He stood up from his seat and handing us the results during the entrance exam. There were a total of a 100 items in the exam sheet including the problem solving, essays and multiple choices. As soon as I searched and saw my name and my score, my heart immediately dropped in shock to the point I'm shaking. How can this be.. I'm really at the 2nd Place..
The score I got in the exam was 99 points due to the wrong solving I did at the 3rd problem solving, meanwhile Lucas and Sevastyan got a 100 points. My body went pale in shock. Me..? Lee Jaehwi, the straight top 1 student in Lucian every since Grade School and Middle School. My eyes widen in shock and bewilderment. This has never happened before, not to me. To think I'd be cut off from my 8th year straight of being a 1st placer here in Lucian by some transferee..? An rush of fear struck into me..
"Di-Did Father perhaps already saw the results in the ranking, Grandpa..?" I asked stuttering, hoping deep in my heart that he still hasn't even though the situation won't change since my parents are bound to know about it anyway.. Grandpa looks at me with a guilty look, they already saw it..
Crap what do I do.. I've finally managed to escape from the main house and live by myself in my own house but now that I've struck down to the 2nd place in the ranking. They'll summon me back to the house sooner or later and I can't let that fucking happen. There's no way in hell I would go back and suffer from all of those shit. I gnawed on the nail of my thumb as my leg shakes nervously.
"In what way does this concern me Headmaster..? I do not care about my rank in the entrance exam for I have already seen it back on the first day." Lucas raised his hand asking a question, I glanced at him with a confused look and thought. Right, it slipped out of my mind since I was too focused on seeing the results. Why is Lucas also here anyway, when Grandpa himself can show the results to me after class.
"I'm pretty sure you know what you're here Lucas Goettems.." Grandpa glanced at him with a cunning smile, clearly plotting something. Lucas then went silent and glaced at me. Yesterday, he was about to get scolded right but he escaped using me as an escape goat and persistently insisting on carrying me towards the infirmary and stayed there until my friends arrived.
"To repent on both the ruckus and thing you've did and violated. I called you here to ask you a favor, and it's not really a favor but more of a blackmail." Grandpa smiled mischievously. I got a really bad feeling about this... "You two should work together to run as the new student council's President and Vice-President !" I smiled brightly.
"WHAT!" Both of us shouted and stood up from our seats at the same time in utter surprise.
"Headmaster! That's unreasonable how is it that you want us to lead the student council out of all reliable student out there!.." Lucas quickly rebutted Grandpa's words with slight hesitation and seriousness. This is guy.. Isn't he indirectly saying that I'm unreliable with those sentence...? I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "That's right Grandpa, I understand about how you chose me but I don't understand about this freak here!." I shouted and Lucas then showed a shocked and irritated look.
"Now, now boys settle down." Grandpa said leaning infront of his desk. "The reason why I chose the two of you to run as the student council's President and Vice-President, is because I saw that the two of you are diligent in both of your works in your own way. As well as perfect leadership that can lead the whole students here in Lucian with pride."
Lucas still voiced out his complains "I get what you are trying to say Headmaster but—" I cut him off. "I don't like this bastard even a bit here Grandpa, and for sure I know that you're already aware of that.." I shout desperately. There's no way I'd be lumped in together with this bastard here..
Lucas scoffed pissed off. "You're not the only one who dislikes this Gabriel." He said smiling trying to calm himself but his pissed off look is written all over his face. "Shut up, asshole. I didn't ask for your opinion." I bluntly replied, crossing my arms.
"Sit down." Grandpa said intimidatingly which immediately made us sit back into our seats out of fear. "I'm sure you also don't want your father to know about you skipping classes every lessons now do you, Lucas..?" He threatens him and then his head turned towards me, I gulped nervously. "You don't want to go back right..? This is the perfect chance for you to use." He said with a sigh.
I didn't quite get it at first but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. If I'd be running for the student council by Grandpa's orders I'd be very busy to the point I need to go to school often which is quite advantageous in living in my house since it's near and Father and Mother had no right to refuse or decline since it's under Grandpa's orders. A win is still a win.
"We'll do it.!" I shout enthusiastically as I grabbed Lucas's arm and raised it up with mine. He then shook off my arm saying. "Hey! what the heck are you suddenly deciding on your own!." however it was too late since Grandpa already settled upon it, and technically by settled upon it is that we can never change our mind last minute due to the blackmail he has to us.
"This is all your fault!" I nudged his arm with an annoyed tone as we were now walking in the hallway back to our classroom. "How is it my fault when you were the one who wanted to see the results and dragged me into your mess just because you don't want to believe you lost." I became irked and slammed my hands on the wall beside his head, palm pressed flat against the solid wall. The sudden noise made him flinch his body froze and his face confused. "You really know how to run out your mouth everywhere do you..? I wonder if I tore your mouth off your face would you still be able to spout bullshits..?" I threatened him once again, he stayed silent just staring at me. I clicked my tongue and left him there as I continue to walk towards the classroom.
But little did Gabriel and Lucas know, the door beside the wall was the infirmary that Yelizaveta and Lucas's other friend Isaac was staying after playing a couple of badminton and got a scratch on his leg. By the time they were about to leave the infirmary they suddenly stopped from their tracks from the noise of Gabriel's sudden attack on Lucas. Not only that they heard all of it but saw the whole thing happening through the small gap on the slightly opened door beside the boys.
"What the actual fuck did I just fucking see right now.." Isaac said having difficulty to process things about what he should feel in what he saw his friend getting hit-on(?) by a famous student. "Beats me.." Yelizaveta replied as a huge smile growing on her lips and a nosebleed running down from her nose, Isaac immediately panicked as soon as he saw the blood and tries to find some tissues in the nearby racks. Was that what you call BL fan service kabedon right..? Yelizaveta thought, she is a die hard fujoshi. Isaac finally saw some tissues on the rack and quickly wiping the blood on her face in panic.
