My Umbrella Prince

PROLOGUE

HER POV

"Bakit ba ang sungit sungit mo? Ipinaglihi ka ba sa ininit na tubig? Kasi laging mainit yang ulo mo eh!" Martha said.

"Why do you care?" I questioned her.

"Why do I care? Because I'm your best friend." she said assumingly.

"And who said you're my best friend?" I asked her with a bored voice.

"Ako. Best friend mo ako sa ayaw at sa gusto mo. And besides, wala ka namang ibang kaibigan. Kaya nga, be friendly! Wag ipairal ang bitterness, life is fun!" she said so fast that I don't even know a thing.

I rolled my eyes over her and picked my book.

"Dyan ka magaling! Magaling ka magbasa ng libro. Kulang na lang tumira ka sa library. Wala ka ba talagang plano makipagsocialize? Worried lang naman ako sayo. Nahihiya kasing magreach out yung mga kaklase natin sayo. Tapos ang suplada pa ng dating mo. Shiina, ako na lang yung kaibigan mo. Do you want your college life to go on like this?" she said loudly. Gosh! She got a big mouth.

"Will you shut up?" I said firmly while holding the book by both of my hands, covering my face.

"Dyan ka na nga! Bahala ka sa life mo!" she said and turned her way to the door.

I put my book down.

*DO YOU WANT YOUR COLLEGE LIFE TO GO ON LIKE THIS?*

Tss. That girl! Well, who cares? It's better being alone than being with people who aren't trustworthy.

I'm Shiina Ayase Viaroz. And yes, I'm bitter. I'm the daughter of the owner of this University. Yes, the daughter. Tss. I don't even call them Mom and Dad. Anyway, I love reading books and singing. I guess everyone can read and sing so I'm not really someone special and talented. I'm just me. The girl who happened to be rich.

Ano ba yan, nanonosebleed na ako sa mga sinasabi ko!

Anyway, I kept my book inside my bag and left the room.

Tumingala ako sa ulap. It's raining.

I opened my umbrella and about to step under the rain.

"Pashare naman ng payong mo oh. Nagmamadali kasi ako." the guy said to me.

He stood beside me and snatched my umbrella. He started walking and I followed him. Duh! I won't let myself wet. And besides, it's my umbrella. How dare he even touched my umbrella!

"How dare--"

"My mom is in the hospital and I really need to hurry." he reasoned out before I could complete my sentence.

So that's why.

Well, who cares if he's mother is in the hospital? Do I know him?

"I'm really sorry." he apologized.

"It's fine. You can take the umbrella with you. Just bring me in that car over there." I said.

I can't believe myself! Why did I offer my umbrella to him? It's expensive. And besides, what if he won't return it to me?

Well, di naman siguro masama ang magpakabait ng kaunti diba? Kaunti lang naman.

We stop walking as we stood in front of my family car.

I opened the door in the backseat and let myself in.

"Promise ibabalik ko tong payong mo." he said.

"Well you should." I said.

"By the way, what's your name?" he asked me.

"Shiina. Shiina Ayase Viaroz."
