The next day, the three did what they planned. Vince texted the two that they would meet first at his house and when the two arrived, they got in Vince's car and went to the place he wanted to go.
Upon arriving at that place, the two were surprised at where they were.
“Really Vince? We're really going to start here first to find the third thing you said—”
Zend didn't finish what he was going to say because Vince was already out of the car. The two came out and saw Vince walking towards a yellow tape.
“Hey wait Vince,” Zend and Clyne chased.
Vince went under the yellow tape that still surrounds the place they are going to now.
“Vince, we know you saw those three things here so why did we go here first?” Clyne asked.
“To look around,” Vince replied simply.
“Ha? Why else?” Zend's questions. “We've been around this place a few times bef
After they said their orders, Xania also turned around to give the order in the kitchen and she was about to go back again to take care of the other customer when a hand took her arm.“Wait a minute...” she reacted at the person pulling her away from the dining area and inside an area where they can talk privately.“Hey wait a minute Tsong. Where are you taking me?”Xania asked him.He also stopped when he saw that theywere the onlytwoin the room.Vince also let go of Xania's arm and faced her.“What's the matter with you Tsong—”“Look, I'll have you know that I tried to stop Zend, Clyne and Usher from coming here. I didn't even know that Toca and Xoey were also here,” Vince explained.Xania wondered.“Uhh… okay? Uhm so they're your friends?”“Well yeah,” Vince replied.“Okay,” Xani
Chapter 13Ding dong.The door bell rang again.“Coming,” Manang Gina said.“Wait aminuteManang,” Vince said as Manang Gina stopped.“Hold that thought first Usher. I'll get the door.”The two were surprised by Vince's attitude.Normally, he always let Manang Gina get the door but he was the one who really stopped her. Maybe he's waiting for something to be delivered to him... is it?When Vince arrived at the gate,“Who is that Manong?”Vince asked the guard.“Ah it’s Miss Xania sir,” the guard replied to Vince's surprise.He opened the gate door and was surprised to see her.Xania was also surprised and the two stared at each other.“Uhm uhh...”“What are you doing here?”Vince asked seriously.“Ah well—”&l
Silence passed between them.No one spoke, since Xania sat next to him.Only the sound of waves crashing on the shore can be heard.The silence between them was not awkward at first, but now that Vince could feel the presence of the person next to him and she didn't speak to even break the silence, that's when hestarted to feel the awkwardness between them.So he was the first to talk.“Cactus, do you believe in mermaids?”Vince asked suddenly breaking the silence.Xania was surprised by his question.“Mermaids? Why, you saw one? So you're waiting here?”“It’s not like that,” Vince replied.“One night I almost drowned but when I woke up, I was on the shore, lying on the sand...”Xania was surprised by what Vince said.“...can it be that when you are unconscious underwater, you will be washed outhere on the shore?”Xania didn't s
Chapter 14XANIAEarly in the morning, I am here today in front of the school entrance to wait for him.If in the past I was able to come here to wait for him because yes, I was worried about him, now, I am here because he ordered me yesterday.It's part of his dare.Oh my.I was suddenly nervous about the dare of that badboy prince.What is he planning?What kind of torture will he make me do?When I immediately found his black car entering the school gate, my chest throbbed even harder.There he is.There's the baboon!When he parked his dashing car, he immediately went out of the car carryingclotheshanging on a hanger and wrapped in plastic.Because of that, it is automatic for my body to approach him for help.When he noticed me,hesuddenlythrew the clothes at me.Good thing I caught it.“What is this?”I asked.“Clothes probably.
I first set the tray down on the table before picking it up.“What is this again?”sabay kuha.“Probably clothes. What do you think, rags?”Great. He was okay just a while back.He’s becoming a baboon again.I'm just really trying to stop myself from punching him.“That's what you'll wear next. It's a white maid uniform,” he added.“White? Why white? It's not a good color because it's easy to stain it.”“And that's the point because my next challenge to you...” he said and he suddenly smirked at me.“...you'll wear that before you eat. And at the end of our classes, I shouldn't see a single stain on that white maid uniform.”I'm surprised.“Wait, what would happen if I actually stained it?”The smirk on his baboon face grew even bigger.“My dare would extend for one day.”I was even more sur
Chapter 15The next day happened, and when Vince entered the school, honestly... he expected to see that Cactus at the door waiting for him, even though he had no orders.But the frustration on his face was obvious when she was not there.And with that, he is back to his reality that today is indeed Xania's dare that they won't talk to each other all day.As he walked down the hallway, he couldn't help but look at his side in case someone was walking with him... but no one.Why did he look at his side?Arriving in the classroom, he first stopped at the door when he saw Cactus already sitting in her chair and staring in front of her.He wished that the woman would at least glimpse at him, but she avoided him and turned her head in the other direction.Vince started to get annoyed because of that but this time... he will be the one to endure it.Endure?What are you talking about?Why would a badboy princ
Chapter 16XANIAWhen I went to school on Friday morning, I waited for the baboon at the entrance.He didn't even order it last night but because of what happened...Suddenly hejusthugged me.“Hu-Huy Tsong. What are you doing—”“God,” he interrupted.”I f*cking missed you,” he said.That surprised me so much.Annoying.I wanted to part away from that hug at those times but I don't know why we stayed like that for a few minutes. I was really shocked. Why would that monkey suddenly hug me? Are monkeys really like that?Miss me?He said he missed me? He’s just exaggerating. Sometimes, I don't really know what he’s thinking.That creature is a baboon.But if you ask me why I'm here now... nothing.No, I mean because of well... because of... because...Ah!Becau
“Before we do the draw lot, how much budget for the gift first?”the president asked.Others suggested what they want until the end, we agreed about 300 pesos.It's good it's not that expensive.“So for the draw lots, bring out a 1/8 sheet of paper and write your names,” the president ordered and that's what we did.After writing, she was carrying a container and she walked around and confronted each of us to drop our paper in it.After everyone already put in their paper, the president first shook the covered container and one by one the students went to the front.“Prince Vince Victorino,” the president called to the prince. The baboon is really special. There must be a prince to call him.He stood up and walked to the front.I thought this baboon would complain that he still had to stand up but I don't know why, it seemed like everyone suddenly became tense when he was in front.Almost
