Billionaire Diaries #2: Caleb Acosta

Special Chapter

"I hope you'll atleast be grateful with her efforts. She's really trying, " si Lily.

Caleb shrugged. He doesn't owe anyone. So it shouldn't concern him.

But no. Throughout the week, he was too bothered. Is she really that sick? It's been a whole week.

"Girlfriend?" Logan asked him one time. He's with Freesia. They are waiting for everyone when Logan, a friend from the equestrian club before, approached him.

It was too unusual for Logan to do that. But then he remembered, Logan is Kelly's brother.

"A friend, " he replied.

Kumunot lang ang noo nito at umalis na. Hope he won't spread any fake informations. It's not that Logan's nosy. But who knows.

It was monday. Papunta na siya sa building nang makita niya si Kelly na mukhang may hinihintay. She doesn't have her friends with her. Which is weird.

"Hi!" she greeted when he went passed on her.

Tumango siya. He doesn't know how to converse with a kid.

"U-Uh, can we talk?"

Naglakad ito nang mabilis at hinarang siya sa unahan. She's kind of nervous. Hawak nito sa magkabilang kamay ang strap ng bagpack.

"What is it?"

He's going to be late. Little kids are really a distraction.

"Kasi may nagsabi sa 'kin na may girlfriend ka daw. Uh, it's not.. true, right?"

Napapakit siya nang mariin. Ganito na ba talaga ang mga bata ngayon?

Where did she got that idea, though? Logan?

"P-Pero kasi sa pagkakaalam ko wala ka namang girlfriend. Pero sabi nila meron daw kaya.. magtatanong sana ako sayo. " Her face was red. Pati ang ilong namumula.

Caleb doesn't want to hurt a little girl so.. "I don't have a girlfriend, " he replied.

Nanlaki ang mata nito. "Really?!" Pati siya nagulat sa reaksyon nito. The girl bit her lip, probably embarrassed. "I mean.. really.. "

Caleb just nodded. He suddenly remember her absence for the whole week. Pinasadahan niya ito ng tingin. Mukha namang maayos.

"You're absent for the whole week. Why is that?"

She looks so shock. "How did you know?"

Napaiwas siya ng tingin. "We sort out your section's attendance rate for a research. "

Damn. That's a lie. But who cares.

She nodded. "So, you really have no girlfriend?"

He licked his lips. "No girlfriend. "

Oh boy. It seems like an angel passed when she smiled.

Pauwi na siya ng hapong iyon. He went to his bag but got confused when his bag became too heavy. Wala namang laman iyon dahil hindi pa niya nalalagay ang lap top sa bag.

Caleb opened it. Gulat niyang tinignan ang malaking jar ng cookies at isang maliit na box ng cup cake. He saw a note.

I hope you'll like it.

Love,
Kelly Lane <3

It has a fucking lip stain in the end. What was that?

Wow. Her advances upgraded, huh?

He chuckled. Ngunit napawi rin ang tawa nang may maalala. Fuck off, Caleb. That's a kid.

How old is she? 16? 17? A big no. That's not even moral.
