Secretly Married : NERD BECOMES CASANOVA

Chapter 48

(Steph's POV)

"LATEST UPDATE!!
10-13-14 10:48 PM
Christofer Alex Reyal rumored to be in an Arranged Marriage?!"

I can feel my hands shaking and sweating at the same time as I remember my father's words when he told me about the arranged marriage fixed for me. His words that keeps on echoing in my mind.

'I heard that you know your fiance-to-be really well.'
'I heard that you know your fiance-to-be really well.'
'I heard that you know your fiance-to-be really well.'
'I heard that you know your fiance-to-be really well.'

"Stephan? Stephanie? You okay?" I heard Exodus say pero kahit gusto kong magsalita, parang may sariling utak ang bibig ko at mas pinili nitong tumikom.

Can it be? May chansa kaya na si Christof ang fiance ko? Just thinking about it makes me nervous. I feel mixed up! Should I be happy na siya ang magiging fiance ko? Or should I feel terrible?

"Stephanie!" sabi ni Exodus at tsaka lang ako natauhan. I put my phone inside my bag and turned to Exodus.

"Let's g------"

"Oh my gosh si Christof!" I stopped when I heard a fan girl yell that Christof is here. I turned back looking for him which is something I just realized I shouldn't do. Duh?! Ayokong isipin niya o nila na hinahanap ko si Christof at may pake ako sa kanya!

I saw him with his cold expression on. Hindi niya kasabay si Cassandra. Wait what? Di niya kasama si Cassandra?! Ha! Buti nga. I mean no. Forget it. Never mind. Naglalakad lang siya at parang galit siya. Ng palapit na siya samin ay parang di niya man lang ako nakita at nag dire-diretso lang siya. He just passed and it felt like naka slow mo habang nakatingin ako sa kanyang lampasan ako.

I used to be so close beside him but now--------he just passes by like he never even knew me. Like we're strangers to each other. I thought hindi na madagdagan ang sakit, pero mali pala. Nothing hurts more than to just see him pass me by like wala kaming pinagsamahan. He didn't even look at me. Para siyang naging hangin.

"Stephan?" said Exodus. I looked at him and faked a smile.

"Let's go Odus"

(Christof's POV)

I stormed into the hallways until the journalism room. As I saw the room, I slammed the door open for an obvious entrance that made the club members turn their backs on me. I looked at all of them intently. Students, boys and girls, with cameras laced around their necks, some holding pens and notebooks and some sitting on swivel chairs in front of their mac books or i macs.

I took out my phone, turned it on and threw it to the nearest student in front of me. He gulped and looked at it and so as the other people near him. Then they started whispering.

"Explain." I said with authority.

"M-may nagsend l-lang sa email ng club.." sabi ng lalaking may hawak ng phone ko. I hissed and walked towards him.

"Do you know how fucking pissed off I am right now because of that fucking false rumor? Tapos sasabihin mo na may nag send lang pala sa inyo? Is that how you fucking get your updates? Your sources?!" I asked him. I saw him gulp and and all the other students scattered away from me and him.

I took my phone from him and put it inside my pocket. I threw him a glare at kinwelyuhan ko siya, "Fucking take that article off that blog and every social networking websites it was shared, in 24 hours got it? Or else, I'll fucking tear this club a part."
