A World Far Different Than Mine (Against Odds #1)

Chapter 3: Band

Her POV

I went inside the soundproof music room, got my drum stick, walked towards the drums and banged it like nobody cares.

I need to get all my stress out of my body and playing drums is one way to. It has been a habit since I was a little kid.

At first, I was just randomly banging the drums but after a while it started to have tunes. It became pleasant to the ears. I expertly threw the stick in the air and gracefully caught it.

When I was finally enjoying myself, loud claps filled the room making me shocked and stopped playing. I swear, I thought I locked the door.

"I never knew Ms. Arantxa had a talent in playing drums." An unfamiliar voice filled the room and I slowly looked at the speaker's direction.

"Excuse me, who are you?" I asked the man with brown fixed hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a formal attire so I am certain that he is not a burglar.

"Neil Zachary is my name, Miss." He said, his eyes held no emotion. "You look beautiful by the way."

"And you.. are not my type." I said to his face making him smile.

"You have a sharp tongue. I like it." I rolled my eyes at his statement. "At saka, I only complimented you. I actually have a woman so no, I do not like you." He licked his bottom lip.

Well that's embarrassing.

"Why are you here?" I directly asked to get rid of the previous topic.

"Well, I am attending business with your father because of my father's absence. Then I heard the drums and got curious so I went here, lucky enough for me, you didn't close the door fully so I easily got in without you noticing me." Oh. Realization dawned on my face.

"Do you maybe want to join a band?" He asked when I didn't speak.

"What makes you think that I want to join a band?" I asked back. He shrugged and I rolled my eyes at him causing him to chuckle.

"Well, I was just wondering. Kulang kami ng drummer sa band ng club ko e. Baka lang gusto mo diba. You'll perform twice a week for a month. Temporary lang."

"Well I don't want to. You can go now." Pag tataboy ko. I don't want to see him anymore. He irritates me for some unknown reason.

"Oh. Would you rethink your answer aif I told you that I will leak this picture of you and this guy, eating together? 'The famous Savannah Arantxa, has a secret boyfriend?' That's a good title for a news scope isn't it?" He smirked and showed me a picture.

It's a picture of me and CK!

Shit! Paano nya nakuha yon?!

"What's it to me? Edi ikalat mo." I tried to act unbothered. This guy is unbelievable!

"Mmm.. but you are aware that if I spread this picture, that guy will be attacked by your fans, right? Marami pa namang tutol sa break up nyo ng last mong ka love team am i right? Kawawa naman sya. Okay, prepare yourself for tomorrow's scope. Bye, Miss Arantxa-"

"Stop, you manipulative little shit!" I stopped him from leaving the room. I saw the annoying smirk that's plastered in his face when he turned around to face me, making me even more annoyed than I already am.

"Yes Ms. Arantxa?" He teasingly asked knowing that he already won.

"A-anong pangalan ng club mo?"

Wala nang atrasan fuck.

"Rixer. It's a known club here in Manila, you can find it in no time. Why?" He asked innocently like he doesn't know why I asked.
