"***My goodness! Such a rude person! Ugh!" I lashed out after a man suddenly bumped into me. I Walked back into my car to fix my clothes, there were several hints of splash of coffee in my Blazer. "Damn it!" I shouted.

I drove into a nearest CHANEL STORE , it was only three blocks away from where I was so I decided to just bought a new one.

I only had one extra blazer's with me just in case, I picked up the extra blazer from the shotgun seat. "WHAT THE ****?!" I let go of the blazer, it fucking smelled like a leak of alcohol.

"WHAT THE **** DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!" I shouted in Disbelief. I took out the Extra Blazer out of my car while pinching my nose so I wouldn't smell it.

I ran to a nearest trashbin, I then threw my extra blazer that smelled a leak of alcohol into the bin immediately, I suddenly ran towards my car and immediately close it because people are starting to look at me.

"Zephyr Calm down..it's a friendly day today" I started my car then drove off.

"What are the purpose of pagodas? The pagoda's original purpose was to house relics and sacred writings. This purpose was popularized due to the efforts of Buddhist missionaries, pilgrims, rulers, and ordinary devotees to seek out, distribute, and extol Buddhist relics." I lectured." So, Mr. Sulivan. Why is the Pagoda built in the first place? " I asked the student.

"The pagoda structure derives from that of the stupa, a hemispherical, domed, commemorative monument first constructed in ancient India. Initially, these structures symbolized sacred mountains, and they were used to house relics or remains of saints and kings " Sulivan the student answered with confidence.

"Job well done! Sulivan."

The bell rang then after. I tidy up my stuff and turn of the monitor projector after my lecture.

I am a Professor teaching history with a Master's Degree in Ancient History at State Castallion University. I have been teaching for 3 years now and I am delighted to be so.

Teaching was a just a disguised of mine. I needed a Profession that could interest me. I love History, My Father and I always had time to talk about History. We Loved History more than anything.

All those Years of Friendship, Love, Constant Failures at College,Revenge Heartbreaks and The downfall of my family, destroyed and created as what I am today.

I am contented with my present self today. The day when my family was dragged to the mud, our house on ruins. My Sibling's bathed in blood, My parents with a hole upon their foreheads, was burned in my mind for all these years.

I vowed to take Revenge for the destroying My Family.

I asked myself, what did my family do to deserve this?, My father was a Professor, My mother was a Painter. I was Seven and My siblings were newborns.

We were just an average family living in a house fit only for us four. A place where people can't find easily.

We were just a family who is just leaving peacefully.

So why is it, that they died infront of me?

Those questions filled my thoughts to the brim.

but then, an regretful encounter that shouldn't had happend in my life.

Two years ago...

I was taking pictures of the pagoda with my Film Camera when a downpours of rain appeared.

"AGH!" I slipped unto the stairs while climbing it. It was too slippery and the stairs was also too steep.

I collected myself to stand up, when a Man suddenly held my elbow.

"Excuse do you need me to assist you?" He asked.

I didn't think much and just accepted it just like that. It is raining and I don't have time to refuse someone's help in this weather.

I am lucky enough that there was someone to offer help. My Knees were already bruised and a small leak blood came from the scratch that it made it much worse.

He covered us with a jacket came from him as we rushed towards the pagoda.

"I don't think this rain will stop". He told me "Can I take a look at your bruised?" He asked.

I looked at my bruised that I got from slipping earlier. "Yes, Sure you can". I gave him permission.

He kneeled infront of me to take a good look of my bruised. "There's blood leaking, We need to treat this fast or else it'll get worse if it doesn't." He suddenly then searched in his pockets to get something, It was a handkerchief.

He first cleaned up the blood, then wrapped the handkerchief to my knees.

I was mesmerized by he just did, I never expected for my life to encounter a situation like this ever since a tragic incident happend to me.

I was dazzled by his actions towards me, he was gentle and careful. And his hands were so beautiful for a man to wrapped around a handkerchief to a woman's knees.

What kind of thoughts that just lingers in my head?, Duh! It is normal for a gentleman to help a Lady in need right? What a delulu Zephyr.

He stood up. "It is done. just don't touch it often. it could get worse if it happens." He spoked with a Calm and Soothing Voice.

He was so Good Looking. Monolid eyes with the color of Amber. Groomed brows.

Straight Nose. Defined Lips. His well defined jaws complemented his face a lot.

He was very pleasing to my eyes, it's as if I was looking an Rare Ancient Artifact in a Museum.

"Miss?" He looked at me with him tilting its head.

"Ah Yes! , thanks for helping me." I replied back.

Constant downpours of rain filled the silence, as thunder comes in, our heartbeats in sync. as the sound of rain bangles the pagoda.

"hey, what made you come here visit the pagoda? I asked to break the silence of the two of us. "to take photos just like you" He pointed out the Film camera that was in my neck hanging.

"same interest we have huh?" I replied back with a small smile. "and what about you? What made you come here?" He asked me back with a curiosity in his face.

"oh, this is one the places my father wanted to go ever since. It's just that he is currently resting... at home" i answered with a hint of smile in my face.

" it must've been nice to go in a destination with a purpose and a reason" he told.

I chuckled, I glanced at him to take a glimpse on his face. His face wet hair made my cheek turning hot red potatoes.

He glanced to take a look at me suddenly turning red. I was hot and sweating, i couldn't calm myself down. He leaned himself to take a glimpse at me, "are you having a fever? Your face. Seems hot." he asked concerned.

I didn't answer. I was shy as ****! He was too much to handle to me. While I was feeling myslef hot. Out of nowhere, a jacket was wrapped around me.

"I think you needed it to cover up. You're similar to a trembling puppy".

What? Similar to a what? A Puppy? Who Me?

"I'm sorry?, did you just say I'm a what? Similar to a trembling puppy?" I asked with disbelief.

He chuckled. "No, what I'm trying to say is that you're expression is like an little puppy lost in a park and got drenched by the rain." he clarified.

What's up with this man point of view?. my impression of him suddenly changed. it's almost as if he was making fun of me.

" what a weird way to say that. " i replied.

His lips rosed and turn around to look out to the sorroundings, suddenly he. "I'm Reid Sone Lee" introduced.

"Zephyr Haz Vien" i introduced back. we talked several such as interests and hobbies. That time, was something I realized that I shouldn't have just encounter him there. The son of the Man who Killed My Family and burned down our house to Ashes***.

*Ring... RING... RING*

*RING... stops*

"Ugh, Monday's." I rolled back unto my bed after I turned off the damn alarm. "These damn nightmares never stop." "Get over it Zephyr!" I then quickly stood up then went to shower.

I'm Zephyr Haz Vien, 16 year's old, and a Sophomore at Eastmore International School.

and If everyone is wondering on how I have lived for these years?. Uncle Wade, My Dad's Former Guard and Childhoodfriend, He rescued me after the incident and raised me as like his own. He has One Son, Kodi. He and I have same age and school, and yes we we're raised like twins. Kodi is a Nice person and kind brother...

Brother...

"HEY! CHEESECAKE IT'S MONDAY AND YOU KNOW WHAT MONDAY'S RIGHT? IT'S HELL DAY!" Kodi shouted talking to obviously to me coming from downstairs. "This Punk!" Uncle wade smack him hard that I can hear it Upstairs.

I went downstairs to eat breakfast with Uncle wayde and kodi, it was a usual breakfast and we just talk about what's gonna happen at school.

I stood up to get back bag then went out. "Uncle wayde we're going." I declared. "Bye Old Man!" Kodi shouted then closed the door, We just walk to go to school because it was only 7 minutes away and it is kinda nice to walk in the early fresh morning.

"Hey Cheescake did you put mango slices to my lunchbox?" He asked while rumagging his bag. "Yeah, only 1/4 though."I replied, He stopped. "Hey! are you in your period?" He asked with a disbelief face. "That was for last time Mangobutt" Mangobutt was my nickname for him.

"It was an accident last time! Move on from it Cheescake!." He suddenly make a face. As we walk through under the bright skies and as the wind delivers our conversation, My Life starts now.

"Why is intersectionality considered an essential aspect of modern feminism?" Mrs. Kim asks." Ms. Vien" Mrs Kim points out.

" Intersectional feminism centres the voices of those experiencing overlapping, concurrent forms of oppression in order to understand the depths of the inequalities and the relationships among them in any given context." I replied back.

"What a wonderful speech right there Ms. Vien." Mrs. Kim said with amazement. *Bell Rings*

"Okay folks don't forget the deadline for tomorrow's upcoming foundation day!" Mrs. Kim declared.

I went out then moved for the next class, history class was my ultimate peeve. I loved attending history class more than anyone and no one can stop me from doing so.

I was twice the representative for my school's International History Search Contest, Every year My name was always on the list whenever a topic of history was in it. I couldn't help to just refuse not because I don't like it. I love history and everyone including the teachers knew, because I was always included in the history student representative.

I don't brag it to almost everyone because not everyone know's me at school and I barely made friends with everyone. I couldn't socialized with everyone so easily because my Introverted self cannot handle it, having fewer friends in my life is already enough for me. A friend's that respect's you, respect's your place, and friend's that know you more than yourself.

Kodi was my first ever friend, He was there together with me growing up to each other's laughter, jokes and comforts. He was also there with me reading history books even though he has no damn clue on what's about it just so he can spend time with me.

I realized that you have to...

Cherish the first in your life so that you wouldn't regret it after, grow to each other's advices and comfort. Don't take them for granted, not everyone in your life can stay, give love and love them well.

Family, History and Kodi... They' are my lights.

The light that shines myself to thrive better.

"Class dismissed." Mr. Juarez announced.

I stood up to grab myself a food from the cafeteria when a familiar face comes in.

"Hola! Cefiro!" shouted.

Anita Beatriz Susana, Full-blooded Spanish extroverted friend of mine. Athletic team varsity player and lover of Mathematics.

"Cefiro! mi mamá te hizo una lonchera!" Suddenly declared in her language.

"Dile a la tia que no tenia que hacerlo siempre pero gracias." I replied back.

"How's history going on today cefiro?." She asked while munching her sandwich.

"It was Renaissance today Plus... Cedrik got detention " I replied.

She choked from her sandwich. "Cedrik went what?!" While drinking the water that I gave her.

"He was being extra as damn and that made the teacher furious for what he did." I replied while drinking water.

"Ha! ¡Le sirve apropiadamente!" she declared while slamming the table.

"Anita." I calmed her

"So about the thing that I told you? Did you already ask Uncle wade about it?" She asked.

"I haven't talk about it to him earlier, I'll just chat you later." I replied while tidying up my lunchbox.

"Alright, but don't make it longer! It'll be in a few days!" She pouted.

"Alright, Jeez." I stood up after.

In the afternoon class there were only Mathematics and Biology class school end's after.

"Hey Cheescake! Let's go to the nearest new bowling alley!" He asked while exiting the schoolgate.

It was around 4pm when class ended so we decided to go since it's pretty early.

I just accepted it since I needed it also to spend time with kodi.

We went to the new opened bowling alley near the school it was only a few blocks and maybe 7 minutes walk from school, and a crosswalk too.

We arrived there with kodi then payed, The place was clean and there were numerous of decorations in the lobby. We sat down when we found a place then started to warm up.

Kodi went first then Me after, it was enjoyable and relieving to the body. We sat down after several rounds, Kodi ordered snacks and me sipping water.

The snacks that kodi ordered arrived and we chilled for some time, When something that caughts our attention.

*Goal! PERFECT SHOT! *

Kodi and I were surprised, I took a glanced on who was it that did that. It was a guy with a clean and tidy hairstyle with a bottoned uniform and slacks.

He was tall and he seems to have a well define proportioned body.

"Nice one Lee!" a guy from his place shouted while clapping.

I turned around and ate my food and just forget about what just happened because it wasn't that surprising.

"What the hell? That hurts my pride as a man!" Kodi with a disbelief face.

"Just ignore it. It you try doing that it'll hurt you're pride even more plus a huge humiliation for me Kodi." I adviced him.

"hmph! Show off" I took a glimpse of him when suddenly our eyes met.

I quickly avoided then just sip water then ignored what just happened.

Kodi and I went back around at 6pm at night, went upstairs to change then went downstairs to prepare dinner.

I was in charge for the cooking while Kodi's in charge for plating and sometimes assisting me, the two of us has own responsibilities and chores at home. We didn't have much problem preparing dinner everyday since there are only three of us, it was never hard for us to work it out.

The dinner went smoothly and I decided to brought up the thing that Anita told me about.

"Uncle wayde, can I go to Anita's 17th Birthday to be held in Wednesday?" I asked.

"Sure you can. You can bring kodi together with you." He replied while picking his food.

"Thanks Uncle Wayde."

I went upstairs then sat unto my bed, I picked up my phone then chatted Anita to Instaxgram.

:Anita, I got permission.

Moments later she replied.

From Anita: Damn Yeah! Te quiero más que a nada! Wait! I heard news!!! It's about for tomorrow's school foundation! There will be students from different schools visiting!!!!

I immediately knew on where she heard it. She was also the School's Class President. She also the reason why I knew several Bad news and Good news coming from her.

:Oh, I thought you were gonna say something related to history.

I replied.

From Anita: What the hell? Why would I brought up a boring history topic here? You history nerd.

:lol heard coming from a mathematical maniac

I turned off my phone then went to sleep.

Another day Passed by,

Another Day begins.
