"Why is it from her? I mean... You shouldn't have worn this when you know that I'm around! And what's worse is... It's your favorite. How dare you" I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms as I got pissed.

"Woah, Chill!" He said. "This is a gift seven years ago! You don't need to feel mad because I still haven't met her recently. You're jealous, right?"

"I am your girlfriend so I have the right to be jealous," I said. "Yes, I'm jealous."

"Oh, Sorry. Shall I remove this then?"

"No, You can't or you'll freeze to death!" I accidentally raised my voice.

"Here you go raising your voice again." He sighed. "I'm sad because you're not the Selena I adored anymore"

"Hey! I am still Selena! I'm just pissed!"

"Just Kidding, Just Kidding. Don't take it seriously." He said. "Let's start practicing now, shall we? We should head to the gym" He held my hand.

"What? In this condition?! Not a chance, Mr. Lopez. I can't let you sweat yourself while you're sick."

"Who is sick?!" Someone was behind me, and Antaios looked shocked.

"M-Mrs Lopez!" I stuttered because I was shocked just as Antaios was.

"I told you not to call me that, Miss Grey. Call me Attorney Lopez. And also, didn't I told you to stop babysitting him?! Do you even have a memory?!" She was angry.

"Mother. Don't you dare underestimate Selena again! I knew you said something that made her quit the babysitting job! She's a great babysitter. Her caring hands are better than yours, Mother." He started to quarrel with his Mom again.

"Oh, Is that so?" Attorney Lopez giggled. "Here, Miss Grey. An invitation."

My vision went dark when I saw the picture of Julianna and Antaios on the front of it. My heart was broken when I saw Julianna Giselle and Antaios's Wedding at the front.

"Selena, What's that?!"

"If you are too shocked, that was the invitation to his and Julianna's wedding. We were business rivals at first, but it wouldn't hurt if you two get along and make a stronger company, right?" She said. "I beg you to stop hitting on him already. That's bad."

"I need to go." I grabbed my belongings. I don't know what to say to Antaios's mother anymore. It's nuptials. I can't do anything now.

"Yes, you must, Selena. His Mother can take care of him instead." She said again, but it pissed me off this time.

"And also, Attorney. I think I don't need this. It'll be a waste if I just throw it." I put the invitation on the table. "Goodbye, then."

"Wait! Selena!" Antaios tried to stand up but his mother held him. I have no choice but to leave instantly.

I walked to the alleyway in front of their house. I started tearing up, and I can't help but cry. I keep wiping and wiping my tears but new tears keep flowing from my eyes. It's just... It's just too unfair. This might be greedy, but I should've been like my friends, too. They treat people like me garbage. They think that I'm not competent in everything. And if I loved someone rich, that means we aren't for each other and that's because I'm not at the same level as him!

I came from the bus stop and was heading home. But I saw Alissa and Katherine together at the seat outside the convenience store. I run into them to greet them.

"Oh, Selena! We finally found you! We went into your house but Dylan said you went somewhere." Alissa said.

"Oh, you guys were finding me? Why?"
