All Chapters of Duology Book 1: Bad Romance: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The next morning, I woke up earlier than expected. Nalaman ko kasi na classmates ko sina Hari at Baste sa STEM, hindi ko alam na nasa STEM din sila.I knew that Hari was interested in becoming a doctor because I had learned that his parents were doctors themselves. It made sense that he would want to follow in their footsteps. But Baste’s choice was a bit of a mystery to me. I wondered why he decided to pursue a career in medicine as well.Then the thought of him in a white lab coat crossed my mind. I couldn’t help but picture how he would look, and I had to admit, he would definitely be looking so gorgeous and hot. Damn it! Why am I daydreaming about him? He already has a girlfriend! I mentally scolded myself, feeling a mix of frustration and embarrassment. Bakit ba mga ganito ang iniisip ko at pinagpapantasyahan ang lalaking iyon? I really needed to get a grip and focus on the present instead of getting lost in these unrealistic thoughts! Nakapasa ako sa exam, at highest score pa. H

“Huli!”“Hari!” Sigaw ko nang tumakbo palayo si Hari bitbit ang sketchpad ko. Nakakayamot! May mga drawing ako ng mukha ni Baste doon!Kapag nalaman iyon ni Hari, malamang ay aasarin ako no’n! At baka sabihin pa nga kay Baste!Nasa may field ako ngayon, may praktis sila Daniel kaya nandito ako, hindi nga lang para manood, kundi para mag-drawing.Pinilit kasi kai ni Daniel na manuod ng praktis nila, kahit sa praktis nalang daw. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit pinipilit ako, pero kapalit ko nalang sa kanya iyon sa pagtulong at suporta niya saakin noong nakaraang linggo sa sportsfest pageant namin.“Ano ito? Si Baste ito a?” Takang tanong ni Hari.I cursed beneath my breath. Napatayo ako kaagad para kunin ang sketchpad, pero kaagad siyang lumayo at tumatakbo patalikod.“Si Baste nga! May crush ka kay baste?” Manghang tanong ni Hari habang tumatakbo parin.“Akin na Hari!” Sigaw ko pilit siyang hinahabol. But his legs are too long for a short girl like me! Argh!Tawang-tawa naman si Hari haba

Reader discretion is advised.Daniel laughed as soon as he felt my trembling body because of what he had said. Kaagad ko siyang pinalo sa braso, pero napahiga lang siya sa kama habang tawang-tawa parin.Daniel looked at me with amusement in his eyes. “You should see your face, Haven. It’s cute,” he teased, and he burst into laughter.I glared at him and shouted at him while hitting him in the chest with my hands. “Damn you, Daniel! ”Tuwang-tuwa naman ang lalaki sa ginawa ko, habang hinuhuli ang kamay ko. I could feel the heat rising on my cheeks from his relentless teasing. It was infuriating! Daniel finally stopped laughing, wiping the tears from his eyes.“But what if? What if, Haven, I did something to you? Would you like it?”He asked, and his tone suddenly got serious.I stared at him, trying to gauge if he was joking or not. His question made my heart skip a beat. Would I like

Pag-akyat ko ay nakita ko silang nagkakagulo sa living area—the girls were playing Jenga, the boys were starting to drink outside in the bar area, and Finn and Hari were grilling some BBQ for dinner tonight. I didn't see Daniel, though. I wonder where he could be?“Haven, right? Come and join us!” Aya saakin ni Isla. I excitedly took a seat with them, even though my eyes were searching for Daniel.Naglaro kami ng jengga at ang matatalo ay pipitikin sa tenga. At ako na hindi masyado kagalingan ay laging natatalo.“Ayoko na nga!” Naiinis kong sabi. Tawang-tawa naman sila nang makitang namumula na ang tenga ko. Magkabilang tenga talaga! Nakakaasar.“I didn't know you weren't a great player, Ven,” Ana said with a chuckle.Naningkit naman ang mga mata ko sa sinabi ni Ana. At ang babae ay natawa lang. “Do I look like a player?”Tumawa naman ulit sila at pinalo pa ako ni Mila sa balikat. “Hmm, hindi naman, pero mukha lang naman.”Mas lalong naningkit ang mga mata ko sa sinabi nila. “Parang i

“Hari!” Sigaw ko kay Hari nang kinuha niya ang novel na binabasa ko.Nasa loob kami ng yate at naghahanda sila para sa paggala mamaya sa Batangas. Sumasakit kasi ang puson ko at tingin ko magkakaroon ako mamaya, kaya nagpasya akong mag-stay nalang muna.Nagpaiwan si Daniel para alagaan ako, maging si Baste ay nagpaiwan din dahil may videocall sila mamaya ni Gen na nasa Paris ngayon dahil sa fashion week.Tumakbo si Hari, kaya hinabol ko siya kaagad. Erotic novel iyon, pinabasa sa akin ni Nova para hindi daw ako maboryo sa yate. Bakit ba kasi ako nagbabasa sa labas ng yate?! Kaasar!“Akin na sabi!” Sigaw ko, at hinahabol parin siya. Nasa upper deck na kami at nagpapatintero sa lamesa.“Ano ito, Cheska?!” Sigaw ni Hari nang mabasa ang iilang linya. Nasa SPG na part na kasi ako, at inagaw pa nga ni Hari.“Dahan-dahan niyang hinahaplos ang katawan—what the heck?!” Nanlaki pa ang mga mata niya nang mabasa ang iilang linya.Babasahin niya pa sana ulit iyon nang kinuha iyon ni Baste at siya
