No

I spent my night preparing for my plan. My brothers are not yet aware of my current issue and I have no plans for asking any shoulder. I just need someone named Alcaeus Sobremonte to agree with my deal. So that everything would fall into their places. And after that we can withdraw ourselves. No pressure. No feelings.

I haven't really met him properly. 'Yung tipong magkakausap talaga kami nang matagal. Siguro na meet ko ko lang siya tuwing magkakasalubong kami at sa ibang parties, minsan din naman sa school at nothing more. Clearly, we don't know each other. I doubt that he knows me. Unless, he's not really lasing that night kaya hinayaan niya akong pumatong sa kan'ya! Ugh! Ew!

I even watched the video. I am disgusted. But Olga promised me that she would take care of that. Kaya inisip ko na lang ang plano ko, the rumor will stop if we announce that we're in a relationship. Bakit sila mangingialam ng sex life ng iba? And I am afraid that it would reach to the office! There's one hundred percent chance na I'll get pull out, and of course! It will reach my parents and I am so dead.

Wala ang parents namin dito because they flew to Naga. May aayusin daw sila roon, siguro their stay might take some days. Kaya naman may oras pa ako para rito.

Kaya kailangan ko talaga si Alcaeus. I'm angry that he's so chill about it while I'm spending my time thinking for another possible solution. Well, palibhasa kasi lalaki. Walang mawawala at may itsura at pera. Kaya siguradong kakampihan siya kaysa sa akin. May pera rin ako pero karespe-respeto? Hindi. Kahit ano'ng gawin ko ay hindi.

And for sure kaya ko siya pakisamahan, if only he'd behave. I don't want to walk around with another rumor that my boyfriend is cheating on me! Kaya sa deal ko ay kailangan niya talagang pigilan ang pambabae niya.

After looking at my reflection for a long time, finally, I got contented with what I look. Nag ayos talaga ako ngayon dahil alam kong magaganda ang gusto ni Alcaeus. I put some red lipstick and curled my eyelashes. I let my straight hair down, one of my insecurities is my forehead, that is why I'm kinda hesitant about with what I look. My almond shaped eyes, my small narrowed nose, my thin lips and my kinda chubby cheeks. I look great.

I used to wear cardigan, but for now I let my uniform to follow my curves. I wear my contact lenses because I am not going to wear my eyeglasses. I need to be sexy and pretty at the same time! Fuck his standard. If not for my issue, I would never do this for a man.

"Martiza! We're late! The fuck took you so long!" Kuya Darrel yelled that made me finish everything.

"I'm going na!" Sigaw ko pabalik.

I grabbed my bag and my phone. I went out of my room and went downstairs. I saw them waiting for me. Their reactions changed when they saw my face and my body! They have no idea what I'm up to!

"Are you sick?" Kuya Darrel asked with so much confusion.

"What happened to you?" The confusion didn't leave Kuya Wancho's voice.

My brother's barely see me putting an interest in fashion world. I really get their reactions, it was all of a sudden.

"Don't be so dramatic! I just changed the way I dress!" I defended myself.

"I mean—No! Shocking! It's always you and your cardigan! And now you are putting some make up! What is that? A red lippie? And what's with your hair? Ang laki ng noo mo!" Pangiinis ni Kuya Darrel.

"Shut your mouth, Kuya! I don't need your opinion! I am pretty! Big forehead means smart! Palibhasa kasi lagi kang bagsak!"

He rolled his eyes.
