It's been like three days since that 'awkward crap at Punder's café' happened. At first, I really can't find a way out of that shell of shame but days later, I managed to finally move on. I can't just accept the truth that almost everyone here in Brampton knows that a nobody like me shouted at the owner of a well-known café—Punder's café. I feel so stupid and ignorant.
"Kath!" Mila and Sophie came rushing to me. I fixed my eyeglasses and arched my left eyebrow. Mila took a deep breath in before speaking.
"How are you?" she asked. I just shrugged my shoulders. "I hate you! You didn't call me for three freaking days!" I sighed. I kinda felt guilty because she's telling the truth. Those days were the days (okay, I know it's redundant and all) where I was put in the middle of hell's dungeon. I felt so ashamed and depressed that's why I didn't talk with my friends for days.
"I'm fine," I said and smiled. "Sorry for not contacting you. I just felt so ashamed because of my dang actions at Punder's café." I crinkled my nose and sighed.
"Silly," Sophie said. "You should've talked to us so that we can get you out of that 'shell of shame and depression'. Don't ever do that crap again, alright?" I smiled.
"Yeah, sorry."
"God, I missed you!" Mila and Sophie said in unison and hugged me tight. I wanted to hug them back but I can't since I'm hugging my books. It's June 1 and I enrolled myself at Irdium Colleges' summer class since it's required for Psychology students. Ugh.
"Uh, let's go?" I asked. Both of them nodded so we made our way to our classroom since the three of us have the same degree program.
"We're too early," Mila said and checked her wrist watch. "It's just 6:15. The class starts at 7:15. Let's go at the cafeteria?" I nodded and put my books on top of my table. We then went out of our classroom and made our way to the cafeteria. The aroma of brewed coffee and the noise of chit-chatting students greeted us first.
"Starbucks?" she asked. I just shrugged my shoulders.
"I want oreo cheesecake," I said.
"Me too!" Sophie agreed.
"Okay then," she said. "Find us a seat and I'll be the one who'll buy our snacks." Sophie and I nodded and looked for a seat. I can say that maybe every student has not eaten their breakfast yet. I roamed my eyes on the whole cafeteria. I was about to give up but my peripheral vision caught an empty table colored in blue. My forehead crinkled, it's the first time I saw that table since every table in this cafeteria is colored in white. I immediately went at that 'special-like' table.
"Hey. The line at Starbucks is too long, ugh," Mila told and put down the black tray she's holding, containing three plates of Oreo cheesecakes and three medium-sized cup containing Summer Berry Panna Cotta Frappuccino.
"So have you found a café you can apply for?" Sophie asked. I heaved a sigh and took a small chunk on my cheesecake.
"Nope. Not yet," I answered.
"Perhaps you should go back at Rique's café," Mila uttered. I rolled my eyes heavenwards.
"No way, Mila," I said. I was about to take a sip on my Frap but someone stopped me from doing it by smashing the table. He was so strong that our cheesecakes fell on our laps and the medium-sized plastic cup containing Frap fell on the floor.
Wow. What a huge mess. All thanks to Mr. DJ.
"What the he—you!?" I shouted and pointed at the guy who slammed its palm against the surface of the table. "Are you following me?" The guy and his company laughed their asses off.
"I'm too handsome to follow an ugly girl like you!" he yelled. I bit my lip when everyone here in the cafeteria laughed. Oh God.
"Hey. Didn't you know that this table is ours?" I arched my left eyebrow and looked at him furiously.
"When did you bought this table, huh? This table belongs at this school, you asshole!" I shouted. Honestly, I was planning to tell 'sorry' at him when I meet him again. But never mind, this guy is a total pain in the ass.
"You don't know?" He crossed his shoulders and glared at me like I'm an imbecile, again. For the second time in my damn life. "Wait, you don't remember this face?"
I sighed, "Fine, Drey. I'm sorry, okay?" I said, trying so hard to sound as I can to sound apologetic—which probably came out bad guessing from how his face looked quite amused.
"So, are we cool now?" His right eyebrow arched. He put his right hand on his chin like he's a genius guy who knows everything about the universe. Eehk. Weird stuff.
"Hmm... Nope, now get out of this table," he said calmly. I exhaled and glared at him. "You won't?" I slowly shook my head.
"Hey, hey Kath. Come on, let's just eat this at our room," Mila whispered.
"Yeah, he's the—" I cut Sophie immediately with a deathly glare.
"No Mila and Sophie! You'll be scared at these guys? These stupid, ill-advised, reckless, imprudent jerks!?" Everyone in the cafeteria ohh-ed. I smirked. Who they think they are? They're just students at here, well plus the money. But I don't care! Not because they got the looks and the money is they'll always get what they want!
"What the hell did you said?"
"Na, na, na, na," I chanted as I play with my identification card. I looked at Drey and he's definitely fuming in anger.
"Damn it!" he cussed. "You'll pay for this you loser!" he shouted and walked out with his friends but a guy wearing a black and white shirt, dirty white pants and a white Converse. He shook his head and smirked at us.
"You just messed with the son of the owner of this school, ladies," he said and left us. I bit my lip and looked at Mila and Sophie.
"Ugh." I messed my hair in frustration and groaned. Mila then slammed the table using her fists. "What's with that?"
"That's the sound of doom for the three of us," she said. "Come on, we're going to be late at our first subject," she said and grabbed her bag. Sophie did the same thing and walked with Mila.
"Dang it," I murmured and followed Mila and Sophie.
Seriously life? Are you playing with me?
Well then, I have a game for you. Two words, five letters... screw you.
"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 d
"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
