Cupid and I

Chapter 17: Revelation

Nagpanting ang tenga ko sa narinig ko. Kahit kelan talaga ang pangit ng boses niya.

"Just so I thought. Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not surprised," I said not looking at her. I might tear her fake face off if I look at her.

"You're pissed," she said as a matter of fact.

I laugh slightly. "The hell I am."

The people around are starting to form a circle, everyone want a living piece of this fight. Great. Now all attention are on us.

I can easily tell that she's smiling brightly right now. "Then I guess I win this round."

This time, I turn around to look at her. "Not yet baby, not yet. This round is just starting. Don't claim the victory yet."

She shrugged. "Okay. Aantayin ko bawi mo. And as usual, I'll expect much from you."

I went to the president after class. This problem needs to be solve right away. I can't have Felice walking around the campus with her fangs ready to attack someone weaker.

The president, whose promptly seating on his chair, looks at me with a smile on his face. "What can I do for you, Miss?"

"Take those roses away. Now," I said blatantly. His expression didn't give much away but I can say that he's quite shocked by the way I spoke to him.

"And why would I do that?" he said calmly.

"Because I said so," I said with authority in my voice.

He must be a little pissed now but he still smiles. "No offense meant, but to whom am I speaking with?"

"Vivas. Xianne Chloe Vivas. Ring a bell?" It should be or I'll smack him down. I'm too pissed to deal with slow people.

"Ohh..." he said. His lips forming a perfect 'o'. "I see. Titignan ko kung ano magagawa ko. I'll update you."

My eyebrow automatically raised upon hearing what he just said. "Titignan? No. I want you to eliminate those immeadiately. As in now. You can do that, right? You're the president, right?"

He look at me, straight in the eye. "Yes, I am but what you want me to do is a huge thing. Noong sunday lang inilagay at tinanim ang mga roses na yun, and in not less than a week you want us to eliminate them. Masasayang yung pera na ginastos para doon at masasayang yung mga bulaklak. Do you even realize that?"

He said it like I'm so stupid to not even consider those thing. "Of course, I do. But the thing is, I don't care. I can pay you double the price of those waste if you want."

He closes his eyes. Thinking maybe. When he open it, he's smiling again. Tumayo siya at humarap sa bintana. Tanay mula rito ang hilera ng mga bulaklak sa hallway. Some students are even taking pictures with it.

"As you can see, there are many students who actually liked it. We can't just remove them if we can see that it makes students happy."

"And as you can see, there is a student who actually hate it," I noted.

He turns and ask, "Why do you hate it that much?"

"I just hate it. Besides, I hate the idea of losing to someone ugly," I answered. He laughs at my remarks.

"I'll consider," he said. "I'll talk to someone about it. Come back here tomorrow for answer."  

I let it pass. I think I have said too much to the President and the fact that he didn't shout at me for my tone and manner of speaking to him is a miracle. He must have have long patience and excellent understanding.
