chapter 2

•SAPPHIRE•

"Go study at Krystal University, hija. Tomorrow is tomorrow, Hanz will join you to enroll." Tito said while we ate.

I just nodded to him in response.

"But dad... I don't want to be with that." One of them said that I think it was Hanz.

"Hedrix, just you. You need to accompany your sister." Tito said.

"Dad--"

"There are no buts! You two go with Sapphire. Take care of her there, it's still her first time." Tito said.

I just ate silently while listening to their conversation.

After we finished eating, I immediately went to the sink and washed my hands.

"After you finish that, son. go to the sofa. We need to talk about something." Mom said.

"I'll wash the dishes first." I said simply. Tito looked up at him and smiled.

"You don't need to, hija. We have maids so they should do the work--"

"Give it up dad...That should be up to him so that he knows where he is going." Hedrix said.

"Hedrix!" Tito's tone was threatening. Before there was trouble, I spoke.

"He's right, Uncle." They all looked at me. "Wait a minute, I'll wash the dishes first."

"Oh, we're already there, ma'am." Said the old man who had just come.

"Don't worry, I can do it."

"Shh." I heard one of them snort.

"Are you sure, hija?" Tito asked.

"We'll just wait for you there, son." Mom said. I just nodded and continued walking away. They left, except for Hanz who continued to kill me with his gaze.

"Are you that desperate for wealth?" He suddenly asked. I have now wiped the table.

"P-what?"

"Are you deaf? I said, are you so desperate for daddy's wealth, that's why you did everything even if the exchange was for your mom to marry my daddy, you still agreed." He said coldly.

"It's not like that. Yes, we are poor. But it's far from what you say."

"Oh, no, what? That your mom is really flirty!"

"He's not like that!"

"It's the same! He's so flirtatious that he hit on my daddy! You both flirt! You both flirted with my daddy to get his wealth. You only need wealth from dad, right?"

He stood up so I stepped back.

"When I give you what you want..will you stay away from daddy?" He says.

"W-because...h-I don't know, so-now I know everything--"

"Answer my fucking question! All I don't want is to flirt with daddy, that's what your mom did, right? To get the money." He came closer to me.

"That's not how my mom is!"

He pulled something out of his pocket. When he got It was a wallet full of money. He took all of Yun and threw it at me causing it to be scattered.

"Now, LEAVE! Leave at my house with your flirtatious Mother!"

I didn't realize that my tears were already falling. I smeared it and shook my head.

"My mom is not like that!" I also shouted at him.

"YOUR. MOTHER. IS. A SLUT?" he emphasized what he said. I was surprised when he fell down and blood came out of his mouth.

I covered my mouth when I saw that Tito was the one who did it.

"You have no respect! You should know what you should avoid, HANZ DE GUZMAN. You have nothing this month. If you don't treat Sapphire as your sister from now on, you won't get an allowance from her. Nothing. you're at the mall, you're not allowed to use a car, you're not allowed to go with your friends. All you have to do is go to school and go home!" Tito shouted angrily.

"This is all your fault! You spoil the appetite, do you know that? If you think about it, you're just trash, eh. It's our bad luck because instead of throwing away someone like you, it ended up with us." Said Hedrix while we were halfway through the flight.

As Tito said yesterday, he was the one who took me to the so-called Krystal University. And Hedrix was still talking constantly with blame coming out of his mouth. Hanz didn't come in just then, it looks like he was hit by Tito's punch.

"ARE YOU LISTENING?!" I was surprised by his cry.

"S-sorry, m-just worried." I replied.

"I don't care! I don't care if you think about something or what, all I want is, leave!" He screamed again as if my eardrums would be torn from the force.

"B-but, Tito said... s-come with me d-right?" I stuttered. He held the bridge of his pointed nose and looked at me in annoyance.

"Get out! Your getting into my nerves woman."

"But I haven't memorized the… the ins and outs of it."

"Find a way. You're probably not stupid. Tss!" He said and went down first.

Oh! I don't know how to open a door. I don't know if I will also come out from where he came out.

*Knock! Knock!*

I turned to the mirror. Hedrix is ​​like a spewing flame. I saw his mouth opening but I couldn't hear it.

"I don't know how to open!" I screamed. He signaled something. But, I can't really hear it.

Until he opened it.

"Are you just there? You don't plan to go out?" He asked angrily.

I shook my head. "I-I don't know how to open." I said making him shake his head.

"Shh, what a provincial girl!" He said and started walking.

When we entered, I was very amazed. It's nice to see inside the school. And as soon as you enter, WELCOME TO KRYSTAL UNIVERSITY appears with very beautiful lettering. There are also trees lined up on the side that you can see are really well taken care of.

"FASTER! Don't tell me you can't walk? Maybe you want me to carry you so we can get to the deans office?" His brow furrowed.

I almost walked just to follow his huge steps.

And finally...he stopped in the elegant room. DEAN'S OFFICE is posted. He entered there so I followed him.

He and Dean talked for a while.

"So you are?" Asked the somewhat elderly woman sitting on the swivel chair.

"Sapphire Sanches Soriano, yes." I answer here.

"Hija, sit here first." I sat in the seat he pointed to.

He asked me a few questions, then he gave me the paper that I felt was all I needed.

"Tomorrow, come straight here and just find joy, my secretary, so you can get your uniform and your section." He says.

There is a poster on his table that says EMILDA S. LAPAS. I said goodbye to him for a while. I immediately looked for Hedrix, but he was no longer in the room.

"It was just there earlier, eh!" I whispered.

I got out, but still nothing.

"Did you look for Hedrix De Guzman?" A woman approached. I nodded. "Here, he gave it." The woman said and handed her a piece of paper with money on it. "They say you took a taxi and told them that's the place. That's the money, that's what you should give. That's right." It added before walking away.

"Wait a minute!" I shouted but he didn't turn around.

I thanked him for accompanying me to the deans office..but now, I don't know where the detours are to get out of this huge University.

"Where is the way to the gate?" I asked a woman. He taught something. When I got there, there was a twist again.

"Excuse me, where is the gate out of here?" I asked the group of women.

"Provincial?" One asked. I nodded and saw their laughter.

"How come? A provincial girl went to Krystal University? Oh, gross!"

"Shh, she doesn't fit here!"

"She's nothing but a provincial, but I think she's a bitchy plus...flirt. That's probably why it got in here."

Everyone murmured. Looks like I made a mistake in asking.

"Ehem..." Everyone stopped. I saw Hedrix approaching. "She's with me. Let's go?" I immediately nodded.

"Oh right? Isn't he a flirt? He flirted with Hendrix to get into the University!"

"Your right! It's flirty."

"Oh Gross."

I was even more inclined. embarrassing.

"'right? I told you, your not fit in our family. Especially at school. If I were you so you wouldn't be bullied, you better leave now." He said. "By the way, I guess you received the paper with money. There's plenty of it, use it. That's all you need, MONEY. Gotta go!" He added and left.

'it's hard to live with the rich.'
