Royalty 1: Duchess

Chapter 4: Cousins

"Why is she wearing his jersey?

"sila na ba talaga?"

Napatigil ako nang lapitan ni Kai ang ibang students na nakakasalubong namin sa hallway, I guess he will start his plan.

They looked shocked after he talked. Lumapit na muli sa'kin si Kai at inakbayan ako, "sure ka ba na kakalat 'yon?" bulong ko

"siguradong sigurado." And he starts whistling, mahina naman akong napailing

Dumiretso kami sa room kung saan exclusive langs a mga student council officers. I saw Vance who is our PRO, eating something—while Avi who is our Auditor, reading some school papers.

Agad na bumaling ang tingin nilang dalawa sa amin ni Kai, Vance looked shocked while staring at me head to toe.

"Jersey ni Kai 'yan diba? Bakit suot mo, Pres?" Vance asked

Umupo ako sa upuan na malapit sakaniya at kumuha naman ng tubig si Kai sa ref. Malaki ang kwarto na 'to dahil may sofa at tv at ref kaya dito tumatambay ag mga student council offfiers pag free time nila.

Habang ako minsan lang ako nagagawi dito, kapag inaaya lang ako ni Kai o di kaya my meeting kami. Reason? Ayaw kong makita ang pagmumukh ni bobita

"nabasa ako kanina" simpleng ani ko

Sumandal ako sa upuan at bahagyang pumikit, "you looked tired" Avi said

"Magpinsan kayo ni Kai?" rinig ko pang sabi ni Avi

"ANO?!"

"ang bilis naman makarating sa'yo ang balita" I muttered

"well nakapost ang pic niyong dalawa sa school blog at nakabold type pa na magpinsan kayong dalawa"

"seryoso? Magpinsan kayo?" Vance butted in

Mahina lang ako tumango, god I want to sleep. Napagod ako sa kakaacting kanina.

Nawala ang concentration ko nang bumukas ang pinto, I guess that was bobita and Nika. Mukhang nakarating na sakanila ang balita na magkamag-anak kami ni Kai

"Is this a false rumor?" I heard bobita saying

"the blog said Kai was the one who told the student about him and pres being cousins" Avi said

"I can't believe it!" bulaslas naman ni Nika

"at bakit naman kayo hindi makapaniwala?" I heard Kai's cold voice. I guess he's mad huh. Kahit hindi ko pa nakikita kung paano siya magalit, ang sabi nila he's scary when he's mad. Makikita ko ba 'yon?

"K-Kai—we mean hindi kasi kayo magkamukha..." I heard bobita defended

Minulat ko ang mata ko at tumingin kay Avi na nagbabasa at walang pakialam kina bobita

"What are the grounds for bullying?" Avi suddenly looked at me. She looked confused pero sinagot naman niya ako

"is it a minor or major case?"

Sumulyap ako kina bobita na namumutla, I grinned. They pushed my button.

Bumalik ang tingin ko kay Avi, "major"

"If it's major, the bully will be kicked out for good. No consideration to be done" Nagpalumbaba ako at tumingin ako kina bobita

"Should I complain?" I asked them both

Nanigas silang dalawa sakanilang kinatatayuan

"W-What do you mean..." Nika stuttered

"wait binubully ka, pres?" Vance butted in
