The Badass Girl in Whitehaven Palace

Chapter 17

"You okay?"

I approached Clive. I've decided to start my mission. I wanted to finish it as soon as possible. I admit I was already attached to them, especially Giovanni. I don't think I do love him, but I admit I like him.

I groaned.

I don't want the idea that I was attached to them. I was a fool for letting myself get attached. I already promised myself not to trust anyone, yet I was so complacent that I wasn't able to notice that I was letting my guard down.

"Do I look like I was okay?"

Napapasagitsit lang ako. Napasandal ako at napaisip. Maybe we can do cutting classes? For me to have some quality time with him.

I groaned when I recall Mr. Silvestre's request.

Right! He only said avoid such trouble, he never said avoid doing cutting classes.

Tsk! It was also a trouble! We'll get in trouble if ever the Supreme Student Council would catch us.

I smirk. "Maybe we can be a bad student for a day? Why don't we do cutting classes?"

He chuckled at what I've said. "You're such a reckless, bad student."

Napapaismid ako sa sinabi niya. Parang siya ay hindi!

He smirks at me. "But who am I to refuse that? I love thrill as much as you do." He winked at me.

Napapatingin kami sa paligid. Nang mapagtantong wala ang SSC members ay kaagad kaming napatayo at nagpunta sa likuran ng school.

"Woah!" nakangising saad ni Clive nang makita ang bote ng alak sa harap namin. "You're always ready, huh?"

I shrug with a smirk, bragging with such bad ideas. "As always. Sa suntok lang ni Giovanni ako hindi nakapaghanda."

Napapatimpi ako nang mapansin ang pananahimik niya. Kalaunan ay napapanganga ako nang malakas siyang napatawa sa sinabi ko kanina.

The fuck? I thought I just crossed the line!

"Buti nalang ay nasapak mo pabalik "

Napapasagitsit ako. "Napagalitan nga lang ako."

"Okay lang na mapagalitan ka basta ay nakasapak ka."

Napailing-iling lang ako sa sinabi niya. Kinuha ko ang beer at itinukod sa gilid ng mesa ang takip para mabuksan. As I strike the metal cap, I whined for the satisfying sound of it, opening the beer.

"You're expert on this, huh?" nakangising saad ni Clive bago kinuha ang kakabukas ko lang na beer.

We had cheered our beers before drinking it. We both whined for the satisfying feeling.

"Why did you think of these?" Clive asked.

I stared at him for a moment. "You're so lonely when I saw you there. Naisip ko 'to para naman ay makalimutan mo sandali ang problema mo."

He smirked at me. "Oh? So you're concerned to me now?"

Napapasagitsit ako bago siya inirapan. Uminom nalang ako ng beer at tumingin sa paligid. Matataas na ang damo rito dahil hindi na natatambayan ng mga estudyante. Dito patagong umiinom ang mga estudyanteng nagc-cutting classes. Dahil masyadong strikto ang SSC President ay hindi na 'to natatambayan.

"Do you really like Giovanni?"

Sa pagtingin-tingin ko sa mga damuhan ay biglaang nagsalita si Clive. Napapatingin ako sa kanya dahil sa walang-kuwenta niyang sinabi.

"What? What joke are you spitting out, Clive?"

He smirks at me. "So, you do?"

"What? No! I don't like him!" I lied. "How many times do I have to tell you that?" inis na saad ko.
