Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Wolf

The next day, Sophia arrived at the school earlier than yesterday. She looks tired. When she entered the gate, she was yawning. Nam held her right arm to support her on the way to her classroom. Nam placed Sophia's things on the vacant chair beside her. When Nam went out, she saw Drake standing in the hallway.

"What happened to her?" Drake asked worriedly.

"Ahh... She hasn't had enough sleep." Nam nervously responded.

"Why didn't she just rest at home?" Drake sounded concerned. Nam can't help but feel jealous. This guy was a year younger than him, but he was her type.

"She hates to be absent. You know what, maybe you can help me convince her to eat." Nam added.

"She hasn't eaten breakfast?" Drake asked.

"She ate a little. A spoonful of rice." Nam sounded worried.

"Alright." After saying this, Drake dialed his phone. Nam already headed to her classroom.

"Nana, Can you prepare a ham and egg sandwich? Also, prepare milk. Just use the tumbler Mom sent me. Then, Ask Rafael to send it to the school ASAP. "

Sophia is currently napping on her table. She looks a bit pale. No matter how worried Drake is, he knows he shouldn't step in. After about 15 minutes, the sandwich and the milk arrived. It's only Sophia inside the classroom. Drake took a pen and a sticky note from his pocket and wrote something.

When Sophia woke up, She was still alone. She noticed a small lunchbox and a tumbler displaying 67 degrees. There's a note above it stating,

"You should eat. Nana makes the best sandwich. I hope you'll like it.

Also, drink the milk while it's warm. You can keep the lunchbox and the tumbler as a gift." Sophia looked around to know who sent this. But she was alone.

The sandwich was indeed delicious. After eating it, I took a sip of the milk. The tumbler looked new and unused. Even the tag at the bottom was unscathed. Sophia wondered how someone found out she hadn't eaten breakfast. Nam won't do this either. I placed the lunchbox inside my bag and held the tumbler.

The flag ceremony starts at 7:30, and everyone is required to line up. I felt so much better after filling myself up. After the ceremony, we headed back to the classroom, and the teachers made us take a pre-test.

The first subjects are Science, English, and Math. Sophia found the questions easy.

She got a perfect score in all three subjects. To her, it was nothing but this gave her the title of the Grade 7 Genius. The 4o item test contains the lesson for the whole First Grading Period. Acing it is equivalent to prove you already know it all. The test result was made known to all the teachers of the school. Though this wasn't the first for a student to ace the pre-test in all these challenging subjects, a student with a high IQ is very beneficial. Drake was one of them.

The members of the Student Union were all monsters. They were either very talented or genius students. The scariest would be the president. He won every single contest he joined ever since his elementary days. Despite such status, he wasn't very popular. He goes by the name Wolf.

Unlike other Student Union organizations that allow the students to choose their leaders, Panglao High appoints them. The set-up wasn't complicated. If one wants to be part of the Student Union, they need to win against the officer that currently holds the title. Anyone can try, but no one succeeded. The position of the Grade 7 representative is empty. The possibility of her getting appointed is a hundred percent.

Out of the seven subjects, Sophia missed two points in Literature. The reason was questionable. The teacher was Kexin's aunt. Next to Sophia in the ranking was Kexin Reyes. She was off by five points of the overall score. When the Student Union Adviser heard of such, she ordered a re-evaluation of the piece. After about an hour, the results were out.

She scored 419. Kexin scored 414.

Wolf and Drake were both online. It's rare for both of them to be. The appointment of a grade-level representative is nothing important. But, it seemed as though they were on standby to wait for the results. Suddenly, a name appeared in the group.

"SU Adviser added Sophia Luna to the group."

In the Student Union Office, Drake smiled. Damien was still in a daze when he saw Sophia's name in the group. He felt like an additional Drake entered the group.

"Hey, bro! You didn't tell me your little girlfriend was a little devil."

"Watch your words, Damien, " Drake warned.

The Student Union adviser was no other than the principal herself. The moment she entered, Damien fell silent. Following her were the other officers. Rex Yu was the Grade 10 representative, Louis Jacobs was the Grade 9 representative, Alexa Willis was the secretary, and Brandon Mathews was the auditor and treasurer.

"Everyone, Please welcome the Grade 7 representative. Sophia Luna." The principal said. Sophia entered. She looks a bit better now. Drake has no idea that Sophia was a genius. When she smiled, they were stunned. Drake was observing the other officers. Suddenly, he felt disturbed. This little girl's charm is just too much. He remembered the first time he had seen her. When someone took their picture, he intentionally did not stop her. She looks super innocent. But when their eyes meet, he felt like protecting her. He thinks maybe he can be selfish for once.

"Hi everyone~ I'm Sophia" She smiled. The principal pulled her out of the class to join the meeting of the Student Union. When she entered, she saw Drake and Damien. There are also other student officers.

"Hi, Sophie! I'm Alexa." A girl spoke. She is tall and beautiful. Beside her were four guys.

"I'm Rex, he is Louis, and that's Brandon."

The adviser instructed them to sit down. Someone entered the room, a guy wearing a mask. He looked at Sophia and sat at the other end of the table. One thing that entered their mind was Wolf. He rarely joins the meeting. The temperature of the room dropped drastically.

"Good afternoon, everyone." He then took off his mask and revealed his face. Drake was calm, but the other officers, including Damien, weren't. Wolf is only a Grade 7 student like Sophia. When the former president graduated, Wolf took his place. Drake knew of this fact but didn't even bother telling anyone.

"My name is Alden Cyrus, Grade 7." He sternly spoke.

Sophia felt somewhat familiar with the guy. As she was trying to remember where she had seen him, Damien patted the back of her hand lightly. When she gained her senses, everyone was already staring at me.

"Sorry, What was it again?" The Student Union adviser, the principal, left the office when Wolf or Alden Cyrus entered. So I can only ask for Alexa or Drake.

" Introduce yourself." Alden/ Wolf said. How can this man be the president?

"I am Sophia Luna. Grade 7 representative."

"Alright, then, feel free to approach anyone if you need help," Alden said calmly.

"Okay. Thanks"

They talked about the incoming program~ The Acquaintance Party. Being the Grade 7 representative, I need to be active in this. We decided to hold it next month, July. Also, we will be deciding on a theme for every grade level. Alexa was quite busy talking. Wolf and Drake were looking at the files in the table. They looked busier than Alexa. When Alexa finished speaking, Wolf nodded at Drake. Drake stood up and walked towards the board.

He then draws the division of the respective areas for the grade levels. He explained and gave the year-level representatives the right to choose their desired theme. For Grade 9 and Grade 10, they decided on a formal look. Damien decided to take on the semi-formal look. As for Grade 7, Sophia chose a trendy style. Considering the possibilities, It gives a chance for the students to dress however they want. Be it be vintage, formal, casual or semi-formal, artsy, or bohemian. It never gets out of style. Wolf and Drake nodded.

After the meeting, Wolf handed Drake the papers. When she was about to get out, Wolf grabbed her hand. Drake saw what happened, and his brows furrowed. Wolf released Sophia's hand and placed his hands in his pocket. He was half-smiling.

"It was you, right?" Wolf asked.

"What?" Her eyebrows furrowed.

"The girl at Penshoppe?" Sophia's eyes widened. Of all the people in the world that could judge her clumsiness, Why does it have to be Alden?

"Ah, Nope! What do you mean?" I answered.

"You're not a good liar. Show me your wrist. " No matter how guilty Sophia feels, she can only keep up her act.

"Here." Sophia showed her wrist. Alden pulled something from his pocket and put it on Sophia's wrist. It was a bracelet. The bracelet that Sophia lost in the mall. Now, she can no longer deny it.

"Thank You."

"You're welcome, Luna. Let's go."
