Not a Fairy Tale

Chapter 001 - 1 - First Quarter

People said that everything would start in high school. You would have first love, sweetheart, or merely something like that. As for me, not really. After all, I did not want it. I didn't know why, but I never really liked love life.

No offense, but it disgusted me when I had seen couples doing public display of attention. Like seriously, get a room, just please! I'm not bitter, absolutely not. I knew several people, might it be a girl or a boy, that were deceitful. I knew that it was only normal so why would I be bitter? I also knew several ones that were still in a relationship until now. I just really didn't want a love life for now, that was it. Just imagining myself kissing someone gave me creeps!

So what was I fighting for?

"MOMMY! I'D POOP ANY SECOND NOW!"

I had been holding this in since earlier, that I had said everything. Blame it on my mom, she was so long at the restroom. She was there since earlier and I had also been here, knocking and shouting! If I knew, she had been only reading inside. How did I know? That was what I also do. Haha!

After mom got out, the place smelled really bad! Even if she sprayed refreshener, it was still smelly!

"IT STINKS!" I complained while covering my nose using my hands.

"You are only smelling, yet you still dare to complain!" Mom said and after eating and pooping, would immediately eat again while using laptop. She seemed like a teenager! She also worked at home so I was guarded closely, while my dad worked at a bank. He was an accountant. By the way, the reason why I was still at home even though it was Monday was because my classes were only half day.

"But mom, yours is different... It smelled like a dead rat!"

"Oh, what a child you are!" She would've hit me with slippers only that I immediately went inside the restroom.

I also sat on the throne and read a book. Yup, beside the bowl, were where my books were. After withdrawing my grudges on the throne, I took a bath then changed into my uniform.

After I got out of the house, I saw Aunt Rylie fixing her things and Sir Robin, their driver, readying to leave. I don't know, but Aunt Ry was always in a hurry. Maybe it was because of her work. Right, I hadn't told you, we lived in a townhouse so the houses were really near each other.

"Hi, Zeah! Going to school?"

"Yes, Auntie." I smiled.

"Is that it? Come with us then. We'll accompany Tyrone to LRT Station[1]. You're in the same school, right? Hop on!" She smiled.

Aunt Rylie was really pretty and didn't look like a mom! She looked young no matter what happened. "Alright. Thank you!" Yes. I am truly shameless.

Compared to us, Aunt Rylie and Uncle Tyler were way richer than us. Aunt Ry had graduated marketing from a good school and now, she was a doctor. I didn't know what the connection was between marketing and doctor but if that's what she liked, then all was good! All I know was that, after she had graduated marketing in a prestigious university, she realized that she wanted to be a doctor so she studied again, while Uncle Tyler was a lawyer.

How could they not be rich, right? Maybe that was the reason why their son was spoiled. I didn't know, they were both nice and good looking, however, whatever happened to their son was unknown. Well, he had the looks but he was not really nice.
