CHAPTER FOUR

"LOOK who's late?" I was stunned by the loudness of the teacher yelling at me when I entered the classroom.

I went through the back door so all my classmates had to tilt their heads to see me. instead of being afraid, I faced them with a big smile along with my dog-like panting.

"Hello everyone! I'm sorry I'm late! I'm in traffic!" I'll make excuses.

the teacher wears glasses and based on her appearance she is in her thirties. He pointed at me with the end of the stick.

"Tell me your name, why did I just see you in my class today?" He asked gruffly.

I smile even more, my gums look like you. "I'm Nana Zie Dela Vega. I'm a transfer student and I just attended your class."

One of his eyebrows rose while still pointing the stick at me. "Are you poor?"

He looked all over me. I still haven't lost my smile at him. "Yes, ma'am!"

"Miss." He said emphatically. "You must call me Miss Fae."

"Okay, Miss Fae."

"Then why did you get into this academy if you're poor?"

I smiled less. "I'm a scholar."

"Didn't the school provide you with a free uniform? why are you wearing such a crumpled dress, it looks like it was just picked up from the trash can." He sounded flat.

I could hear the secret snickering of my tights, delighted at Miss Fae betraying me.

"This I'm wearing was given by the school, it's free."

He smiled sarcastically. "Ahh.. in that case, you're the one who can't provide a scaffold?"

I nodded twice. "That's right."

A girl in my class raised her hand. That's where we turned our attention. "Miss Fae! She said that her iron overheated so that's the only way that uniform is! He doesn't even have a mirror to see himself!"

They all laughed as if it was a funny joke. I was silent.

The teacher shook her head sarcastically. "Is that so? Tsk! Take your seat, Nana. We'll discuss about you later."

I sat quietly in my seat. I opened my bag to take a look at the white handkerchief that I put the fibers I got from Ryker. I secretly smiled at the thought of my success. But that was erased when I remembered the incident of my lips touching his.

I shook my head one after another and closed my eyes tightly. Not allowed! It's just nothing, Naziena. It's just a touch and a kiss and it has no meaning! Accident, accidental event!

I guess.. It's called a sibling kiss..

My face soured. Sibling kiss?! What sibling kiss?! he's not my brother--wait? Maybe that Ryker is my brother! P-But..

My nostrils got bigger and tangled in my messy, porous, dead hair!

Punyemas..

I straightened up when someone threw a crumpled paper at me. I was not only stoned once or twice, but many! I looked around and saw a group of men laughing quietly as they looked at me. They are still crumpling the paper and continue to throw stones at me to really tease me.

instead of being pissed off, I gave them flying kisses over and over again. "Muah! Muah! Muah! Muah!"

Their faces crumpled, disgust appeared on the faces I was grinning at. Are you still teasing me?

I kissed them to tease them more. I slightly lifted my skirt to bring my thigh to them in a seductive way. I almost laughed when I saw the disgust on their faces! They looked away together.

HAHA! People are weak!

"Oh boy!--" I jumped in shock when someone kicked my chair from behind!

When I looked back, Ryker was looking at me with an evil face! Looking at me intently while sitting in his chair.

Has he been there before?!

"Excuse me, Nana?" Miss Fae's voice echoed, I immediately faced her. "What did you just say, Nana?"

I shook my head one after another. "W-Nothing. Just disappointed."

"She said BAYAG." My eyes widened when Ryker said that!

I was surprised to meet him. "Hey!"

even though his eyes were sharp, he sneered at me. "Nana said plainly while flirting with other boys."

My eyes got bigger! My nervousness thundered when he heard my name for the first time. But what he said made me more nervous!

"W-What are you flirting with other boys over there?!" I couldn't stop screaming.

He pointed to the group of men earlier and pointed to my skirt. "If not flirting.. You're seducing them.. aren't you?"

My lips parted. "W-What you're saying is horrible!"

but my lips softened even more when one of the men spoke earlier. "Miss Fae! It's true! She's trying to seduce us!"

I automatically stood up and faced that man. "Oh! You're a child!"

"NANA! Sit down!" The teacher hit the table with his stick.

I caught my senses. By the way, I'm Nana. Calm down, Naziena. You are dealing with children. Be another person for pete's sake!

I sat down and faced the female teacher with a big smile. "There is no truth, ma'am. They threw paper at me and when they got angry, I got angry at them too."

"Miss!" he said emphatically. "Don't call me ma'am. Do I have to repeat myself again? I'm Miss Fae!"

"Sorry, MISS Fae." I also responded strongly.

His eyebrows met. "Are you a rude girl?"

My brow furrowed but I still tried to make my smile bigger. "No ho, is it you? are you rude, MISS Fae?"

His face was completely wrinkled. "What kind of scholar student are you?! Is that the attitude of poor people? It's dirty, the behavior is even trash!"

I didn't respond, I just chose to keep my mouth shut and see what else I could blurt out. I heard the whispers of my classmates that I just hated.

"GET OUT! From now on, don't come to my class! OUT!" he pointed to the front door.

I stood up straight and took my bag. but instead of going through the front door where he was pointing, I went through the back door.

"Naughty!" I just heard him scream.

I scratched my head and finally walked down to the 4th floor. Looks like my recess is early today.

I just don't know how they will react when they find out that I am a college graduate and a summa cum laude student. Oh well, I must hide my identity no matter what.

I continued walking until I reached the canteen. Even before I got inside, something caught my attention. A familiar man is eating in the canteen.

Without a word, I went inside and went straight to him. He was slightly surprised when he looked up at me.

"What?" He is interested in me.

I smiled big. "Hi, Colby! You're here so I found you cute in the classroom earlier! Hahahahaha!

His face got worse. "Leave me alone. You're so annoying."

"Shhh!" I snorted. "Why are you ugly?"

He didn't answer me, he just continued eating carbonara. "Can I ask? I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I'm very hungry!"

"Go buy some." He replied.

"Well, I don't have any money! I'll be mean to you first--"

"Eat."

I was stunned when he suddenly put it in front of me. he didn't even look at me and without a word he stood up and walked out of the canteen! I watched him leave for a few seconds until he completely disappeared from my sight.

I was dumbfounded for a long time and looked at the carbonara that was less than half consumed. wow he was quick to give. Maybe it immediately tickled me..

"Hey! Shit!"

I was about to taste it when someone kicked the chair I was sitting on!! I turned around and saw Ryker's evil face there!

"B-Why are you suddenly showing up just to kick my chair?!" Shocked, I yelled at him.

Punyemas, if it's just my brother, I'll just kill myself! What about Duziell's big man? My God!

"I know what's your purpose and intention." he said seriously, biting my lips.

"Huh?"

I stood up and he looked up, the man's height. How did Duziell grow so big? Shoot! I am not sure if he is really Duziell.

He bowed to me and our eyes met. "You think I wouldn't know?"

My swelling got bigger and I swallowed.. That's all I'm nervous about!

"W-What are you saying?"

"I know what you want, Nana." He said seriously! "You're busted."

S-Shoooooot! Did he realize.. Shoot! Shoot! Shoooot!

"I now understand why you're hitting on me."

"R-Ryker--"

with his index finger he pushed my forehead several times.

"You. Are." the corner of his lips rose. "Obsessed. With. Me."

My eyes are bigger and so are my nostrils! "O-Obsessed? H-Haaaaa?!"

He fixed us, grinning. "I figured it out now. first, you steal my attention. You ripped my shirt so that I will remember you. Then again, you tried to steal my attention again by pulling my hair earlier. You're violent and in love with me at the same time.."

I blinked several times. "Huh?"

He bowed to me again. "That's what makes you.. obsessed with me."
