The Badass Girl in Whitehaven Palace

Chapter 9

"Ano 'tong narinig kong nag-away daw kayong dalawa sa gym? Hindi na ba talaga kayo magtitino? Away dito, away doon! Goodness! You are fucking a Silvestre! You two were one of the inheritors of the school! You should be the role model and yet you two were fighting?! Ano nalang ang masasabi ng mga board? Na imbes na kayo ang role model ay kayo pa mismo ang nag-aaway sa school?!"

Napapangiwi ako. Why do I have to fucking hear all this shits?

We are at Mr. Silvestre's study room. Mr. Silvestre forced me to be in the room while he was talking to Gio and Clive. He wanted me to listen to their words. He wanted me to listen to their fucking explanations, both sides.

Mr. Silvestre was standing in front of them while the two, Giovanni and Clive, were seating on one of the couch, heads bowed down.

"Clive, ano na naman 'to?"

I saw in my side how Clive angrily gritted his teeth. "Ako na naman?"

"Bakit? Hindi ba? Ilang ulit ka na bang naglalakwatsa, dinadamay mo pa 'yong kapatid mo kahit wala naman siyang ginawa!"

"Fucking bullshits, dad!" Clive suddenly stood up and punch the couch near him.

My eyes immediately widened at his sudden action and was left open-mouthed.

"When do you plan to fucking hear my side? Ano, si Giovanni lang ang anak mo rito? Anak mo rin naman ako dad pero hindi mo ako pinakinggan sa side ko! You never have the gut to hear my side! How am I be able to explain myself to this shit if you never have the will to listen to me?"

"I listened to you, Clive! I have my own ears and eyes on your every action and for fuck's sake, I didn't find any of it acceptable! Your reasons are always unacceptable! How am I going to take your side if you're being like that? Try to act like a grown-up man!Try to fucking see the every angle, both sides of the story, and decide based on what you believe the best thing that we would do, and then you'll see me siding on your side!"

Silence immediately filled the room. It was suffocating like we aren't breathing for a minute!

I looked at Giovanni's side and saw he was still bowing his head a little, in a gritting teeth. Napatingin kami kay Clive nang biglaan siyang napahagalpak ng tawa.

"And you want me to believe that?"

I saw how a trace of disappointment appeared on Mr. Silvestre's eyes. The moment Clive laughed at his words, he's hopeless.

"Mr. Silvestre..." Clive trailed off, smirking at his dad. He little by little neared at him. "I feel like I was just talking to my Dean." He then playfully smirked. "Right! When did you ever act like a dad---"

Giovanni and I immediately stood up when we saw how Mr. Silvestre gave a backhand on Clive.

Clive, who was still splaying a bit, just laugh. He then massaged his jaw, moving it in a circling motion.

"Now, you are being an abusive father---"

"Clive---" Giovanni was trying to stop Clive on saying a fucking hurt words toward his father, but Clive was fast enough to interfere Giovanni.

"When did I told you to fucking interrupt?"

"Clive Ryan!" malakas na sigaw ni Mr. Silvestre. He then sat down on his seat, massaging his temple. "I don't know now what to fucking do with you, Clive."

"You don't have to do anything. I never said you have to do anything---"

"Did you know what Giovanni had done just to fucking help all of you? Just to fucking prioritize you and your fucking happiness?"
