"I'll be waiting by your school's main gate after your sched." - Chase

Isang matamis na ngiti mula sa aking mga labi ang naging simula ng araw para sa'kin.

His message was the first thing i opened when i woke up. Hindi na rin naman ako nag abalang magtipa ng reply dahil siya rin naman ang masusunod sa bandang huli.

Wala sa sariling hinaplos ko ang aking noo. Remembering the scenes from last night.

Chase Vega just saw my weak side. He saw me cry. He was there while I was having a breakdown.

Ano nalang ang mukhang ihaharap ko sa kanya?!

The high and confident Davens Bridgette Padilla cried a river of tears infront of the cold and successful Chase Vega.

"Make sure that you get the highest mark from the rest of your subjects Daven, don't disappoint your mom even more" papa commanded with his eyes still fixed on the road.

"Mmm.." i answered.

I diverted my attention on the road and rested my chin on my right arm. Papa decided to drop me at school on his way to the company he's working at.

It was a long and silent ride. Ano pa bang bago? I am an the only child so the pressure and attention is all on me.

One mistake and they'll look at me with plain disappointment.

The Padilla's are known for their expertise in the business industry. And that is what they expect of me too.

"Thanks Pa, ingat sa biyahe." I muttered and kissed his cheek. He just answered with a nod.

Paglabas ko sa kotse ay dire diretso na akong tumungo papasok sa paaralan.

As if not having any problems in life, i walked straight to my room with my head held high, greeting everyone with a smile.

Mapababae man o lalake ay napapasunod ng tingin. Well, hindi na rin naman ako naiilang.

I am used to getting the attention of many. Syempre, i was born and raised beautiful, duhh.

I finger-combed my long wavy hair and the spiral curls at its end fell perfectly by my waist.

Bahagya akong nagulat nang maramdaman ang kamay na biglang pumulupot sa aking bewang.

And when i turned by my side to see who it was, I saw Brylle wearing his usual grin. "Get your hands off me Gonzales." i warned him.

"Ang highblood mo naman ata sa umaga babe, porket hot 'tong katabi mo'y hindi ibig sabihin na dapat uminit yung ulo mo." he said, raising his brows.

I looked at him with bored eyes, telling him to stop his nonsense.

"At hindi porket gwapo ako ay — aray!" sigaw niya sabay sapo sa tiyan niyang siniko ko. Kapal e.

"Ooh violent, i like it." bulong niya sabay kindat sa'kin nang nakabawi na sa sakit na dulot ng pagsiko ko.

At 'di pa talaga natuto ang isang 'to.

"Isang ganyan pa at tatawagan ko na si Skylee." pananakot ko.

Agad namang umayos ng tayo si Brylle at nagseryoso. Hahahahaha, tinamaan ang gago.
