FVCK UP LOVE

CHAPTER NINE

Cliff Piers Sandoval's POV

A tough day for my band mates has been easily passed by. A week later, and I have now decided to disturb Emery again. I haven't seen her in the last few days because I was busy with school and band rehearsals.

I was walking down the hallway when I suddenly saw her. I was about to go to her unit, but look at this: the moment has been given to us, and I intend to seize it.

"Good morning!" I greeted her cheerfully. The smile on my face is wider than before. I missed her even though she didn't, and she won't reciprocate the same feelings I had for her.

She rolled her eyes as an answer. Right? What to expect?

"Where are you going?" I asked her while following her. It looks like she will go somewhere else, but it is the weekend.

"In hell, you want to come with me?" she answered while I was still following her.

"If you would let me. I am not busy right now. I have a lot of time with me. I can accompany you wherever you want to go." Do we look like friends now? I can say that we are having a conversation while walking together.

Emery paused for a while when we reached the parking lot. Little did I realize that we had come here already. I was just focusing on her.

"Drive for me." Then she threw away the car keys. She entered first in her car, then I immediately followed her. Is she serious?

Emery Austin's POV

How to start a day wrong?

Firstly, my driver was not around, so I had to drive by myself. Second, the school where I am enrolled is requiring every student to take a series of medical examinations, and I absolutely hate them! If only I could break their necks and rules, then I would!

I went outside my room and got ready to go. As I was walking, I saw Cliff in the hallway. This guy didn't bother to disturb me for the past few days. I just wonder what happened to him. But don't get me wrong, I am not worried about him. Being worried about someone else is not in my vocabulary.

"Good morning!" He greeted me, but I just rolled my eyes. Nothing is new, his presence still gets me irritated.

"Where are you going?" and he is even asking a personal question as if we are close.

"In hell, you want to come with me?"

"If you would let me. I am not busy right now. I have a lot of time with me. I can accompany you wherever you want to go." Alright! I have an idea.

I paused for a while when we reached the parking lot.

"Drive for me." I commanded, then threw the car keys in his direction.

I will make him my driver today. A driver for a day sounds great, right?

"Where are we going?" he asked. I looked at him. It looked like he couldn't believe I was allowing him to drive for me.

"At my school," then I gave him directions. He immediately started the engine. Good thing he knew how to drive. He could be useful sometimes.

I remained silent as I looked outside the car, looking at each establishment and view we were passing by.

"Emery..." but he is trying to break the silence. I looked at him then raised my brows.

"Why did you let me drive for you?"

"I don't have a driver today, that is why."

A moment of silence again. My school isn't that far from the condominium, but it seems so far away now.

When we finally arrived at the school, I asked him if he wanted to come with me. Outsiders are allowed to enter our school today, and besides, it might take a long time for me to be able to completely do all the medical tests. He might get bored inside the car, so I let him come with me. Why am I explaining anyway?

The moment Cliff and I went out of the car and walked on the pathway, lots of students were screaming. Let me rephrase it, lots of girl students were screaming.

I smirked. This guy might be really popular, but how come I didn't recognize him the first time we met? His friends look familiar to me. I have seen them in the commercials, but why does my mind exclude Cliff from the picture? Might be his face can be easily to forget so just never mind.

The next scenario is one I really did not expect. The girls ran towards us, specifically to Cliff. They were pulling Cliff's shoulder and asking him to have a picture with them. Hell! Yes! These girls were pathetic.

I threw Cliff a death glare. It seemed like he understood what I wanted to happen and so excused himself, then stayed beside me. We continued walking, but these pathetic girls were still following us. Shall I show them a gun? Nah, cut it. I do not own a gun.

I called the attention of the security guards. I asked them to guard Cliff and draw him away from the monsters.

We led towards the administration office.

Cliff is just silently following me wherever I go. I got a form to fill up, and on this form, all the medical exams that each student had to take were enumerated.

I almost ripped the paper I was reading as I had seen all the tests I would be needing to take. The list goes on and on: urine test, blood test, X-ray, blood pressure check, eyesight (reading letters from a chart), checking the weight, checking the height, heart check, and the list goes on and on again. The nerve! Is this really compulsory!?!

"Why?" Cliff asked. He probably noticed that I am so pissed right now.

I hand him the paper that I am holding. He took a look at it.

"What is wrong with this?" he innocently asked. I smirked, then grabbed the paper he was holding.

"What is wrong with this? This dumb, pathetic school is asking every student to take all these medical examinations! I do not understand why I need to follow them! They are asking a lot of things! The list of the things I need to do right now is incredible! Devastating! Annoying!" A rant that I wished the faculty members could hear me.

"Calm down, Emery. I think they are just doing it for the sake of each student, including you. Those tests will not harm you after all. Do you even think of it? It can determine whether you have underlying health problems or whether you are healthy. "

Somewhat he had a point.

I paused for a while and stood up.

Alright then, I will take these gross medical exams!
