Freedom from Seduction (COMPLETED)

Don't Tell

Bumungad sa akin ang hindi kaaya-ayang pangyayari. Today is my third year of college. It was two years ago when Serena lost her scholarship but ended up being sponsored by the four guys- well, three since Eidan refused to participate.

I decided to just ignore them and continue to strategize on removing Serena permanently in their lives.

I sighed.

Two years. It has been two years yet I still can't let go of my grudge. Because during those two years, I had experienced hell seeing her with Zeus.

Bagay sila. Serena will be a perfect house Mom and Zeus is a perfect husband material.

And that is the thought I loathe the most.

I went straight to the café to meet up with Claire. For years, we learned to accept each other's bitchiness along the way. The only thing that's separating our attitude is that she's becoming softer and sweeter.

I gues that's what boyfriends do.

"You and the quarterback, huh?" I teased.

Umirap siya.

"Hindi kami bagay. He's too much of an achiever."

I rolled my eyes back in return.

"Achievers are the best husbands to have, Claire."

"Easy for you to say."

She took a sip from her tea and looked straight to the glass that served as a wall separating the cafe and the academy.

Nahuli ko roon ang tinitignan niya. At walang iba iyon kundi ang basketbolistang varsity rin sa football. An A student.

"Right. Hindi kayo bagay." I said.

I looked at Claire whose eyes looked down. I know what she felt because I am feeing it too. I guess good girls can't really get something without effort. Good girls win always.

I don't want that.

I am a certified mean girl in this school, probably the leader if I ever decide to hangout with them. No thanks though, Claire's not one of those cheap trying-hard girls so she gets to spend some time with me. And well, we kind of connect and I'd like to keep it that way.

At least I know that some people really do experience shits like this and I'm still normal.

It was past six when I decided to go to MDC Entertainment from school. And along the way, I was feeling that something bad might happen. But instead of something, I saw someone along the dark alley, his hands on his pocket as if waiting for someone. The dark aura he gives off even when I'm still inside the car tells me that I know who he is.

"Wren Vale." I blurted out loud.

Natigilan ang driver nang marinig ang sinabi ko at sinubukang tignan ang tinitignan ko kaya agad akong umiwas ng tingin. The driver looked at me again to see emotions in my eyes so I quickly lifted my brow to save face. Ngumiti ito.

I blushed when I think I know what he thinks. He saw me looking nowhere, blurting out a man's voice and panicking when I got caught. He thinks I'm inlove!

"Stop the car." I said.

Tumango ang driver. He didn't dare ask questions. I was already fuming mad because of the embarrassment. He is intelligent enough to know that I can strip him off his employment immediately for making false accusations!

Dumaan ako sa mga sasakyang nakapark dahil alam kong sinusundan pa rin ako ng tingin ng driver so when I was blocked from his view by a huge truck, I waited until the driver went away.
