My Elusive Heart (COMPLETE)

MEH Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

“Baby Clandestine!” I panicked when I heard his voice. This guy is really insane and desparate. He even shouts my name.

            Oh yeah, I’m Clandestine Gabrielle Espinosa. I’m 17 years old and no, he’s not my boyfriend. And never be. He is King Ivan Lacson. One of the so-called heartthrob here in campus.  He always follows me everywhere. Accompanied when recess and lunch. And he always drives me in the our compound.

Yeah it’s sweet. I'm not the type of girl who could immediately fall with that kind of gesture. If you'll ask me, I do not want to have a boyfriend. And I dont want to get married.

For me, all men are the same only. My father had a mistress and he left us. Because of that incident, my mom committed suicide. After that, I live with my aunt; thankfully she carried me like her own child. And because of hard work and faith in God, I become a scholar here in the university and the rest of the history. 

I think he thought that I’m Easy-To-Get type of girl. But I’m not. He also said that he will court me until I say yes. He didn’t ask me. He just said it at all. How desparate. I’m not rich and not that beauty. All I have is brain that I can be proud of.

“Baby! Wait for me.” I trembled when he interlocked his fingers on mine. I didn’t know what to do. It was fine for me before. Why does my heart pound so fast? It feels really strange. Do I need to visit a doctor?

“Let’s go?” He asked me and he get my bag. Gosh.

“You don’t need to do that” I said and I get my things again and walk faster as in can because I’m shy. I don’t know why. Maybe because everyone is looking at us and I hate it. I hate attention and sad to say, this guy is attention-seeker.

“Baby, I should carry your things. I know it’s heavy. I should take care of you.” He said while he’s following me. Ugh!

“Look, I can manage okay? And I do not have any disabilities.” I said and enter our room. Yeah, he’s my blockmate. As usual, everyone stared at us like we commit a crime.

“Like I said, I want to take care of you. I’ll marry you in the future. I want my wife to be healthy and happy.” He said and he patted my head.

I narrowed my eyes on him “I’m not yet your girlfriend.”

“Then be my girlfriend.” He said. I didn’t answer back because Mr. Reyes, our proffessor entered our room and start the discussion. Ivan sitted beside me because he said that someone might stole me from him. Crazy isnt it? But I guess, I really felt something weird.

During our break, while Ivan is getting my food, I immediately looked at my side when someone bounded my side and linked arms with me. Oh, my friend Jamaica with her twinnie, Janeeva.

“Hi there Gabby!” They’re calling me Gabby. Most of my friends call me that name. Only Ivan calling me Clandestine.

“Here is your food” I looked up and I saw Ivan smiling at me. Gosh! My heart is pounding so fast again. Ugh!

“Someone is blushing.” Janeeva teasily said. I narrowed my eyes at her. She shut her mouth. Ivan smiled and asked permission to me that he will just buy a drink. I’m not her girlfriend but I just nodded to him.

“Your blushing” Jamaica whispered while Ivan is away. My heart pound so fast again when I heart his name.

“I-I’m not!” I protested. 

“Your stuttering” Janeeva said.  Before I can protest again, Jamaica cuts in again. “You're in love” 

And Janeeva cut in again "Don't deny it. It’s very obvious” 

“If you want to be sure, just make a research. You’re genious enough. But please, you should follow your heart too. Take a risk if needed” Jamaica said it and they left me. I looked at Ivan. Am I in love with him?
