Francine Carrel Asuncion _______________________ "Hey, Francine. What's up?" Mia called, which made me go crazy. "Why?" I will ask. "What are you thinking, Frennywaps huh?" he said then arranged our painting supplies. "Sorry. I just remembered what Papa said yesterday." I promise. "Speaking of your Papa! What's the matter with Tito picking you up at home this morning?" it asked. "Well... how can I tell you?" I promise then take a deep breath. "It's occupied, what is it, here it is." he said as if he was bored with the gossip I was about to say. "That's how it is." I said then took a deep breath and started again. "He is planning to find a 'supposedly' perfect man for me and he is going to get us married as soon as possible..." "Huaaaat?! Immediately, Frenny? My god! My brainy didn't understand that. It was shocking!" he said as he held his sensei and I immediately fell in love. "And that's really what you were worried about, you know I have a boyfriend." I said Indian seat and he immediately winced. "Heh. I don't know. You know, Francine. I'm really disappointed with your boyfriend Rio, it seems like there's something bad and fishy there and I can't figure out what it is right now but here it is, remember this time I'll know if what's that. Nako, I'm telling you frenny, I'll have it salv*ged, choss." He said that my eyes are getting smaller. I just shook my head and continued my painting. We were in the Art room with our other classmates. I was about to finish when suddenly someone knocked over my mixing palette with only paint in it. "What?!" I wonder if we are together and look at my uniform that is full of paint. "Are you blind? Aren't you looking at what you're passing by!" I said annoyed then looked at him badly but he immediately turned his back and didn't seem to have any intention of apologizing for what he did so I laughed a little and stood up then grabbed his arm. "Aren't you even going to apologize?" I said annoyed then faced me but I already stopped to speak... "I-You...." "I know I'm handsome. But I'm busy." it said with a smirk. What the---! I would have yelled at him because he had already left. B*sit! Why is he really handsome and I'm really stunned hays. "Just calm down, okay. Just get changed." Mia laughed and said, "Oh, it's okay." ______ I'm in the restroom right now trying to remove the red paint from my uniform, tsk. If it wasn't really because of that man, my uniform shouldn't be dirty. I really missed that sound when we met again---- * KRING KRING KRING My cellphone rang from my pocket so I immediately took it out and it was Papa who called me so I was in agony. Annoyed and pissed off, I just answered. "What is that?" I will ask. "Come here. We will talk." he said so I took a deep breath. "Sorry, Pa, but my class ends later." "I already talked to your Professor and he agreed to let you go home this afternoon so hurry up because our driver will pick you up." he said as he ended the call. What is it? I just put my uniform in the paper bag and went out of the bathroom then waited for Manong Julio in the waiting shed outside the school. I texted Rio first because he might look for me later in the classroom and I'm not there. 'Babe, I have to go home first, because Papa is calling me. Let's meet Tom, I love you!' I messaged but after five minutes Rio still didn't respond so I thought maybe he was just busy. Manong arrived so I immediately rode in the back. ___________________ I thought he would take me to Manong's house, but I was surprised when he took me to a restaurant. I got down and went inside. Papa said that I will sit at table 7 because that's where we reserved but why is someone else already sitting there. I came closer to ask but I was surprised by what I saw--'the bwis*t man earlier who threw paint on my uniform. What is that man doing here? And here it is! "Excuse me, that table is already reserved. You can use another table, right? Didn't you see the sign?" I said then show me the 'RESERVE' sign I saw it laugh softly. I'm really still being laughed at. What's so funny huh?! "Sorry, Miss, but I'm here---" "Oh, Hija. You're here." said Papa who sat across from Kumag as if nothing had happened. "Oh, sit down, my dear." he said and I sat down but I still couldn't take my eyes off of this guy. "Hija, this is Trevon Lucas Mateo, he's the one I'm telling you that I want you to meet and I also want you to marry in the future." Papa said and I immediately looked at him. "What?! He's the one you're talking about?!!" I screamed in surprise. As in a literal shout, it's surprising, isn't it?
"Francine Carrel Asuncion, Mateo! Oh wow, it's good, bebs!" Mia said excitedly which made me wince.
"It's not funny, Miriam." I said annoyed.
"Oh wow bebs, don't be like that, if you're mad at someone calling me by my real name? We're just me, bebs, don't kill me." he said while eating the apple he had cut earlier.
"Ah. I don't know!" I said annoyed while ruffling my hair.
"What's bothering you? Tito just introduced Mr. Handsome Mateo to you and he said he hopes that in the future you can be together." he said and I frowned at this Handsome Mateo and Rio is even more handsome than that.
"Not helping babies." I said so he hugged me.
"I'm sorry, let it go, just go with the flow." it's a promise.
"Just go with the flow? Hello. I have a jowa Ateng!" I said annoyed. My annoyance increased even more because he still hasn't responded to me since yesterday.
"Ah, really? You have a girlfriend? I don't seem to have been informed." especially teasing.
I gave him a hard time and took my phone and there was nothing.
I called him but he doesn't really answer, where is he?
K I N A U K A S A N โจ
After our class, I immediately went to Rio's classroom and I smiled when I saw him.
"Rio." I called and he turned to me and seemed even surprised.
I immediately approached him but I noticed the woman sitting at Rio's table myself so one of my eyebrows arched.
"Oh, is she your...uhm...what is it again? Oh girlfriend." it says that there is more sarcastic in 'Girlfriend'
"I have to go, bye, Ri!" he said and still winked, I was about to speak but Rio stopped me immediately.
"Hey, Babe, stop." it said.
"Who is she?" I asked seriously while looking straight at it.
"Whoah. Why do I feel like I am interrogating right now. Look, babe." he said and I seemed to realize.
"I'm sorry. You're not texting or replying to me, I just miss you." I promised and he sighed.
"I'm sorry, I'm just really busy...alright uhm...bye.." he said in a hurry so I frowned and followed him with a look after saying that and he left and disappeared in front of me like a bubble.
Wow! As in... I was stunned.
"So. Is he your boyfriend?" I turned to the speaker.
There was one man left in the classroom, his back was turned while he was sitting in front and his two feet were actually resting on his table.
"Do I know you?" I wondered.
He turned to me.
"Well, maybe." he answered then stood up and faced me and my eyes immediately widened.
"And you?! Are you always following me, huh?" I'm annoyed here.
"Are you a noob?" I laughed at this question and my lips parted.
"What kind of noob are you? Excuse me!"
"You're excused, young lady." he said and my nostrils widened immediately but I won't hit him, he's not even worth it, duh. I was about to turn away when he spoke.
"Wait. My parents want to meet you---"
"I don't care! I don't want to meet your parents---what did you? Your what? PARENTS? Well, I don't even know who your parents are, so now you're going to tell me that you're going to kiss me- --"
"Tss. What I am thinking? Marrying a noob girl, it's such a waste of time."
"Hey you! You've been calling me a noob a lot!" I said annoyed then followed him because he left after saying that, oh isn't it, bad manners.
"Arrghh!" I screamed in annoyance especially when it got away, why is it so fast?
________
I've already left the campus and I'll probably ride a tricycle, whatever.
I'm not young enough to be picked up and dropped off by my parents like my other school mates.
"Hey, noob girl!"
I immediately looked at the speaker.
"What? Aren't you going to stop me?"
"You know, I don't even want to do this so don't act." he said and I can't figure out what my face looks like now because of the pain I'm feeling.
"Okay, fine. I won't call you a noob anymore---"
"And really! My name is beautiful F---"
"Francine Carrel Mateo." it said, frowning my forehead.
"What are you Mateo?! No way!" I promised and left him, let him take care of his life no.
C O N T I N U E D OF C H A P T E R 1
I'll just walk. It's really good that Mr. That's Mateo, he's a fool, doesn't he know that someone like me who is kind, modest, slender and especially beautiful already has a boyfriend and that's Rio Cruz I said to myself as I singled it out on my finger
I was thinking of Mr. Mateo is arrogant until I get home.
"Carrel, come sit down." my Grandma Maureen called.
"What's that, Grandma?" I asked as I approached and waved.
"You don't love the man your father introduced you to?" It said that I tasted it, how about because I heard pure Tagalog, that's exactly how my Grandma spoke. Oh it's cool even if I'm already infected, jusme.
"Hey Grandma, first of all I'm too young to get married, secondly I have a...boyfriend." I promise that it took its breath away.
"Your current boyfriend is the reason you don't like the young man Trevon, what's wrong with that gentleman and you're rejecting Trevon like that, huh? Go ahead and give me the characteristics of the man you're talking about and that I understand?" Lola said that I kept quiet, what should I say? We've been dating for two years, but I don't even know anything about him, I haven't even met his parents.
"What makes you quiet, my grandson? Hey, okay, I won't force you for Trevon, but think carefully because I can assure you right now that Trevon is a good gentleman." he said and stood up.
I just lay down on the sofa where Grandma and I were talking earlier. I winced, good sir, Grandma, you're going to sell my name to the man you love and to the arrogant one.
I stood up and was about to go up to my room when someone texted me, I smiled because it might be Rio, but my smile immediately lost its width when I saw that unknown number, but I still read it.
'๐ ๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐โ๐ก? ๐๐๐๐ โ๐๐ ๐๐๐โ๐ก ๐๐๐ค, โ๐'๐ ๐๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐-๐๐ค๐๐ฆ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐
"
After I read that, I immediately rushed out and looked for a Cab or Taxi. Gosh, he's always like this, I tried to call the phone but it's out of coverage.
It took a while before I got to the Bar that the texter was talking about.
I try to call the number but it's out of coverage too.
I was about to go inside but the bouncers blocked me.
"No children here."
"Child? Excuse me ho, ha, I'm only in uniform but I'm eighteen and I'm just looking for someone." I promise.
"Even though you're still not allowed to enter and then why are you saying you're 18? You look like 16." he said and his companion laughed, which is why I was blown away.
"Hey, noob, what are you doing here?" asked a man and I immediately turned and Mr. That's arrogant.
"As for you, is it really up to this point, you, I can tell from you, you're a stalker!" I shouted and Kuyang Bouncer laughed.
"Sir Trevon, do you know that girl, she's been trying to get in for a while, she's pretending to be eighteen." it said.
Really! Wait, wait. Sir Trevon?! Wow.
"Yes I know her, and she's telling the truth, actually she's my fiancee." it said that my facial expression was different.
"What are you talking about?" I promise weakly.
"Sorry." sorry for that right away.
"You, we're not done!" I said and went inside and immediately looked for Rio but he wasn't there, actually it was almost full inside so it was impossible for me to find him right away, I had to drag this entire bar to find him.
"Noob."
I won't be surprised anymore and I'll just cry, he's only calling me Mayabang.
"If you're here because of your boyfriend he's outside." he said and I immediately looked at him.
"Thank you." I promised and went out and looked for it right away but I couldn't find it, I think that monkey just pranked me.
"Rio." I call and maybe I can be heard.
"Rio.."
"Rio-----"
I was stunned and speechless at what I saw. Rio is having sex in public, they are sitting behind the trunk of the car while the woman is sitting next to him.
I just held my mouth and couldn't speak, I just realized I was crying.
"F-Francine?!!" he shouted in shock and they immediately covered their clothes, and am I right, the woman grinned at me as if she was happy to see them.
I immediately turned around and walked away from him even though I heard him calling.
I just walked until I saw Mr. Arrogantly leaning against the car while smoking.
I just looked at him while crying and I couldn't even take a step anymore and it seemed like I was really weak.
When we both heard someone calling my name, I opened the car door so I got in and only saw Rio looking for me.
I took the handkerchief handed to me by Mr. Arrogant.
"Thank you..." I said while crying and wanted to give it back to him but he refused and started the car.
