Chapter 3 - What are you doing here?!

Jaxon Sung, the youngest successful principal in the whole world. He owns many schools and Gacha Innova High School is one of them. He's also a member of the 3-boy band called the Heartbreakers, Drummer, and Music Composer. I can't believe he is that successful. Agh, damn it. I thought we would be in the same boat but I got my high hopes too much!! AAAAAAAAHHH!!

"Here is your schedule, Chris. Why don't you leave first and head to class? I want to catch up with my sister." Jaxon said to Chris.

"Ah, okay. I will be heading out then" Chris replied as he bowed and quickly left the study. "How have you been, sister? You changed quite a lot that I almost didn't recognize you," Jaxon said. Easy for you to say! I barely recognize you at all!

"Oh, is that so? May I ask how are you holding up with 'mom'?" I asked as I changed the tone when I reached the word 'mom'. "That old hag never changed. But dad..." Jaxon said as he paused halfway.

"W-what. What happened to dad?" I asked as I shivered. I had a bad feeling about that topic and that I never should have mentioned about dad. Jaxon paused for a moment and then moved his head down.

"Dad. He disappeared." Jaxon said. What? Dad...disappeared? How can it be?

"How did-?" I asked as Jaxon stopped my conversation.

"That one, I don't know why. He secretly left a letter to me and the letter said that he might not be able to come back. He had work that even my mother doesn't know about. I don't even understand it back then. Ever since you ran away, things didn't go well. Mom and dad were arguing, yelling, and screaming. I overheard dad said, asking for a divorce and take me with him but mom refused and threatened him by using...me." Jaxon told me his whole story. Why. Why does he have to suffer like that? and dad too. Him divorcing mom is a good choice but he can't.

"I'm so sorry that I made you suffer like that. It's all because I ran away from home, just to escape mom's abuse..." I whimpered as tears fall out of my eyes.

"Wh- hey, don't be sad. It's not your fault. Now that I told my story, mind if you could tell me yours? It won't be fair if it's just me." Jaxon said as he smiled sadly. When I told him my story, he was shocked, angry, guilty, and pitiful.

"I can't believe that woman is the one who destroyed your career, betrayed you, and almost killed you. Not only that, you broke up with your boyfriend...It seems you suffered more than me, sis. So that's why you are with Chris. You're his bodyguard but to me, it seems that you are not on good terms on your first day of work." Jaxon said and put a crooked smile.  Is this supposed to be comfort or sarcasm? Sigh.

"If you are trying to comfort me, then don't even think about it. I know that you are really bad when it comes to women." I replied.

"That kinda hurts, you know. Anyway, back to business. What you were saying earlier was that you need to blend into the school so that it could help you and Chris to survive through his school life. Well, I have a solution to this problem. You need to become..." Jaxon said as I focused on his idea.

"I HAVE TO BE WHAT NOW?!" I shouted as my yelling pierced throughout the whole school building.

As Chris was waiting outside of his classroom for his homeroom teacher to come, I walked in, feeling enraged. Dammit, Jaxon! THIS is your solution?! I'm digging my own grave right now! Agh! Teaching is never my specialty! I might suck at it! "Hm? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stand outside at the school's main entrance?" Chris asked as he frowned at me. Do you think I want to do this?! I want to get the hell out of this place! "Do you think I have a choice? The principal assigned me as your homeroom teacher temporarily" I replied frustrated at the situation that I'm in right now. Sigh. I want to go home...

Time has passed as school is finally over. Aaaah my back.

"I can't believe that I have a second job now...tho it was only temporary. Hmm. Say, where is that bratty punk, Chris? He should be outside at the school's main gate by now..." Wait a minute. Did he ditch me? Dammit! Why else would he be missing?! Of course, he would be like that, just to make my life a living hell! Just then, I heard a voice coming from the right side of the school. It's......girl screams? Why would they be over......there? Oh. There he is. He's just fooling around with his fans, fangirls, or whatnot. Anyway, I should go there before he nags at me for who knows how long.

"Chris~ If it's alright with you, do you want to hang out with our group? We were from the same school so I thought that we might be friends." the black-haired fangirl asked in a tone from a girl screeching from the inside.

"Uhh," Chris muttered.

"Geez. You can't even handle your fans now? I thought you are some tough guy back at home but I guess you should never judge a book by its cover, huh? I said as I walked towards Chris as I make my way through a pile of girls that I care less about.

"You-! Are you mocking me?" Chris said angrily, pointing his finger at me. At least I can avoid the middle finger. I ignored his nagging and the girls' whispers, then I carried Chris like a baby although it felt kind of weird, to be honest...

"Wh-what are you doing?!" Chris shouted. Agh my eardrums!

"Calm down, will ya?! I'm trying to get you out of this flock of pigeons!" I replied as Chris's fans became shocked.

"P-pigeons?! Did this auntie just called us, pigeons?" one of the fans said angrily. A-auntie?! Am I that old to you?! Sheesh, no respect for someone who is like 5 years older than you!

"Doesn't matter whether you like it or not. I will still carry you to the car so LETS SCOOT!" I said as I quickly run to the car, carrying Chris in my arms. Little did I know that Chris became a little flustered and blushed a little as he covers his face. 'Dammit. Why does my chest stings?' Chris thought.

When we finally reached home, I laid back on the sofa. I was exhausted! "Mommy. How is your first day of work?" Kairo asked as he approached me.

"I'm fine. It's just that Mrs. Johnson's son turned out to be a brat than a scaredy-cat! That aside, have you worked on your kung fu?" I asked as I turned to Kairo.

"Uhhh I have been having too much fun with Auntie Eve," Kairo muttered as he tries to glance somewhere else to avoid eye contact. This guy-! Sigh. I can't stop him. He's still a child so he needs to have some fun as one, like the other kids, except at school. I cant send him there or else his identity will be exposed then we have to run again. Kairo doesn't want that and neither do I so it's best for him to not go to school at all...

"Mommy, how are we going to find Dad?" Kairo asked. Eh? What kind of question is that?

"Why do you wanna know? Where did you get this kind of question?" I asked as I pinched his cheeks.

"Mmm. I was thinking that you should get me a new daddy. You have been working hard too much." Kairo replied. Uhm is he even 5 years old? This little-

"Your Mommy is gonna go visit your Uncle Jaxon since I don't even have any business here," I said as I get ready to leave the house.

"Why can't I go?" Kairo asked.

"You......go work at the pillar" I smirked as I quickly left the house. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN SON?! Mommy, come back!!" Kairo yelled as he chased after me but failed to do so.

At Jaxon's house.

"It's good to see you again, sister! I hope we can catch up on our 10 years of separation" Jaxon said happily as soon as he saw me.

"Do you think that you can get away with what you did earlier??" I asked as I was cracking my fists, getting ready to beat my brother.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT!! I'm sorry! Pls, don't beat me!" Jaxon replied in a panic.

"Sorry is not gonna fix anything!! Come back here!" I yelled as I started chasing him around the house.

Just then, someone came into the house without us knowing and said "Jaxon, I'm back from work. What are you doing right n-"

And without notice, Jaxon slide underneath him and hid. As I continue running, I accidentally bumped into him and fell on top of him. Great. Just great. I'll just go and apologize first.

"Sorry. I didn't see you there. I hope I didn't hurt you anywhere!" I apologized.

"Wha- Astra? Is that you?" the man said, surprised. Huh? How does he know my name? When I opened my eyes to take a look. I was shocked. What the-?!

"What are you doing here?!" I said in an angry tone.
