Deal with the Bad Boy

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Maaga akong nagising kinabukasan. Gising na si Kelly nang bumangon ako kaya naman gulat na gulat siya nang makitang gising na ako.

"Woah. Am I dreaming? Are you real?" She pinched my cheeks. Naiinis na pinalis ko ang kamay niya kaya naman napasinghap siya.

"Oh my. This must be a miracle!"

"Shut up, Kels." I rolled my eyes at her.

Hinayaan ko siyang mabaliw dun at pumasok na sa banyo para maligo. Nang matapos ako sa pagligo ay mabilis akong pumasok sa walk in closet at nagpalit ng school uniform. I was applying some lipgloss on my lips when my phone vibrated. Inabot ko yun mula sa table at sinagot ang tawag nang hindi tinitignan ang screen.

"Hello?"

"Are you done?" I heard Clove's voice on the other line. Napatigil ako sa paglalagay ng lipgloss at tinignan ang screen ng cellphone ko. When I made sure that it's really Clove, ibinalik ko ulit yun sa tenga ko.

"I'm almost done. Why?"

God. Why does it feel so natural to talk to him like this? Am I comfortable to him? That fast?

"I'll wait for you outside the dorm." Sabi niya.

"Ha? Bakit? Matagal pa ako."

"You said you're almost done."

I made a face. "You don't know what that means in our dictionary."

I heard him groan. "How many minutes, princess?"

"Princess?" Natawa ako. "Of all endearments, why princess?"

"Do I have to explain it to you?" Mahina siyang natawa.

"Umh, nope." I smirked. "About 20 minutes? Kill some time while I prepare. It's your fault for wanting to wait for me."

I ended the call before he can even complain. Mahina akong natawa at napailing. I suddenly remember what happened last night. Sabay kaming bumalik nun sa dorm pagkatapos naming mag-usap. Ilang beses pa niyang sinigurado kung sure ba ako na payag ako sa deal niya. Siguro ay hindi parin siya kumbinsido na gusto ko talaga.

I asked him why he wanted me to be his girl. Naalala ko lang na yun ang gusto niyang kapalit sa pagtulong sa akin. He just said it's for fun. He told me that he saw an opportunity when he found out that Steven was cheating on me that's why he offered me the deal. Hindi ko na naman siya kinulit pa kahit na hindi ako sigurado kung maniniwala ba ako sa dahilan niya o ano.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at binuksan ang facebook account ko. I saw a notification. Galing yun kay Clove at nagrerequest siya ng relationship request. My jaw dropped and a smirked found its way on my lips. I accepted his relationship request.

Sunod kong pinuntahan ay ang twitter at ig ko. Hinanap ko ang account niya at hindi naman ako nahirapan dahil sikat siya. I followed him on twitter and ig. Seconds later, he followed me back. Nakita ko pa siyang nagtweet sa twitter.

Patiently waiting for my princess. Why do girls take forever to fix themselves, anyway?

Wala pang isang minuto ang tweet niya pero halos sumabog na sa likes at replies yun. Isa isa kong tinignan ang mga reply at nakitang halos puro fan girls niya ang mga 'yon.

Oh my God! Who are you pertaining to?

Do you have a girlfriend?

Taken ka na?

I saw your facebook account! You're in a relationship with the captain of the cheerleading squad?!

Nara Kang? Oh my God!
