Chapter Fifty-eight
Maxine’s Point of View
It’s been a week since Carmona started torturing me with her orders. There was never a day that I could not receive an order from her, one day she even went to my classroom just to order me. Gosh, she’s annoying, really! I really want to complain but I couldn’t because I don’t want to experience what happened in the past. But, I can’t take this anymore as well. Sigh… I don’t want to go to school anymore. When I thought that my life in school will be quiet, that’s when Carmona appeared. When will my student life be quiet?
“Gosh, you’re so slow.” Jelly complained, the one with a thick eyebrows like leech.
“Tch, can’t you run faster? Are you planning to starve us to death?” Lacy looked at me with the disgusts on her face. She’s the one with a thick lips.
Who the heck told you to eat in the garden in the first place? Gosh, so frustrating. If only I could just pull her hair, I really would!
Carmona heaved a sigh, “That’s enough, guys,” then she turned to me, “You can go now.”
I turned my back and walked away immediately. Gosh, I’m hungry. How long shall I serve them? It’s so tiring!
“Maxine!” A familiar voice called my name.
I turned to my left and saw Troy walking towards me. I smiled and waved my hand. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we walked together.
“Did you eat yet?” I asked.
He shook his head, “Not yet. What about you?”
“I’m just going to the cafeteria to eat,” I answered.
“Then, let’s eat together.” He turned his head to me and smiled.
“Okay,” I responded.
When we got to the cafeteria, he looked for a seat immediately. He made me sit first before he went to the counter to order food for the two of us. Later on, he returned with a food tray. He sat down in front of me and after arranging the food on the table, we ate.
“How are you, by the way? Just now we met again, didn’t you miss me?” He chuckled.
I giggled, “I’m fine. How about you? How have you been these days?”
“Woah,” he scoffed, “You really ignored the ‘miss me’ part, huh?”
I chuckled, “Stop joking around and just answer my question.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
He shrugged, “Well, I’m doing fine too. Just a bit busy because we often have training.”
My brows arched, “Training?”
“Yup,” he nodded, “We have a soccer match on Wednesday. Guess who our opponent is?”
I pouted, “How can I predict, I don’t know much here at school.”
The only ones I know here are the women who bully me, him and the five monkeys. Gosh.
He chuckled, “Alyn’s team is our opponent on Wednesday.”
I was about to eat the food on my spoon when my hand stopped after hearing what Troy said. Did I hear it right?
“Come again?”
He took a deep breath, “I said, our opponent on Wednesday is Alyn’s team.”
I blinked three times, “What? Shouldn’t you be on the same side because you only attend the same school?”
“Hmm… whoever is the winning team, that will fight in different schools.” He smiled.
“Oh,” I nodded, “Goodluck. You can do it!”
He laughed, “Can you watch our match?”
“Huh?”
“Here,” he put a small piece of paper on the table, when I picked it up I just noticed that it was a ticket. “If you are free on that day, you can use this ticket to watch.”
“Sure,” I smiled and keep the ticket.
“I will expect you. Shout my name out loud, okay?” I did not answer, we just laughed together at what he said.

[Break time ended]
Gosh, I’m full. I feel a little better now because of Troy. I hope I won’t meet Carmona back in the classroom, I’m alone now because Troy and I parted the path right after dinner because they had training.
“Nanny~”
Damn, that nickname! I rather heard my nicknames from the five monkeys, rather than hearing that ‘nanny’ nickname. And who are they to call me that? They don’t even pay me. Can’t they leave me for just one day? Goodness!
Jelly wrapped her arm to my shoulder, “Carmona has something to say to you.”
“What is it?” I asked, then we walked towards Carmona who’s with Lacy. They are resting their back to the wall while their arms were crossed over their chest.
Gosh, what is it this time?
“Nanny, can you give this to Alyn?” She stood properly and I was surprised when I received a slap from her.
I faced in the left direction because of the force of her slap. I caressed my right cheek while slowly turned to Carmona.
“What was that for?” I asked. The heck is wrong with her?
“You said, Alyn accepted my gift and he liked it. But, when I talked to him, he said he threw it all!” She screamed.
Gosh, I was caught.
“You shouldn’t lie, Nanny. You know, that’s bad.” Lacy shrugged.
Jelly suddenly pulled my hair that made me bent my neck backwards, “Oh, my… my hand acted on it’s own. Sorry?”
My brows furrowed. I withdrew my hair from her grip by force, “I don’t know what you are talking about. If you have nothing to say, I will go back to my room.”
Of course, I lied. If I admit my fault, they might torture me.
“You really choose to lie, huh?” Carmona smirked, “Hold her.”
Jelly and Lacy moved quickly. They grabbed my both arms. Fuck. I can’t… I can’t get out of their grip!
“You fucking liar!” She shouted and slapped me over and over again.
“S-Stop! Stop it!” I shouted while receiving her nonstop slap.
For fuck’s sake, it hurts! I can even taste my blood now. Oh, gosh. How many more times does she plan to slap me just for a lie I told?
“The heck you’re doing with her?”
Carmona’s hand stopped in the air and was looked stunned when he looked at the man who spoke.
“G-Get your hands off her.” Carmona commanded, and so Jelly and Lacy let go of me.
I turned around and that’s when I saw Alyn standing sideways while his hands were inside his pocket.
“A-Alyn,” Carmona walked towards Alyn but stopped right away when Alyn gestured her.
“Don’t come near me,” he said to Carmona before he looked at me, “What are you doing there, Ugly? Come here.”
Carmona, Jelly and Lacy turned to me. I just ignored them and walked towards Alyn. When I approached him I immediately hid behind him.
“Alyn, l-let me explain,” Carmona pleaded.
“Huh?” Alyn tilted his head, “Why would I listen to your explanation?” Then he turned to me and held my hand, “I want to listen to her, not yours.”
“Why? She’s just a nanny!” Jelly talked back.
I looked at Alyn. His brows arched, “What? Nanny?” He scoffed, “I hope you haven’t gone mad.”
The three idiots looked confused, “What do you mean?” Lacy asked.
“She-”
I spoke even before Alyn could talk, “I-I’m their cousin!”
Their eyes widened. Alyn looked at me with his “what-the-heck-are-you-saying” look. I just averted my eyes to avoid his gaze. Gosh, there’s no turning back.
“I don’t care if she’s your cousin or what, I won’t apologize because she lied to me,” Carmona said. “But, what am I to you, Alyn? We kissed and you said you enjoyed it!”
*gulp
That kissed she’s talking about was the time I caught them, right?
“You’re going crazy because of that mere kiss?” Alyn smirked, “Yeah, I said I enjoyed it but that kiss was just nothing to me and so are you. I can kiss whoever I want, all of you are just my plaything. There’s nothing to be serious about.”
What? So, he just think of me as he plaything as well? Hah, what am I expecting, anyway? Jerk is always be a jerk.
I withdrew my hand from his grip and without saying anything, I ran away from them.
