[b]002 [/b] I gulped the air, making my Adam’s apple look bigger. I felt a slight chill on my bone as I turned my back and saw a creepy girl wearing glasses. She looks slightly familiar, I think I’ve seen her, I just can’t remember where. I jumped away from her, “what the heck? Y-You…?” I paused for a moment and started laughing. Arrogantly, I asked, “your name is Lux, right?” Her eyebrows were now symmetrically straight and her mouth formed a thick horizontal line. She placed her arms down, “Uh… Well… Yes…A-Ano number mo?” “Why would I give it to you?” I mean, hello hindi naman sa nagyayabang, pero why would anyone give a person’s information to a freak? “I just...” her eyebrows furrowed. “What?” Bowing her head with no hesitation, she finally said, “P-PLEASE LET ME BE YOUR G-G-G-GIRLFRIEND...” I was about to laugh tauntingly when suddenly she spoke, “Please. Even for a short period of time. I’ll give anything anything. Anything, so—“ I raised my hand, as if it were a signal of acceptance, “Okay. I’m in.” Her voice cracked, and a very dishonest smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. “Nothing serious, right?” I smirked and she nodded, “I want the modern-day gadgets, if you don’t mind.” “I really don’t,” she quickly answered. Which really made me think, is she serious about this? I mean, I’m already taking advantage of the materials that she has. But anyway, looks to me that she really is determined to do this. Besides, it would not take that long anyway, and then I’ll be able to get everything that I want. No one will know that I made a deal with this freak. Come on, she’s willing to give anything. “Deal. I’m on it.” “Thanks.” She answered while fixing her nerd glasses. I walked away. But I stopped, knowing that I’m already ‘in a relationship’ with this freak. I can’t just leave her here, can I? And crap, I don’t even know where she lives. I looked around and she did nothing but stare at me. “Hoy, hindi ka ba uuwi?” She wasn’t listening, so I went closer and raised my voice. “Hindi ka pa ba uuwi?!” I asked again, but this time she turned around. She was wearing an earphone, and I just realized that she was talking to somebody over the phone. “[i]Yes, I’m here. Black gate. Second street from the main gate. Okay. Now. Bye.[/i]” Ano to? May driver siya? I know she’s intelligent and stuff, but I don’t think it’s right to brag about how rich she is in the middle of the street. “I’m sorry. What were you saying?” “Nothing,” I scratched my head, “Uuwi na ko.” I said, shocking my head wearily. “’Kay bye,” she waved her hand stiffly. I should’ve just ignored her. Hindi lang ako napahiya, na-ignore pa ang act of generosity ko. And so I left her. But not totally left, I was curious because she was just there…waiting? So I hid myself behind the nearby bushes. I was slightly spying her, thinking that what if this is part of her stupendous-yet-silly plan. 5 minutes... [i]Hmm…[/i] 10 minutes... [i]What is she doing? [/i] 15 minutes... [i]Tatambay ba talaga to.[/i] 20 minutes... [i]Seriously? [/i] 25 minutes of waiting when finally, a black Mercedes passed by and the men, or should I say HER guards, quickly let her inside. It was as if the car ate her whole being inside in just a split second. [hr] While walking my way to our house, I tried dialling Hazel’s number, but I always end up doing nothing. I went to the sidewalk, gathering all the courage to call her; I dialled it for the nth time and pressed the green thing although I was really hesitating at first. “Please…” I muttered under my breath, “Just answer it.” “…Voice Mail. Please leave your message after the beep.” I was thinking, maybe it would be fine if I would just simply leave a little ‘thing’ for her. Besides, I haven’t talked to her since that day we broke up. “If you’re free, please…call me.” Nothing happened, and it’s a shame that half of my brain desperately wanted to hear her voice. I entered the house, and as usual, nag-aaway na naman sila. I ignored them and went straight ahead to my room. Unfortunately, my drunken Dad caught me. He threw me a cork, “Pambihira kang bata ka…” Tinuro pa niya sakin yung bote niyang alak, “Wala ka nang ginawa. Kita mo nang ganito sitwasyon natin tapos ayaw mo pang umalis sa punyetang school na yon?” “Bakit kaya hindi nalang ikaw lumayas sa lugar na ‘to? You piece of crap. Wala na ngang silbi, manggugulo pa ng buhay.” And before he threw the glassed bottle at me, nakapasok na ako sa kwarto ko. I will never be anything like my father. I have my goals, and I will definitely do everything just to fulfil them. I felt my phone vibrating inside my pocket. And to my extreme excitement, I answered it without looking at the Caller ID. “Hello, Hazel?.” “Hazel? This is Lux. Remember?” “How the heck did you get my number?” “I have the right to know, don’t I?” I dropped my head in disappointment and tried to change the topic, “So, What now?” “Nothing, just want to get in touch with you.” “Well, now isn’t the right time.” “Wait,” she paused, “Just testing if I’ll fall in love.” “What?” I laughed, “That’s stupid. Parang kanina lang e.” I’ll never fall in love with someone like her. Is she kidding me? I mean, come on. I’ll never fall in love with someone like her. I just said that twice, but that's the truth. And she’s making an attempt to go beyond our conditions. “Really? Kapal naman ng muka mo.”

I'd like to think that Hazel and Lux are connected. Both rich right? maybe from the same family? or business rivals perhaps? Hahaha anu ba tong naiisip ko. Anyway, I'm starting to like the story because of Chaw. Si Paw kase namilit lang. hahahaha peace

Im going to support this. Omg, lux suddenly asked Ethan to be his boyfriend? Hmm. something's fishy. ) I wonder why She asked him? Please pm me when the next chapter is out. Write soooon!`

Hahaha.[/spoiler] [hr] [b]003[/b] I ended the phone call with no hesitations. Suddenly trying to act like my real girlfriend, who does she think she is? O nagpapakatanga lang talaga siya? I looked at my call history. ‘Hazel, Hazel, Hazel, Hazel, Hazel, Hazel, Hazel, Lux.’ I just ignored it, and waited for Hazel’s call. [i]But in the end, she didn’t.[/i] [hr] I scratched my head, feeling so frustrated. “Pogi, scan mo ID mo, dami pang nakapila o. Male-late kayo nyan.” I did what he said. Closed-eyes; half-asleep. I walked across the hallway when I suddenly noticed a girl staring at me. I raised my eyebrow and tried to focus on her. What’s her name again? Lose? Luss? Lass? Tsh. I don’t know. I walked pass her, basically ignoring her. I looked her in the corner of my eye and she was still staring at me. I looked around; making sure that no one will make a fuss if they saw us together. I signalled her to follow me by ‘waving’ my index finger at her. I stopped in front of the two rest rooms in C hall. And as expected, she was right behind me. “Hey, why were you staring at me awhile ago?” Her lips curved for a bit, “Am I not supposed to do that?” I shook my head. Sarcastically, I said, “Heck NO? I don’t even like it when we’re acting like we know each other.” “B-But you told me…” “Told you what?” Is it about the deal thing? You’ve got to be kidding me. I was just playing along with her; although it would be really cool if it were true. “Lass, you know–” “–my name isn’t Lass. It’s Lux,” she frowned. I rolled my eyes, “Well, LUX, you know I was just kidding, right? And weren’t you doing the same thing? And your mere presence is freaking me out!” “How? I didn’t even do anything. I was just…staring at you.” “That’s what I was trying to point out. If rumours spread that you were fantasized by me, I would feel degraded and girls won’t think about me anymore–knowing that the weirdest girl likes me.” “But you made a deal with me,” she shook her head, “I can’t force you if you don’t want to.” She suddenly waved her hand. I looked around and it was some dude that I do not know. “You, come here!” “Wait, what?” I bit my lip and hid my face from the dude, “What if he finds out that–” “–what do you wish for?” The guy was dumbfounded, “Huh?” Then he clapped and started wiggling his belly, “I want to be kissed by a guy! Heehee.” I looked at her reaction, she just pouted. “Oh okay. Anything else?” The dude. No, the GAY grinned and clapped again, “I want an iPad and an iPhone.” Wait a second. Am I seeing things clearly? Is she trying to do the same thing she did to me? “Absolutely, would you like to–?” “–Ah. AHHH. I accept defeat,” I laughed sarcastically and rolled my eyes. I glared at the gay, knowing that I can’t stand gays even if they’re already seven feet away from me, “And you? Leave.” He gave me a flying kiss–which really made me shiver to death–and twirled around, “Yes, cutie.” When he left, I turned to Lux. I scratched my head, “Damn it. I guess you’re truly serious. No doubts this time.” “That’s a relief,” she smiled and pulled out a packet. “If you have no doubts, then please do sign this.” Tumaas na naman yung dulo ng bibig ko, “Ano na naman yan?” “Kasi, I only have the temporary contract. I printed another one, para this time you’ll sign it with your own hand.” I grabbed the paper and saw my signature on the very bottom, “Why is my–” “–We only have ten minutes of free time. If you still insist,” she held the paper in a position where she’s about to tear it, “I keep my words.” “AHHH,” I laughed and threw her my hand, “I was just kidding. Alam mo naman ako. Hahahaha.” She started laughing as soon as I received the pen she gave, “Now you’re scared.” “Now you’re scared my ass,” I muttered under my breath. I grabbed the paper she was holding and eventually signed it. “Now you’re done, please, hand it over to me.” I looked at it and was quite curious. Every box placed here was already checked. “Can I read what’s written here?” She smiled wickedly, “Read it with great pleasure.” Then she left me to go to her first class. [i]Seven deadly rules[/i]. Iniba lang yung last word eh. Akala mo naman banal tong contract na to. [i]I will be an understanding and good boyfriend to Miss Contiello. [/i] Pfft. Only if she’s good. [i]I will not have any serious commitment to Miss Contiello. [/i] Of course I won’t, stupid. [i]I will take hold of the responsibility of being her pseudo boyfriend.[/i] I don’t think she’s the troublesome type, so I guess it’s fine. [i]I will not force her, but rather teach her, with great passion, to fall in love. [/i] Teach with great passion? I don’t even want to take BS Ed when I get to college. [i]I will not decline to any Miss Contiello’s requests regarding romance and hatred.[/i] Her requests so far aren’t that bad. [i]I will have Miss Contiello in debt if she didn’t appear to give everything that I wished for.[/i] Certainly. That’s what I’m aiming for. [i]I will engage in physical contact, only if necessary. [/i] Physical Contact… …WTF? Lass, you're dead meat.

Ang yaman nman ni Lux. Ang talino dn masyado. Haha. Next

Tae. Tagal ko nang nabasa tong update na to pero di pa nag-a-update si Paw kaya baka pag nag-comment ako e mag-update na siya. XD

As/N: Thank You for Reading and Waiting. Sorry sa late update, me and chaw were both busy these past few days due to school matters. (: [hr][hr] [b]004[/b] I was walking down the hallway when suddenly a guy pushed me with his skateboard. “The heck is wrong with you, man?” Annoyed, I stood up and fixed myself. There was a group of girls near me. There eyes were on me, and they were laughing. I just glared at them and walked pass the C-Hall. I was already expecting that Joe, Sam and Kelly would be there, chilling out. Kelly raised her eyebrow and walked up to ask me something, "Dude, I haven't seen you for a while now.” She gave me a friendly hug, “Correct me if I am wrong. You broke up with Hazel?” The next thing I knew, I was already tongue-tied. Good thing Joe spoke up, "Don't be harsh there, Kelly. You know way better than that." I wasn’t the one who broke up with her. SHE did. But thank God the topic was changed. Whenever I hear these kinds of conversation, it always brings me pain. Although the truth that I still want to be with her is still there. “But he still…Hazel…broke up…with her…the reason…of not…” I was trying to keep my temper down. If I were to get upset, I’ll feel guilty. But the thing is, she won’t stop mentioning Hazel’s name and mine. The only flaw that Kelly has is this. She can’t leave the personal lives of her friends alone. She’s a nuisance, but you can rely on her if you have girl problems. My two-hour class has been really horrible. I have been brainwashed. I was reminiscing the past with myself. And this is the reason why I got a zero in our pop quiz for Calculus. “Ma’am P isn’t here. But she did leave work pages for us to do. Chapter 9 of the workbook.” I wasn’t in the mood of doing this activity, so I just went out to check out some interesting stuff–girls. Lass’ class–holy crap it rhymes–is out to check some books in the library. I was aware that some point, if we had an eye contact, she’ll come to me and say something. I might do the same. No, I might abuse her to death for writing that last rule. But since I’m the stereotypical hot-and-gentle man of the school, I try not to do that and just ignore her. I looked around, assuring that she isn’t around. “O, tignan mo to. Didn’t you just break up with my best friend?” I looked behind me. Sam. “Who are you looking at? That girl?” He laughed, “You left her for that girl?” I knew she was pointing at Lux. Anger flared me, not because for Lux, but because of what Sam told me. I won’t replace Hazel to that nerd. “Seriously?” I laughed with him although his insults stroke dead straight to my heart. Why won’t everyone shut up and not make a fuss about her? I admit I’m starting to get tired of hearing her name, but it’s not something that the world should brag about as if it’s also their problem. We went to the cafeteria, although we knew that our lunch was long over. I looked back and saw Joe pushing somebody. Then I heard Kelly, “Should we do it? Should we? Should we?” Sam laughed and turned to the girl, “Who are you to follow us around like a complete stalker?” “I.. I.. I wasn't. I was just about–” “So, what now? Are you messing with us?” The girl looked up, and I realized it was her. Her hair is all puffed out as if she was the only survivor when the Americans tested the nuclear bomb they made. “Oh crap.” Sam glanced at me, then her, and back at me. He walked to me and whispered, “Isn’t she the smart girl? You know her?!” “Well…” I don’t know if I can really tell them that she’s my new past time. They knew that never have I accepted someone like her in my life. “Yeah she is…But then–” “All students, get inside to your respective classes.” And the bell rang. Thank God for making the bell ring in such a critical moment. “Well I’m going,” I said and widened my eyes. [hr] I was awakened when a girl started blurting out, “PROJECT? PROJECT? It’s only the start of midterms, why so sudden?” “Girl, don’t freak out,” Vice said sarcastically while twirling her hair in amusement. “We’re quite in a rush, so we’ll have to spend all the time we have tomorrow.” The shy president walked up front, “A documentary for Philippines’ historical sites. Aiza will bring the camera. Laine and Will for the video cam. Pauline for…” She mentioned a lot of names, but I was certain that she didn’t call mine. I wouldn’t go, I wouldn’t be stuck inside the house all day long tomorrow either. The class was dismissed without the reckless teacher. I knew someone was following me. To make sure no one sees us, I went to the very corner of the locker room. The picture of me making physical contact with her makes me shiver to death. She’s a girl, really? Am I destined to rape her if she wishes to? Agitated, I turned my back and forced a smile, “Lux, you’re busted so come out.” I saw her, wiping the eyeliner off of her face. I held her arm, “What’s wrong with you? I told you not to follow me.” She threw my hand in the air and put on her glasses, “I thought the deal was clear?” I scratched my head, finding the right words to say, “I know…But still–” “You failed me, although I do have high expectations of you.” Her eyes were just on me, making me feel like I was being manipulated by her words. “Do you remember what you signed just a week ago? Do you really want me to recite every rule written in the contract? I will be an understanding and good–” “I know! Dang. Just shut up and let me do what I can. I can’t believe you memorized all of it.” “I was the one who made it,” she paused and looked away, “jerk.” “I don’t care how many words are there for you to make me a nickname. Just don’t follow me and leave me alone whenever we have classes.” “I don’t. Just between 9:00 am to 10:00 am. Add 1:00 pm until–” “Shut up. Please.” I left her and walked swiftly, but then she was still following me. I know she will. But for goodness sake, she’s so aggressive and full of determination. When she finally caught up with me, she immediately slipped her fingers and twined it with mine. I was startled, but my mind said I have to do this. I looked down to our hands, and felt a little awkward. She probably felt how uncomfortable I was. She entwined it and looked straight. “Sorry,” was the only word I could say. “I know,” she muttered quietly and walked passed me. I felt like I owe her everything. I felt the urge of grabbing her hand. The words came out as if it was a response to what she did. “Tonight at 8, get dressed up and we’re having a date.” I put my fist on my forehead and yelled, [i]HOLY CRAP, what did I just do?[/i] in my head. I can’t believe I said that.Man! I can't believe I said that, I can't even say that to Hazel. “Let’s call this a peace offering. A fair play,” she smiled as if she knows what I was feeling inside. I went home and headed straight to my room. Hopeless, I drew out my phone. I can’t believe I’m still expecting a single text message from her. Ganun na lang ba talaga? After-life ng break up, no communication na? I know it’s not possible for us to make up, but still. I want to be friends with her. But if she’s fine with it, then fine. What can I do anyway? After long hours of making an attempt to send a voice mail, I came to the realization that it was already quarter to 8. Which reminds me…Lux and I–not WE–have a date. It’s not necessarily a date, but like ‘going out’. But we’re not serious so get the crap off. Wait, she might think that it’s really going to be a date. But, she’s narrow-minded despite of her excellent intelligence. I imposed on her to just chill out, but she probably took it seriously. Crap. I feel sorry for her. I took my phone and sent her a text message that I’ll wait for her here. I don’t need to pick her up. She got these bodyguards and her own Mercedes already. My phone rang, expecting that it was her. But I got the wrong caller. “Kelly?” “Kanina pa kaya kami naghihintay!” “What do you mean?” “Didn’t I announce to the class that we’ll have a meeting for the project today?” “What? I can’t go.” I keep my words, knowing that Lux is a very ‘strange’ girl. “Please, All of us have to be in this meeting,” she paused, “Oh here she is. Sam brought Hazel, too! She’s a big help.” The corners of my lips rose on their own. Without hesitation, I finally answered, “Sure. Wait for me.”
