She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 522 - SEIJI: HIS UNTOLD STORY II

As promised, the waitress became their tour guide and helped them get to St. Monica Middle School. Just like she said, it wasn't very far but because there were so many buildings around it, Seiji had a hard time to find this school. It wasn't a very big school but it was decent and the students were really discipline unlike his school where students have more power against the teachers because money.

Taking time off just to help them, Grandpa Sy thanked the woman and gave her a tip which was actually equivalent to her three days of work. At first, she refused it and she was going back and forth with Grandpa Sy. Seeing that they weren't done yet, Seiji took the money and thanked her sincerely before placing the money in her hand.

The waitress left them in front of the school and Seiji, along with his grandpa, walked towards the gate to see the attending guard. "Excuse me?"

"Yes? How can I help you?" the guards questioned right after opening the school gate. He let them in and ushered them to the guard house first as per protocol. "Do you have any business to do here?"

Grandpa Sy didn't know what his grandson was up to so, he let them say whatever he wanted to say as long as his words didn't hurt anyone..

"How do I get to enter this school and study here?" Seiji asked which raised his grandpa's eyebrow. "I want to transfer to this school."

The guard looked at him up and down but it wasn't in a rude way, instead, he looked curious as to why a handsome man like him, who looked rich, would like to transfer to their school which was pretty average."

"I am not sure if you can still transfer in the middle of the school year but I'll go and ask the principal. Can you wait a moment?"

"Sure." Seiji held his grandpa's hand and led him to the vacant wooden bench and sat there while waiting for the guard's information.

The guard didn't leave his post and just called the principal through the landline phone. He listened carefully to what the other end was saying while taking glances towards Seiji and his grandpa. "Alright, sir. I'll go inform them." He ended the call and went over to Seiji and Grandpa Sy. "The principal says that the transfer duration has passed already but if you really want to join this school, you can enroll next year. You don't need to take any entrance exam since we don't conduct that here."

Seiji frowned and looked at his grandfather. There was obvious discontent showing on his face and grandpa Sy could tell that Seiji will most-likely be down and disappointed once they go home. "Can I talk to your principal instead? Is that alright?" Grandpa Sy asked.

He didn't expect that he'd be using his identity just to make a transfer deal for his grandson.

The guard dialed the principal's office number and informed him that the visitor wanted to talk directly to him. The principal was very kind and just accepted the call without any hint of annoyance.

"Can we talk in your office? This is Mr. Simon Sy from Singapore."

The principal was shock from hearing that name and his heart even faltered in its beat. Who would think that someone so known in business world would come to their school? It took him several minutes to bring himself back to earth from the empty space called shock.

Grandpa Sy had to bribe the principal just to make sure that he will allow Seiji to transfer to that school. Bribing teachers or headmasters happens a lot of times but this bribing that happened between Grandpa Sy and the principal was a little bit surprising. The principal didn't accept the money from grandpa Sy, instead he asked if they could donate some computers or books for the school.

Grandpa Sy likes the attitude of the principal. Even though he was bribed, he didn't think of personal gain alone. He was thinking for all the students who are studying and will be studying in their school.

And because his grandson really likes to see that future wife of his, grandpa Sy, agreed. Transferring his grandson to the school he likes cost him ten desktop computers and ten cartoons of different books. Not only was Seiji allowed to transfer, he was even allowed to choose the class that he wanted to join.

This sudden transfer of school decision shocked his parents to the core. They thought that Seiji must have been bullied in his school which was why he wanted to leave. They were so worried for him but when the explanation came from his grandpa, the shock vanished and it was replaced with disbelief.

"Son, we won't arrange a marriage for you so, you don't have to look for a wife in a hurry." Seiji's father stated while looking at his son.

"If I won't look for her now, someone might snatch her later."

"Sweetheart, that girl might like someone else. Why would you have to do all this?"

"No mom. I will make her like me. I will befriend her first and I will curt her later on."

"Look, relationship isn't a simple game. You need to –"

"Dad, I know. I have read so many things in all my years of living. Don't worry. No matter what you say, I won't change my mind. I must transfer to that school and study there with her."

"Where's my obedient son? Return him to me. Why are you being willful now?" His father retorted as he put his hands on his son's shoulders and shook him.

"Obedient? What's that? Is that edible?" Seiji responded with mirth in his eyes. "I was never obedient. I just knew what's good and what's bad for me. And this time, I know that transferring school will be good for me."

Left with no other choice, the whole family allowed this young man to transfer school. To his cousins, it was a relief because they wouldn't be compared to him anymore. To his parents, it was devastating. As for his grandfather, he will always be contented and happy as long as he's beside him

One week later, Seiji's grandpa settled everything for him and was finally able to transfer him. As for which class, Seiji believed that it was destiny working its way for him to find her easily because she happens to be in the same year as him. Thus, he joined her class and tried befriending her on his very first day.

Cayenne was very quiet during class but she paid extra attention to their teacher's words and made sure to keep notes of every topic that the teacher would discuss. He wasn't annoyed that she didn't like talking much. What annoyed him was that, a certain monkey named Arthur likes to stick closely to Cayenne. Wherever she goes, he'd be following her like a dog.

"Yenyen, do you want to eat lunch with me?" Seiji asked while holding his lunchbox that his grandpa carefully prepared in the morning.

Cayenne looked at him and smiled but she was shaking her head. "I won't be eating lunch today. I have other things to do."

"Yenyen doesn't need you to accompany her." Arthur also commented on the side which made Seiji hate him even more.

"I'm not talking to you." Seiji blurted out and left to eat his food alone.

Cayenne watched him walk away and return to his seat to eat lunch. "I'll eat next time with you." Cayenne mumbled which made Seiji turned his head to look at her. "When I feel like eating lunch, I'll eat with you."

Later on, Seiji found that Cayenne didn't skip meals because she wanted to. It's just that, they didn't have much at home to cook for lunch. And so, he decided to bring and extra lunch for her. 'I'll take it as raising my future wife.'
