Finding My Safe Space

Chapter 3

I felt so stressed because of the things that happened during the foundation week that's why I decided to go to the spa muna on the weekend. I was planning to invite mom pero may important meeting pa raw sila sa company so I had no choice but to go alone.

I also shopped some clothes and skincare products, pati na rin 'yong supplies ng pet dogs ko. I did that the whole Saturday and when I went home ay malaki ang ngiti ko dahil nakapagrelax na rin ako the whole day.

But that went down the drain when I saw him pagkarating ko sa bahay. And he's with tita ninang so I needed to act sweetly. So annoying!

"Hi," he greeted with an obvious mocking smile.

I just rolled my eyes bago hinarap si Tita Ninang ng nakangiti, narinig ko naman ang mahinang pagtawa niya.

I excused myself after few minutes of exchanging words with Tita. I need to change clothes na kasi.

"I'll just go to my room lang po." I smiled.

I was about go upstairs when I noticed him following me. Tss, what now?

"What?" Inis kong tanong sa kanya.

"Huh? Pupunta lang ako sa balcony." He pointed the right side of our mansion while smirking.

Tss. Balcony his face!

"Whatever." I murmured before going inside my room.

How annoying! He's like a pest talaga!

Pagkatapos magbihis ay bumaba ako, I got hungry kasi so I decided to get some food. I can call Nana and ask her to do it for me but hindi naman ako gano'n kapagod para mag-utos. When our househelpers saw me ay agad silang lumapit para tanungin ako. I just say what I wanted before sitting on the sofa.

Maybe the pest went home na. I was about to take a deep breathe when his laugh echoed from the hallway. Ewan ko rin kung sino katawanan niya do'n, I doubt that it's my dad.

Argh! Why won't he go home and just leave Tita Ninang here kasi? I rolled my eyes and took my phone out to relieve my bad mood.

I scrolled on my social media accounts. I have two hundred thousand plus followers on ig as of the moment, I'm still popular but not that popular like those people on showbiz.

I sighed while scrolling through my feed, I think I need to post something na. I kept on scrolling hanggang sa may mapansin akong isang post. The post was made fifteen minutes ago and I sneered when I saw what it is about.

Is CYD Diaz dating the Drama Princess Florence Pineda?

Wow. I suddenly want to laugh. A dating rumor? O baka naman truth? I really don't know and I don't care. Pero, it's a little bit funny.

Crispin is dating someone? Really? With that personality and attitude of him? And it was just days after he arrived. Anyway, marami nga palang patay na patay sa kanya. Even my freaking classmates! Ano kayang reaction nila if I tell them what that freak did to me in the past? Hmm. Sounds like fun but I'm not into things like that. I hate revenge 'cause I'm not that low.

Tumayo na ako at pumunta sa kusina. I opened the refrigerator because I suddenly want to drink something cold. I was drinking silently while laughing about his dating rumor inside my mind when a memory strucked my mind.

Eww. Why did I forget that? Why did I forget that he's a freaking playboy in highschool? Na hindi nga naman talaga imposible na magkaroon siya ng relationship even just after days of arriving here? Gosh. I've even heard that he already kissed lots of girls during our last year in junior high and I even heard rumors of them doing that shit, you know what I mean. But I don't know. There's just a part of me that didn't believe those things that time. Ayaw ko kasing maniwala sa sabi-sabi, hindi ako gano'n kababaw.
