Two Different Worlds

Chapter 3

I snoozed my alarm for another 5 minutes. I'm probably gonna be late today but damn, I still feel sleepy and tired. I was about to close my eyes to extend my sleep when the doorbell rang.

I'm gonna kill Margot.

The doorbell kept ringing. I rushed to the bathroom and freshened up a bit. I grabbed my jacket and wore it to cover my sleeveless shirt. I found my way downstairs and I can still hear the doorbell. I screamed, "I'm coming!"

I went right straight to the front door and I was ready to scream at Margot's face. But as soon as I opened the door, my jaw dropped to the floor. I was shocked. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

"I needed to make sure you're awake. I kept you up late last night." Tyler was smiling as he told me those words.

I felt my face turn red as I realized that I'm only wearing a sleeveless shirt under my jacket and that I'm only in my pajamas.

"I thought you were Margot." Was all that I could say.

"I brought you breakfast." He said, raising the paper bag he was holding. "And oh, did I wake your parents?"

"No. No. They're not here." I unconsciously said.

I can still feel my cheeks turning red and hot.

I decided to open the door wider and signaled him to come in. He stepped in and tried to find his own way to the kitchen. I went after him.

"Here you go." He placed the paper bag right on top of the table and arranged everything.

"I- I'm just gonna go upstairs and get myself ready. Go ahead and help yourself." I told him and showed everything in the kitchen.

Halfway through the staircase, I shouted, "Feel at home!"

"Yeah! Thanks! I'm gonna be fine down here!" He shouted back.

I don't know why but I'm pretty sure that I'm panicking right now.

I grabbed my phone. 4 missed calls and a text message from Margot.

Ugly Margot: Where the hell r u

I called her back.

"Yo Ms. Victoria Galang! I'm glad you called back. It's 7:50 and you're supposed to pick me up today because you told me so. We have classes at 8. Where the hell are you?" She screamed as she answered her phone. Oh my gosh! I totally forgot that I'm picking her up! Wow, just wow.

"I woke up late. I really am sorry! Can you come to school without me? Please? I'm going to explain everything to you when I get there." I panicked.

"Why the hell?!"
"Just please, I'll tell you later!"
"Fine, fine. See you. Just make sure to get your lazy ass off to school." She told me and we ended the call.

I rushed to the bathroom and for a moment, I thought I was as fast as Flash. Damn.

After 15 minutes (I swear that was the fastest bath I've ever had) I went downstairs.

"Let's go?" I told Tyler.
"Breakfast?" He offered.
"It's 8:05."
"Yeah. It's 8:05." He repeated.
"So that means?"
"That means we're late but we still have to eat breakfast." He said, smirking.
"But we have to go!"
"Your college life will ever be so boring if you will never experience being late in your class." He's raising his eyebrow.
"Fine." I said and raised both of my hands in return.
"Good." He laughed.

We ate our breakfast as fast as we could. As soon as we're done, "Come on now. Let's go!"

"Chill." He muttered.
"Damn you."
