CHAPTER 04 | Save |
I didn't mind who gave that gift. Maybe it's true he's my soon to be fiance.
I just wondered why he gave me a plastic ring, maybe he's also against this stupid fix marriage. It's good both of us.
I used to eat breakfast alone, because my parents always left early. Back to Monday so back to school days again.
It's the second week of going to Love Academy.
"Thank you brother." I thanked my driver before getting out of the car. I adjusted my skirt and bag first before I walked into the main building of the school.
To access all the classrooms, faculties, club rooms, gymn, etc you really need to go through the busiest hallway of the school. The main building.
I'm used to walking through this hallway and a lot of people really look at me. But this day seems like different.
"The pretentious debut of that is still news on TV."
"Oh yeah I watched that report last night."
Tss. I already expected this, the whole campus will really talk about my debut. I'm not bragging in fact I don't really like that.
I just ignored the whispers about me, I continue walking with my head held up high.
I’m not a snob, so I also smile at people who smile at me. I was at the end of the hallway when I met, Tine. She's with her friends if I'm not mistaken their names are, Archy and Givanne.
Tine and I we're on the same age or she's a month older with me but we're not on the same grade level. She's grade 11 student while me is on my 12th grade.
"Hi," I greeted Tine with a smile. We had agreed before that he would not consider me his boss when we were at school.
"Ah, h-hello." She awkwardly replied. I checked her neckline and I'm happy to see that she's wearing the necklace I gave her yesterday.
"I'm first." I said goodbye when I saw Lian.
"S-alright," He said, I passed them but I stopped a bit when I heard my name from Tine's friend.
"Yabang, porquet rich! He's just handing out the bill because he makes you look like he's rich, that your state is different."
"That's right, Archy. There's a greeting more plastic huh!"
"Shh, stop that." Disobeying them by, Tine in a modest voice.
I just took a deep breath, I'm already used to it. No one dares to talk in my front but when I turn my back? Huh!
"Lian!" I called my bestfriend, he was walking towards the room but stopped when I called, he waited for me to get to where he was before we both continued walking.
"Your debut is the main topic of campus!" She struck a conversation but I noticed something on her face.
"We're blooming now ah!" I teased her, because I noticed that she has a thick Liptint, she's not like that.
"Self care is what you are! Don't pay any attention to it!" He sat on me, a little irritated. What is he? Adolescent?
"Are you in the sink?" I teased, I just noticed, he was irritated last week.
"Luh? You're right suspicious." Nakangiwing aniya.
"You're too defensive. That's good when you can move your ex!" I preach.
Lian has an only ex who until now he still can't get over. He once e-told us their love story and I can say that it's really exciting .... okay.
We know his love story but not the name and appearance of the man.
"Come on!" He said irritably and walked faster, I left.
"Ow," I said when the handsome cold transfer guy suddenly appeared next to me. "Hi! Shun Clark Tuazon." I called him in full name but there was no response. Tsk.
"Morning my Mae!" At the same time, I hugged Mae as the usual early bird for the three of us.
"Morning baby." He said I sat next to him as did Lian on the other side of him.
The class immediately started, I really feel that the class is opening because our topics have become serious.
"Guyz, I'm just in the bathroom." I say goodbye to them when I break.
"All right, we're just at Cafeteria mylabs next ah?" Mae that I just kissed.
I went to the common bathroom of our floor, miracle and no one is here? Because many people use it when they break.
I checked my face in the mirror while washing my hands then I went to the cubicle. I need to pee.
When I came out of the cubicle, there was still no one. It's amazing, isn't it?
I washed my hands again, and briefly arranged my hair.
I was about to leave the restroom when the man who picked up my cellphone suddenly appeared and I was dancing during my debut.
"Ow," I said is he really my schoolmate! So familiar!
I step once but he stopped me.
"There you are." It's amazing, he said. I was in the bathroom while he was outside, we were in the middle of the big bathroom door that was fully open.
"Huh?" I'm confused. He closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath.
"Prine heck!" I heard a woman's voice seem irritated.
I took another step, I was only two steps away from the bathroom door.
"I said stop." Tough he said.
I was confused my body froze of what he said. In the chaos of events and he says it's just stock-up as well as my body.
"Why?" I asked confused.
He took another deep breath, why am I feeling frustrated with him so much? What is there and is he stopping me?
"Prine naman eh!" It was the voice of a woman with an irritated tone again.
I sighed heavily, then I stepped twice out of the bathroom. Who is that? What is going on here? Why doesn't he want to let me go?
I hadn't even gotten out of the bathroom when I was surprised when he suddenly hugged me!
Her eyes widened when she looked up. He wrapped his arms around my back! His palm pushed my head causing my face to sink into his chest!
I hadn’t complained yet because of the shock I felt the bucket of water fall on his back.
My eyes widened even more in shock. What is this!
This guy's back is soaking wet because of me! The more my body stocked up in panic, my knees trembled. I just thank him and he hugs me so I don't fall.
My lips are trembling so as my hands that touching his chest. I slowly lifted my face to look at him.
He's closing his eyes while waters are dripping on his hair. I was stunned by his closed face. I saw his face this close when I debuted. But this one is a clearer view of his angelic face.
"Rose!" I didn’t notice the increase in people. I just felt Mae and Lian pulling me as a reason to let go of her hug.
"Are you alright?" Mae who doesn't know where to hold me.
"Y-yeah?" My confused answer is I still can't recover from what happened earlier
"Bullies again?" Yes, Lian. They're both worried about, Mae.
"Come on!" Mae pulled me in, she was obviously angry. My uniform and hair are wet but hers is worse!
"W-just come!" I stopped walking and let go, Mae.
I took the handkerchief from my skirt pocket and went back to her.
"I'm sorry, t-thanks." I said then handed him the hanky. Fortunately, he accepted.
"Rose let's go!" He pulled me again, Mae.
He saves me.
