Chapter 65

• FLASHBACK:
• After his father's burial, Gideon came to terms with the fact that he will he sent to a boarding school. His notion of a boarding school was tough, uneventful and draining and of course it was for him especially during the first period of his junior year. "Boarding school will make you tough Romero." his mother once told him and to an extent Gideon felt it did. However, he had vowed that he will never subject Ryan to that kind of torture. Later on, he was informed that other boarding schools were well run but as far as Gideon was concerned, boarding schools aren't meant for broken children especially at tender ages when they needed to experience ideal childhood.
• "This is Gideon Romero. " introduced the science teacher to the class. He was introducing little Gideon who had just been enrolled into the junior high school, a boarding school. Gideon was staring at his shoes shy of lifting his head up or maybe he was afraid. It was his first day at the boarding school. Few weeks after Nanny Grace's departure from his life, his mother had told him he will be going to the boarding school the next week and little Gideon wept pleading with his mother but she wouldn't oblige. He was barely ten then and was an introvert. As an only child, he will speak to his toys when Nanny Grace didn't show up or came late and when his mother acted busy, he will lobby his way to play with the kids in his neighborhood. "Say hi to Gideon" his science teacher Mr. Wellbereck told the kids and they chorused "Hi. " he waved at them and immediately lowered his head before he was asked to seat.
