Chapter 4: The Playboy, The Serious, and The Friendly.

Everything that happened was still fresh in my mind. I can still remember how they bullied me. How they made my life a living hell! To the point that I had to plea to Mom to transfer me into another school just to avoid them.

And now that they are here with me again, I’m afraid that they will do the same as what they’ve done to me before. But instead of telling this to Mom, I chose to shut my mouth. I don’t want to ruin her happiness just because I have a past with the triplets.

After introducing ourselves, we started to eat dinner. I was quiet the whole time, even though Mom and Fernando were talking to the triplets. Like me, Caled was silent, Spencer kept on joking green jokes while Drake was answering Mom politely. 

“How was my Ginny at school?” Mom asked.

I almost choked on my saliva when Mom asked that.

“Mom!” I yelped.

Mom glanced at me with her smiling face. “What? I was just asking.”

“It’s already in the past…”

“She’s very innocent, Sharlene,” Spencer smiled. 

“To be honest, I don’t remember. It has been six years,” Caled replied. “But I remember her being always the top of our class.”

I shook my head and then rolled my eyes upon hearing that from them. They both know that they bullied me back in high school. Everyday, they never once stopped bullying me. Asking me to do their homeworks and other stuff that I shouldn’t be doing.

But because no one wants to help me, I have nothing to do but just let them. The trauma and pain that they caused me, forever pierced me.

“What about you, Ginny? Do you remember how they were as your classmates?” Fernando asked.

I put down my spoon and fork then smiled before I answered. “Well, they were school bullies.”

“Oh! Really?” Mom asked, surprised. “You were transferred into another school because of bullies right?”

I saw how the three of them turned pale. Drake even coughs and clears his throat.

“Yes, but they’re not the ones who bullied me.” I replied, swallowing the bitterness on my throat.

“I remembered how teachers at their school always asked for me because they bullied their classmates!” Fernando shook his head. “I’m glad they’ve changed now!”

“That’s good. Because bullying is not right,” Mom added.

The dinner went well with their stories. While I continue eating and listening to them. After dinner, Mom went to her bedroom with Fernando while I walked straight to mine. 

However, right before I could enter my bedroom, Spencer quickly blocked the door. His smirking face was the first one I noticed. I almost jumped out of shock because of him.

“What is it?!” I asked, mad. 

If they could bully me before, now they couldn’t. I have all the courage to stop them from bullying me more than on my younger self.

“Hey, calm down, Virginia,” he smiled.

I gritted my teeth when he called me that name. He always called me that which I really hate so much!

“It’s Ginny,” I replied. “What do you want?”

He bites his lower lip before answering me. “Well, I just want to apologize.”

“Now that I’ve already moved on?” I asked. 

“Well, I know that what I’ve done to you back then was too hideous. I’m guilty of that. I badly wanted to apologize to you, will you accept my apology?”

“I can’t. I won’t,” I replied. Then I pushed him away from me. “Please get out of my sight before I tell this to Mom and your Dad.”

I thought Spencer would push himself to me, but he didn’t. He just let me go inside of my bedroom. 

I closed my eyes and sighed. If it was easy for him to ask for my forgiveness, then it was hard for me to give it to him.

Spencer was a pervert. Among them, he’s the playboy. I even remembered how he stripped my clothes that day…

“Dance, Ginny! There baby, you’re so hot! Damn!” he chuckled as I dance while my tears were running down my cheeks.

“P-please don’t post it online…” I pleaded.

“Sure, sure, I won’t. I’ll just watch this video while I jerk off,” he laughed. “Come on, sway your hips baby. There!”

God knows how many times I pleaded him to stop recording me while I danced with only underwear. But he didn’t stop. He was enjoying himself while I danced there. If not because of a teacher who was roaming around the court, he won’t stop.

I closed my eyes tightly as I remembered that scenario. It still haunts me ‘til now…

I was about to go to my bed when a knock stopped me. Thinking that it was just the butler, a maid or my Mom, I opened the door only to find Drake standing there. He was holding a glass of milk.

“Hey, I thought you might need some milk to help you put to sleep,” he said and then smiled. 

Drake bullied me too, but unlike his two brothers, he was just laughing and following his brothers’ orders.

“How do I know it doesn't have poison?” I asked as I looked into him.

Drake smiled widely before he took a sip on the glass of milk. He drank almost half of it before he forcely gave me the glass.

“I didn’t die. You can drink that,” he replied. “I have to go to my bedroom now. Good night!”

Still wondering, I just shrugged and then went back inside. Instead of drinking the milk, I put it on the side table as I walk inside the bathroom. 

Even though the bathroom was elegant, I still couldn't believe that this was actually happening…

As I went out of the shower, my eyes widened to see Caled there. He was roaming his eyes around my bedroom.

“Why the hell are you here?!” I shouted.

Caled turned his attention to me. His eyes scanned me from head to toe before he looked up at my face. 

“You just got out of your bathroom?” Caled asked.
