Chapter Four: Disrespectful

Reia's POV

Err....

*Gruuuuuuu

Charmaine stared at me like I was the most funny person in the whole wide world. I just smiled at them awkwardly.

"Ughm... hehe.... can we eat first? I'm kind of hungry...." I stumbled.

Tumunog yung tiyan ko eh! Kakahiya!! >\\<

Fastforward

I'm currently in the hotel where I booked in. Umuwi na din sa suite nila sila Audrey at Charm. Nakahiga lang ako sa kama ko habang pinagmamasdan ang paggalaw ng orasan.

*tick tock *tick tock *tick tock

Napaupo ako ng maisipan kong ayusin ang mga gamit na dinala ko. I looked at the clock watch and it's already 9:35 p.m. I think I needed to sleep first. Wala pa naman kaming pasok bukas kasi sa Lunes pa ang pasukan. So, I still have two days to spent here outside the University.

I'm gonna sleep first. Good night.....

*****

I woke up with a smile on my face. Good morning sunshine!! Nakakapanibago lang, hindi ko na maririnig ang nakakarinding boses ng mga maid ng palasyo tuwing umaga. Hindi ko na din makakasabay na kumain sila mom and dad, pati si twin. Hindi ko na din makakakuwentuhan si kuya Martson.

Ughm.... I mean the palace guard, kuya Martson. Siya yung tinuturing ko na parang kapatid ko na din sa palasyo. Ever since I was a kid, lagi niya akong sinasamahan at binabantayan kahit pa bata palang din siya noon. I sighed before getting up and entered the bathroom.

After getting ready, agad na akong nagtawag ng crew para sa breakfast. Kumain lang ako hanggang sa nabusog na ako at nag-ayos muli ng sarili. Lumabas na ko ng suite at dumiretso sa elevator. I was about to enter when I heard my name in the intercom.

"Ms. Reia Monteflavia, can you please head at the hotel's lobby? Ms. and mrs. Mendez want to have a chat to you. I repeat, ms. Reia Monteflavia, ms. and mrs. Mendez want to have a chat to you. Thank you."

Kaya agad na akong pumasok ng elevator at pinindot ang first floor. When I entered the lobby, I immediately walk straight at the lady in the reception side.

"Ughm, miss? I'm Aie--- I mean, I'm Reia, Reia Monteflavia. Where are they?" I asked.

Lumingon naman siya sa akin at ngumiti.

"This way ma'am," sabi niya at naglakad papunta sa isang sofa. She let me sit down there and told me to wait for a while.

After 5 minutes or so.... may lumapit sa aking babae. She's wearing a red blouse and a black jeans paired with a red high heels and a red flower on her hair bun. She's cute. But.... who is she? I just stared at her when suddenly, someone called. "Miss Reia!" Napalingon ako. There's a lady walking towards us.

She's wearing a black overflowing dress above the knee paired with a black stiletto heels with glitters or it must be diamonds. Her hair are flowing brown and her eyes are also brown.

"So, you must be ms. Reia Monteflavia?" She asked.

I stood up and shook hands with her and the lady in red.

"Yes, madam. I supposed, you're mrs. Mendez?" I asked while combing my hair.

Napatawa naman ng mahina si mrs. Mendez. What? Am I mistaken?

"No, I'm not. Do I look like a mother to you? *chuckles. By the way, I'm Kristine Mendez, daughter of mrs. Trizha Mendez, and this little lady beside me is my mother." Tinignan naman nung lady in red ng masama si mrs-- wait....

WHAAAT?! EH BAKIT MAS MATANGKAD SIYA SA NANAY NIYA?! MAY GANUN PALA?!

(@Ms_Annie_88: Aba huta! May problema ka ba sa mga pandak?!)

(A/n: oh, oh, kalma ka lang trizh!! Hahahah!! XD)

Sa gulat ko ay napatakip na lang ang kamay ko sa bibig ko. Is she kidding me? Oh please.... I seriously don't have time with that. May usapan kami nila Aud at Charm ngayon.

"Okay, that's not a good joke." Sabi ni lady in red. Inabot niya ulit ang kamay niya sa akin. "I'm sorry if I didn't tell you my name anymore sooner, I'm Trizha Mendez by the way. The owner of the resort. We just wanted to thank you a lot, ms. Monteflavia. Because of you and rhe other customer's convenience and kind heart, the hotel itself has leveled up. It's ratings are now rising. We owe you a lot." Sabay ngiti sa akin ni mrs. Mendez.

I smiled too.

"Sorry for being rude earlier too, mrs. Mendez. I thought you're just a guest so I didn't bother to talk to you. And it's my pleasure to help. So, I'll excuse myself now. I have some things to do. Your welcome. I appreciate the thanks, mrs. Mendez and ms. Mendez. It's nice meeting you." Ngiti ko naman sa kanila. Tumango lang sila kaya umalis na ko at dumiretso sa Starbucks. According to them it's a cafe.

Dun daw kami magkikita-kita nila Charmaine eh. Pagdating ko dun, I spotted the two of them talking with each other while sipping their frappe's. Charmaine looked around and when she saw me, she waved at me. I waved back and walk towards them. I sat in front of them and ask.

"How long you've been waiting? I'm sorry for keeping you wait. The hotel's owner talked to me earlier and thanked me for the high ratings. So, that's why I'm late. I'm really sorry." I explained. Tumango naman si Audrey at Charm.

"Well, not so long.... by about, 20 minutes. It's fine. So, lets go?" Charmaine answered and asked before smiling widely. I nodded at her so do, Audrey.

Tumayo na siya and handed me a frappe, she must've been ordered it for me.

"Thanks." I said and smiled.

It's not so hard finding the Starbucks cause I told the street at the cab driver. Pumunta kami sa isang mall and I was amazed. Really, for the second time this week, I'm really amazed. We walk around the mall while talking and buying things and dresses. We had some fun. This day is awesome.

Or.... that's what I thought. Until, Charmaine bumped with someone.

"Hey! Get a hold of yourself, stupid!" The guy coldly yelled at her.
"So-sorry--- wait! How dare you!?" Nagulat ako sa galit na tono ni Charmaine.

Did they knew each other?

Nakita kong napangisi yung lalaki. He's wearing a white tee-shirt and a black jeans with a black and white converse shoes and a leather jacket. He also wore a gold letter R necklace.

"Oh, hello there, 2nd princess of the campus! And oh, also the 3rd princess! It's nice to see you two here!" He greeted in amusement. He looked at me and finally noticed my presence. I smirked at him na dahilan ng pagkawala ng ngisi niya at nanlaki ang mata, pero di kalaunan ay muling napangisi. "What do we have here? Is she your newly recruit alalay, princesses?" How dare he call me a freakin' helper?

I faced him and raised my right eyebrow at him. I pulled his leather jacket and draw his face closer to me.

"How dare you call me a helper?" I asked. He's speechless. "Let me tell you this, asshole. Mess with me and my friends again and you'll see hell. Remember that." I said and pushed him before leaving him dumbfounded. How dare he? I dont even know him. Asshole. He ruined our day. Tsk. Now this day won't be that good. I hate his guts.

He just called a princess--me-- a helper. If mom and dad finds out about this, that boy would rot in the dungeon. But he's lucky I'm pretending as a normal teenager. Cause if I'm not? He'll pay. Calling me a helper is a disrespect to the royal family of Crestillia, especially to me. The future Queen of our kingdom.
