8. Part Time

"Your in trouble Grimm!" said a student ...

Grimm frowned and then angrily looked at his classmates fighting. Freddie and Jayson. He faced them and clenched his fists.

"You two get ready for me! It's your fault!" Grimm's face was very dark.

He hurriedly punched... He first attacked Jayson. It did not escape, it fell down. He punched him in the face, with a jaw. And after that Freddie followed... It backed away when he stared into his eyes.

"W-Wait, you punched Sir Adrian ah?" fear of its language.

Grimm did not speak anymore... Freddie ran but he still chased after it. He reached for the hem of his dress and he succeeded. He presented it to him. And then... BAGS! He punched it in the stomach and knocked it down. It touch its stomach. Grimm looked at it. He only give a very light punch.

"Sure, you two will remember what I did. Didn't I already say that I don't want anyone fighting here at school?!" Grimm said...

"Eh because he eh... He texted my girlfriend." Freddie replied.

He ignored it. Grimm turned to the teacher he had accidentally punched. He approached it, he sat down and shook his teacher's shoulder.

"Sir Adrian. Sir Adrian!" he calls its name.

It slowly opens the eyes.

"Are you all right, Sir?" he asked.

"Y-You devil!" its language is dizzy.

Grimm just laughed at what he said. It is not a big deal for him to be called a devil. He is really like that.

"Sir wasn't hurt much! He knew exactly what he was saying. All right, take him to the clinic schoolmates and my dear teachers. Because your PEACE KEEPER Grimm... Just need some fresh air outside!"

He smiled at everyone and stood up. He just had to step on his feet when...

"Grimm Redshade, come to my office too and we will all talk!"

His eyes widened when he heard that voice... He knew her very well because he was always called in her office. 'Ma'm Alice!' It looks like his neck has a spring. He hesitated to turn around and the woman smiled broadly at him.

"Ma'm Beautiful, am I really involved?" he hesitated to ask.

"Sure, Grimm. Can I forget the student who always visit in my office? So come on, come with us and we will see if I will give you a special reward, with these two." she really pointed out Jayson and Freddie.

'Special Reward-special punishment.' Grimm had just finished cleaning the school garden the other day... And here he is again. Grimm did nothing.

Rusty, on the other hand, was an idiot and very windy in the scene she saw.

"Maybe you already realized what you saw. What, would you still like Grimm to be friends?" Mikee whispered to her.

She sighed deeply and look at Mikee’s face... Then, she looked at Grimm again. She smiled.

"Of course! He's really cool. He's weird and funny." her language was lively.

Mikee laughed out loud and just shook his head. The result... Sir Adrian forgave Grimm because he did not mean what happened. But he was still given a special reward for what he did to Jayson and Freddie. He will clean the hallway of the school this afternoon. While the two will clean up the men’s Comfort Room(Toilet) for the whole week.

The next day... Grimm looked at himself after he put on his uniform as a waiter at a famous Chinese restaurant.

"Very handsome ah? Surely many will get your phone number later." Mikee tease at him.

"Maybe you, a lot women will get your phone number. Your handsome face is so kind... Like the face of an angel. Unlike me, literally devilish handsome." he said.

Mikee laughed. Rodel's uncle owns the restaurant so they can work part time there when they are free. There is no problem if he takes part time and does not go to their bakery. It is only occasionally. He does not like to ask his parents for money when he wants to buy something. He knows the difficulty of them... So here he is, working extra to make ends meet.

"Okay, are you ready?" Rodel asked them.

His Kuwarog Boys are not just into fights... They are also sober somehow.

"Ready, ready! We'll be fine, Guys!" his language was lively.

Grimm raised his right hand with his fist clenched. His friends Rodel, Reynaldo (Rey for short), Salvador (Salv for short), Ricky and Mikee - his sensible best-friend. He is not one of his Kuwarog Boys. They imitated him, they also raised their right hand with their fists clenched. And they banged their fists in the air. They are used to doing that. Symbol of their support for each other. They went out and started serving customers that night.

There are a lot of people in the restaurant and they do not compete in serving. They are all busy... Until...

"Wait, this is not my order!" said a female customer.

Grimm saw Reynaldo's paleness. He was stunned and that's where the people's attention went.

"S-Sorry, M-Ma'm... I'll just change it."

"I'm sorry?! I'm so hungry! If you weren't so stupid!"

Grimm could no longer stand that scene. He politely said goodbye to the customers he served. He approached Reynaldo. He looked at the female customer and...

"I'm sorry, Ma’m! I was the one who made a mistake. I was the one who handed your order to my companion. I did not mean to be confused because of the number of customers." he said politely.

"Grimm..." his friend objected.

He kicked it lightly to the side. It no longer spoke. It knows him, he is the type who is hard to resist.

"Confused?! You mean, your idiot so this happened! What, is it just like this? It's just like this?! You are shameless!"

Grimm clenched his fists. His patience is short... But he chose to calm down. In front of him was a woman.

"Ma'm, I'm sorry again. We'll just change your food. I'll make sure I don't make mistakes..."

Grimm still calmed down. But, the woman still did not let go. It doesn't matter even if people are already looking at them. It looks like it's fun to make someone embarrassed.

"You can't go wrong, did you make a mistake? You idiot! Anyway, I can see that you look dumb!"

It was there that Grimm's patience was completely broken... Since, he was only part time... And the food on his table was also deducted from his salary... He admitted the mistake because he knew his friend's situation. They were six siblings and his Dad was just extra in construction. His mother’s job was in laundry. Rey is the eldest and the most reliable helping its parents...

He is lucky somehow because even though they are not rich, they are not that poor. He and his older brother Andrey have a comfortable simple life. He sighed and look at the woman again.

"Eh, I'm sorry, Ma'm... I'm sorry and I admit my mistake. We will replace your food. What else do you want?!" his voice was high.

"Why! You're rude, are you answering?!" its language is still angry.

"Can't you understand?! That's why I said I'm sorry. You idiot! You idiot!"

The woman was stunned and the customers who were already watching their scene giggled.

"Don't tell me that... I'm educated!" arrogant woman's language.

Grimm raised an eyebrow.

"I don't care if you are educated why do you think, you are behaving like an educated person? You bitch! You're worse than a barking dog!"

The woman was stunned and her eyes widened as she stared at Grimm. She was in shock... Suddenly someone applauded... One of the customers... Male. He stood up and looked at Grimm with a smile.

"That's right, kid! Fight for what you stand for and right! You're great! Great!"

Grimm also smiled and scratched his neck.

"Oh, thank you Sir!" he was ashamed of his language.

He did not think he had a customer with him.

"Who are you kidding? Don't you know the saying... Customers are always right?!" angry woman language here.

"Stop being such an animal! Hoy, beautiful woman! That saying should not be abused. You are out of place! You are too much. Are you still proud of being educated?! Nalase! You are not ashamed of your behavior ay! Thickness of your face, you have the courage to say that child is a fool. Eh, he already explained, you still do not understand! The two of you, you are the stupid!" said the man crisply.

The companion stood with it and...

"Uy Blade! Stop it. That's a girl!" his companion reprimanded.

"I don't care if it's a woman, Drake! She’s to much! If it was just a man, I would have broken the animal's face earlier! She feels to act like a queen... But she is a trash!"

"Abuwisit ak pa!" Drake just retorted.

The woman is already crying. She suddenly grabbed the bag that was lying on the table and quickly walked out...

"Oh, walked out?!" the man said.

Grimm was pleased with it.

"Sir, thank you for defending me. You are sensible!"

"Oh, that's just nothing! You don't have to be thankful. I just can't stand that someone is being bullied... Especially, a kind person like you and young as you are."

He smiled and so did he. The lightness he felt here. Especially when he told him that he was kind. He really wanted to be told with that, he was happy.

After that, everything is back to normal mood... Nothing seems to have happened. Thankfully, they finished early...

When they went home, they were having a good time talking. Of course, they were the topic of the scene.

"Seriously, I don't think you would answer that woman like that! You are really different!" Rodel laughed.

"It's too much eh... It was good that I was defended by a customer. He was smart and cool! It’s just that, his swears are so crunch."

"Yes indeed! And he humiliated the woman badly. I felt a little sorry when she started crying and suddenly walked out!" Salv commented.

They all laughed. While, Reynaldo was embarrassed to catch a glimpse of Grimm's face. He really appreciated what it did for him earlier.

"Grimm, thank you. You took my mistake." Reynaldo whispered.

Laughter disappeared and they all fell silent.

"Nah, its nothing. You are my friend and I know what you will lose when your salary is reduced..." he retorted.

He looked at the plastic bag he was carrying... That's the food it mistakenly gave to the female customer. Since that was a reduction in his salary, he just took it home. He will just give it to his beloved family.

"Uy, don't dramatize. It doesn't matter, because your face is ugly when you frown so stop there!" Grimm said.

"You're really crazy!" laugh it off.

Grimm doesn't insult his friend... He just doesn't want it to be sad because of him.

When Grimm got home, his family members greeted him with a wide smile. He was surprised to see them. He mano his Dad Andy, his Nanay Rosa and of course... To his best Lola Epang who was babysitting him. He and his older brother Andrey. (A gesture of respect for elders)

"What is ours?" he asked everyone.
