Free cut sa Laws and Ethics. I feel excited kasi ever since pasukan, I never got a chance to drive my car tapos ngayon, finally!
I made a deal with Mom and Dad kasi a day before last night. Sabi ko, let me go to school alone, pero may bodyguard na nakabantay sa akin sa malayo. I went shopping din sa mall, I ate alone, I went to different places alone, para makita nilang safe naman ako mag-isa. If I proved to them na safe naman ako, I'd be free na and they would stop being paranoid. I mean, my family might be rich pero we have a heart. Wala kaming enemies. Wala namang magtatangka sa life ko 'di ba? Not even my bashers.
So, now, I'm all free. Free of Duncan's kashitan, specifically. Saka he's busy na rin sa training. Second month na ngayon ng second semester eh. Meaning, malapit na ang basketball cup. Malapit na rin ang preliminary exam. Ugh.
"Hello? Are you free today?" I called Yvan. Wala kasi silang class every Thursday, but Oura was busy daw.
"I'm studying for calculus and trigo. Girl, I can't fail again! I'm dying to graduate!" she sounded as if buhat niya ang mundo. Lalo tuloy akong napressure kasi I will have to study my ass off na naman this week.
Yvan couldn't make it so I went to our favorite coffee shop alone. I need to relax. Mukhang kelangan ko bigyan ng gift si Sir McLaren kasi I'm planning to visit his house. Kakapalan ko na face ko, kahit crush ko siya and I become so conscious about myself in front of him, need ko talaga siya this week! I can't afford to get mababang grades. I swear, I'd kill myself if that happens.
I bought him a coffee and a slice of cake. I stayed for a while muna sa coffee shop and relaxed, saka ako bumalik sa school.
Ugh, should I ask Clau kung nasaan si Sir? That ass, he just confessed last week na he likes me raw. Like, how? All I always did to him was shout at his face kasi annoying siya lagi. And really, I only see him as a friend, and hindi ako pumapatol sa friend. Never.
Instead of asking him, I searched Sir McLaren's name on facebook. Boom, saw it. Hope he accepts my friend request.
Minutes after, my phone vibrated. I was surprised with the notification. He did! OMG! He did accept my FR.
Madison West: sir
Damon McLaren: yes miss west
Madison West: are you free right now? can we meet at the love cafe?
Damon McLaren: why
I frowned. Even on chats, ang dry niya pa rin kausap! Can't he just say yes? Love Cafe is just a few walks away from the faculty kaya!
Maddie West: i have to tell u something po
Maddie: please?
Damon: okay
I almost shouted in kilig because he agreed! The heck, Maddie, calm down!
I drove all the way to the coffee shop. I saw him na kakalabas lang sa elevator at naglalakad na papunta sa coffee shop. I let him go first before ako bumaba. Nakakahiya. Baka mamaya, kapag naabutan niya ako sa labas, doon na niya tanungin kung anong sasabihin ko. I can't let that happen. I mean, hindi ako mapapakali. We have to sit!
I entered the coffee shop and his eyes welcomed me. He watched me until I reached the table. Bakit kasi ang hilig niya sa eye contact?
"I bought these for you, Sir." I said as I sat down and placed the food on the table.
"So thoughtful of you to give me a coffee and a slice of cake inside a different coffee shop, Miss West." he said sarcastically but he didn't sound rude. My heart.

Not Me, Maddie
RomanceI like him so bad. But he doesn't want me. His brother likes me. My brother hates him. It's like the people we treasure the most are what's keeping us apart. I'm in pain. In so much pain. And I'm tired of hearing him say, "Not me, Maddie."
