The Badass Girl in Whitehaven Palace

Chapter 2

As I opened the door, a pair of eye directed to me.

"Sa'n ka galing?" my boyfriend asks.

I smirk at him. "Naglakad-lakad lang."

Napailing-iling siya sa naging sagot ko. He knows me well to believe me on my lies at him.

Weeks had passed and nothing had changed. Bukod sa walang-wala ako, nakikitira parin ako sa condo ng boyfriend ko.

"Gotta go," pagpapaalam ko. I was about to walk towards the door when Mason stopped me by holding my hand.

"Sabay na tayo."

Sabay kaming lumabas ng condo at sabay kaming sumakay ng bus. He's already 21 years old but his parents forbid him to drive on his own car. For a valid reason, I don't want to interfere.

We parted ways when we reached the gate. I am a 2nd year Tourism student while he is a 3rd year Law student. Malayo ang department niya sa amin kaya kahit gusto niya akong ihatid ay hindi puwede dahil male-late siya.

I sneered at the thought of him escorting me to my department. Ang cringe siguro no'n! Parang possessive ang dating. Ayoko no'n! I don't want someone being possessive on me. And Mason knows that.

Siya ang nagpapaaral sa akin this school year kaya tiklop ako pagdating sa kanya. Baka itigil ang paggastos sa akin.

Gusto kong magtrabaho pero mas nangibabaw ang kagustuhan kong maglakwatsa.

I smirk.

"I wanna be a billionaire, so fucking bad..." I sang as I walk freely at the hallway.

"Kiddo?"

Napatigil ako sa pagkanta nang marinig ang boses na 'yon.

"Kiddo!"

Napanganga at napakurap-kurap ako nang makita ang lalaking napagkamalan kong magnanakaw ilang linggo lang ang nakalipas.

Putangina! Kapag minamalas nga naman, oh!

Umaakto akong hindi siya nakita at dahan-dahang tumalikod.

"She's the one you are referring to? The girl who mistook you as a fucking thief?"

I winced when I heard what the other guy had said. Mukhang naaalala niya parin pala.

Mabilis na akong naglalakad pabalik sa nilalakaran ko pero habang pabilis ako nang pabilis ay pabilis din ng pabilis ang boses sa likuran ko.

"Kiddo! Hey, wait!"

"Putangina!" mahinang mura ko bago tumakbo.

Hingal na hingal ako habang pumapasok sa isang cubicle. I know they can't enter in the girl's restroom so I made my way here.

Ah, what a fucking genius, Aaliyah!

Nang ilang minuto na ang nakalipas, I stormed out of the restroom. I was alive and energetic as I thought I had misguided them.

"What took you so long inside the cubicle?"

Halos ilang daang mura ang pinakawalan ko nang may magsalita pagkalabas ko ng restroom. Napasagitsit ako nang makita ang lalaking napagkamalan kong magnanakaw.

What do I have on this day for me this unfortunate?

I was about to run again when he immediately hold me on my hand. I glared at him before speaking. "I won't run, okay?!"

"Who knows?" He just shrug before letting me go. "You're unpredictable enough for me to believe on your words."

Matatag ko siyang hinarap, nakapamaywang. "Did you find me to let me apologize to you?" I scoff, not letting him talk nor defend himself with my accusations. "Sorry but I think you'll fail on that part. Saying sorry is not in my vocabulary."
