Three: Defense

last update Last Updated: 2020-10-12 00:33:23

I blinked four times. I just had to be really, really sure I wasn't dreaming. For goodness sake, this dude was literally one of the most famous guys on campus. How could he call me pretty? Or wait, did he seriously want a hookup? Damn, he had come to the wrong lady. 

"Um, hey?" I furrowed my eyebrows at him, denoting I was confused. 

He waggled something in the air. Moving my eyes to it, I gasped on seeing my necklace. How in the world did he get that? I must have forgotten to put it on. 

"How did you—"

"Huh-uh." He grasped it the moment I attempted to take it from him, hid it behind him. No, no. That necklace wasn't something anyone could play around with. 

I glared at him. "Can you please give it to me? I don't play around with it."

He licked his lips, winked at me. Gross. 

"You're sure about that?" He raised his eyebrows at me, smiled. "I mean, if it's important, you wouldn't drop it."

I gritted my teeth, trying as much as possible to not flare up. "Anyone can drop a necklace, Mister. So, for goodness sake, give. Me. My. Necklace."

"Woah, it's just a necklace. Is there a—"

"Sup, Roy?" Someone shove an arm around him. Spotting the person, I sighed. It was him again, Jason Gerald. The guy who claimed he loved Bella, but didn't know how to be faithful to her. It was good Bella had gone to class. If she had to see him, there'd be a commotion. 

"Hey, Jason." I faked a smile. I truly never liked to greet him. He was a total dick and pretender. 

He grinned. "I'm good, you?"

"Same."

Turning back to Roy, I was surprised to see his eyes widely opened. What now?

For a moment, they both muttered some things to each other, and that absolutely irritated me. My class had started for jeez' sake! What was Roy gonna gain by capturing my necklace? Although I didn't know what that necklace indicated, I still loved it so much. I'd been wearing it for years, so I was so used to having it with me. 

"Hey." I exhaled, becoming quite impatient. Noticing they were deep in their mutter, I cried, "Hey!" And, that made them flinch. 

"You startled me." Jason held his chest, blinking like the idiot he was. 

I tucked some strands of my hair to the back of my hair, tried to smile. "Please, I need my necklace. I have to get to class now."

"In that case…" Roy stepped closer, put his hands into the pocket of his jean trouser, smiled. "Let's go together. I get my lectures in the same faculty as you. I'm a senior there."

My eyes uncontrollably widened. Woah, what? He knew the faculty I was? Was he playing around?

"H-How do you know my faculty?" I was puzzled. 

"Take your necklace." He took my hand, dropped the necklace in my palm. "But, don't misplace it again. It's gold. Every girl likes gold."

"Okay." I nodded. "Thanks."

He turned to Jason, poked Jason's shoulder. "See you later, man. I've gotta deal with something here."

"Sure." Jason walked away. 

He smiled widely at me. He was cute. So cute. Of course, there was no lady who saw him, and wouldn't dare to fall for his cuteness. But, irrespective of how handsome he was, I tried to not be one of those ladies who drooled for him. I had a lot of things to think about, speaking of thinking about a cute boy. 

"Let's go." He held my hand, forced me to follow him. How rude. Had I told him I was going to go with him?

"So, what's your name?" He broke the short silence between us. 

I glared. I absolutely didn't like his company. We had only been walking together for less than a minute, but it felt like an hour. I was so, so nervous. What made me more nervous was the fact that people were staring at us. I hated to get people's attention unnecessarily. 

"Fart," I replied to him, jerking my hand from his hold. "PS, I don't need you to hold me. I'm not comfortable with it."

"Oh, sorry." We turned to the next hallway, close to our faculty. Why was my department so far today? Ah, what was with today? 

I tried to walk fast, and also tried to not look him in the eye. But, he seemed to be a really fast walker as well. The moment I walked faster, I bumped into someone. Shit, today was definitely bad. The person had to be Amy Walter. This bratty lady. 

"Oh my gosh!" She exclaimed. As usual, that dramatic-queen-attitude was in her tone. 

Looking up at me, there was a deep glare on her face. Her lips were pursed, her grey eyes holding so much wrath. Wasn't it just a mere bump? What was wrong with her? I'd admit, she looked crazy and unkempt. Her brown hair was tousled, and she definitely didn't look like the rich meanie I knew. 

"I'm sorry," I apologized. 

"Sorry?" She scoffed, linked her arms on her chest. "For goodness sake, do you know how much this dress costs?"

Moving my eyes to her dress, I noticed coffee stains on it. Oh, that must be the reason she was upset. I accidentally spilled her coffee on her dress. 

"O-Oh. I'm sorry about that." I took a small towel from my pocket, stretched my hand to give it to her. "Here. You can use this to clean it up. I guess it'll be of help."

"Wow!" She exclaimed, glared even harder. Woah, woah, woah. One thing I knew was I was never gonna take shit from a brat. 

"Excuse me?" I raised an eyebrow at her, getting equally mad. 

She scoffed again, flicked her long hair over her shoulder, moved her gaze from me. "Why am I even surprised? Your one year income won't buy this dress, so I shouldn't expect you to know how expensive it is."

That was it. Just because she was rich, didn't mean she had to say something that stupid. Angered, just about to say something, a bunch of morons began to laugh around us. 

Confused, I scanned my eyes through the place, only for me to see a crowd around us. This was what I hated. Attention. How the heck did they quickly form a circle around us? They were here to learn!

When I turned back to Amy, she had an ugly smirk on her lips. "Five hundred bucks will do the laundry. Do you have up to that? Or will you use your hands to wash it?"

Again, they burst out laughing. What was funny? At this point, I felt close to tears. I never liked to be embarrassed. But, no matter what, I wouldn't leave here until I spoke back to her. 

"This isn't—"

"What's wrong with you?" Roy's deep voice covered the hallway, cut into me. 

Huh? 

I stared up at him. Funnily enough, he was glaring at her. Why was he angry? Did he know me from somewhere? 

"Excuse me?" Amy snorted, that frown beaming on her face again. "What's wrong with you, Roy? You're—"

"If it's the money you need…" he took his wallet from the pocket of his denim jacket. "Have this." Damn, he threw money at her. "That's one thousand. It's double. I don't think it's right to embarrass someone for a mere accident. If you find joy in doing that, then maybe you should learn it's not nice." 

She gawked, obviously shocked to see him do that. "Roy?" She blinked like a lost pig. "D-Did you just? What? F-For this thing? You just..."

He grabbed my hand. "One thing I know is, it's wrong to make anyone feel terrible for a mere mistake. Anyone, absolutely anyone, can make a mistake."

With that, he dragged me from the crowd. I looked down because I was quite embarrassed, but I smiled. I smiled because I was happy I didn't have to leave there, being completely embarrassed. 

Reaching our faculty, he released my hand from his. And staring up at him, a small smile grew on my lips. "Thanks for that, even though I don't know why you did it," I said. 

He returned my smile. "I can't bear to see a poor lady being embarrassed like that."

"Thanks. See you some other time," I added. Just about to walk past him, he held my wrist back. Gradually, I moved my eyes to his face. 

"You haven't told me your name. I can't call you fart, right?" He denoted. 

I chuckled. "I'm Renee."

"Roy," he declared. 

Of course he was Roy. Who didn't know that? Well, I just nodded, pretending as if I didn't know his name. I had to be cool too. 

"Bye." He gave me a thumbs up, winked, walked first.

I just remained in my tracks like a dummy. What? So this wasn't a dream? I spoke to the hot dude? Maybe today wasn't so bad after all. 

With a small smile, I walked to my department.

    The cool breeze staggered through us, teased my hair, causing goosebumps to rise on the exposed part of my skin. I smiled as I stared up at the sky, so happy. Particularly happy because Roy was with me. He had his arms around my waist from behind, no inch left between us."When will you return?" I asked him, my voice soft.He pecked my ear. "In a week. You'll miss me?""Hmm, maybe."He sighed. "Renee, I'm so glad we're finally going to be happy.""Me too." I sighed."I can't wait for you to graduate. We'll be able to leave here, and start a life together," he said.That melted my heart. So he also wanted to start a life with me? So nice."Yeah."Dropping another kiss on my ear, he stepped backwards, held my arms, and twirled me around to face him. He looked stre

  • Chasing his   Forty Seven: Threat

    "Pancake or?" I gave Mom a questioning look, waiting patiently for her to answer my question.She sighed. "Pizza. Just order a pizza.""Good." I grinned at her, rushing to get my phone from the living room. I was particularly happy because I wouldn't have to cook any longer.I logged in to the website of the store I loved to order food from, and ordered a pizza immediately. Done with that, I sauntered back to the kitchen.Stepping in, I sighted mom first. She was glued to her phone, and for some reason, sweat seeped on her forehead. Her eyes were widely open, and she swallowed. She looked tense."Mom?" Hearing my voice, she flinched.She blinked about two hundred times in one second, inhaled hard. "Oh, dear. Have you ordered the pizza?"I nodded, pulling a concerned look. "Mom, what's going on? Why do you see

  • Chasing his   Forty six: Home

    I watched as Virg packed her stuff, tears in my eyes. Her mom was here to take her home. And, I didn't know when next I would see her. She said she wasn't sure she would survive the cancer, and thinking about that, I was even more fearful. I just couldn't think of losing her."When will the dorms be shut?" She asked, snapped her neck in my direction, smiled at me."Um…" I smiled to ensure she didn't notice the tears in my eyes. "Tomorrow, I think.""That means y'all will be leaving today, right?" She zipped her big box, starting to arrange her bed."Yeah. Barb left yesterday," I informed her."Honey." Mrs. Julio, Virg's mom, ambled into the room.This woman was definitely the youngest mom I had ever seen. Tall, slim, her dark skin so fresh, curvy figure, and her partial grey hair always neatly styled.

  • Chasing his   Forty five: Silly

    The elevator stopped when it reached the floor of Roy's Condo. Stepping out, I headed to the condo. Smiling, I took a glance at the cookie I had made for him. And, raising my neck, that was when I had to bump into someone. I would admit, I was quite clumsy.Ah. Shit. No. Not now. This moron, Kathleen. What the heck was she doing here?She scoffed. "Damn, you again? Whenever I see you, I always feel like starting my day over.""Stupid," I muttered, scoffed as well. "Woman, you think highly of yourself. Funnily enough, you've got a really low standard. A person who can stoop so low as stealing a babe's guy, has no class at all.""Blah blah." She flapped her hand in the air, rounded her eyes like the idiot she was, sneered as well. "Poor you. I'm so sorry for you. Like I'll say, that dude's mine. And it's so sad you're not willing to back off."I sighed in frustration. "

  • Chasing his   Forty four: Deal

    I moved my lips, but said nothing. I was so shocked. How had it happened? How had she gotten to meet a boy? This sounded too crazy to be true."Bella, how did it happen?" I managed to ask.She stopped wailing, put her eyes down, sobbed. "A few weeks ago, I went to the club. I wanted to speak with you, but you weren't there. Your boss said you weren't working that night. And then, I-I saw Jason there.""Jason?" I dropped my mouth. So she slept with that idiot? Really?"Yeah." She rubbed off the tears on her cheek. "He offered to have a drink with me, and I accepted. I didn't want to, but I thought it would be a good way to get rid of the stress I felt.""Oh goodness." Barb slapped her hands against her forehead, probably knowing where Bella was leading her story to.Bella sniffed. "We both got drunk. He drove us to the hotel, and then, we&hel
