The Billionaire's Poison Kiss

A strong blow hit my face. I sat down because of the pain it caused.

"Jusko Arden!"

Mom immediately hugged me and examined my whole face. She looks worried and is about to cry a little.

"Get out Martha!" Dad shouted.

"No Roi! That's too bad," said Mom.

My sister just looked at us not knowing what to do.

"Your son is in a panic! He told us to go to the restaurant. But he's at the bar, smoking cigarettes, drinking and I'm sure he's looking for a girl!" He angrily said.

I bowed down because of annoyance. I've been trying not to show my anger.

"Arden? Is that true?"

I stood up and passed them. Dad was about to grab me when Mom intervened.

"Don't talk to Roi please, let him go first," Mom begged.

I rolled my eyes and walked continuously. Dad did nothing but let me go. I even heard the last thing he said to Mom.

"You always feel sorry for that boy! Now look at him, he's growing up stupid!"

I didn't pay attention to that.

When I got to my room I closed the door hard. I lay down on my bed and just closed my eyes. I hadn't been dozing long before my spirit was awakened by the opening of the door. My sister spit it out.

"Happy birthday," he whispered to me.

I nodded and closed my eyes again. I felt him sitting next to me.

"You smoke?" She asked.

"Yes"

I immediately sat down when he hit me with the pillow.

"What's wrong with you, Arzela?" I asked annoyed.

Her eyes widen, "Don't call me Arzela! I'm your sister."

"Never mind," then I laid down the bed.

"Look at your wound, I will treat it," he said. But I ignored him, I kept my eyes closed. "Your classmates will be surprised when they see you like that," he added.

"I don't care."

"Why are you like that Arden? It's not because you're of legal age that you can do everything. When you're 18 should you be smoking? Drinking alcohol? Womanizing? Is that what it's like. Because as far as I know, that's not what a sane person does, " he preached.

"I'm not a sensible person."

"Oh you admit it too, but why don't you want to change?"

"Do not be annoying."

"If you had listened to us, I wouldn't have been yelling like this."

"Please Arzela, leave here," I promised calmly. I heard his sigh.

"Okay fine, just don't go to the bar again," she said before leaving.

I didn't think about what he was saying. I just slept as if nothing happened.

While walking in the hallway I received a call from Ryu. His story is constant about what happened last night.

"Shit bro, if only you knew how good it is," he said on the other line.

"What are you talking about?" I laughed at the question.

"You already know that, hahaha! That Olivia is an expert," he said while laughing.

"Because it's old."

"Hahaha, sorry, he likes me more. He doesn't like children."

"I'm not young," I defended. "If you don't say anything, I'll end the call."

"I'm going to end bro," he said and quickly hung up.

I am a 1st year college, taking up bachelor of science in accountancy in Premier University. Dad chose this course for me. Even if I didn't want to, I couldn't do anything. I would never go to school, because I don't have a dream.

When I got to the classroom, I didn't get in right away. Because I saw that the class was starting. I was stunned when I realized that there was a quiz today.

"Holy shit..." he whispered.

I was just standing behind the door. That professor is still grumpy. I'm sure he'll cheer me up.

That's because! It's my sister's fault because she didn't wake me up early.

"Excuse me?" I was surprised when someone suddenly approached me. My lips parted when I saw the beautiful woman in front of me.

Wow!

"Yes?"

"Is this the room of BSA 02?" She asked.

"Yup, right here."

He peeked inside and suddenly covered his mouth.

"Oh my god, I'm late," she panicked.

"Don't worry miss I'm late too," I smirked.

She faced me with her worried eyes. "What are we going to do?"

"Are you a new student?" He nodded. "Then go ahead, he won't scold you."

Little by little he lost his concern.

"You? How are you?"

"I can handle myself miss," I lied because I honestly don't know what to do.

"Let's go together."

"Huh?"

"Come on, just in case I get scolded I have someone with me," she giggled. My jaws were left open with what he said.

He didn't wait for what I had to say. He quickly pulled me inside. Everyone looked at us so he let go of me.

"Mr. Arden Claverya, you're late," Professor Hidalgo said with raised eyebrows.

"Yes I am," I didn't show my nervousness after saying that.

I couldn't believe that the professor came to us when it was a girl. Instead of focusing on my partner, he looked at me.

"Get out," it ordered authoritatively.

I told you so!

"Sir wait, I'm so sorry he was late because of me," she lied causing me to wonder. But that's okay too, so that this prof won't trip me up more.

"What does this have to do with you miss? By the way I don't know you, is your section here?"

"Yes sir, I'm a new student this 2nd semester," she replied.

"What about Mr. Claverya?"

The woman looked at me first. "He's my friend."

"Then?"

"Because I got lost, then he looked for me," he lied.

What a liar...

"Okay, take your seat Mr. Claverya, and you Miss face the class and introduce yourself," the prof ordered.

I sat down and the woman went to the front to introduce herself. I just watched his every move.

I think she's 5'6 or 5'7 tall, really tall. She's good-looking, she had a shapely figure. Finally, she carries a beautiful smile on her face.

But she's not my type, I prefer a girl up to my shoulders. The girl looks just a little bit taller than me. Maybe it's a volleyball player, or a model?

"Hi everyone, I'm Fern Garnet Alcazar, 18 years old and I'm a new student here. Hope we could get along well," he introduced.

Our classmates congratulated him while I focused my attention on the one next to me.

"Hey..." I simply whispered.

He looked at me with narrowed eyes.

"Wow?"

"What?"

"Geuge mwoya?"

"One more thing, I'm going to kill you," I threatened. It's abnormal because the man next to me is a kdrama addict.

"Hahaha, sorry I was just practicing," he said.

I handed him the test paper that was lying on my desk. He was immediately surprised.

"What is this?"

I ignored him and took his test paper without saying a word. There is already an answer, so I changed mine because there is no answer yet.

"Hey, you're ready," he whispered when he saw the professor looking at where we were.

I just grinned, even if he wanted to take his test paper from me, he couldn't. He was afraid that the professor would catch us.

I just took out my correction tape and erased his name. I changed it to my name.

Now, I'm just gonna chill out. While my seatmate was rushing for an answer.

I'm not a good student, I admit that. I have a lot of vices like smoking, drinking alcohol and maybe that includes women. I'm a liar, asshole and worthless person. Those are the bad habits that I can't resist.

This is my youth and no one else can change me.

"A-arden..." Kesha stuttered. I leaned my body towards her and I lifted her up.

"Put me down, maybe someone will see us," she whispered. But I didn't pay attention to that. I gently made him sit on the sink.

"I want to kiss you," I intimately said. His lips parted, so I started kissing him. He didn't fight back, I just smiled when he followed the movement of my lips.

She wrapped her arms around my shoulders. While I pressed my body against her. The kiss goes deep as hell. My body warmed up and I felt like I wanted more of what we were doing.

"A-arden," she moaned my name when my lips were on her neck. He just put his hand on my head while looking up.

I stopped and stared at him.

"Let's go," I said.

"Where?"

I pointed to the toilet cubicle across from us. I saw how excited he was about my plan. So he immediately got down from the sink and pulled me into the cubicle.

She unbuttoned her uniform while I just stared at her body.

Shit, her body makes me want to fuck her hard.

I bit my lower lip when she started licking her own lips. At that moment I couldn't stop myself anymore. I aggressively kissed her. The kiss turned slowly, deeply and seductively.

I grabbed her hands and pushed her into the wall. Good thing the cubicle is wide, we don't have difficulty moving.

"Uhmmm," she moaned as I bit her lower lip.

"Please Arden own me," she seductively whispered.

I stopped kissing him.

"I have an assignment," I promised.

"About?"

"Accounting standards," I refer to our major subject.

"Okay baby, give it to me later."

I winked, "Thanks..."

I started kissing her neck again. Every touch of my lips is his every moan. So I immediately covered his mouth. Maybe someone will hear him, we are upset.

"Come on! Wrong!"

We both stopped when we heard that cry. Kesha and I looked at each other and it was obvious that she was very nervous.

"What are we going to do?" He whispered to me. I signaled him not to make any noise. He just laughed when I lowered my hand to the delicate part of his body.

"Be quiet," I whispered. She nodded and I suddenly pulled down her panties. I was about to insert my finger into Kesha when someone knocked.

"Is there anyone?" Calling it.

Kesha grabbed my hand and moved it away from her body. He put his mouth to my ear.

"Let's continue this later," he whispered. I rolled my eyes in irritation. That's why I like it!

"Yes, there is someone," Kesha replied.

"Because there is poop in the other cubicle, and the other one is dirty," explained the woman outside.

Kesha fixed the uniform while I sat on the toilet bowl. Maybe you can see my feet.

Kesha sighed, I also noticed her irritation. I grinned because I knew he was hooked.

"I'm going to be here a little longer, you can go to the other comfort room," she said.

"I'm already peeing, I'll wait for you," said the woman outside.

I sighed, "I'm going out."

Kesha's eyes widened. He still shook his head at me, but he didn't do anything when I got down from the toilet bowl. I immediately opened the door and a familiar presence appeared before me.

Fern? He is the new student in our section.

His lips parted as he looked at me. She moved backwards due to surprise.

"W-what-- why are you there?" Incredible question.

I bring out a sullen glance, "Trouble..."

That's all I said and left. I didn't worry about Kesha anymore, it was up to her to explain to that girl.

~

A while ago I noticed that Fern was stealing glances at me. We just sat next to each other so he could see me.

"How many did you get on the quiz?" I didn't feel like asking Moymoy, my seatmate.

"45/50," he answered. "You? How many did I get?" He asked.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

"I thought you were 45? Why are you asking me your score?"

"Didn't I answer your quiz. So I was asking what my score was, now it's your score," he said with a frown.

I silently laughed, "Thanks, I'm 48/50."

He almost cried when I said that.

"Shit! That should be mine!"

"It's mine now."

"W-you have no mercy Arden," he sniffled.

Crazy overacting!

I immediately stood up and patted his shoulder.

"Thank you, I will free you next time," I promised.

"Can I have a concert ticket?"

"Oh? Who has a concert?"

"Henry Lau, that's my favorite singer, you know his song it's you? It was used in the kdrama while you we're sleeping," he said.

I patted his shoulder again and nodded. I started walking out.

"As long as it's free! I'll wait," Moymoy said. I just gave a thumbs up before leaving the classroom.

I hung out outside the classroom. We are on the 4th floor, so from here I can see the rest of the school building.

I even messaged Kesha to take my assignment here. His course is also BSA, but we are in a different section. She's not my girlfriend, she's not my friend either. Maybe just a schoolmate with benefits.

I laughed at that thought.

"Lol!"

The girl beside me caught my attention. My eyes narrowed when I realized it was Fern.

Why does this girl suddenly appear to me?

"What do you want?" I asked with a frown.

Instead of looking at me, he focused on his phone.

"Hey, what do you need from me?" I say it again.

"I'm not talking to you," she said.

"Then who?"

He presented me his phone. I bit my lip when I saw that he had a video call.

"I video called dad," she said. He presented the phone to her again. "Dad? Who is that? Hahaha that's not my boyfriend," he said.

I just moved a little away from him. I wondered what was on his mind right now. Maybe he hates me. Tch!

"Yes dad, I'm fine here, aunty is taking care of me," she happily said. I simply looked at him.

"Always be careful there! Love you," the call ended. He still looked at me so I looked away.

"You," his eyes narrowed. I didn't even look at him. I convince myself that he does not exist. "It just hit Cr hahaha!" He added.

I looked at him there.

"What? You want it too? Come on," I smirked. Instead, he patted my arm.

"I don't shoot people who are no longer virgins," he promised with a grimace.

I scoffed, "I'm virgin Ms. Alcazar."

"Weh? I don't believe it, fool your mom," he promised.

I was stunned by what he said and at the same time insulted. I was about to speak when he passed me. He entered the classroom without even bothering to look at me.

Tch!

I also went in when I saw our prof. This is our last subject. That's why I like it more, especially since we are friends.

"In your own words define economic globalization," said our professor in the contemporary world.

Moymoy raised his hand, "Sir me!"

"Yes Mr. Garcia."

"It is the development of trade systems within transnational actors such as corporations or NGOs," Moymoy answered.

"Very good how about military globalization?"

"Am I still Sir?" Moymoy asked.

The prof shook his head while looking at me. I was immediately nervous.

"You Mr. Claverya," he called me.

I looked at Moymoy who was now sitting. He just smiled at me, I looked at him meaningfully. From under the table, I waved my hand at him. But instead of paying attention to that, he turned his back on me.

"Arden Claveria?"

"Yes sir," I immediately answered.

"Answer my question," he said with authority. I cleared my throat before standing up.

All of the attention is on me, they are waiting for me to answer.

"What is the question sir?" I asked.

"What is military globalization?"

Now I'm doomed, I don't really know the answer.

"Sir..."

"What Mr. Claverya?"

"I don't know Sir," I said without hesitation.

He approached me while everything was quiet. "You don't know why?"

I sighed, "I didn't read my notes."

He arched his eyebrow. "Why didn't you read it?"

"I'm lazy."

"Why are you lazy?"

"Cause I'm not interested," answered without hesitation.

The prof was still calm, just looking at me. I was even surprised when he touched my shoulder and squeezed it. Because his hand was heavy, I could feel the pain.

What is he doing?

"You're really a good student huh?"

"I don't know sir."

"Since you don't know anything about my class, stand in front of everyone," he said irritatedly.

I sighed and followed what he wanted. Well, even if I don't answer him, he will still make me stand up. Because I really can't answer his question.

I stood in front of the class, I was on the edge of the board. I can see the laughter of my classmates.

"The rest of you should be shy. You're in college but your demeanor is still high school. Now, who wants to answer my question?"

"I'm just sir," Fern introduced. I smirked when he looked at me before standing up.

"Okay, by the way what is your name?"

"Fern Garnet Alcazar sir," she replied.

The professor nodded, "Answer the question."

"Military globalization is the process which embodies the growing extent and intensity of military relations among the political units of the world system," he answered while still looking at me.

Is she insulting me?

"Very very good Ms. Alcazar," praised the prof.

I looked away from the class. I looked outside while watching the leaves dance because of the wind.

The prof continued to discuss, the class lasted for an hour. So I also stood for an hour. This is the 3rd time I stood up in class. It's not new to me.

After the class, the prof came to me and scolded me again. Everything he says comes out of my ears and I have no plans to understand.

"Next time you answer me, I won't think twice about kicking you out," he said. I just nodded and he left.

"3 points man!" Harith laughed and patted my shoulder. He was obviously pissed off.

"Tch,"

"Did you enjoy yourself?"

"Yes," I smirked.

He fixed his messy hair. "You're good at it, you're always ugh," he growled.

My fist clenched because of what he said. I force myself not to get angry. So I decided to find my way out. They are blocked by mutual friends.

Harith, Deigo and Ley are the ones who feel arrogant in class.

"Wow, we're still talking," said Ley.

I didn't say a word.

"We saw you earlier, with Kesha," Deigo said.

I grinned because I knew Kesha was a Deigo type.

"So what's your problem?" I asked calmly.

Everyone looked at us, those who were going home stopped when they saw the scene.

"Did you think I didn't know you were flirting with Kesha?" Deigo said.

I sighed, "Get out of my sight."

"What get out," he immediately pushed me after saying that. I suppressed the anger I felt.

What do you think of Kesha? You're just fooling him," he said angrily.

"She's not your girlfriend, right?"

"But he's my friend, and I don't want what you're doing to him."

I scoffed, "What am I doing to him?"

"You're using him!"

"I'm not the one approaching him, he's the one willingly approaching me," I state a fact. It's true that Kesha is the one who approaches me voluntarily.

"Stupid!"

I didn't realize what he did next. He punched me, causing me to sit down. Everyone was surprised by what Deigo did. I saw Ley and Harith restraining him.

"Bro, don't let the teachers catch us here," whispered Ley.

"That's stupid!"

I stood up smiling and patted Deigo on the shoulder. I won't fight him, it's just a waste of my time.

He stopped looking at me angrily as I walked away from them. I immediately took my bag and angrily left the classroom. I still heard him cursing but I didn't pay attention.

~

"Damn hahaha! You have a lot of bruises," Ryu laughed. While Haru was worried about me. We are now behind the school. This is where we hang out because no one can see what we are doing.

"Did you taste bangas from your Dad?" Haru asked.

"Yes, include my classmate's bangas."

"The group of them Harith?" Ryu asked.

"Yup"

They didn't say anything so I changed the subject. "Do you have a yosi?"

Ryu handed me the cigarette. I lit it and quickly smoked it.

I'm the only pure Filipino among us. Ryu Yokohama, he is half Japanese while Jung Ha Ru or better known as Haru is half Korean. But they are fluent in Tagalog because they were born here in the Philippines.

Ryu is in his 3rd year of college, taking up Bachelor of science in Business administration. While Haru is 2nd year college, taking up Bachelor of science in legal management.

"Arden," Haru called me.

I threw the cigarette away and asked Ryu for another one.

"Why?"

"I have a BSA type."

"Oh?"

"I heard that he is your classmate," he said with a wide smile.

Ryu and I laughed at Haru because he seemed to be blushing because of what was said.

"That's in love Arden, he's been teasing me about that girl for a while now," said Ryu.

"Which girl is that?"

"Isn't that a transferee, Haru?" Ryu asked. Haru nodded with a smile. I seem to know the girl they are talking about.

"Maybe it's Fern Garnet Alcazar," I promised. Haru stared in disbelief.

"Wow! Yes she is, her name is Fern."

"You want to score with him?"

He jokingly punched my arm. "You're crazy! It's not my intention to have sex with him."

Ryu and I laughed together. "Is that new?" Ryu's mannerisms.

"What do you plan on doing?" I asked.

He looked away while caressing his hand. I just shook my head because it looked like Fern hit him hard.

"I'm going to date you, and I need your help Arden," he answered energetically. Ryu and I looked at each other.

"What will I do?" I asked.

"Make friends with him, when you are close, introduce me. Let's include him in our circle of friends," he said.
