MISS NOT PERFECT

CHAPTER 26

"You're hallucinating" I commented.

He blinked and looked away after his confession. A wrong confession indeed. He stood up and left without a word. Maybe he's ashamed. I shook my head and continued to drink.

This is so boring.

"OMG! I've heard it!" someone shouted and she's looking at me.

I ignored her.

I saw Kerr who looked pissed approaching my direction.

"Bakit hindi mo sinabing pupunta ka dito?"

"They dragged me" I retaliated.

"Sinong kasama mo?" he asked.

I pointed Lea who's still on the dance floor enjoying herself dancing with someone.

"Tsk. Let's go home" he offered his hand on me.

I put my hand on him and we walked towards Lea.

"Wut?" she asked.

She's drunk.

"We're going home" Kerr said coldly.

"Really? Okay" without hesitations, Lea walked with us outside the club.

We're home.

I immediately slacked off my bed the moment I entered my room.

I'm sleepy.

I heard a knock on my door, I got up and opened it.

"Princess"

"Kerr"

"Can I come in?" he asked so I nodded.

I opened the door widely and let him in. He sat on my bed and patted his side asking me to sit beside him. He handed me a small bottle.

I frowned.

"Kunin mo" he said.

"What's this?" I asked as I grabbed the bottle.

"Gamot para sa mga lasing" he said angrily and stood up.

"I'm not drunk" I defended.

What's his problem?

"Tsk. Drink it and sleep" he said before turning his back on me and closed the door.

I shook my head.

I won't drink this. He's mad, he wants me to die? Tss. I placed the bottle at my side table and laid down on my bed. I heard footsteps outside and my door swang opened harhsly.

"Princess!" Kerr ran on the side of my bed.

I sat down and frowned.

"Goodness! Nasan yung gamot? Ininom mo ba?" He asked panicking.

I shook my head.

He combed his hair using his fingers and released a heavy sigh. "Thank God! I'm sorry!"

He pulled me and enveloped me in a hug.

"Sorry! I'm sorry! Nawala sa isip ko yung allergy mo" he whispered while hugging me tightly.

I can feel his body's shaking that's why I hugged him back.

"You're mad at me" I said

"No. I won't be mad at you" he replied while shaking his head over my shoulder. "Never"

I sighed and patted his back. Kumalas siya sa yakap. He rested his hands on his knees and stared at me. His face were just like three inches away from mine.

I frowned.

He just stared at me as if memorizing the parts of my face and then smirked. He stood straight and shook his head and combed his hair using his fingers. He only do that when he is frustrated.

"Magpahinga ka na. Goodnight my, Princess" then he kissed my forehead before he left.

I sighed.

Men are complicated. Tss.

I shook my head and went back to my bed and sleep.

*

Whispers everywhere.

That's all I could hear while walking on the hallway. Glares and angry stares all around me.

I ignored them.

Gossips are like world, it'll keep on spinning nonstop and never ends. The more you defend about it the more it'll get complicated.

"Miks, look at them, what did you do this time?" Lea asked.

"They're just insecure" Kerr said then placed his arm around my shoulder.

I just shook my head. As if I care.

"We'll fetch you later" Kerr said.

I entered the classroom, and again, I received malicious stares.

Tsk.

"She's bad"

I've heard someone says as I passed them by. I sat on my chair and ignored them. All the classes had finished early. I've waited for Kerr and Lea for a couple of minutes, but I've decided to move out when people keep on staring and whispering. I know it's all about me. I'm not idiot. They're really annoying but I wouldn't give a damn.

"Ang bad pala niya, akala ko suplada lang siya, tapos malalaman kong siya pala yung dahilan ng pagkaospital ni Ella."

"True! Ang desperate niya, ginawa niya un para maagaw kay Ella yung Juliet role!"

I shook my head after hearing that. Is that so? I keep on walking but I was forcely stopped by someone who held my arm and forcely turned me to face that person. I'm not surprised when I saw Mr. President.

Silence.

I sighed.

All eyes on us.

I looked at his hand that still gripping my arm and frowned.

"Totoo ba?" he asked.

I didn't answer. I kept my eye on his hand that still holding my arm.

"Totoo ba yung nasa video?"

What video? A scandal?

That word made me look at him. I look at him confused.

"Hindi mo alam?" He smirked. "Hindi mo alam na may nakakita sa inyo kahapon sa park? Bago ka pumunta dito, nagkita kayo ni Ella hindi ba?" He accused.

I sighed.

They didn't know the whole story yet people will judge you on what they only knew. Annoying.

I shrugged.

I removed his hand who's still gripping my arm and turned my back on him.

"Kinakausap pa kita" he said.

"Talking to a person like you is just a waste of time" I said flatly without looking at him and started to walk away.

All people around me watched me as I leave the place where I left Mr. President. And all of them talking about me but I just shrugged it off. I don't and would not give a damn. I hate wasting my time to people who will just say nonsense and uninterested topics.

I am so used to be judged.

I'm used to keep the truth to myself because I once tried to explain my side but no one believed me. I used to defend myself from rumors and scandals I've been included to but no one gave ears to listen. I've learned enough not to care anymore.

"Are you okay?" Kerr ran to me and touched both sides of my shoulders.

I nodded.

"Let's go" he held my hand and went to his car.

I said I don't care but there's always an exception to everything.
