TAMED #1: The Good Boy

CHAPTER 2. Plan

"Why do you hate this place?"

I glared at him. "Bakit naman kita sasagutin?"

Ano bang pakialam niya kung ayaw ko sa eskwelahang 'to? Does it hurt his pride? Does that irk him?

Hindi siya nagpatinag at nagtanong ulit, "Why do you hate me?"

Umirap na lang ako. "Again, bakit kita sasagutin?"

"I'm just curious. Bawal ba?"

Huminga ako nang malalim para pakalmahin ang sarili ko. I want to calm down bago ko pa masipa at masuntok sa gwapo niyang mukha ang lalaking 'to. Sayang naman kung aaksayahin ko ang kagwapuhang hatid niya sa mundo. Pangit na nga halos nakikita ko, babawasan ko pa.

"None of your business."

"Ang sama mo naman," nguso niya. "Kinakaibigan ka lang e."

"Huwag mo 'kong kaibiganin. I'm disgusted."

Madrama siyang napahawak sa dibdib niya. Nagkunwari pang nasasaktan. He even grimaced his face! "Ouch naman, miss."

Inirapan ko na lang siya ulit. Baka nga makikita ko na utak ko kaka-irap sa gwapong 'to. "I'm going home."

"Gusto mo bang ihatid kita sa inyo, miss?"

"Don't."

"Okay, miss."

I scowled at what he called me. "Will you not call me 'miss'?"

It's irritating. I feel like I'm older than him for so many years.

"Ano bang gusto mong tawag ko sa 'yo, miss?"

"Argh!"

The nerve to even emphasize it just to tease me!

"Argh? Parang pirate? Argh?"

Konti na lang talaga bibigwasan ko na 'to. Nakahanda na ang kamao ko para sa mukha niya. He is pissing me off. Big time. Wala na akong pakialam kung gwapo siya. I just want to punch him in the face.

"Holly!" I shouted at him. "Holly na lang!"

"Akala ko ayaw mong tawagin kita sa first name mo. Pero ayos na rin yun. Nasa first name basis na tayo."

Good lord. He is so annoying. Gwapo nga, nakakairita naman. Parang tutamataas ang blood pressure ko sa katawan kung nagsasalita siya.

"Uuwi na ako!" I turned back.

"Miss!" tawag niya pa pero hindi ko na siya pinansin at dumiretso na ako sa labas ng campus.

All the goosebumps in my body popped like a bubble. Are they spraying holy water in the air? Ginawa nilang air freshener?

I didn't go home. I don't like seeing my parents. Lalo na ngayon. Maybe I'd curse them to the depths of hell if I did get a glimpse of them.

Pumunta ako sa apartment nina Mary at Fred, my friends from my former school, Graciana Academy. Sumakay lang ako ng taxi papunta doon.

I am using my savings and the money I earned from modeling. My parents don't give me any allowance and they had the audacity to get me into this wretched situation.

They were against me modeling pero ano bang magagawa nila? I like the job. My grandparents are also supporting me. Anong silbi ng opinyon nilang dalawa?

I arrived at the apartment building kaya inakyat ko na. It was in the fifth floor. A gorgeous morena opened the door for me.

"What happened?" Mary immediately asked. She's the gorgeous morena.
