Announcement

"Fasten your seatbelt," Rafael commanded.

Ofcourse we ate together.He was the only one talking while we're eating.It was like,he's trying to get to know me.I thougth he already knew that my behaviour is not that great?says by the filthy mouth of my wicked step mom.

I rolled my eyes and did what he said.

"I'll wear my seat belt because i want to," I said before i leaned my back on the chair and look outside the window.

Nasabi sa akin ni Rafael na nag papalipas din ng oras ang kapatid niya dito sa pinas at nananatili sya sa condo.I hope dad won't ask him to be here.I don't want another headache.This man, Rafael is enough to make my eyes roll.

Speaking of my dad, he did not call me again after the line ended yesterday.I supposed he's really doing it on purpose.Ofcourse he won't call me again because he knew we will just fight over letting Rafael stay in the mansion until they come back.

"What time is your dismissal?," Rafael asked as soon as he started to drive.Yes, we are using his fancy red car.I don't even wanna ride with him, but he won't let me go.I will be late because of this bastard if i force him to leave me, knowing he won't do it.

I did not say a word.

What?he will fetch me?no way.I'd rather walk than to ride in this car with him again.His presence is suffocating me, i don't know but there is something in him that makes me dislike him.Not just his confidence and the way he boss me around.

"Stella-"

I gave him my death glare to cut his word.

His eye brow raised.

"I'll be there at four."

"I will go home alone, i'll call Gamo-"

"Can you stop being stubborn?your dad asked me to look after you-"

"But i don't want anyone to look after me!," I yelled.

I rolled my eyes once again before i look outside the window.

"Oh?then walk, hindi kita susunduin," He said in a deep voice.

I saw in my peripheral vision how he glared at me and straightly look at the road.

"I will call Gamo to be there-"

"He's not in your house.Nasa kanila sya sa probinsya, binigyan siya ng pahinga ng Dad mo."

My eyes widened.

Oh freak!that's why i did'nt saw him earlier.Usually, when i'm awake, he will ready our car because he knew i will go to school early.

I glanced at Rafael who's seriously driving with only one hand.

I noticed how veiny his long hand is.I looked up to his face and saw his formed jaw.

"Can you stop annoying me?," I asked out of nowhere.I don't know, i am overthinking because of my hatred.

"And can you stop being a brat?," He asked too.

That's when i realized he's really just like me.As what Ava said, i've already found my match and i think Rafael is more worst than me.

I stopped talking.This conversation won't lead to anywhere good.

We remained silent until we arrived infront of the university.

I removed the seatbelt on me and open the door.

"Careful," He almost whispered while watching me get out of his car.

I thought he's pertaining to me, to take care while i'm getting out of his car, but i saw how his eyes landed on the door of his car.

"Go,i'll close it-"

Before he could finish his sentence, i quickly shut the door of his sexy car with force.

"You- Stella!"

I heard him yelled that made me grin.

Oh, now seeing him annoyed makes me happy.I'll make him regret staying with me.This asshole.

I went straight in to my room,Clara and Ava came to greet me.

"Stella totoo ba?sabi ni Ava may guwapong lalaki raw sa bahay nyo," Clara asked innocently.

My forehead creased before i rolled my eyest and sit on my assigned chair.I told them what happened and how annoyed i am to Rafael thinking they will be annoyed too.I said everything to make him look bad to them but they does'nt seem bothered.Ava's eyes are shining.

"He did'nt open the door for me earlier.He's really not good, not really like what you think."

I smirked a bit while shooking my head, releasing my disappointments.

"May kamay ka, Stella.Huwag ka masyadong masanay na lahat ng lalaki sa paligid mo ay pag sisilbihan ka," Ava said while chuckling.

I gave her my death glare.See?she won't really side me.Damn this girl.Just because he saw a handsome guy, she's now talking as if she would'nt want gentleman.

We wasted our time talking about Rafael.My mouth is already tired talking but Ava and Clara is encouraging me to continue talking about him.

Everytime i'll say something negative about him, Ava will make a reason and defend him silently.

"Stella."

Someone called my name from the outside that made the three of us stop talking.

I looked at the guy who's wearing a black jersey and inhaling deeply while looking straight to my eyes.

"Yes?," I asked.

"Hunter..,"

I heard Clara whispered out of nowhere while straightly looking at the basketball guy player.

"Ipinatatawag ka ni Ms.Tolentino sa office nya, kailangan ka daw nyang makausap, ikaw lang daw mag isa," He said.

I nodded and shrugged my shoulders.

Ms.Tolentino, one of our wicked professor.That woman always punish me through giving me a lot of home works.

The man left already but i noticed how Clara's eyes followed him.

"Step brother yun ni Clara," Ava stated that made my eyes widened.

"What the freak!?all my life you never told me you have brother?," I said.

Clara shook her head and gave Ava a death glare.

"Oops,sorry?"

Ava bit her lower lip.

Clara sighed and looked outside the room.

"Pinakasalan ni mom ang ama nya last month, hindi ako gusto ni Hunter bilang kapatid kaya sinabi nya sa'kin na huwag ko daw sasabihin kahit kanino na step brother ko sya," She said.

Clara's both eyes screams pain.She's a brave soft hearted person.I do understand that it will be hard for her to know that someone does not like her.She's such a sweet girl.

Clara is the only child of her parents,her parents separated with each other too and now, her mom is being greedy.She want Clara to be married with someone just because of the man's stability in life.

Clara could'nt do something about it, she just want to follow her mom because she thought if she do, her mom will be the happiest.She's very selfless, everyone could tell.

"But infairness, ang guwapo nya talaga," Ava said while slightly pouting.

He is, but he's not my type.

Matangkad siya at gwapo.Muka din siyang bata dahil sa kaniyang baby face.

"I know," Clara said.

"Pustahan tayo marami yang babae.Nakita ko sila kanina ni Christine sa labas ng comfort room ng mga babae e, nag halikan ba naman," Ava said as if it's nothing.

My lips parted open when i saw pain crossed Clara's eyes.

"H-He has a girlfriend..," She stuttered that made my head tilt.

She seems to be really bothered while the topic is his step brother.

"He's cheating then?," I asked.

I tried to catch her eyes but it's being untamed.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'll go first," Isaid before i stood up and let them talk to each other.

I went to Ms.Tolentino's office and she welcomed me with a hard poker face.What an atittude.

"Yes?," Iasked before i walked near her and stood up infront of her.

"Take a seat," She said in a cold voice.

I quietly sat on the chair infront of her table.

"I'm gonna sit here because i want to," Ireminded her but she just gave me a death glare.

The fuck with this woman?

She hates me a lot.As she should.

"Mayroon akong iaanunsyo sayo," She said.

"And why don't you announce it to all of your students?"

"Kapag ginawa ko iyan, masisira ang reputasyon mo, Stella."

I watched her stand up and get the white paper, full of written on it.

"Maaari kang mag fail sa first semester ngayon," She declared.

My eyes widened and my jaw almost drop.

"What?," I calmly asked, wanting her to clear what she said.

She cleared her throat and raised her eye brow to me and look at me confidently.

"You are one of those students who have high possibility to failed our first semester," She said.

The fuck?

Tumayo ako at kaagad na nangunot ang noo ko.

"Excuse me?are you manipulating my grades?," I asked straight to the point and her confidence fades away that quick.

Nangunot ang noo niya.

"A-Ano!?"

Her voice raised.

"Malamang hindi!, Kayo ng kapwa mo mga mag aaral ang gumagawa ng sarili ninyong grado at kaming mga guro lamang ang taga sulat," She answered defensively.

I can't fail this sem!

What the freak is wrong with this woman?almost all of my exams and tests passed.How come i will fail this sem?when i am not stupid and idiot.

"Your performances are not that good and the only thing that occupies your grade is some of your passed written works."

What the heck?what is she saying?i know she hates me but she can't do this to me!this evil witch.

"Are you serious?," She asked while overthinking everything.

She's definitely manipulating my cards.I am not that smart but i am also not that stupid to fail our semester.

She look at me irritated and annoyed, "Muka ba akong nag bibiro, Stella?"

I can't believe it!

I wanna curse her but i don't wanna get violations in this university.I am still taking care of my reputation and dignity.

I don't wanna be issued, i am not cheap and low class girl.

I look at the other direction to calm myself.

She remained silent until i look back at her and caught her swallowing hard while staring at me.

"Whatever," Ihissed before i turned my back on her.

Damn it.Now i need to perfect my scores in my upcoming exams or tests to atleast add a high grades and not fail this sem.

"Tinawagan ko na ang Dad mo, Stella."

I look at her agressively and gave her my deep death stare, "Witch," I murmured before i left her speechless.

That witch!she always call my dad whenever i have bad news.

And speaking of Dad, he's still not trying to call me back.I don't wanna talk to him either but i wan't him to get Rafael out of our mansion.

I swallowed and breath heavily.

This month is really giving me a headache.

I went back to our classroom and told Ava and Clara what happened.

"Sa tingin ko ayaw ka nya lang talaga ipasa, diba?," Ava commented and Clara just shrugged her shoulders.

The whole day, i did'nt went out of the room to buy in cafeteria or go somewhere.I remained irritated and ofcourse everyone will be included in my anger.

After the dismissal, Ava left already to go home while Clara left with some of our classmates to finish their groupwork.Now i am alone, walking outside the university and thinking to call taxi.

Before i could do something, Rafael's red sexy car,stopped infront of me.

He rolled down his window and look at me with a bit of annoyance.

It's already four p.m and his look when he sent me here earlier did not change.He still looks fresh and blooming.

"Get inside," He said.

My forehead creased.

I thought he won't fetch me?

"I'll call taxi," I said.

"Get in,we need to talk about something," He said seriously.

I want to ignore him and just stood with my decision to call taxi but, i haven't tried it before.I don't know how to commute and i am scared.

I stared at Rafael's eyes.

Even if i don't want to be with him, i also don't want to commute.

I rolled my eyes and open the door of the back seat.

"Maupo ka dito sa tabi ko.We need to talk."

Talk about what?

I was stunned before i silently followed what he want.

I don't know why i feel like i am trying to avoid making him angry.It feels like any time, he will lost his patience to me.
