Love in Province (Province Series #1)

Prologue

I am with Ariela and we're entering the cafeteria to have lunch when someone suddenly spilled a juice on my uniform and she just walked away like nothing happened.

"What the hell?!" Ariela shouted.

I didn't move for a few seconds because I'm still shocked. Hanggang sa nag-sink in sa akin ang nangyari.

"Hey!!" Tawag ni Ariela sa kaniya at humarap siya sa amin and started to look around.

"Ako ba?" Tanong niya na parang nang-aasar.

"Who else? Aren't you the one who spilled juice on Ryri's uniform and didn't even bother to say sorry?" Ariela said. She is pissed. Really pissed.

"Ariela, that's enough. I'll just change my clothes," Pagpigil ko sa kaniya dahil maraming estudyante na ang nakatingin sa amin. Ayoko ng eskandalo.

She sighed at tumango na lang.

Aalis na sana kami ng biglang magsalita ulit si Abby.

Lumapit siya sa amin kasama ang mga chaka niyang alalay at humawak sa dibdib niya. Umaaktong nagulat.

"Aww, sorry..." She looks at me from head to toe and then, "not sorry." She added before she turn her back and did the hair flip which makes Ariela really pissed.

"You b!tch!" Sigaw niya at lumapit sa kaniya.

Ariela pulled her hair.

"What the hell?! Let go of me!!" She said while trying to remove Ariela's hands from her hair. But Ariela is holding her hair really tight.

Deserve. Joke!

Lumapit ako at pinigilan si Ariela.

"Hey! Oh my god! Ariela, enough!" I tried to stop her pero ayaw niyang paawat.

Abby's cheap friend starts to pull Ariela's hair na rin.

Aba! This b!tches is really trying my patience huh.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko kaya I throw my bag on the floor and pull Aya's hair.

"Ouch! Let go of me!!" She shouted at sinubukang hilahin ang buhok pero sadyang pinagpala ako sa height kaya hindi niya maabot.

"You deserve it! Ang chaka ng make up mo!" Sabi ko.

Nagtaka ako kung bakit hindi na siya lumalaban.

"What's happening here?!"

That is...Dean Rodriguez.

Abby's dad.

Binitawan ko si Aya at gano'n rin ang ginawa ni Ariela.

She run towards her dad and started to play victim.

"Dean, they are the one who started a fight!" Sabi niya habang maluha-luha pa.

"Shut up! Stop acting like you're the victim here!" Pikon na sabi ni Ariela.

She is always like that. She is always using the 'victim card' kahit alam naman ng lahat na siya ang palaging nagsisimula ng away.

"No, you shut up!" Sabi niya kay Ariela at bumaling sa akin. "She is the first one who spilled a juice on my clothes, gumanti lang ako, Dean!"

Tinuro niya ang damit niya at nagulat naman ako dahil basa rin ang damit niya. Hindi ko alam kung saan niya nakuha 'yon pero everything she said was a LIE!

"Yes, Dean! Abby is telling the truth!" Gatong naman ni Aya.

"Liar! Everyone saw what happened! You're just making yourself stupid!" Sagot naman ni Ariela.
