"Let's enroll together on Monday, ha! I said goodbye to Mama so you can take time off from work that day!" said Rose when she visited me at the coffee shop after telling me about a man she met on a dating app.
"Are you sure Tita is okay?"
"Yes!"
I nodded and smiled. "Thank you ..."
"Sage will pick you up today?"
"Yes why?"
"I hope all the lovelife is abundant, what?" She laughed. I was shaken.
"Because I would have taken you to the mall, eh! You know, like we always do. You can bring your boyfie and then I'll bring a boylet for happy–"
"I do not have a boyfriend."
He smirked. "It's ungrateful, oh! Just your baby boy Mongreco!"
"Stop it, Rose!"
He laughed. "Okay, fine! Your poging driver. Okay?"
"I'm not his driver either." That term doesn't suit him.
"E, what? Your wife, girl? Is also the height of the dream!" she joked and sipped on her milkshake. Her eyes rolled. I just chuckled.
<He opened the door for me. I bit my lower lip subtly when I noticed how his forehead creased. I took a deep breath and faced him when he got out."So ... when are you going home?" I tried to sound normal this time.He leaned against the front seat door. The wind blew through my hair so I grabbed it. He glanced at my hair, pursing his lips more."What, Sage?""Do you want me to go home?" he asked again. I stopped myself from answering the question. Maybe because I’m afraid of making a mistake in answering."You asked that before.""And you didn't answer it properly."My tongue is sticking out. How should I answer that one? And why does he even need to know if I want him to come home or not? I think it doesn't matter. Because no matter what I say, he goes home and goes home anyway. He is not from here."I don't think I have to answer that. My opinion doesn't matter." I smiled a bit to hide my uneasineness."You sound
"Oh, is that your face? You have a period, girl?" said Rose and took my arm. She looked around. "Brenda said your baby boy is here. Where is he — oh, he's there!"I lowered his hand to point at Sage. I pulled her towards Brenda."Why is there a woman with that? Wait, it's Lorie, isn't it? Your guest from the Education Department?""Yes, that's him.""Hey, why did you leave? I'm sure he's flirting with Sage, Kaia! Yard your man properly! Don't let that slut steal something from you!""There's nothing to steal, Rose. What do I care if Lorie flirts with her? She seems to love it so they'll take care of it," I said bitterly. I almost struggled with annoyance."Why are you late, Benita Rose ?!" said Brenda as we approached her. She was talking with a boy earlier. He also moved away as soon as he saw us approaching."I even bought drinks! I brought brandys and whiskeys! They were in the car. Those are my gifts to you because we're goi
"There's nothing to fix!" My voice raised."Tell me.""Just leave me alone, will you?"He scoffed. "How can I let you if I know you're mad at me, huh? Do you think I can just leave you alone with this cold treatment? That's bullshit, Kaia."Yeah. It is bullshit. Really."Are you mad because I talked that way about your admirer?" He asked, annoyed.I gritted my teeth. Thinking of it now, I can't pinpoint the exact reason why I am this mad. Yes, I was annoyed because his comment to Warren was bad. But that's too petty for me to get mad like this.Or maybe I'm just afraid to accept the real reason why I am acting like this."I'll be back there." I tried to walk but he held me again."Let me go!" bulyaw ko. His grip loosened, taken aback with my rage. He moved his mouth and backed away slightly."Don't touch me again," I said emphatically.I walked out without looking at him. I went back to the table only to se
"The heat! Can't we just insert in the queue? There are a lot of people who like you there so I'm sure they'll let us go first," Rose said while shrugging herself with her hand. I can't count how many times he struggled."That's not possible, what are you. Maybe before we can enroll the women in the back will pick us up."Rose just kept on renting. Many were the first to get the priority number because it took us a while to arrive. Brenda namana is supposed to enroll on the second day. He still seems to have a walk today.It was past twelve when we finished there. He almost got into a fight because a woman bumped into him and he almost fell down. Fortunately, I stopped. Rose really has a bad temper especially and she just came from a long wait."Will you eat?" Kenneth asked."Yes. Don't come along," Rose said once dragging me off campus. I turned to Kenneth and found him shaking. I mouthed, 'sorry' and he just nodded. Two men approached him so I fa
I went to the kitchen and and washed my hands. I leaned on the sink then. I looked down on the floor and crossed my arms as I shut my eyes tightly. I took another deep breath."Why did you leave there?"I almost jumped and suddenly my eyes widened when someone suddenly spoke. I saw Sage walking towards me. I can feel like my heart had plans on wrecking my chest because of it's rapid beating."Can't stand your jealousy, huh?" he asked coldly.My heart beat faster when he stopped in front of me."You shouldn't be surprised. Livius is no prince charming, Kaia." His jaw clenched.Jealousy? Livius? What is he saying?"I do not know what you're saying.""Your mixed signals is fucking frustrating."I can not talk. I couldn't even understand what he was saying!"Why are you here? Go b
Sage brought me to their table. Lorie was nowhere to be found. Only his friend is left. Sage offered me the seat next to him, so there I sat. Jonas faked a cough that made my cheeks burned. With his swearing earlier I’m sure he saw what happened."Kaia, aren't you singing?" Livius turned to me. I felt Sage's hand touching my shoulder. His arm was on the ledge of my chair. It was like putting lines on his territory.Jonas playfully smirked."Maybe later ..." he glanced at Mama who was karaoke. I don't want to ruin their moment. Besides, I think I like it better ..."You want us to duet? I'm good!" Livius suggested that made Sage hissed."Silly! There might be an earthquake when you sing!" bara ni Jonas na natatawa."I'm ashamed of you! You're good at singing, huh? That's why when you locked up that Crim student, you were ignored! You were so stupid!""She has a boyfriend, idiot! So she doesn't touch me because she's loyal to her
"Outside were Livius and Carson. It's eight o'clock so they have to leave. "I nodded. After they left Livius I immediately returned to the room. I lay down on my bed, wishing I could sleep but ended up staring at the wooden ceiling for a long time.After idling for almost an hour, I grabbed my phone. There were messages there from Rose but I didn't open them. I looked at Sage and I's message thread. He still has no reply. If so, he was actually with Tania as Carson said.I sighed bitterly and turned my phone off. I put it on the side table. I tried to sleep again but I still couldn't really sleep.I just went down and mixed Milo. After I drank that, I went back to the room. I thought the hot drink would help me sleep but it didn't.I looked at the wall clock. It's 9:30 PM. Usually, this is the day Sage calls on weekdays. We texted last night. Today I have not received any text from him. Maybe he got tired of it. Who is the man who will just settle
After foundation week I was busy with activities like booths and whatnot. Sage visits me once or twice a week.And I am contented with that. I know he's busy too because he's been here for the last year. I don't even want him to remember me. I am busy in school. I know he also have his own requirements.Even so he never fails to text me every day. He always finds a time to remind me to eat and do my homeworks. He calls me at night, too. That is if we are both idle.I sighed while on stage, helping to decorate there for the Miss Asian College to be held tomorrow.I was asked by my blockmates to represent the Accountancy Department. A professor of ours also asked me about that. But I refused.My interest is not in line with pageants. That's why Rose was our representative. He didn't want to at first because he didn't really participate in such things.But I pushed him because my classmates might still be pressuring me. Aside from that, Rose is
