why I late in school lesson" I said

"Oh, that's okay. Where was your old school?” Clarisse asked

"At Adamson University" I said

"Ohhh!!! Your old school was good, but why did you transfer?" Clarisse asked

"Someone bullied me so I was forced to move to keep everyone quiet" I said

"Seriously? Are you being bullied!? They are crazy. It's better that you're here, it's safe here" Clarisse said

"I hope I'll be safe here" I said

"What is your name?" Clarisse asked

"Simoune Fierro" I said

"Wow your name is unique, I'm Clarisse Jones!" Clarisse said

We didn't talk anymore when suddenly our professor came in and Clarisse immediately sat next to me

"Good day, we have a new student here in the room. Let's give her time to introduce herself. Miss, come here first and introduce yourself" Professor said

I immediately stood up and went to the front

"Hello everyone, I'm Simoune Fierro. I hope I can get along with all of you and I hope we can form a bond together. By the way, I'm from Adamson University, but because I got into trouble at school, there was an emergency transfer, that's why I'm here now." I said

"You may now sit Miss Simoune, class be nice to Miss Simoune. okay? Because you will also be with her for one year from today" Professor said

I can see their warm acceptance of pain because I can feel it. I sat down at my desk and then Sir started to discuss, I listened quietly because I knew it would be difficult for me if I didn't listen, especially since it was about the research paper. After our class, I immediately left the room when Clarisse suddenly touched me

"Are you going somewhere else today?" Clarisse asked

"No more. Why?” I said

"Let's eat at Starbucks! I'll treat you?" Clarisse said while smiling at me

"Do you have a car?" I asked

"Yes, why are you riding?" Clarisse asked

"No, I also have a car but let's go. Let's meet at Starbucks itself" I said

"Alright" Clarisse said

We went to the parking lot together, and look at that we still have the same car, only her is red

“Oh! We have the same car" Clarisse said

"I was also surprised HAHHAHHAA" I said

"Oh come on let's go" Clarisse said

I got into the car and started driving to starbucks. When we arrived at Starbucks, we immediately ordered and looked for a place to sit

"It's very good that you agreed to come with me" Clarisse said

"Why?" I asked

"I don't have any friends yet because I'm just a transferee, but I'm not a late enroller" Clarisse said

"Oh? You're also a transferee, which school are you from?" I asked

"In Baguio, mommy has sent me to take care of my brother here" Clarisse said

"Is that so? I thought you've been at De La Salle for a long time" I said because I was shock that she's also a transferee

"No! Hahahaha" Clarisse said

Baguio? Does she not know Mila and Vince? What if I ask her?

"Does anyone know Mila? Or Charles Garcia?” I asked

"I'm not friendly in our place so I have no idea. Why who are they?” Clarisse asked

"Nothing nothing" I said

"Hmmm... maybe you're talking about lower year because I've never heard of a name like that in my batch. Actually, I should have graduated because I stopped, so I repeated in the 4th year" Clarisse said

"Does that mean you're 1 year ahead of me?" I asked

"Yes, I'm 23 years old, how about you?" Clarisse said

"I'm only 21. Wait, why did you stop studying?" I asked

"We had an emergency, so after that I was too lazy to study, all I wanted was to watch over Daddy in the hospital, but now he's okay" Clarisse said

"I'm sorry if I gave you that kind of question" I said

"That's okay, it's over, the important thing is I'm studying again" Clarisse said

After we finished eating, we immediately said goodbye to each other

"See you tomorrow Simoune!" Clarisse said

"See you too!" I said

I got into the car and drove home. Anyway, I feel good, I'm not sad and I'm not too happy, just neutral. When I got home, I was immediately greeted by Nanny Lily

"How was your 1st day of school?" Nanny Lily asked

"It's okay, at least I made a friend" I said

"It's good then, I'm happy for you. Do you want a snack?” Nanny Lily asked

"No need, Nanny Lily, I'm still full" I said

"Oh go ahead and rest first" Nanny Lily said

I immediately went up to my room and lay down, I received chats from Lucy

"Simoune? Do you want us to come to you now?" Lucy asked

"Don't do it today Lucy, maybe tomorrow I'll be sleepy too" I said

"Is that so? Go ahead and rest. Tomorrow we will come to you" Lucy said, I know they're concerned about me

I lay down, thinking about what happened on my 1st day of school, somehow I feel safe and the people around me are okay. I hope that good things will continue to happen to me

...

Simoune's 1st day at De La Salle school went well and she had a friend named Clarisse even if Simoune wanted to take them to Lucy, she couldn't do it because she was tired so she preferred to sleep. It's not lost on Bruce to worry about Simoune but it's happy because somehow Simoune's 1st day of school was good for her

When Bruce and Lucy finished class, they went to the park because they were doing their research paper. After they did that, Bruce took Lucy to their house. After that, Bruce went home

Bruce tries to chat with Simoune but she doesn't reply, maybe she's asleep, so Bruce decides to rest. Simoune woke up and ate dinner, she saw Bruce's texts inviting her to eat outside, but because she was asleep earlier, Simoune didn't reply to it right away. Simoune ignored it and went back to sleep

Will Simoune's life be going well? Is Clarisse really a friend or an enemy?
