The Scenery In Italia (School Series #1)

Chapter 4

"This is Lucas.. your new personal assistant."

My brows furrowed as I stared at the guy. He was a bit taller than me, his hair was waxed and he looked so clean. But I wondered why I had my 'new' personal assistant. I mean, where's Leah? Nakakapanibago lang na lalaki 'yung PA ko.

"Why? Where's Leah?"

"She will go to their province because her grandmother is sick. Siya raw 'yung mag aalaga since both of her parents are busy," Sir Guillermo told me.

"Okay?" I still didn't understand it.

I glanced at the guy. Wala naman sa mukha niya ang pagiging rapist. But it still made me uncomfortable. Hindi mo naman masasabi ang ugali ng isang tao dahil lang sa mukha niya. I still needed to check his backgrounds.

"I am Lucas Hernandez, Miss Maureen, nice to meet you," He offered me his hand.

"Hmm," I nodded. Hindi ko tinanggap 'yung kamay niya.

When he realized that I was feeling so uncomfortable, bigla niya rin namang binawi ang kamay niya. I gave him a small smile bacause I didn't want to be rude at him. Mukha naman siyang mabait. But as what I had said, hindi pa ako sigurado.

"He will not just be your personal assistant. He will also be your personal driver and your personal bodyguard," Sir Guillermo added.

"I see," I nodded again.

I went home after we talked about my P.A. Lucas was the one who took me here in the house. Kotse naman ni Sir Guillermo 'yung ginamit kaya nakaalis naman siya kaagad. Hindi naman siya pwedeng mag-stay dito sa bahay namin.

I took a shower and wore my pajamas. I was on my bed, thinking about nothing. Tapos naalala ko 'yung damit ni Drix na nasa akin pa pala. But it was all good. Napa-laundry ko naman na siya kaagad kinabukasan. Ang kailangan ko na lang gawin ay ibigay 'yon pabalik sa kaniya.

I was really so dumb! I didn't even saw na may nakalagay pala na 'Ateneo' sa harap ng shirt niya. Kaya pala pinagtitinginan ako ng mga taga La Salle kahapon. I felt like I was a traitor of my own school!

I opened my phone so I could send him a message.

maureencj: do you need your tshirt?

It only took two minutes before he replied.

drxsml: yes, we have our intrams.

maureencj: k, we'll meet na lang tomorrow sa lugar kung saan ka naging tanga. Starbucks.

Mema lang talaga 'yung reply ko sa kaniya. I was really the one who was dumb, I didn't read the sign. Pinatay ko na lang ang cellphone ko dahil ayokong maghintay ng reply niya. I wasn't born to wait!

I stopped when someone suddenly knocked my door.

"It's open!" I shouted. Pumasok naman kaagad si Sabrina. My brows furrowed in confusion when I saw her wearing a tank top. Mukhang may pupuntahan.

"Nag aya si Mizuki sa Xylo, sama ka na!"

"Inom nanaman? Alam mo, konting konti na lang talaga masisira na 'tong kidney natin! Pagod ako ngayon Sab. May pasok pa bukas! Puro na lang talaga inom 'yang nasa utak mo!" I immediately stood up. "Hintayin mo 'ko, magbibihis lang ako."
