"So, I'm starting to ask myself what else are their properties," I sarcastically said as I play with my ballpen. It's been like 5 minutes since Ms. Yda Go dismissed the class.
"You really want to know?" Sophie asked as she plays with her iPhone.
How I want to have an iPhone.
I sighed, "You seriously don't know how to detect sarcasm on someone's sentence." Sophie put down her iPhone and looked at me. "But, well. If you know and if you could share what you know. Why not?" I said, raising my hands and doing these weird as fuck gestures I do whenever I feel worried and… you know, ashamed of my stupidity.
Fuck it, Kath.
Why are you so indecisive?
"Well, aside from this school and Punder's café. They own Chicklit—a well-known shop for dresses, outfits, shoes and accessories for ladies and women. They also own Crust—a famous restaurant for its delicious Pizza. I think they have at least 20 chains in Brampton and 34 in other cities. They—" I immediately cut her by putting my index finger on her lips.
"I don't want to hear it anymore," I said and messed my hair. "Freaking oreos, it's frustrating me." I sighed.
"Oh my God, Kathrina?" I tilted my head on my right and there, I saw Lyza with her friends. I honestly think she'll be a model someday, or Hollywood's daughter (what I mean is a young actress at Hollywood). Who knows?
"Uhm, hi," I said and waved my hand shyly. I feel so ugly when I see her. She's so beautiful and all. She smiled at me.
"I just want to say sorry in behalf of my boyfriend, Drey," she said with a timid smile. "I swear he's always hot-headed but he's really a good guy. He may be a pain in the arse sometimes but I swear, he's kind." I rolled my eyes heavenwards mentally. Yeah, yeah, he may be a pain in the arse. Quack, quack. Tss.
I tried to show a genuine smile at them and I hope it worked.
"Uhm, it's fine," I said. "He's so lucky to have a girlfriend like you." Lyza chuckled.
"You mean, I'm lucky to have him as my boyfriend," she said.
What the freaking oreos. That's just the same. Is she high or something?
Why am I even feeling irritated?
"A-ah, yeah." I faked a laugh. "Anyway, you're a Psychology student too?" I asked."Uhm, nope," she said. "Actually, I really came here to give this box of cookies to Sophie so that she can give it to you as our peace-offering." She showed a red box that has a big pink bow on its top. Honestly, my heart was touched.
"Aw," I said and smiled. She gave me the box and showed me a very genuine smile, of course I accepted it. "Thank you for this. What's your degree program, by the way?"
"Law," she said. “Yeah… I’m actually kind of old now,” she said, laughing.
"Wow," I exclaimed with a smile. Lyza smiled back at me and checked her wrist watch that has so many diamonds, I can't count 'em all.
Privilege.
I wish everybody has access to it.
"Anyway, I'm sorry but we need to go. We might be late at our class, see ya!" she said and went outside of our room. I looked at Sophie who's currently checking her newly polished nail.
"She's rich?" I asked.
"Filthy rich," Sophie said. "She's a daughter of a multi-billionaire." My eyes enlarged.
"Wow. I feel so small and cheap," I told and bit the end of my ballpen.
"Hey, guys. I'm back," Mila uttered and sat at the chair beside me. I just smiled at her and closed my eyes. "Hey, cookies! Can I have some?" I nodded and gave Mila the box of cookies. I feel so weak, depressed and sad. Imagine, my friends can afford an iPhone, a sushi platter or whatever expensive but me? I can't even buy myself a decent blouse from a mall nearby my apartment. Eehk, that creepy apartment. I'm just thankful to my brain that it's quite intelligent and I passed Irdium Colleges' scholarship test.
Minutes of chit-chatting had passed and a handsome guy wearing a tucked-in, violet longsleeve with a purple necktie entered our room. He looks like a god that came down from Mt. Olympus to show his sexiness. Ugh. I think this is love at first sight.
"Your mouth, Kath," Sophie said and pushed my jaw upward.
"T-thanks," I said. This is the first time I saw a hot teacher like him.
"Okay class. I'll be your teacher for this hour. I'm Janthony Go but you can call me Professor Jane." My eyes enlarged and I swear every girl that is containing their orgasms almost shouted at our professor for being a... gay.
But anyway, what’s wrong with that? We all have our preferences and choices. It’s a free world.
**
"He's a trap! A trap!" my anime geek bestfriend—Mila, said as she dips her nachos on its sauce. She was so affected that she even doodled the name of Professor Janthony on her notebook with a big and bold T R A P on every side of the doodle.
"Will you please stop, Mila? You're getting annoying," Sophie said as she swirls her fork on her carbonara.
"Annoying? Am I annoying to you, Kath?" Mila asked. I sighed.
"I need to say yes," I said. "Just eat your nachos and shut up, alright?" I said irritably. It’s lunch time and we're here on a restaurant who serves quality and expensive meals. And yes, it's my first time to eat in here.
Mila pouted, "I hate you!" I chuckled and shook my head. I was about to sip on my lemonade juice's straw but then my ears heard a booming cackle that echoed in the whole restaurant.
"Why is he here?" I asked. "Don't he have his own café and restaurant?"
Sophie swallowed the Carbonara inside her mouth and sipped on her Lemonade juice. She was about to talk but the king of the jerks slammed the table (but not that really powerful unlike the other day that made our foods fell on the table down to the floor) and left a five-dollar bill.
"The three of you can't understand huh?"
"What? That you're the king of jerks and dirtballs, huh? We do understand that, Mr. Drey 'king of jerks' Jackson Punder," I said and smirked.
The game's just starting, king. It's now or never. I swear you'll regret messing with me, asshole.
"Hah!" he said. Sounding like an arrogant man. Oh, wait... he's really arrogant and dumb as eff. "Go on, missy. Just keep on blabbering about me being a jerk and I won't give a single damn." He smirked and looked at me like he won a million dollars by arguing with me. I rolled my eyes heavenwards and arched my left eyebrow. “Is that all you can do, Drey?” "What's happening here?" Lyza came rushing and immediately wrapped her hands around Drey's arms. Well, they do look cute together. But then, I just realized. A demon and an angel? What the heavens. "Tell your boyfriend to shut his mouth and leave me and my friends alone," I hissed. I wasn’t going to back down, of course! I mean, I know I was wrong for being too indecisive, but for him to continue his tantrums like this? Is he a grade-schooler? "What did you do this time, babe?" Lyza asked. Ugh, babe? Are they pigs? Drey sighed and glared at me, "I was
Three weeks had passed and I can finally say that my life became peaceful than ever. Well, not really since not having enough money for the stuffs I need to buy is stressing me out. Though, my friends are always there by my side and can immediately hand me a $10,000 when I ask for it... I'll never do that. I did not befriend them just because they're filthy rich or whatever.It's just that, they’re the only ones who accepted me for who I was despite my family background.I’m not rich, I was just thankful I could work my ass off even when I’m studying that’s why I can still feed myself. My parents were already old when they had me; being responsible was one thing they made sure of when I grow up. I wasn’t much of a nuisance… minus the anger management issues, I’m pretty fine to handle."Are you fine, Kath?" Sophie asked and put her ball-point pen down on the wooden table. I sighed and grabbed one oreo from its pack
Seriously, I don't know what to do with my life anymore.Weeks had passed (again), and the summer class will end this week, thank God. But I seriously can't concentrate knowing that Drey's always following me around. I don't even know why! Is he even thinking about what his girlfriend would feel? If I was his girl--Oh, what the hell Kath.I've also been trying to find a decent job all over Brampton but I couldn't find any cafes or restaurants that may accept me... except Red Velvet's. But I can't apply! Knowing that I've had done so many crazy and awful things in that cafe."You know Kath. Just come back to Rique's cafe," Mila said as she chooses a drink from the vending machine. "I'm sure that Rique will accept you.""But are you sure that he'll treat me well?" I said and took a sip from my coffee."He likes you," Mila said. I rolled my eyes heavenwards."Like me? Come on, Mila," I said."He just can't show it to you properly, Kath,"
Again and again. Another day of Mission Impossible: Try to ignore Drey--not.Why will I ignore the guy who just gave me oreos yesterday and made me cry?Please notice the sarcasm, I'm begging."Hey, Kath." Sophie nudged my arm and pulled my hair. I glared at her and grabbed the can of Lays she's holding. "Hey, that's mine!" she hissed.I rolled my eyes heavenwards, "who cares?" I said and ate 3 pieces of Lays at the same time."Ugh," Sophie groaned and stood up. "Come on, Kath. If you have a problem then tell it to me." I closed my eyes and sighed.I don't have a problem.I have problems.Singular differs from plural words, that's why."Kath." Sophie sat beside me again and sighed. "Okay, if you don't wanna tell, then don't. Don't force yourself, just remember that, we're here. Okay?" She smiled.I took a deep breath in and smiled, "okay," I said."Oh, I need to go," she said as she checks her phon
The summer class has ended a day ago, but still, the pain hasn't. Things are getting absurd and I really don't like what's happening to me.And us.If I just didn't meet that guy that life could be much easier for me.But destiny makes its way to ruin my life."Just one more day," I said to myself. Of course. Just one more day of freaking pain and I might just burst out.Good thing the summer class has ended and all I need to do is to work at Red Velvet's the following day.I took a deep breath in and entered my room. It was peaceful and quiet and peaceful again.Why can't my life be like this room?I sighed and sat on the edge of my bed, then, brought out my Psychology book. I've got the books to explain what's happening to me, but why can't I accept the fact that I have fallen in love with Drey?So deep, so hard, that I cannot even stand on my own feet. It was too fast. I don't know what to do.
"One cheesecake coming right up!" I said and heaved out a huge sigh. Working in Lyza's bakeshop is killing me. I never thought that she'll mess up with my life like how his boyfriend did to me.I can't blame her, tho."I don't need lazy waitresses in my cafe, Kath.""I-I'm, I'm doing everything!" I said, trying to control the pitch of my dang voice. "I just need a break, Lyza. Please," I whispered, almost sounding like a young girl trying to convince her mother to buy her a new toy.One of her eyebrows arched as looks at me, "You want to take a break?" she asked and crossed her arms. I sighed and closed my eyes then shook my head."Good," she said. "You know what, Kath? I want you to suffer the way my heart suffers." Lyza turned her back to me and all I can do was stare at her back, trying to ignore the tears that fell down from my eyes."Where the hell is the cheesecake?" I shook my head and mentally cursed myself for how stupid I am becaus
I probably deserved a pat on the back when I refused Drey. Me? Cheat with him? I know within myself that I like him, but I was not that stupid to stoop that low. I was keeping everything to myself, and he comes into the picture admitting he liked me, too.It wasn’t my fault for him to feel that way. I was trying my best to avoid him! And I was not even doing anything for him to reciprocate what I was feeling back then…I know my limits and I will never cross that line.I really need to graduate and leave this town in peace.Everything just feels like a disaster, for real.Tears could not stop falling from my eyes as my friends try to pacify my feelings. I was partly crying because of the feelings I had for Drey. I knew it was a dumb mistake to let myself fall for him; I knew it was my choice. I have always known how badly we’d end up if I choose to become selfish and turn my back against the world just for him.&l
I blinked.Once. Thrice. Until I could not even count anymore. There were no vacancies around Brampton, but I guess it was just because I was labeled as the town homewrecker. It was so obvious that even restaurants that seemed desperate for a worker denied my application.Great.Way to save their asses and sacrifice one’s life.I reached for my keys inside my purse and walked inside my apartment—tired and unaccomplished. I looked as if the god of disaster went down on me, and I could not even complain.Honestly…I can’t even complain freely. It’s as if I feel like I even have to pay when I try to complain about my situation with another disaster yet again.It just keeps on piling up.Fuck this world.I get tired, too. You know?I sighed as I check my phone for new messages. Mila and Sophie are probably busy since both of them went out of town to unwind. It would have been ni
