Allysa Chloe Hernandez

Monday morning I woke up early because I didn't want to be late for school.

I feel fine because I rested for almost a week. I didn't even attend our fellowship at the church because I really needed to rest and my Dad didn't allow me either because he might wonder how I would be there.

After I showered and changed into my school uniform, I went downstairs. Carrying my shoulder bag, I went straight to the dining area and saw my brother, Allen.

"Where's Mom and Dad Allen?"

I ask him.

"They already left early. They say they have an early meeting with the client. Sit down and eat. I'll take you to school."

He commanded.

I sat on the seat opposite him and I started eating. I got a sandwich, hotdog, bacon and also Manang made me some hot chocolate.

When my brother noticed that I took the same sandwich, he spoke.

"Eat a lot Allysa. Dieting isn't trendy right now."

Then he took another sandwich and put it on my plate.

"Eat it."

He commanded with a smile as if he was still teasing me.

"Fine."

I answered him. Maybe he noticed that I didn't eat much these days because I was too busy reviewing because of our exam week.

After eating and doing my skin care routine, I went out. My Brother Allen is waiting for me while leaning on his red Ferrari 458 car. So he's going to drive one of his favorite cars. He will brag about that since it was a gift he received from Dad as a birthday gift to him.

When he saw me, he entered the car. I followed and sat in the front seat. After I put on my seat belt, we left.

After arriving at the school's parking area, the other students were looking at us. Especially the female students. They just want to approach us. Maybe because of the car or I say because of my brother. Well he's driving one of the most expensive cars.

He got down and opened the car door for me.

"What are you doing? I can go down alone."

I asked him, annoyed.

"I just want to see something. Maybe to see the reaction of your suitors if there is any. I'm sure they're watching you now."

He said teasingly.

"Stop messing around bro. You're annoying. Leave now. You’re gonna be late."

While I was still pushing him to get into his car.

Then I walked into the gate of our university. It's really good that we attended different universities. I’m pretty sure that every day my head will hurt from the teasing he does. By the way he's taking Criminal Law at an All boys university in the other town.

"I'll fetch you later baby."

He screamed which pissed me off even more. I didn't look at him anymore and I quickly walked away from him because the other students were already looking at me. I don't know what he’s up to. He was really stubborn, and couldn't wait to go home. I'm gonna punch him later. Maybe what the students think is different. They still don't know that it's my brother.

When I got close to the Business Administration Building, someone called me. It was Bea, my best friend.

"Good morning Allysa."

She greeted me with a smile.

"Good morning too. Have you been here for a while?"

I also smiled and said to her.

"Just now."

I answered her.

While we were going up to the second floor of our building, I told him what happened during the community service.

I also mentioned to her about Kent Liam and guess what she was thrilled while I was telling the story.

He searched his username and then she followed him.

"Why did you follow him?"

I asked her. 

"What are you doing? I just want to be updated on his life. I feel like you already have a crush on him."

She said with a smile.

"No, no. You keep saying I just met him last weekend and then you say I'll have a crush on him right away."

I deny.

"Don't deny it. I can see the smile while you're talking about him duh"

"Stop it Bea, you're just imagining things."

I told her. Because it looks like this woman won't stop teasing me.

Even when we were inside the room, Bea didn't stop asking me questions about Kent Liam. Why is she really curious?

After a while, our instructor arrived, which was good, in order for this naughty friend of mine to stop teasing me. 

While Sir Michael was discussing, I will never forget what Bea said earlier. Maybe I have a little crush on him. Because he's cute and super kind. The way he speaks is full of gentleness.

When Sir Michael finished discussing it was lunch time. We got off the building and went straight to the cafeteria. I just ordered rice, sisig and pineapple juice. While Bea and I were eating, she asked.

"Hey Allysa, how did you thank Kent Liam after what happened?"

"Why are you so curious? You've been around for a while now, please can you stop, maybe this conversation will go somewhere else.."

I asked her. This woman is really naughty.

"Nothing. I just want to know how to say thank you the only Allysa Chloe Hernandez."

She said with a smile.

"Fine, Just eat. I'll tell you later. Okay"

"You can invite him to a restaurant.”

She suggested while laughing.

"Stop it, Bea Anne. I don’t want to be misinterpreted. Who am I to ask him for dinner? You know guys these days. They might even misunderstand me."

But deep inside I know that Kent Liam is different. I'm just saying that so that my best friend will stop teasing me.

After eating, we went straight to the ladies comfort room of the cafeteria. Before we entered we heard someone talking inside. Bea and I were about to leave when I heard them mention my name. So what we did was we stayed outside the comfort room to hear what they were talking about.

"You know what Kylie, the plan you made last week was really great. You'd think that we were able to put Ma'am Joy's answer key in Allysa's bag without any difficulty."

Said by the voice from inside. So they are the ones who set me up. I'm a kind person, but when I have a conversation like this, I won't miss it. I was embarrassed by our university Dean and my Mom as well as my other classmates because of them. I even did community service and passed out because of the accusations that I didn't actually do.

I wanted to open the comfort room door and rush in but Bea stopped me. I want to pull their hair one by one. Why did they do that?

What is my fault with them?

Bea calmed me down and showed me that she had recorded on her cell phone the conversation of the people inside. I know there are not only two inside. Maybe there are three of them.

"Yes, it's good for her. She deserves that. She’s a slut and attention-seeker."

That's Kyline's voice I’m pretty sure. 

Wait, why are they calling me a slut and attention-seeker.? As far as I know, I'm not that kind of person. 

After a while, Bea pulled me away from the opposite side of the door because it looked like they were going out. When they left the cafeteria, we followed. They went straight to the garden of Business Ad. Department and sat on the benches there.

I couldn't stop myself anymore and I approached Kyline to confront her. Bea followed me.

"Why did you do that Kyline?"

I initially asked her.

I don't want to sound rude so I try to calm myself down.

She even seemed surprised by my sudden approach.

"I'm sorry Allysa but what are you talking about?"

She asked, confused.

She's a great pretender huh.

"Don't hide it anymore. We heard your conversation in the comfort room earlier. Why did you do that? Why did you put Ma'am Joy's missing answer key in my bag? Why did you set me up?"

I asked her questions one after another.

"That's out of line, Allysa. What you said is just a false accusation."

Joylyn said, she is also one of our classmates and Kyline's best friend.

"That's not a false accusation. That's the truth. Here's the evidence."

And Bea showed her cellphone while playing the recorded audio of their conversation.

They were surprised to hear this. Claire approached us and faced us with her crossed arms.

"Well you deserved that because you're a thief."

She spoke straight in front of us.

I couldn't stop myself anymore and I rushed at Claire. I immediately pulled her hair. I really hate it when people accuse me for the things I didn't do.

Later on, Kyline also joined in trying to pull my hair, which Bea stopped. While Joylyn asked for help from other students to go to us. But I won't stop. How dare they accuse me of stealing and because of that they were able to set me up to embarrass me from the other students and the dean of our university.

When some seniors came, we were separated. Both of our hair is messy and my arm is scratched because of what Kyline did.

A senior man was holding me by the arm when I spoke.

"Can you please let me go."

I said angrily to the man holding my arm.

Then he let go of me. I glared at him because his grip on my arm hurt so much.

His hand is heavy.

Before I left, I approached Kyline and spoke.

"Next time you make a plan to embarrass me, make sure it's clean, the one that won't get  any evidence. And please tie up your dog so it doesn't bark at others if that's the only thing that you are worried about."

I said flatly to her. When I looked at the man who picked me up earlier, he was smiling while looking at me. What's wrong with him? It's annoying.

Before he left. He said something in a small voice but I heard him. I just ignored him.  

“Tsss. trouble maker.”

After that I pulled Bea to leave because we were drawing too much attention to other students.

"Allysa, did you do something stupid again?"She asked me."Why?"I asked her. "Well the dean just called me earlier. She said there was an issue about you that needed to be discussed. What did you do again? Allysa can you please start to avoid some troubles. You're not a child anymore."Maybe Kyline and her friends complained to the dean's office earlier.

They immediately agreed, got up and walked towards the dining area while I followed behind them, as did Dave Arkiel as if he was forced to do what he was doing. My brother was almost walking with me while smiling. I know he wants to tease me because I'm sure he can tell I'm nervous. He just couldn't because we had guests. When they arrived at the dining area, my Mom and Dad and the Enriquez couple sat down first. I was about to sit in the seat next to my Mom when Dave Arkiel suddenly came and pulled a chair for me. What a gentleman or maybe just trying to impress. "Thank you." The only thing I said to him while smiling. He smiled back. I noticed that my brother laughed for a moment. He was really teasing me.

During the trip, we kept talking."Brother Allen what do you think about the man who will be Allysa's soon to be fiance?"Bea suddenly asked my brother Allen. Why did she have to ask that?"Well he's good. They're good. He's even a gentleman, isn't he? Allysa?"My Brother Allen said with a smile while grinning at me.

They will worry and may even send us home. I decided not to tell them in order to continue our weekend getaway.Dave Arkiel helped me to sit down. When I sat down on the wooden sofa inside Dave Arkiel's Nipa Hat, he immediately handed me a cup of water. I'm still shaking with fear. I didn't know it would happen. I wish I hadn't left Nipa Hat earlier. I hope I didn't dare to swim alone."Can I sleep here?"I dared to ask Dave Arkiel.I know we are not very close yet but I have no other choice but to spend the night here."Yeah sure. This room has two beds. You can sleep on the other one."He answered me."Thank you."I said this with a smile."Get changed.

I told Bea and Kenny that I would go straight to the library to borrow the book that I need before going to the cafeteria. They were already ahead so I told them to reserve a seat for me. When I told Ma'am Annie the book I needed, she immediately directed me where to find it. It is located on the bookshelves at the end. After I got the book and said goodbye to Ma'am Annie, I walked to the cafeteria.When I got inside the cafeteria, I immediately looked for my two friends. Since a lot of students were already there, I had a hard time finding them. After a while I heard a voice calling me. I'm sure it's Kenny's voice."Allysa, here we are."He said.

It's not like when Dave Arkiel is with me.While I was sitting and reading a book I bought at the bookstore earlier, I noticed the man Kent Liam and I bought ice cream from a while ago passed by. It stopped at the side because there was a mother and daughter who wanted to buy it, so I also approached."Manong, just one piece for the 20 pesos each ice cream in a cup, just the cheese."I said to the ice cream seller.When he handed the ice cream to me, he smiled. Then spoke. Maybe he remembers me."You were the one with Kent Liam last time, right? I'm Mang Bert.""Ah yes, it's me."I said with a smile because he seemed kind and approachable"Yes, I remember you.

I'll just get dressed for a moment."Then he quickly went to his room. He didn't even wait for me to answer if I would agree to accompany him. This man has a decision to make.He doesn’t need to come with me. I mean I can go all by myself. After a while he also came down. He’s wearing a white khaki shorts, a black shirt and white sneakers."So let's go?"He asked me.I nodded in response and we left the house together.When we got in

We'll both sleep here."He explained it to me.I faced him and spoke."What else are you talking about? FYI Mr. Enriquez, it doesn't mean that I agree to marry you, you can do what you want.

I tried many ways to prevent the engagement party from happening but in the end I still couldn't do anything. It even got to the point that I ran away from our own home so that the discussed marriage wouldn't go through, but in the end nothing happened. My Mom and Dad are right, I can't take care of myself yet. I can't do anything without them by my side.The engagement party will take place tomorrow.
