Chapter 17: To accomplish your goals, you may have to swallow your pride.
It was in the morning,Brian has set an alarm for 5 am to prepare his big day to school. It is a big day because for the first time he wanted to approach Prisca and his crew and be friends with them so that he can gather information to save his friend Teddy.
He got out of bed first and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his hands. He then went to the kitchen to prepare a meal for himself.
While he was eating, Brian's father stepped into the kitchen and was surprised to see Brian there; typically, it was either he or his wife who woke him up, but this time he did it on his own.
His father asked, "How come you're here so early, am I dreaming or what? " "the thing is we're starting with our exams next week so I want to be as early as possible to school so that I won't get distracted" .
"oh my boy I see now, so you're preparing yourself for next yesr" . "of course dad I have to start getting used in waking up early cause next year I'll be doing the 12th grade so working up early will be part of my daily routines" , he stated as he consumed his meal.
Oh, I see. Let me take a shower and head to work, his father responded. "okay dad but don't take too long I don't want to be late to school" , he replied. "look at this brat as if it would be the first time being late" .
"oh and starting from today dad, I want you to drop me at school" , Brian responded. "I have never refused to drop you out at school you're the one who always wake up late which makes me to leave you behind cause there's no way I can make myself late to work because of you" .
While laughing, Brian made no comment. His father took a bath in the bathroom. Following his meal, Brian proceeded to iron his school clothes.
Speaking inaudibly: (The only reason I was early this time was to get there in time to have a conversation with that girl. She is rumored to arrive at school early every day. Every day, her bodyguard drops her off to school.Therefore, all I need is an opportunity to get close to her, and then I can start gathering evidence to show my friend's innocence. All I know is that girl is not a saint, and finding out that would help me in this situation. I'm sure she engages in criminal activity behind her father's back).
…
...
After 30 minutes, his father was done with the bath. After changing into his clothing and taking a bath, Brian's father dropped him off at school on his way to work.
In front of the entrance gate, Brian awaited Prisca. He was feeling nervous and worried but tried to remain calm. He checked the clock and added, "I just hope that she hasn't come yet. Prisca arrived at school in 5 minutes. Right away, Brian approached her to say hello.
"hey Prisca" . He said, "Who are you? ". She pointed towards Brian while laughing and clicking her fingers. "Oh, you're that loser's friend. You have the audacity to come to me, do you also want to rot in jail? she smirked.
Speaking inaudibly: (This bitch is so proud of what she did. I really want to kill her, but restraint is necessary or else my plan will fail before I even obtain what I want. All I have to do is pretend to grin).
Brian started laughing. I have no idea what you're talking about. He continued, raising his eyebrows, "I'm not friends with anyone, I only felt sorry for that guy because I thought he was simply poor and miserable, I didn't realize that he was also a horrible rapist and psychopath.
Prisca guffawed. She walked over to Brian and stared at him in the eyes. "Do you think I'm stupid or what, the last few weeks you wanted to eat me alive stating that I'm accusing your friend.Brian responded, "it's because that poor rat brain washed me but after I find out what he did to you in public I cut ties with him" .
She questioned, "And how am I supposed to believe you with that?" "because I'll start proving my worthy to you starting from today" , he stated. Brian began to grovel himself in front of Prisca.
(people talking)
"What the heck is that, Is he not embarrassed about what he is doing"
Brian ignored them and carried on with what he was doing, putting his head down and gazing at the ground. Prisca grinned but said nothing.
He knelt down and put his hands together, saying, "I'm pleading with you to forgive me from the bottom of my heart. I'm sorry, I was wrong for not believing in you.
Speaking inaudibly :(We should put pride aside for five minutes. I can't screw this up. Why is this bitch not saying anything? Oh my God this is embarrassing).
Prisca was not persuaded by what Brian was doing, instead, she was simply gazing at him and folding her hands.
Brian speaking inaudible:(Oh, so she's willing to humiliate me in this way by not instructing me to get up, She is unaware of the fact that this time, I came prepared. I need to do the highlight of my show).
Brian gripped Prisca by the legs and began kissing her shoes as he looked at her with tears welling up in his eyes. "please forgive me Prisca I'm sorry" .
Prisca was astonished to learn how far Brian was prepared to go to obtain her forgiveness. While she was assisting him in standing up, she urged, "Get up now." She lightly slapped his face and stated, "that is why you shouldn't have interfered with me in the first place.
She smiled and continued, "but what you did right now was impressive so I'll forgive you." He held her hands and said, "Thank you so much for forgiving me Prisca, I'll serve you starting today so whatever you want call me."
Prisca took her hands off and began disinfecting them with the hand sanitizer she had in her school bag.
(What kind of foolishness is this, she should also sterilize her heart because it stinks.) Brain speaking inaudibly.
Prisca walked into her class and said, "Let me go, the class is about to start. Brian grins. "have a great day" . Prisca remained silent and carried on walking.
As soon as possible, Brian went to the restroom.Opened the tap and cleansed his hands and lips after.
Brian speaking in silence:(That is the most repulsive thing I've ever done in my life, what the fuck).
While washing his mouth, he suddenly felt queasy, so he went to the toilet to puke.
Speaking inaudibly: (Now that she has forgiven me, it was worth it even if my entire meal was squandered because of that b*tch. Time to move on to the next strategy. For her to accept me into her group, I need to convince her to trust me).
Prisca has a group of friends that always follow her instructions. She is so powerful among them all that they treat her like a queen and obey his orders no matter how wrong they are.
Brian arrived at his lesson and settled into a seat. When he noticed the seat that Teddy had occupied, he broke down in tears. However, he made an effort to restrain himself since he didn't want to appear to still care about his pals because that would undermine his goal.
As usual, the first periods started and finished. It was now time for the break. Because Brian used to always stay with his best friend, reality hit him hard. He never gave himself the opportunity to make new friends. He now felt like a misfit at school. "damn I miss my friend",he said as he made his way to their usual area to sit.
"Wait a moment." They will start to distrust me again if I stay there. That rich brat has eyes all over, let me just go to the library.
As he was leaving, a member of Prisca's gang approached him. Hey, the boss woman needs you, he said.
Unheard voice in the head: "Boss lady, my ass, like what? Is that girl that power-obsessed?" Brian grins. Please take me to her, he pleaded, "where is she." "Are you really so eager to join the team.
" Since the boss lady insisted that you join us, even though I don't trust you, I won't go against her decision", he said. (Their parents paid for them to attend this school to learn, and now they come here to worship a mentally ill person) , Brian says inaudibly. "why are you standing there are you not coming?" , he asked.
"I'm on my way Brian yelled, "I'm coming!" as he was running.
