Meeting Cinderella • Darren Espanto

⭐️ eleven // the 'date' ⭐️

// margo //

I feel like being b*tchy today. Darren just totally dragged me out of my 'supposed to be' date with Grae so that he could have his supposed to be date with me.

Well, ganun ata talaga pag maganda. Pinag-aagawan ka ng marami.

But I guess it's a good move cause I'm still with Shawn. Maybe... I guess. I don't know really. I miss him a lot, but we haven't been communicating that much since the past few weeks.

"Where to first?" He raised a brow at me, putting his arm over my shoulder.

I shooed it away, but he put it back. Asshole. "Well, ikaw humila sakin dito so you're paying for everything."

"Sige ba. I'm rich, remember?"

"I didn't need to know that." I rolled my eyes.

"Seryoso nga, saan mo gusto?"

"Ewan ko." I glared at him. "Magpplano plano ka ng date- ew- tapos di mo alam kung saan ako dadalhin? Jeez, Darren."

"Uy, nag expect siya." He poked my sides, making me flinch a bit. "I'll just let you pick."

"If you say so." I stopped, flipped my hair, then walked ahead.

I- este we pala- went to the dep store since I think this is the only part of the mall that has branded stalls. Gosh, ang poor ng mall. They can't even afford to have separate stores for these!

Inuna namin? Hermes. "This or this?" I pointed. He didn't say anything. Sige lang haha!

"This or this?" Yet again, he shrugged, completely uninterested.

Ang daming nakatingin samin. Puro mga hampaslupa na nakasuot ng damit na galing Divisoria. Dep store pa, if they're lucky.

[masakit po talaga magsalita si margo kahit ako nga tinatamaan e haha! character niya lang po yan, di po ako ganyan sa totoong buhay hihi]

"Hi miss, magkano po to?" Said this poor clown na feeling mayaman. May gana pa siyang tarayan ako ah, wow lang!

"15,000 nalang po yan ma'am! Originally 60,000, naka 75% off po ngayon kasi sale."

Terrified, I put the bags back on the stand. Sa lahat ng ayoko, pinakaayaw ko talaga ay yung sale. I believe that sales are for the poor people. It makes me feel poor, na umaasa lang ako sa discounted items. I never buy discounted items. Unless I really want it and there's no stock, well then I have no choice.

"I'll take it." Pasosy pang sabi ng clown na to, purposely fanning her 15 individual 1,000 peso bills as she looks at me. I looked back, completely disgusted. Ito pa. Ayoko sa mga taong feeling mayaman. Sabi nga nila, if you don't have it, then don't flaunt it.

And hello, kung magmamayabang ka na nga lang, keep it to yourself. Siguraduhin mo munang may maipagmamayabang ka talaga.

She paid the cashier, taking her bag and smirking at me. Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay. "Puro ganda ka lang, poorita naman. Di mo afford kaya boyfriend mo nalang magbabayad?" Ang sabi niya.

What the hell did this girl just say?! "Excuse you, I can buy 10 of those bags, kahit walang discount. Kaya wag kang feeling diyan. Hindi ka maganda, wala kang karapatan manira ng mas maganda sa'yo."

"Anong sabi mo?!" Hinampas hampas niya ko ng Hermes niyang discounted. "Napakaarte mong gaga ka!"

"Okay lang na maglanding yang discounted mong bag sakin, I just don't want your filthy little hands on my skin." I retorted. I scrutinized every inch of her body. Lahat ng suot niya fake. Maliban nalang siguro sa bag niyang discounted. "Cat fights are for cheap people na katulad mo."
