I Hate You, Lover (ON HOLD)

Chapter 12 "Help"

It's currently 4:15 at kakatapos lang ng classes ko, nauna ko nang pinauwi sila Zathrian dahil may bibilihin pa ako sa boutique.

I'm picking out a dress for my father's birthday this weekend,

Hindi ko talaga balak pumunta pero pinilit ako ni Zathrian.

To give our Dad a chance daw and if it
doesn't workout then fuck it.

I was headed to my car when I saw Miss Vandestine at the other side of the parking lot.

Papunta na din siya sa kotse niya. I saw her drop her things kaya nagdali dali akong pumunta para tulungan siya.

"Morelle what are you doing here?"

"Ah pauwi na po sana ako tapos nakita po kita eh." I said while looking on the ground, picking up her stuff.

She didn't respond just helped me pick her things up.

We both stood up at the same time.
"Miss oh." I said handing her, her things.

"Thank you." She stared at me for a moment. Muntik ko pa ata siyang nakitang ngumiti pero biglang nawala yun nang may maalala ata siya.

"Aalis na po ak-"

"Before you go, do pwede ba na makausap kita about something."

Muntik pa akong matawa dahil sa hirap niyang magtagalog.

"Ano po yun Professor?"

"I wanted to talk to you earlier about being my TA." She stared at me with eyes of hope.

"TA? As in Teachers assistant po?" I asked, she couldn't be serious right?

"Yes, you seem to be an efficient student so I'd like you to be my assistant."

"Pero po-" Hindi nanaman niya ako pinatapos.

"And you can't say no kasi ibabagsak kita." She said.

I looked at her with wide eyes.

"What?! You can't just do that! Po!"

"Then be my assistant so you won't get bagsak!" She said like a toddler starting a tantrum.

I thought about it for a second.

I mean it wouldn't be that bad right? That way if ever I have a mission at this school again I can easily have access to the files and information I need.

'Right'

"Okay Prof, I'll be your TA po." I smiled at her proudly.

She held herself high with authority. "Good girl, now get home safe Milaya."

I almost didn't know how to react to her endearment but I kept my cool and tried not to seem affected.

"Okay Prof, ikaw din po."

I walked past her without looking back but I can feel her looking at me which made my face red even more.

'Wtf Vlanca pull yourself together!',

Nang makarating ako sa kotse ko ay agad kong tinignan ang kuka ko sa sa salamin.

"Ano ba Vlanca!" I said to myself.

I slapped my cheeks multiple times to get the redness out of it."

"Snap out of it."

When I finally calmed myself down ay nag start na akong mag drive paalis ng school, when I noticed Professor Vandestine's car behind me.
