cHAPTER 03 : PARTNERS IN CRIME

KEITH'S POV:

Nay Belen woke me up early and I can say that I slept well For several years in this household, I also experienced comfort somehow

"Oh Keith, here's your pocket," Tita said as she handed me the money I didn't want to accept it but I couldn't do anything anymore, Tito Marc took me to the car

So Alice and I were side by side while traveling to school When I got out of the car, I saw my friends since I was little

Besides Nay Belen, they are the family I have "Oh, why don't you come in with a chideng (car)" Regie greeted me

"It's surprising what your uncle ate and allowed you to ride in his car, it used to be when we were playing together it was forbidden" said Aiki

"If you're wondering what I was up to yesterday morning, Auntie, they still hit me and then when I got home I went shopping" I said

"Hmm, it's amazing how that happened, what's that magic" said Rain "I don't know" I said and sat on the bench where they were sitting

"That's why you always use something new, but maybe your aunt bumped into it and changed her mind" said Aiki "Or maybe there's cancer that's about to die so it's recovering HAHAHA" Regie said with a laugh

"You're being silly," Rain said and hit Regie "Ouch! Why do you know I'm right, right or left?" Regie said mischievously

"Korni, but let's get back to the conversation, it's impossible for your aunt to be kind to you like that, and don't you know anything that could be the reason?" Aiki promised

I just shook my head because I couldn't really think of a reason It's really surprising that they almost killed me then suddenly boom bait

It's up to me what happens next, as long as I've experienced them treat me right at least once Luckily I had real friends Aiki, Regie and Rain

They are just neighbors with Tita but their families are richer Fortunately, they are kinder than my aunt even though they have money

I used to play with them when I was little when Tita was away and Nay Belen and I were the only ones left at home

The bell rang signaling that class was about to start but we were so happy when they announced that there would be no class but we couldn't go home

"Let's go to the library" said Regie to us "What did you say?" Aiki promised in disbelief

"When did you become deaf? I said let's go to the library" when Regie repeated "The world is healing everybody our friend wants to go to the library" Rain interjected

"You know just like season people chains" said Regie proudly "What?" Aiki promised

"You are deaf, confirm what I said, people chains!" shouted Regie Regie had a taste of Aiki's neck again

"It's ok, I hope there's more just like just like season you're wrong what people chains?! PEOPLE CHANGE T*NGA" said Aiki and hit Regie again

"How long has it been too much that you're hurting me, I'll report you to my mom" said Regie and started crying

"Mom, you're hurting me, you want to hit me again before you report me, fix your English first," said Aiki.

Regie was about to speak but Rain stopped her, that's how we are when we're together, our day isn't complete without Regie and Aiki looking at each other

"I'm going to the library, let's go," Rain said, so we started walking to the library "Time first" Regie suddenly said when we were opposite the canteen

"Oh what a first time you are there" said Aiki "I'm hungry, we can eat first," Regie said smiling

"Mom, eat alone" Aiki said and Rain signaled us to walk again But Regie is pulling the three of us, that's not surprising

The three of us are thin, only Regie has the flesh among us We were struggling when someone shouted behind Regie

"WTF AHHHHH MY MY SHOES! mY SHOES!!” the woman shouted We got settled and I saw Alice's friend Hazel

"Oh my i can't breathe my-my shoes!!" he promised artfully "What are you doing like a pig in a canteen, not a playground, you're a high school kid, you're still a child," Hazel's friend said to Elle.

"What did you say?" Regie said annoyed "Which one is the pig? or the child's mind?" when Elle answered teasingly

Regie was about to answer but Rain and I saw the teacher coming "Oh, why can't you stop, why don't you report to the three bamboos that are with you?" Elle said with a laugh

Aiki and Rain looked at each other and I was annoyed but I couldn't do anything "How beautiful is your cricle, a pig and three bamboos, lechon pig yarn?" Elle said and the curious students laughed

Regie was about to touch Elle's face when the teacher approached us "Oh ladies is there a problem here?" said the teacher

"It's okay, we're just having fun," Rain replied "Oh ok have fun then I'll see you around first" said the teacher

"Yes ma'am" we answered at the same time When Maam went away, Regie immediately grabbed Elle's hair

CONTINUATION: [STILL KEITH'S POV]

When Regie pulled Elle's hair and she pulled it then Elle avoided it Hazel couldn't do anything but ask their other friends for help

"It's true that Regie has a fight, let's go" Aiki said and pulled out one more from Elle before we ran away from the canteen together before the other witches could get close

"HAHAHAHAHAHA" Aiki and Regie laughed when we got here behind the school "You two are a mess you bastards" complained Rain who was tired of running

"Did you tell bamboo it's not possible" said Regie "It's ok, that's what the pig told you, gwenchana HAHAHA" Aiki said with a laugh while patting Regie on the shoulder

"Yes, of course, I didn't think of that," said Regie who seemed to have realized what had just happened "That's right, we are no longer the most wanted in their group, what about Keith, Alice will definitely warm to you" Rain said.

"It's ok, I can do it myself, they went first" I said and sat down There are old arm chairs piled up in the back so we can hang out instantly

the air feels like you're being cradled when it touches your skin The surroundings are clean, including the arm chairs, so you can sit without thinking

We talked to pass the time and I didn't realize I fell asleep

ALICE'S POV:

I passed by the cr and Hazel and Elle went to the canteen first. When I went to the canteen, they both couldn't paint their faces

"What happened?" I promise as soon as I get close to them "Your cousin's friends and your cousin bumped into me so coffee was spilled on me, you guys know that I just bought a pair of white shoes and I love them!!" Hazel said annoyed

"Who's cousin? You mean Keith?" I'm sure "Why do you have another cousin here?!" Hazel said annoyed

"They didn't even apologize, so I fought, but that fat bastard got stuck in my hair," complained Elle.

"It can't be, we have to get revenge! I'll tell this to my dad so they can all be expelled," said Hazel which alarmed me Keith can't be involved in trouble

Mommy knows that they are my friends Hazel and they are really cursed maybe Mommy will think that I told Hazel to expel them

"No, why would you report it if we can just find a way to get revenge, and the boring one is just expelled right away, right?" I insisted

Both Hazel and Elle looked at me with raised eyebrows "Actually girl, Alice has a point, it's boring if she's just expelled," said Elle

"And what do you plan to do?" Hazel promised "Just torture them, that's better" I promised

"Right good idea! You're so evil Alice" Elle said and hugged me "In any case, I will agree to your suggestion Alice, but just make sure that you are not defending your cousin, that's why you told me not to proceed with the expulsion," said Hazel.

"Who will I defend? Girl, you don't seem to know me from what you're saying," I promised You're really bw*sit Keith, you're really unlucky in my life

"Actually, yes, that's why we're friends because we have the same attitude, birds with the same feathers," said Hazel.

"I know right" I answered and faked a smile, you really hurt me Keith relax Alice relax your suffering will end, just collect all your anger first

And when it's time to pour it, think about the conversation you had with your mommy It's for money Alice took a deep breath

BELEN'S POV:

Madam and Sir left, it was my chance to send the letter I made I sent the letter properly and when I got back home, the postman arrived

"It's a good day to write for Belen Cruz," said the postman "It's me, thank you very much" I answered

I immediately entered and went straight to my room then opened the letter I cried when I read the letter

The letter came from Spain from Don Dmttri himself "Thank you for writing letter but im sorry i already received a lot of letters saying they have my granddaughter im tired of these things hope you wont be sending any letters again" said in the letter

I sat on the floor and stared at the ceiling for a few minutes What more proof is needed? Don Dmttri doesn't remember me anymore

How is Señiorita alive if I can't find a way? While I was thinking about what to do, I suddenly remembered the necklace that Keith was holding

I can make it a proof that when Keith gets home we will take a picture of the necklace and send it to Spain immediately

I was encouraged because there is still hope, it's not over yet, I will do everything to make up for the family that helped me
