"Really? You almost killed my son, you brat. What did my son do to you huh?! Tell me!" I closed my eyes when the fastest rapper in the world spoke again. MJ’s mother is louder than him.

. "Can you lower your voice? I hate people who have loud and big mouths," I answered her. Aeiou's grip on my arm tightened.

"Eerrah!" The dean scolded me. I rolled my eyes because of that. They didn’t even make sure if I was the one who started the fight. I’m just trying to stop this guy from bullying someone!

"See?! See how rude that girl’s mouth is! Didn't your father teach you the right manners?!"MJ's mother shouted again.

I mocked her inside my mind. Didn't your father teach you to be quiet for a while?"You don't have the right to insult my daughter, miss." My eyes widened when I saw dad at the door. I came back to senses when he sat down beside me. I wanted to cry in happiness because I had a chance to see him again. He smiled sweetly at me. This man! I miss him so much!

"Excuse me? First of all, your daughter tried to kill my son--"

Daddy chuckled. “Calm down, miss. It’s good that he’s not dead yet. Just calm down, you’re too mad."I laughed at my father's stupidity. I saw how MJ's mother and even the dean gasped in shock.

"Wow. Now look, where else will a breedless woman inherit--"

"It's not necessary, miss. My daughter is not a freaking dog in the first place. And I’m sure that my daughter won’t cause any trouble unless someone starts it. Be thankful that I didn’t bring my gun here before I even shoot you," dad answered while flashing a sweet smile.

The woman’s face paled. I simply tap dad’s shoulder. "Just kidding, you're taking it seriously," he added.

“Mr. Ferrer. We just want to tell you that Eerrahhas many records throughout the year. And we don't tolerate that kind of attitude. Eerrah's grandfather begged us to kick her out of this school as well.” I was shocked by what the dean said. My grandfather wanted to kick me out? As if he never begged the teachers to make sure that I’ll graduate here.

"My father? And you actually believe in that old man? You moron.You have your own brain to decide whatever’s good for my daughter. The hell with that fucking old man and he has the power to control you?!" I saw daddy's neck turn red because of anger. I held his shoulder to calm him down.

"We're sorry, sir. But it’s the only way to control your daughter. We can’t handle her anymore--"

"Really? That's why when my father forced you not to let Eerrah go, you did it, and now that he's forcing you to kick my daughter out, you're going to do it also? Stop giving me some reasons to justify your greed! The hell with you!" I was shocked by daddy's sudden swearing. The dean also got up from his seat. I quickly pulled my dad out of the office before he could even harm someone.

"Dad! You don’t have to swear at them!” I told him.

“They’re testing my patience, Eerrah! Those are a bunch of people who kept on begging for money! They can’t even decide on their own!” he defended himself.

"Really? Do you have patience?” I mocked him. He chuckled before he shook his head.

"I have no patience, of course. But they’re really getting on my nerves! I don't know how much money dad paid them. They’re like a group of dogs waiting for their owner to let them eat. I hate those kinds of people,” he added.

"You shouldn't get yourself involved in this mess I created," I said worriedly, he just shook his head.

“I need to defend you! I am your father for goodness sake! And didn’t you see that dean’s face? He turned pale—“

"Dad enough," I scolded before turning my back on Aeiou who’s next to me.

"Eerrah, I'll go first," Aeiou said shyly. I just nodded at her. Daddy smiled broadly at me after Aeiou left.

"What now, dad?" I asked him to change the subject.

"I have no choice, daughter, but I think I need to find a new school for you. It's not that easy for you to move because you have a lot of records. Why did you inherit being a troublemaker from me? But anyway, I'll do my best to find a school as soon as possible." I nodded and smiled at him. He’s really the best!

“DADDY!Why did you bring that woman with us? As far as I know, I was the only one expelled from the school and she was not with me,”I said irritably before pointing at Aeiou who’s now upset with what I did.. Is she really the one who's upset while I'm the one who doesn't know what's going on? I’m confused about what's happening right now! I’m almost losing my sanity.

We’re in front of my apartment right now. Daddy said he will take me now to the school he is referring to. Empires High. That’s the name of the school and I’m not familiar with it. Though I heard it from… Caliber?

Heck! Is this some sort of coincidence?

"Because I'm with you, it's as simple as that Eternity." I almost slapped Aeiou with the suitcase I was carrying because of her answer.

“Answer me honestly or I’ll rip your jaw. Why are you with us?” I threatened her. She automatically stopped me before speaking up.

“Fine! If you know Caliber, he ordered me to watch over you. " I looked sharply at her.

"Caliber’s watching over me?” I asked while raising an eyebrow.That man and his wickedness.

"Ahh, yeah?I just said that, Eerrah." This nerd is really getting into my nerves.

Actually, she's really beautiful, she doesn't have any eyeglasses now and she's relaxed. It's better for her so that she doesn't look miserable.
