Chapter 12
"And that's our presentation Sir." Prince said.
Our classmates clapped at us. He is so prepared, he just oriented me earlier to memorize the script so it will look like that we work on it together.
"Isn't it unfair? That you only work for it." I frowned.
"Nah, you need rest. Let's just make a deal."
"Sure." I agreed.
"You will make our next presentation." He smiled.
"Ok promise." I smiled.
"Good, you're cellphone is vibrating."
I opened it and saw a message from Ciro. He just seen zoned me yesterday.
From: my super-duper, ultra-mega handsome big brat I'm sorry about yesterday. Eat your lunch, I love you.
I went to the home screen and looked at the presenter.
"Your boyfriend?" He asked.
"I love him." That's the words that come out of my mouth.
"You look good together." He smiled.
"I hope we'll last." I frowned.
"Is that your problem? That's why your sad?"
I'm not used to opening up to a person or saying what I feel, I always kept it in myself, but there's something in Prince that I could say to him my problems. Maybe because he's not judgmental.
"Yeh, my cousin liked him so much. She slept on his condo unit yesterday."
"And you're overthinking what happened that night?"
"Yes." I frowned.
"All you need is a good communication. Learn to ask before you overthink Selena. Don't hurt your own feelings." He smiled.
"When did you become an adviser?" I laughed.
"Just for today."
I nodded and the bell rang. He handed me an envelope where are research is. He's so damn responsible.
"Looks like Prince is really good huh?" Carylle smiled.
"Yeh, he's responsible, humble and kind." I said.
"Don't fall for him, you have Ciro." Yuri warned.
"I won't, what I felt for Prince is pure friendship and nothing at all."
"That's good to hear. By the way where is our food?" He giggled like a kid.
I gave them the lunch box and the lunch box and they are so happy when they saw the beef steak.
"Tita is so good at cooking." Carylle said smelling the food.
"Nah she's the best." Yuri corrected her.
I laughed when they praised my mother cooking skills. She's so great and I love every detail of her.
I remember what Prince told me. He's right, I'm mad at Ciro but I didn't tell him my problems. How can we solve this if we keep hiding the pain from each other?
"I heard about what Hazel did." Carylle rolled her eyes.
"Ditching her first day huh? I bet she's grounded." Yuri smirked.
I shrugged my shoulders. I was about to text Ciro when my phone died. Damn, this is so unlucky.
"We will have to choose a club later. Where are you?" Carylle asked.
"Mathematics club maybe." Yuri said.
"I'll go in with music club, how about you?" Carylle asked me.
"Maybe sports club. Volleyball is the only thing I know so yeah." I smiled.
We went to the covered court and fall in line with the club that we want to join. I really wanted to be part of the music club but I'm not good at singing.
"I thought you're joining the writing club."
I saw Prince behind me, is he talking to me?
"I'm not that good at writing and I'm damn lazy." I laughed.
"What sport are you in?" He asked.
"Volleyball and chess, how about you?"
"Football." He smiled.
I register my name when it's my turn.
Selena Santiago Portia Grade 12
17 years old Volleyball and Chess After I filled up the form, I signed it. And put in on my envelope. I hope the welcome party will be happy.
I sat at the sports club side and looked around. Almost all of them joined the music club, mathematics club is few. Maybe being there is a privilege, is having a cousin there is a privilege too?
"Good day! Welcome to the sports club!" The tall girl said.
I saw Prince sat beside me and smiled at me, I'm thankful that I have a friend here. It's hard to fit in.
"So I'm Jillian Frezoria, the club president." She smiled.
"So this is Sean Fortelejo, the vice president. Kate Vitcheza, the secretary. Adry Gomez, the treasurer and Ceenayah Travis, the auditor." She said.
They all looked sporty except for Sean, he looks like a nerd but hot though.
"I need a representative per sport. You can nominate others or nominate yourself. Please be responsible if you're elected."
"For basketball?" Sean asked.
The girls giggled and starts to take a photo of him. What's with him?
They pointed a guy at the back, maybe he's the team captain.
Sean asked for a lot of sports and this time it's volleyball.
"Who wants to be the representative?"
No one dares to raised their hands or point a person.
"Ok I'll do a random call."
I'm praying that it is not me, I don't want an obligation. Please, please don't pick me, don't be me. Fate please be good to me.
"And it's Selena Portia."
I rolled my eyes and raised my hand. They clapped their hands and I smiled awkwardly. I saw Yuri laughing at me. This is not good.
"You can go home now. See you every meeting officers." Adry said the closing remarks, and we all stand up ready to go.
"Congratulations." Prince laughed.
"Nahh, I don't want to be ghe representative. I'm lazy as fuck."
"You can do it." He gave me a thumbs up.
I grabbed my bag and went outside the campus. I can't wait for Yuri and Carylle because they're meeting is too long.
I was about to book a grab when someone dragged me to his car.
"What the fuck are you doing?! Get off me!" I shouted.
"Your voice Selena, please calm down."
His familiar scent, his voice gives me chills, Ciro.
I went to his car and he drives so fast. Is he pissed? I'm the one that should be pissed because he dragged me here.
At first I never have a clue where will be leading but when I saw the sign of a tree over there I know we are going to our home, to our tree house.
I hopped outside his car and climbed to the tree, I missed being here.
I lay at the soft bed and hugged the soft pillow. This is heaven, I regret that I didn't visit here.
"Let's talk." He said in a deep voice.
I sat down and looked at him, his eyes are hypnotizing me again.
"You are not answering my texts and calls and then I saw you laughing with a guy." He said coldly.
"Is that why you didn't answer me Selena? Is that why you keep ignoring my calls?" He said breaking his own voice.
He looked pissed but at the same time hurt. I really need to fix this, calm down Selena communication is the key.
"My phone is dead." I handed him my phone.
"I was laughing with Prince because he said something funny. He's my research partner and nothing else." I explained.
"Is that all?" I asked.
He nodded and frowned.
"You seemed zoned to me yesterday. Where did Hazel sleep?" I asked without looking at him.
"She slept on my bed." He said.
I frowned and faked a smile, wow nice, they share the same bed.
"But we didn't share the same bed. I slept beside Liam, you can ask him. I didn't noticed your text, I didn't seen it. Believe me, your I love you is a precious thing I couldn't waste." He explained.
He hugged me and buried his face in my neck. He sighed and signed again and again.
"I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry." He said releasing me from his hug.
"I'm sorry too, this is a pure misunderstanding." I smiled.
"Why did you went here? You have a class tomorrow." I raised my eyebrow.
"I'll review here and you'll spend this night with me. I'll just give you a ride tomorrow to go to school." He explained.
"But you need to leave early because of your class."
"The morning classes are cancelled that's why I can go there at 7:00." He smiled.
"I'll asked my mother if I can sleep here."
"I already asked her earlier. She approved but she said that you should not rape me." He laughed.
"I'm not going to rape you! You big brat." I laughed.
He gave me a food and we ate silently. I was sleepy, luckily we don't have an assignment today.
"Cam I sleep? I'm really tired." I said.
"Ok, I'll lay with you later. Just need to finish this last assignment."
"You should not went here. You need rest." I said.
"But you are my rest."
I smiled and hugged the pillow. I looked at him, he's getting more handsome when he's serious.
"Stop staring at my handsome face, I can't focus." He laughed.
I closed my eyes and let myself fall into sleep.
The last thing I knew is he lay beside me and kissed my forehead.
"Sleep tight baby, I love you and a misunderstanding wouldn't break us off."
