Haters to Lovers

Chapter 6

Kate's POV

ANO daw? Financer?

Napaisip ako bigla kung ano ang sinabi niya kanina. Hindi ko kasi masyado narinig.

My mind was occupied with the revelation that he is Noe.

Siya pala ang Noe na nagtapon ng mga isda sa mukha ko, ang aroganteng sinipa ko sa mukha, ang nagpatapilok sa akin sa hagdan, ang naka-tie ko sa ranking, ang estudyanteng naging dahilan ng malas sa akin ngayong first day of school dahil siya rin ang dahilan kung bakit inaaway ako ng bruhang ito at nang mga tao dito sa Reddington.

Wala bang dalang mabuti ang taong ito? God I hate him I could throw him in hell.

"Fiancé?!" then the girl named Cheska laughed so hard. "Please don't joke around Noe."

Anong nakakatawa? Anong fiancé? Shit loading ako ngayon. Ano ba kasing sinabi niya?

"Yes, she is. Right, sunflower?" he asked me. I froze staring at him as I realize it was me he was referring to. 

"H...ha?" hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. Lahat sila nakatitig sa akin, naghihintay sa sagot ko.

Did he tell them I'm his fiancé?

Fuck bakit ba niya sinabi na fiancé niya ako? Sa lahat ng pwedeng ma-alibi, bakit iyon pa?

In a low voice he said, "If hindi ka sasagot ng oo, I swear I will give you the worst school year you never wish to happen," he said it like he was ventriloquizing.

God ngayon he's threatening me? Ayoko naman siyang angkinin na fiancé ko.

My heart was anxiously beating. I hope I am not too obvious being tensed and seemed nervous.

My mind's wandering around. I literally don't know what to do. Anong sasabihin ko?

"Hey, girl," Cheska snapped. "Answer him to prove that it's 'true'."

"Umm..." napaisip ako saglit baka pagsisihan ko ito. " Well, yes. I'm his girl and we're official. Sorry ka nalang girl. Know your place cause he's mine," then I wrapped my arms around him.

Yuck ang sagwa. Bakit naman ito pa ginawa ko, pero bahala na. Ngayon lang naman.

I lifted my face to look at him and I saw him smirked at Cheska. Cheska bit her lower lip  and narrowed her eyes. Mukhang galit at hindi naniniwala sa amin. Ang ibang students naman ay nagbulungan na hindi naman masyado matawag na bulong because their voices filled up the cafeteria.

Now what? Gusto ko nang umalis dito!

"We should go now? The lunchbreak's almost over," he said to me. I sighed as my relief. "Let's go sunflower?"

I sweetly smiled, "Okay, my buttercup," I even used an endearment. God what am I thinking?

He grabbed my hand as I grabbed my sling bag on the other, then immediately find a way out from the crowd. Umalis kami ng cafeteria at patuloy lang niya akong kinaladkad hanggang nakarating kami sa gitna ng school ground.

"Hoy, bitawan mo ako gago," bulyaw ko sa kanya. 

He stopped, still holding my hand and gasping for air. I grabbed my hand kasi nangangalay sa paghila niya sa akin kanina.

"Anong fiancé? God nahihibang ka na ba?" I grunted. "I even barely know you tapos iyon ang e-alibi mo?"

He just scoffed to what I said, "You're asking me right now like you don't like it pero kanina you hugged me. Kinareer mo talaga. May pa-buttercup ka pa."
