Finding a job

...Narrator pov........

another group of people came into the house of Brent, so they decided to ran away.

At this point, no matter how strong they are, with the arrival of another group of people, of course they will not be able to hold their own against them, especially now that they are fully armed with knives and other sharp weapons.

He saw that terrifying scene and thought that if he did not get out of there quickly, then he would become a ghost in no time.

"Let's go!" he yelled with his two friends. The two were just looking at him and each seemed to know the plan to escape.

"How can we, when we are surrounded?" Jess respond while fighting the remaining person.

"Follow me." Brent pulled his arm and dragged him into the kitchen, to the alternative rear exit of the house

"Where are we going?" said jess, while Bernard is already gone, only the two of them will remain.

He did not say anything because all his thinking right now is to escape from the trouble. This is because he realized that the real cause of this chaos was him.

Sometimes, helping others who are not related to you is always giving you a trouble in the future comes.

He remembered that yesterday, he saw the rich kid bullied by the group of people who he never met before, but out of pity he helped him, and now, he's the one chasing by those people whom he knockout.

"Brent!! This way!!" Bernard shouted, he saw that Bernard is already inside the car and ready to go, so he quickly run into the car. In that way, they'll scape from them.

Meanwhile,,, after they escape,,, they immediately headed to Bernard's house

"Hi Brent....!!!! ” A high pitched voice is a sign that jewel is behind the closed door

" here comes the 'bebe'..... " shouted jess when hearing jewel's voice, he only teasing him. Brent only shrugged at him

The door is open without anyone is opened it.

Here comes jewel, the girl with a beauty and cheerful heart. Hihi... She's ugly but never mind, because she loves herself. She thinks she's the most beautiful girl in town.

“Hi jewel.” Bernard said politely when seeing her while Jess only looked at her and smile with appreciation.

“ Hi guys, I have some food with me, I found out that you are coming so I went immediately to give you food, I know you're hungry from the trip especially Brent my love" she said but Brent didn't pay attention to it. He only played with his cellphone.

“I’m good.” jess said while sitting on the couch next to Brent.

"what's wrong Brent, why so many bruises on your face " she ask...as if she's worried. But Brent only keep distance from her

"nothing.." he answered.

Jewel is only preparing the food because Brent is not interested of her presence.

"my Brent... Are you sure you don't want to eat, I'll throw it out to the trashcan " she said in seductive way. But Brent ignored her

Even though, he is far from the dish, he manage to recognize the food. It was an adobo with too much soy sauce and the pancit canton with too much seasoning but he ignored it.... beside it only Purchased from the carinderia ni aling losing,

"It's me.... It's me... I'm the one who hungry, I'll eat you.. I'll eat you... I mean your food so don't waste it, right brother Brent??" said Bernard.

"yeah right.." he answered but the truth is, he had no idea what they were talking.

"my Brent... Do you want me to feed you" jewel said with no strength.

"no thanks" he answered.

"fine!! I'll go now" she said with disappointed

"okay bye" he said with no regrets.

He just stared the girl's back when walk away, as if he had a grudge of her

Jewel is Kenneth's girlfriend, his ultimate rival in town. So he didn't want another trouble at all. (jewel is another story, so don't bother)

"tss!!! This boring life of mine, i wonder if when it's end" he said, but Jess only punch him a little in his head.

"Ouch!!! It hurts!! “ he mumbled. He looked to jess but only an irritated smile he gets.

" don't you ever said those words again or else i will knock you down " he warned.

Jess saw Brent in a deeply thought.

" Hey" his voice, make him stop thinking.

"stop thinking, tomorrow, I'll bring you to the restaurant 🍴 where I am working.." he said

"don't you know what's the food she serve??" Jess said while pointing out the dish on the table

"tss... It was adobo with too much soy sauce and the pancit canton with so much seasoning" he answered without even thinking.

Jess only smile.

"what..." Brent stared him

"oh... Its nothing," he said, trying to change the mood of place.

"why don't you work as a chef, I'm sure you're a good fit of it and talking about food gives you a good vibes" he suggested .

"nah!! That's not gonna happen anymore, I'm already quit those dream job of mine, it's useless now that grandma is not here anymore" he said in boring expression.

"but..." jess
