THE smell of hospitals always makes me uncomfortable. It gives me the mood that I don't understand. Remembering the fact that my mother was rushed to this hospital last week because she had an accident which made her blind makes me want to break down in tears.

Tik tok.

"Ate, we need an eye donnor and money for the implant," my brother said.

I give up.

We fucked up. Where can I get a freakin' five hundred thousand pesos for the implant? Why does it's so expensive? We're not rich and absolutely we're not poor- but I think, we're heading there. My mom worked for her friend as a driver. Her income is good and she's the breadwinner of the family ever since our father left us with another woman. But because of the incident, we have to be practical, I had to ask and seek money to pay the bills in the Hospital.

We have our savings but it's not enough. My income on being a waitress in a "not so" famous restaurant doesn't even fit for our daily needs.

"Right. I'll find a way," I said as I head down to the exit.

My mother was in a car with her friend delivering some products for their costumer. I don't know what happened but her friend told the police that they we're hit by a black van. She thinks it's a foul play.

*Kring... Kring...*
*Gian calling...*

"Gian, hi. I'm sorry, I have a problem,"

I took a taxi as I give directions to the driver where I'm heading to. I'm still holding my phone and I heard him chuckle on the other line.

"Ohw, that's new," sarcastic, he said. "Can't I at least receive a simple 'Hi' or 'Hello'?"

I didn't bother to say anything instead I shiffted my gaze outside the window and admire how beautiful the night lights were. I heared him sigh.

"Okay. Come to my place,"

I nodded my head and ended the call.

Gian was my former classmate and friend way back in college. And he is the only person I know who can help me at a times like this. He is rich, yes. I can borrow any amout of money from him anytime I want because he is obsessed with me. I know that sounds mean but I can't hide the truth. He courted me through out my college year until now. He's not my boyfriend tho and I don't have a plan for that. For now, my priority is my family.

I don't dump him since then because if I have to, I can't anymore borrow money from him. Especially now that we are cramming to pay our other depths. I know it sounds mean, but what can I do? I'm so desperate to have money since then. To tell you, I was such a bitch way back in college.

When I arrived at his place, I quickly entered his room without even bothering to knock. I stopped for a minute when I didn't saw him there. Then suddenly two pair of hands wrapped around my waist, hugging me from behind.

"Hmmm, you smells so good," he whispered to my ears.

I quickly pushed him away.

"Woah. Easy, baby."

"I don't have time for your sweetness, Gian!" I scrathed my forehead trying to calm myself down. "I need money, now," I added.

He just chuckled while looking at me intently. Afterwards he stood up and made his way to his desk and picked up a small piece of paper. He then gave it to me.

"What's this?" I ask as I grabbed the paper.

"Uhh, a paper-" I looked at him while raising my eyebrows trying to threathen him. He just shrugged. "Reunion on Monday,"

I opened my mouth and formed it into 'o' shape.

Reunion? Interesting.

"But I'm not into parties and social gatherings," I said, throwing back my gaze at him.

"I'm sure Gino would come,"

I laughed when he said that nerd's name. With him coming to reunion, the more I won't have the guts to attend the said party.

"Remember him? Gino Allister Quizon? The nerdy guy?"

Who would forget the great nerd, Gino? The nerd who tried to court me? The guts of him! Like, I would agree?

"Well, he's not a nerd anymore,"

He handed me some pictures which I gladly accept. I scaned the pictures and saw a man standing with a building at the background. He's wearing his business attire and has this smile on his face that will surely melts every girl's heart.

"He's now the heir of one of the most successful company here in the Philipinnes," he stopped for a while to cough. "He's now rich. Not before, he can't even afford a single ticket for a movie theatre,"

I scanned the pictures again. Wow! He did change a lot! I saw some mustache and her aura became more manly. His thick eyebrows and those glimmering eyes. I can't help but to admire this man in the photo. I can't believe that he was once a nerd! That he was Gino, the great nerdy guy before.

"And, compared before..." he rolled his eyes "he's now a good looking guy,"

I can't help but to ask him. Is he a stalker?

"Are you stalking him?"

"Yup," he proudly said while picking up the ballpen and played it in his fingers. "It's hard to say, he's my rival,"

I just smirked at him while putting the pictures back to his desk.

"Didn't he like you?"

Oh, yeah.

"Whatever, I need five hundred thousand," I said directly at him. "What's the connection of that to my money?"

He shakes his head then held my waist which makes me sit on his lap. I gassped but just decided not to utter any word.

"Why don't you pretend that you like him? I mean- make him believe that you are Inlove with him then after that, you can ask anyting to him- like money." I stopped for a while and thinked. "He's rich anyway, I'm sure he's just wasting his money for some alcohols and chicks,"

I slightly smiled with the plan. Hmmm, right. I'll make him fall inlove with me so hard that he can't refuse to anything that I'll ask.

I felt Gian's lips kissing my neck and his hands roaming around my body but I didn't care and let him do what he wants. I was busy thinking what would I do to start the plan that I don't have time to make-out with him. When I got the idea, I pushed Gian away and face him.

"Alright, I'll attend the reunion," I said as I exit his room.

Okay, I'll start at our reunion.
