Chapter 3: Chapter2
Realization hit me as I read what was on the business card over and over again. Just imagining how my father would react sent shivers down to my spine. I should just avoid him, I thought to myself, as I raised my fist as if to say that I'm determined to avoid the cocky boy himself. I looked at Brennon who was staring at me like I did something hilarious. I raised my brows at him.
"What." I arrogantly asked him, he shook his head and chuckled "You're doing that habit of yours again." I gave him a questioned look as I try to think what habit of mine that I did, but nothing seemed to come up in my mind. I shook my head and continue to walk as Brennon tailed behind me.
Brennon's Pov
She doesn't even realize that she has that little habit of hers when she puts out her fist whenever she is determined to do something. Cute, I thought to myself as I chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Acacia asked with a hard voice, as if she knew I was laughing at her. I'm laughing at you because you're cute, But I didn't have the courage to tell her that.
"I'm laughing because you look like an angry Karen." I smirked which made her face fume into anger. "You son of a--" before she could continue any further the school bell rang.
"Oh, hear that? That''s the sound of god saving me from the demon herself." I laughed seeing her turn bright red from anger, before she has the chance to strangle me to death a teacher approached us.
"Excuse me, Are you miss Acacia Jeanne uhh.." looking like she forgotten her last name, Acacia took a deep breathe and nodded at her.
"Come, I will escort you to your class, I will be in charge of your class by the way, Miss Laleth." Acacia nodded and as before she was about to follow the teacher, she turned to my direction and gave me her deadliest glare, I stuck my tongue out at her and chuckled as I saw her irritated pouting face.
Acacia's Pov
Stupid Brennon, the only person who is a demon is him. I kept my eyebrows narrowed as we were walking to my class.
"Goodmorning class, this is our new student. Miss Acacia please introduce yourself." I nodded and was about to introduce myself when I made eye contact with the guy we met earlier, Dave? Graphing? Antler? What was his name again?
"Miss Acacia?" Miss Laleth's voice pulled me out of my thoughts when I realized I was staring at him. Avoid him. I reminded myself. I gave him a cold glare and continued with my Introduction.
"Hello everyone, I'm Acacia Jeanne--" I wasn't able to finish my introduction when someone suddenly interrupted it by opening the door.
"I'm sorry I was late, I had to visit the principal's office." The boy that I bumped to earlier shyly scratched the back of his head.
"It's okay Adam, you may take your seat." The teacher warmly smiled at him. We made eye contact as he avoided it right away right as I was about to give him a smile.
"Acacia, you may take your seat also." Thinking that she have forgotten all about the introduction, I shrugged my shoulders and look for an available seat, which is beside the guy who I bumped first-- Adam. And the guy who I bumped second-- Antler guy.
And yes, I went to sit beside Adam. Whom is trying his best to avoid me.
"Hey, I'm Acacia." I smiled warmly at him, putting out my hand for him to shake. "Adam" he muttered without a single glance on my way. I took my hand back awkwardly and just listened to what the teacher was saying.
The school bell rang, signaling that class has ended. Adam quickly gathered his things onto his bag and was about to leave the classroom when I touched his arm for--
"Can't you stop bothering me?!" Adam suddenly shouted which led me to complete shock along with the other students left in the classroom. My blood suddenly boiled by his rude talking.
"What is your fucking problem?! I was being nice to you but you kept treating me as if I'm a big threat" I exploded not able to handle the emotions inside of me.
"Yes of course you're a big threat, everyone here thinks you are, It is because you're the daughter of a murderer." he mocked.
Daughter of a murderer. The words hit me like a truck which the anger built inside of me grew. I punched him straight in the face which led him lying on the floor with a broken bleeding nose.
"D-Don't you fucking dare talk about my dad like that, talk about me all you want, just don't bring my dad into this!" I screamed at him with uneasy breathing, ready to charge at him once again, when someone grabbed me from behind.
"Woah woah woah, easy there tiger." Brennon tried to pull me away, but in my mind, Adam still lacks of karma.
"What the hell did you do to my brother?!" Antler came rushing to aid his poor bleeding brother. Serves him right . But what shocked me the most was--
"Your brother?" I asked in utter shock, which made me receive glares from both of the siblings.
"Yes my brother." he highlighted the brother part. But they don't look the same?
"And if so he is your brother? Your brother talked shit about my father, which he deserves a punch, I mean he still deserves more punches." I said with anger in my voice.
"Let's just go, don't waste your time with them." Brennon tried dragging me out of the scene with people I noticed gathered around us. When I suddenly forgot something.
"Wait." I took something out of my pocket and approached Adam who was being helped up by Antler guy, when I approached him I pulled out something and forcefully gave him his pen which hit his chest painfully. He winced at the impact and glared at me, when he saw what was the thing I gave him, his expression turned into a guilty one.
"That was the purpose of my approach earlier, jerk." I spat and walked out of the scene. Here I thought Adam would be the first ever nicest person in this school, I guess everyone here are no different from other schools I attended. Still a bunch of jerks and immature people.
Adler's Pov
That girl seemed interesting, which made me even more curious about her. That single punch blew Adam out which is a sign that she knows how to fight. Well, Adam is a bit of a Wimp, which made it understandable about his nonstop bleeding from his nose.
I know what you are all thinking. We are brothers, but we don't look similar at all. Long story short, we don't have that cliche father having a mistress then boom, they got pregnant with Adam. No. Adam was basically my bestfriend ever since we were little, but then his actual parents died since his both parents works as a flight attendant, and as a pilot. So I beg my father and mother to adopt him, then now here we are continue growing up as brothers. But then my mother died which was brought to both of our distress, but it affected Adam more since mom adored him as if she's a mother to him and as if he's an actual son to her, so basically, it's like 3 most precious people to him died.
What I was curious about was the past that Adam had, and why would he be so bitter about Jeanne and her father? I stared at Adam getting treated by our school's nurse, wincing once in a while as the school's nurse aid for his small cuts. After the nurse treated him, I stared at him longer.
"What?" he asked me being creeped out by my long stares.
"I'm just curious, at first, why were you be afraid of Jeanne?" I eyed at his questioned expression.
"Jeanne?" I nodded and said, "Yes, Acacia Jeanne."He stiffened a bit but at the same time I saw a glance of disbelief as if I should know her.
"You don't know her?" he asked in disbelief.
"Do I look like I know her? Am I supposed to know her?" I looked at him boringly, he just shook his head in disbelief, "Nevermind."
"You still haven't explained to me yet why were you so scared of her." I pointed out which made him stiffened again him thinking that I forgotten the question earlier.
"Well..." He scratched the nape of his neck, "Remember the childhood crush I had before when we were little? My neighbor before?" I nodded my head.
"But if you liked her before, what did you do so that she could punched you like that? I felt like you said some arrogant things to her that made her mad, which isn't so like you."
"Bros before hoes." he said, I gave him a questioned look.
"I don't think she looked like a hoe to me." which made him face palmed.
"I didn't mean that she was hoe bro, what I meant was that I decided to side with you than to side with her." he said
"Side with me? What did she do to me to make us look like we are against each other?" I was getting more confused.
"You'll find out sooner or later." He smiled sadly.
Now I'm getting more curious of this Acacia Jeanne we are talking about, and if I find out, I feel like I wouldn't like it.
Adam's Pov
I felt bad about lashing out on Acacia like that, she didn't deserve it. She was just being nice to me, but my mind keeps telling me not to betray Adler like that. I knew she didn't deserve all the hate, but what her father did was unacceptable, but I think blaming her wouldn't get me anywhere. When I bumped into her, I felt like my heart skipped a beat. I know, I dated girls before, but Acacia's impact to me was so different. She grew up to be a such beautiful person, in and out. But she seems to be arrogant at times and hot tempered, based on my observations. But besides that, she grew up well, even with a murderer of father.
Shit. I thought to myself, I told her straight away that her father is a murderer. Now that I think about it, it sounds so harsh. Guilt keeps running in my emotions. I'll just make it up to her. I thought to myself, yes I should. If ever she'll talk to me tomorrow.
