Chapter 2

2248 Words
The rumors did not stop just the way it supposed to be ended. Maybe because Krishane feeding them those malicious information. Or they really like making someone's life as a topic. "I don't get you Krayol. I mean, why you were letting that b***h to act like that?" Lyra was mad again. "You should not have just walked out. You made her think that you're afraid of her." Shilin was fuming too. "Or better gave her a twin hard slap on her face!" Lyra added. "I agree with Lyra." Quinna said. "Hey, are you with us Krayol?" Lyra snapped her fingers at me. I really didn't know what happened that time. I just felt I needed to get out of that place. "W-what?" I blinked my eyes. "Gosh! You're not listening!" Lyra said exaggerratedly. "We're talking here like an ages ago? Then you are just here not paying attention?" "Sorry.. I was thinking of.." I held my forehead down my nape. "What you girls were saying?" "You should give that Krishane the hard slap of her life!" Lyra sat down near me. "Yeah. Instead of feeling depressed and wallowing self pity." "FYI, I am not depressed Quinna. And I did not react that time because I was shocked." "Then why you're here and not attended school?" Quinna glared at me. I did not really come today to avoid seeing and hearing gossips or any of my school mates that had witness everything. "Do you know that Krishane has spreaded that you're pursuing that i***t Emjei!" Lyra was fuming mad again. "Have you talked with him?" Quinna asked in exasperation. "He's on a vacation." I whispered. "What??" they asked in unison. I just learned today when I decided reading his messages. He went to my school yesterday to tell me he was going on vacation. "So you'll not attending your class until he returns?" "I'm going tomorrow." "Make sure of that. Coz if you don't, I'll drag you myself. Trust me." Lyra narrowed her eyes at me. "I will, okay?" Truly was, whatever Emjei's reason would not change my mind. For me we're over. My first two classes had ended peacefully. After lunch break, one more subject and I could go home. "Where are we after class?" Quinna asked. We took a vacant table here in the cafeteria for lunch. While sitting, Shilin ordered our food. "South." Lyra replied. "I'm out." They both gave me a 'duh' look. "You need to come with us. Or else we will not stop on bugging you." Lyra. "I'm not in the mood." I sighed. "Then don't drink." Lyra just shrugged. "You go girls. I really don't like on leaving tonight." shaking my head as a refusal. We were all under age and yet we could drink alcohol. Shilin's family owned a bar near in South and we could come there and drink even we're not yet in the legal of age. "What if your house?" Quinna suggested. "Then I'll have chance on seeing your brother Rui, there!" she screamed the last sentence. Quinna had a great crush on my brother and not being shy of showing and telling my brother about her feelings towards him. "You're just making him to dislike you." I glared her. "No, of course not! And yeah that slipped my mind, you're not allowed yet to drink." Quinna pouted. "Then let's go to the usual, end of story." I saw Shilin's waving her hand. Asking for help. I stood up my chair. "Let me." Lyra got up and went to her. It's good that our paths were no longer crushing. Not that I was afraid of her, it just that I didn't want to have fight with her over Emjei. We were heading back to our next class when I realized I left my hanky in the restroom. "I left my hanky." and suddenly stopped. "What's new?" said Quinna, rolling her eyes. "Go ahead girls." turning my back and started to walk. If I would not making this quick, I'd surely be late in my next class. There were only few people left in the hallway. Almost everyone was in their rooms now. But before I got to the restroom. I'd seen someone unexpectedly. "Still waiting for him?" I heard her irritating voice. I planned to ignore her by passing her by. But unfortunately, she really wanted to ruin my day. "He's not coming home. So don't wait for him." she suddenly blocked my way. "Get out of my way." I raised my brow at her. "Pity you. He left you homeless." she was mocking me. "Are you dumb or deaf? I said get out of my way." I said still in a calm voice. "Don't wait for him as if he's gonna back to you. You two were over, so stop-" "Desperate!" I cut her off. "W-what? What did you say?" "Desperate.. I said you're a desperate girl." I smiled at her sweetly. "Do you need dictionary to understand what desperate means?" "How dare you!" she tried to slap me but I slapped her hard in return. She was all shocked at me. I shoul've gave her that at first. But I wasn't on my right disposition that day. "If you want him for yourself. Go. The hell I care. Just do not approach me like this ever again." I told her firmly. "I do not care about any relationship you two have! So stop pestering me or you will be damned!" then I left her. She was getting on my nerve, big time! Instead of going to my next class. I decided to go home. I'd texted my friends that I wasn't feeling well. And helped me excused to my next professor. My brother Rui was not yet home when I arrived. He might be still in his class coz it's too early. I would go home soon. I think it was a good idea to go on an early vacation to my parents' house. Though we had a week before Christmas vacation. This one could not wait. "Hello Mommy!" I was happy when Mom answered my call. "..Krayol. Do you need anything, hija?.." there's a hint of resentment in her voice. "Nah, I just missed you and Daddy. How was he?" "..He'll be happy to hear from you, hija. Anyway, are you going home with your brother, Rui? Or you want our driver to pick you up?.." "Ohh! About that Mommy, I'll be home soon. I'm going home sooner and I need a driver." "..I see, hija! I'll ask our helper to clean your room right away.." then I heard Mom calling our house helpers there. "..Hello, Krayol?.." "Yes, Mommy. I'm still here." "..Can you tell me the exact date? So our driver will be able to go there in an early time.." ugh! Mommy would always be like this. "Maybe this coming weekend." "..That's great, hija!.." she sounded really happy. "..I missed you and your brother Rui so much. I want to go there but Mommy is busy. You know my work.." "I understand Mommy." I nodded even she wasn't here in front of me. "..Thanks, hija.." "I'll hang up now Mommy. I just came from school." "..Sure, hija. Take your rest.." I cut the call and lied down to my bed. My mother is a recent Mayor in our province why she's really busy and had no more time for me or to my brother. And my father, despite he did not like politics he couldn't stop Mommy to serve. And they supported each other. My Mommy as a politician and my Daddy as a business man. Inspite of our wealth, we still lived a normal life here in Manila. Still low profile, and never bragged out to anyone how loaded we are. "You called Mommy 'bout your premature vacation." Rui said one morning. I just took the seat here in the table but right now I wanted to rush back to my room. "Nanny, can you please make some pancakes?" I smiled at her. "No rice?" "Not for breakfast." I looked at Rui who was watching me intently. "It will take a few minutes." "Take your time, I'm not too hungry anyway." The helper left us two at our table to make my pancakes. "I learned that your boyfriend left the Philippines." he stopped eating. "Why you going home early in our hacienda? You two have fight?" "I'm going home because I miss our Mom and Dad." I pouted. "Drop the act. I know you, Krayol Ginger." wiping his mouth. "The last time we talked, you told me you couldn't go home this Christmas. Because Emjei's Mom inviting you to celebrate with them." "I changed my mind." I sipped on my coffee. "You two had a fight then?" "Rui, you being nosy like a girl." rolling my eyes. "Just wondering." he shrugged. "I just want to go home and I really miss our parents. That's all." "Yeah, sure." he continued eating his food. I could not tell him about my break up with Emjei. Coz he surely being like a jerk and started his preach. Like I should have focused with my studies like him, and I was too young for a serious relationship. Age was really an issue in all aspects of life. He did not approved Emjei, anyway. I woke up early this sunday. Today, was the day I would be going to hacienda. I'd be going alone and leave Rui here with our helper. Rui needed her for his whims. I stopped getting in my car when I saw this familiar car in a speed way running to my direction. When it stopped in front of our gate, three girls came out. "Krayol Ginger Villacarlos!! Where do you think you are going?" Lyra was in a hurry and the two were following her. "Early vacation." I wrestled my forehead. "What you girls doing here?" my eyes dropped in their bags. "And what are those?" I pointed at their luggage. "We're going with you for vacation." Quinna happily said. "We are also on a vacation." Lyra added. "Maybe that's a good idea, what you think?" Shilin beamed her smile. I gaped at them. "But what about your class?" I couldn't believe these three. I was taking my vacation in an early time. And I did not want them too to skip school. "We fix it first before we got here." Lyra winked. I just sighed and shook my head. I did not ask what their excuses were for this vacation. "Shotgun seat." Quinna's declared and headed to her seat. We placed their things behind the car and say goodbyes to my nanny. Five hours would be the travel time to Puli. There's still no domestic flight going there. And besides, I wanted to enjoy the sceneries in this long drive. "Girls, wake up!" still trying to wake up the two girls next to me but they were still asleep. "Are we here?" Quinna yawned. "An hour away." I answered her and tried to wake up the two. "Let's grab a snack." I eased out first, I was too starved even though I took my breakfast earlier. Coffee and cakes for our food. Now my problem was how to take them all and brought to our car. "Let me help you, Ma'am." a coffee shop crew rushed to me. "Are you sure?" he smiled and nodded. "Ohh, Okay. Thanks then." I felt a little hesitant when he picked up our ordered cakes and coffee. "No problem Ma'am. Where's your car?" "Follow me, my car is just right there." he followed me back to my friends. I saw Quinna and our driver waiting for me outside the car. "Sorry Krayol. Mom has just called." Quinna immediately approached us. "I'll take care with the box, Krayol." Fernand said, when he neared us. I told Mom not to send me a driver. Fernand was here and could drive for me as Rui could drive himself. Why he's our driver today. "I'm fine. just help the guy with the drinks." Quinna also helped me with the cakes as Fernand brought the coffee in the car. "Thank you for the help." I smiled at the crew. "No problem. I'm just doing my job." he smiled back. "Thank you, handsome." Quinna pulled off her knowing smile. "You're welcome, Ma'am. Have a safe trip!" then he left and returned inside. "Let's go Quinna." I walked back to our car. "He's so handsome." Quinna dreamily said. And when I glanced at her, she had this stupid smile on her face while her eyes still lingered on the coffee shop. "You find them all handsome, as long as the boys are tall." "Yup, but that one is really handsome." she was now day dreaming. "Stop fantazising the poor guy and drink your coffee." I reached for the coffee. "Fernand, have some coffee." and offered to him. "No thanks, hija. We'll go now so we can get to the hacienda faster." "It's alright, Fernand we still have time. Now please take this coffee first." I, again offered the hot drink. "Thank you, Krayol." "Jeez, these two were sleeping like a baby." I laughed a bit at the sight of the two while sleeping soundly. "Pour them coffee." Quinna evily suggested while taking a bite in her cake. We were filled with laughter in the car. I did not bother on waking up the two coz they looked in a deep sleep.
