Aemie Romero's POV.
"YES class. Drugs may vary depending on its effect. There are therapeutic drugs for prevention, diagnosis, disease, and for the relief of symptoms. Also, there are narcotics and other addictive drugs that are used illegally."
Lim. "Hey... borrrringg!" I whispered while Professor was discussing
"Blah blah blah blah...."
Why is our topic today being drugs? Wait, I can't...
Oh my God!
Our professor's plan to set up a syndicate? So, what's this? He's going to make us drug dealers? No way! I still have many dreams in life! I don't want them to just be ruined-
"Miss Romero!"
I immediately stood up when Ma'am called me. "Please?"
"Do you agree with me?"
Agree? Is this it? Is this really it, all boastful? Will I become a dealer if I agree? Come on! This is not possible! I will assert my rights!
"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but I don't agree with what you said," I said directly with full conviction.
"Hmm, by all means I think you have a better idea on how to deal with it. So, go ahead, spill it. Miss Romero."
Deal? My suspicion was correct! Wow!
I cannot allow you to form a syndicate! 'Then what will you do to us? You are ruining the lives of our young people, there is no one. I was cut off from what I was about to say when my classmates suddenly burst out laughing.
Eh?
How can they laugh at something so serious? I looked at Prof. Lim and he looked very angry. What was so wrong with what I said?
"GET OUT OF MY CLASS, MISS AEMIE ROMERO!"
Waaaaaaaaaaaah! Prof. Lim doesn't want to be stopped, what should I do? She's really determined to go ahead with her plan! This is bad!
"But there are many ways, Ma'am. I will help you change your life and think of another job, just don't-"
I was interrupted again when my classmates started laughing again.
"I SAID, GET OUT! NOW!"
What's wrong with me worrying about my classmates' future? Wait! Does that mean they agree to be Ma'am's drug dealers?
"That's okay, Aemie, you're still pretty!" said one of my classmates, who burst into laughter.
"It's really epic to imagine Aemie," another added and laughed out loud.
I walked towards the classroom door, but I looked at them all before leaving. I took a deep breath before speaking. "Don't ruin your parents' dreams for you. If I were you, I wouldn't follow Prof. Lim," I admonished them and then left the classroom.
"The best!" one of my classmates shouted while laughing.
"You, Aemie!" They laughed again at the same time.
"Aemie is really cool!" And they laughed again.
"SHUT UP OR ELSE, ALL OF YOU WILL FAIL IN MY CLASSI"
It's been a while since Insan and Caileigh. It's been an hour since I texted them that I was at the cafeteria, but they still haven't arrived. Oh, wait! Let me just introduce myself to you....
I'm Aemie Romero, you can call me Aemie for short-and Ae to make it shorter. Nineteen years of age. 3rd year college student, taking up BS Biology here at Stone Hurst University. Uhmm, what else? Oh, don't forget the physical description. Of course, super beautiful, oh so sexy, and super smart! Oh, don't be so angry because my Mommy said so!
Since I started thinking about it, Mommy and Insan Amesyl have been with me. I was just a baby when my daddy died, and so was Insan. So, the three of us are shaking around the house. Oh wait, Insan is already here, huh?
"Hey, why are you here in the cafeteria this morning?" She asked me while sitting next to me.
I smiled. "Nothing, Insan. Ma'am sent us out early," I just made an excuse.
"Whew?"
"Yes, of course. Oh, Caileigh is there! CAILEIGHHI" I immediately called Caileigh and then waved so that Insan and I could change the topic.
"If you could just shout, Aemie! Ten years without seeing each other?" Insan scolded me.
"Hi, girls!" Caileigh greeted as she approached our table. She sat down across from Amesyl and me.
"Yow," Insan greeted her back. "Hello," I said happily. Since high school, Insan and I have been with Caileigh. The three of us are BIT's. She is also always at our house, which is why the tandem of the four of us with Mommy is so great.
"Oh, Aemie, I met Kevin earlier. They're looking for you, Amesyl, and Louie is looking for you too."
"Why? What did you say?" I asked.
"I hope, Caileigh, you just brought them here. But wait, don't change the subject, Insan. First, admit why you ditched class," Insan inquired while looking at me evilly.
"Emegerd! Did you ditch, Aemie? Why? What happened?"
"Halal No, Caileigh, ah!" I turned to Amesył and gave her puppy eyes. "Who's that, eh! No-"
"I'll believe you, I'll report you to Tita. I'll say you ditched your class." Insan took out his cell phone and started typing. Come on!
"Wait a minute. Insan! Come on, I'll admit it to you," I said.
while pouting. I saw that their expressions became serious so I told them the whole story.
"Oh my God" Caileigh said in shock, followed by loud laughter.
"You're really funny, Insan," Amesyl commented, laughing out loud. They laughed out loud while banging the table.
"You two too? Did you just laugh at me too?!"
They ignored me and just continued laughing.
They always make fun of me. They say I'm an overthinker, accident prone, and slowpoke. Seriously? How can they say such hurtful things to me?
"What's that... you guys are making me feel bad, huh?" I turned my back on them and folded my arms but it had no effect. They were still laughing.
"You're really so funny, Ae," said Caileigh, still writhing in laughter.
"Sorry, Insan! Your stupidity is so strong," said Amesyl, still unable to control her laughter.
I just took out my cell phone to go on Facebook and post "The Two Madmen: Caileigh and Amesyl." But I couldn't continue posting because someone suddenly texted me.

MESSENGER: Unknown
(1 min ago) : Aemis pfumUntaH CcAh dHaw sXza ofFiSx nie Prof. Lim! Jejeje!
I immediately faced the two of them, and since Insan was next to me, I only shook him.
"Why? What happened to you, Insan?" Amesyl asked. "The jejemon who texted, eh. I can't read it!"
Cai immediately took my cell phone and read the text. "Aemie, go to Prof. Lim's office-that's the text, Aemiel" said Cai,
"Huh? Waaaaa!" I was panicking so I shook Insan again. "Stop that! What is it, Aemie?! Why?" Amesyl said irritated.
"Amesyl, Caileigh, are you deaf? Prof. Lim is asking me to come to her office. What if she forces me to sell drugs?"
What if
"Gags! She's just going to send you back to kinder, hurry up, maybe if you stay too long, she'll send you back to Auntie's stomach," Insan said while holding back her laughter. I looked at Cai and saw that she was also holding back her laughter. What's so funny about going back to kinder?
I just nodded and picked up my shoulder bag. "Let's meet again, the three of us, later on, dismissal, okay?"
"Okay," Amesyl said.
"Alright. Aemie. Don't let yourself be kinder again, okay?" Cai said jokingly.
WHILE walking quickly, I thought. Why would Prof. Lim send me back to kindergarten? Is it because I didn't agree to be a dealer? But if I become a kindergartener again, when will I graduate? I guess I won't fit into their chair anymore. How can that Mommy be proud of me?
Then my classmates will laugh at me because they are young, and I am old. Well, I need to learn nursery rhymes again so they don't laugh at me.
"A-a-apple, B-b-ball, C-c-cat, and D-d-dog." Ano nga kasi 'yong sunod n'on? Halaa! I'm doomed!
When I arrived in front of Prof. Lim's office, my heart beat even faster. I had to think of a way.
Right!
Well, what if I just agreed to be a dealer?
I went back to kindergarten, right? And I wasn't alone, my classmates agreed too, right?
Right, right, Aemie! F-i-g-h-t-i-n-g
I immediately knocked on the door when I arrived opposite Prof. Lim's office.
"Come in."
"Hello, Prof. Lim!" I smiled at her.
"Miss Romero, I'm going to tell you straight. I didn't like what you did earlier, and because of that..."
Ma'am! Wait a minute, I don't want to go back, kinder. If you put me back in Mommy's belly, how will I fit in there? You're being so inconsiderate, Ma'am. It's not like I'm leading you on, but it's a bit.
"That's how it is. So if you really want me to be a drug dealer... okay, I agree."
Prof. Lim was massaged in her senses.
Does what I said give her a headache? What she said gives me a headache more, huh? Just a little longer, I'll be angry with Ma'am, okay?
"Miss Romero, what are you saying? I don't know where you got what you're saying."
Ma'am is still wondering, she's the one who didn't discuss here today.
Uh, uh… Ma'am
"Let me finish first, Miss Romero."
"Okay!" I replied immediately while smiling. "Peace!"
"If it were up to me, I would like to drop you because of the way you humiliated me in front of the whole class earlier. But I talked to all the staff and even the president of the school. Since you always top the exams, not only in my subject, but also in all your subjects, we decided that"
"You're just going to send me back to grade school? Oh my God! Thank you! Thank you very much, Ma'am! But it would be better if I went to high school so I wouldn't have to study that again."
"Miss Romero, you will talk to and convince the entire Roswell Corporation panel to force them to invest here in Stone Hurst University to further improve the school's reputation. This will also serve as your punishment"
Oh! Okay! I just have to force it, but how? Don't tell me I'll sell them...
"Ma'am, should I sell them to-"
"Good luck, Miss Romero, but I'll just remind you... it's hard to get the owner to agree, even if you get the panel to agree, we still can't be sure that Mr. Roswell will agree. We've been. convincing him for two years now, but he really doesn't want to."
This Ma'am is really cruel, even if I won't agree! I won't agree even if they keep offering me drugs for the rest of my life! That's terrible! She's a professor, leaving common sense at home.
"Is there a problem, Miss Romero?"
I smiled at Ma'am. "No, of course not. Ahm, what's the owner's name, Ma'am?"
"Ezekiel. Mr. Ezekiel Roswell."
