CHAPTER TWO: The New girl beats me on Chess.
After our class, some kids' leisure their selves before the school bus are ready to take us home. We try to find ways to make ourselves less bored. One of my most favorite ways is through Board games-chess.
Well, me and my mom had some financial problems before. My mom always tries to spend for us with her work-a secretarial position in a publishing company. Her job seems to be not enough. Aunt Hylla always tries to help us before but my mom always turns down her offer. The only thing she approves was a scholarship from the Amazon. Sometimes Aunt Hylla tries to sneak in our school and give me some cash for my allowance. That's why many of my classmates thought that me and my mom was rich. They don't really know the whole story.
By the way, I learn to gamble with chess boards. If I win I can take whatever I want-their allowance, their lunch, their tickets for two in the cinemas. Maybe this is on of the things Mrs. Bobofit doesn't know about me. Why? Because I took my prize when we are in the school bus. Well, not all of the time I use chess as a gamble. Sometimes I tried to play chess with bullies and ask for the things they took with the helpless one in the class.
It was Brenda Castellan who was now playing with Helga Huge. I wonder how Brenda convinced dumb Helga to fight her on chess. It was to my surprise that Helga was actually winning the board game. I wonder if Helga's brain cell was now trying to reproduce. I can see how pressured Brenda was. On the board was a piece of eye glass-Rhima's. Then my anger surge, this bully was trying to mess up with again with Rhima?
"Checkmate, you just lost hero." Helga grinned. "Anyone who wants a fight?"
"Aye."I started. "I'll bet my own allowance."
"Not enough hero," she started. "I want that gold coin in your pocket."
How did she know I got a gold coin on my pocket? Even Rhima doesn't know about it. I never told anyone. Not even my mom. After she gave the golden coin to me and told me it belongs to my father, I never let it out of my pocket.
"Fine" I said, "promise me you will return the Glasses after I beat you."
"Too proud. I'll make sure you'll be sorry" she answered.
I noticed some familiar accent on her voice. It was not hers. Her tone sounds big dumb girl, this one sounds ancient.
"Cut your drama, let's see how many cell your brain has reproduced."I teased her
She turned red as if she was never been humiliated when it comes to her own brain capabilities. Definitely not her, but I don't mind it that much since I find it exciting to beat her up.
The game runs smooth on me. I called the shots of game. I can see the sweats on Helga's face running through her cheek. Her eyes look pleasured. I remembered, her eyes was blue, now it was black as charcoal.
"Checkmate bully," I started." now, the glasses"
I won and retrieved Rhima's glasses. I can't still take off my stare to Helga as if she's just not her. Something was different. Then I watch her walk her way out. I glanced my clock, the bus should be taking us now but it seem that the time has stop or may be it runs really slow. I glanced up the sky and its very suspicious as if were just on a two minutes of a game. I try to see one more sigh but I caught a pair of green eyes approaching—Althesia.
I felt suddenly tensed. I could not stare on her in a minute. I knew I got this strong strange feeling over her. I just don't know if it's positive of negative.
"Can I challenge you in a game?" Althesia started, "well, that is if you're not afraid of loosing."
"Loosing?" I smirked. "You probably don't know who I am. The deal depends on your bet, for me I'll bet my golden coin."
"Fine" she answered. I'll bet with this." She withdraw a cheap ballpoint pen on the pocket of her jacket.
"You got to be kidding me? A gold for a cheap pen?" I said." How about a kiss?
I forgot that were not alone in the room. I just hope that my face was not as red as hers .
"I rather place our own house for bet." She answered.
"You can't do that. I want something for sure. Maybe you're not confident of winning that's why you can't even place a kiss for a bet." I challenge her
"That's not true!" She shouted. "Fine! A kiss for a bet, for sure you will stand a no chance."
She looks at me as if she was trying to figure out the one hundredth way of defeating me.
