Gwyneth's POV
After a couple of few minutes waiting here in the queue, finally the chicken noodle soup I ordered for Zaina arrived. She complained about her having severe headache and body ache because of the party yesterday night, so I decided to buy it for her so that somehow she would feel a little better.
"Thank you." I smiled to the counter attendant.
I picked up the tray that contains the soup and carefully walk back to our table.
"Gosh! I just want to sleep and not get into the next subject." I heard Zaina muttered as she bent down and proceed to bang her head on the table for several times.
She's going crazy.
We are here in the cafeteria for an hour break. I laid the tray on the table and placed the soup in front of Zaina. "Here's your soup, 'Madame'." I said, emphasizing the word "madame".
She stopped from what she was doing and then finally got up from her seat. "What's this?"
"Soup, obviously. What else do you think it is?"
"I know! What I mean is, what is this for? Why did you buy me food? Do I look sick to you?" She asked and took the spoon.
I sat in the chair in front of her, raising my brow as a cue of complete annoyance. "Atleast somehow it will relieve your hangover. But if you don't want to eat that thing, it's fine, I'm not forcing you to." I said in an exasperated tone because she suddenly dug in without even thanking me. How nice of her. Tch.
I whipped my gaze to the entrance of the cafeteria. There I saw a familiar man who's busy wandering his eyes around for an empty table. When he caught me looking at him, he smiled and waved at me before taking strides towards our direction.
He's gonna ruin my day again, for sure.
"Hi baby." Kalex greeted me as soon as he got himself in our table and without any distance of hesitancy, he kissed me on my bloody cheek! "Soup for hangover?" He turned to face Zaina when he saw her busy devouring the soup.
My friend nodded quickly and even smiled at him. "Gwyn bought this for me."
"Where's mine?" He playfully glared at me.
"What do you mean?"
"Where's my soup? You bought soup for her, then how come you didn't even buy one for me?" he growled. Annoyance was pretty obvious when he sat down next to me.
Is he out of his dull mind? Tsk
"Who told you to drink every liquor you could take hold last night and got wasted? I didn't push you to get drunk, did I?" I raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
"I'm your boyfriend and she's just your friend. Why does it seems like you are more concerned about her than me?" He seems frustrated, pouting like a brat.
He's really gone insane. Tch.
"Fine! Since I received the payment as your contract girlfriend, what do you want to eat?" I asked him calmly and I could clearly see the rapid changes in his expression.
"I want something like—"
"Wait, do you really have a hangover?" I wondered and couldn't help but raise my left eyebrow at him.
In his current state, he doesn't look like a man having a hangover.
"Of course! I have sort of headache and I have this bad feeling that I'm gonna have fever later this day." He pretended to sound weak and even take my hand and placed it on his forehead tryna prove his lies.
"Stop playing dumb on me Kalex." I annoyingly said and pushed his forehead away.
"Don't you have any sweetness in your body? Can't you just act like my real girlfriend?" he creased his forehead.
My expression went poker-faced when I heard what he said. I don't know why, but of all my clients, he is the only one I really loathe, swear.
"What's up, guys?"
We both looked up when someone suddenly showed up and was now standing in front of us.
Zaina stopped eating for a while and greeted him happily. "Hi Denver! Thanks for last night, I really enjoyed it a lot."
"'Till next time." Denver replied and wink at my friend.
I'm a bit confused because of their gooey eyes. It seems like they're up to something. Are they pertaining to—shit!
"What?" Zaina's eyes widened as I looked at her meaningfully. "We are referring to the party last night, don't be green minded, Gwyn." she clarified things out.
I breathed a sigh of relief. I am not meddling on my friend's life, but I'm just worried about her so as much as possible, I do not want her to be deluded by the things she would regret later on.
"Have you eaten already?" Denver turned his gaze on me.
Okay, I almost forgot what we talked about last night not until now. I was a little skeptical of how he was acting towards me. I wanted to reject him so bad, but I'm afraid he might get the wrong idea and think that my standard is too high for a man. And if ever I do that, I'm probably the first woman who rejected him.
"N-Not yet." I awkwardly replied.
"Good. Let me accompany you then." He said as if everything was settled.
I guess it's not a good idea to be with him. I still feel a bit awkward and I don't want to feel this way.
"Ahem!" the person next to me cleared his throat like their's no tomorrow just to divert Denver's attention.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were there, bro." Denver uttered a quick remark.
"I'm her boyfriend dude, so she's gonna eat with me." Kalex insisted, wrapping his arms around me all of a sudden.
"I am courting Gwyneth. Incase you're not aware."
"What?" Kalex got a horrified look now. He twisted his chair and face me, frowning."Gwyn! What is this dude tryna say?"
"Huh?" I innocently mumbled.
"He's courting you. Is that true?"
I do not know what to say to him. I guess it's not a good idea to tell him what happened to us last night. Not now when he's in a verge of snapping someones neck.
"Why? What's wrong with that?" Denver groaned.
"She's my girlfriend, dude."
"She's your contract girlfriend to be exact." Denver corrected him."Besides, after a month, your contract will come to an end. What's wrong if I flirt with her now? Unless you really like Gwyneth and you don't want to end your contract with her." He smirked then meaningfully scrutinize Kalex.
I turned my gaze to Kalex and waited to hear his reply. "We are still on our contract, so f*ck off and don't flirt with my girlfriend." He stated. "Come with me and help me buy our lunch." He stood up and held my hand so I was forced to stand up and follow him.
When we were a bit far from our table, I suddenly felt him grab my waist and pulled me closer to him. "I don't want you to get too close to him while I'm not by your side. Understood?" he said in a whispered tone but I felt the seriousness in his voice.
"Wait—"
"Understood?" he repeated.
"Fine!" I just agreed even though I couldn't understand what he was acting towards me.
His fiery aura might burn me black in no time.
Is he really mad? At Denver? But they're good friends.
Gwyneth's POV"What is your plan?" Zaina asked while I am busy fixing the laces of my shoes, she's doing the same thing as me.We are here in the locker room with the rest of our classmates to change into our PE uniform, so it's not surprising that every corner of this room was corrupted by an ear piercing noise made by them."Can you tie my hair?" I pleaded Zaina as I stood up and went straight to the full-length mirror like usual locker room would have."Obviously they like you and you don't have to ask them that. It's pretty obvious you know, except for Denver who almost bragged earlier that he was flirting with you. How whipped he can get lmao." I saw her reflection from the mirror. "What can you say? " she then asks as she trod her way towards me."I honestly don't know what to say." I simply said.What should I say? They're not even my type and I was about to decline Denver's feelings towards me, I am just waitin
Gwyneth's POV"We need to talk." I stated firmly to Denver, then grab him by the arm and dragged him out of the locker room.I still manage to get out even though it's a bit crowded inside because of the scene he created in there."Hey slow down! Are you planning to trip me over?" I heard him whining but I simply ignored it and just continue to drag him with me until we finally got out of the gym.Myriads of eyes were on us as we pass by and believe me dude, some are almost popping out of it's eye sockets. Goodness gracious they're bunch of prying creatures! Can't they just mind their goddamn business? Anyways, who would not dare to look at their oozing hot Denver, especially when a woman is holding his arm?"Explain." I commanded, looking at him seriously after I let go of his arm.I brought him here in the back of the gymnasium building. I have no choice, do I? What he did earlier will probably be the talk of the town for
Gwyneth's POVMy chest is still hammering as if I ran a mile. I'm getting myself ready for my last breath as the door agonizingly open. I closed my eyes and braced my head for whatsoever that's going to come. I bite the inside of my cheeks, silently cursing for getting myself in this cubicle. Jinx is really after me today. Of all other cubicle's I could enter, why did I get myself in this one?"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdropped on your convo with someone. I-It's just so happened that I am currently changing my clothes, so I didn't get out right away when you entered. I-I promise not to tell anyone about what I've heard. I'll also do whatever you asked me to do without anything in return. Just don't hurt me please." I entreated, stumbling over my words after she successfully got the door open.I couldn't face her. I'm afraid that she'll snap my neck the moment I laid my eyes on her. I can't die yet, not now. I still have plans for eterni
Gwyneth’s POV"Did you even have a good sleep last night?" Zaina asked me as we made our way to our first subject this morning. "You look horrible! Like, look at those shocking eyebags. Girl, you look like a dehydrated larva." She pointed out as if her eyebags are not as dreadful as mine. TchThe letter I've read keeps coming back into my mind. It made me feel uneasy everytime I think about it. I can barely close my eyes for goddamn sake! No one knows what happened back in the locker room yet, neither Zaina nor my auntie. I don't want to rush things out cause in the first place, I don't even know who that woman is. I'm dying to ask Kalex if he saw a woman before he barged into the cubicle yesterday, but I am afraid he'll ignore me after yesterday's incident.“Our first period will be held in the lecture hall today. Same goes with Kalex's section. ”It made me come to a halt when Zaina mentioned Kalex's name. "Really?" I surprisingl
Gwyneth's POVI paid the lunch I get for myself and trod my way to our usual table, not taking my eyes off the man in front of the counter. I slowly place a tray of food on the table, still looking oddly at the man in line.“Girl, are you effin' serious? Oh my my my, he's a hunk!”I immediately covered Zaina's blabbering mouth with my delicate hand. He might hear us talking about him for goddamn sake!"Just this once, keep your voice down please." I desperately pleaded her in a hush, getting my hands off her mouth. "He might hear you." I added indignantly.She just shrugged her shoulder, acting like she doesn't give a fuck.“That Quir guy is helluva ravishing. I mean, look at those oozing muscles. Girl, he's fucking hot! I can't find it in me to believe that he was your childhood friend. Are you bluffing, huh? ” she whispered with thrill in her voice.I am not in a mood for a storytelling.Why woul
Gwyneth's POV“Raise your standard. You two are not a good fit."I saw how Zaina choke on what she was eating which Denver acted upon and immediately offered his water to my friend. Kalex on the other hand was utterly pissed off, this made him stop from eating and glared daggers at the smirking Quir."What the hell is your problem?" Kalex aggressively ran his hands through his hair while looking seriously at Quir. Judging by his stance and the tone of his voice, he's already exasperated.I suddenly felt anxious, not knowing what do to. I bit the inside of my cheeks, spook of what could happen next. I mean, they're furious as hell, that they could turn this cafeteria into ashes with the intensity of their stares."Hey, buddies! What's for lunch?" Suddenly someone appeared behind us causing me to whip my head back. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it's just Yuki, the one whom Zaina met earlier this day. "I went with Allaine for
Kalex's POVI passed the ball to Denver then made my way towards the closest bleacher. I grabbed my towel and started wiping the sweat off my body."Any plans for tonight?" Denver inquired, dribbling the ball as he got closer to where I am."Nothing except being stuck in my condo since mom hasn't unfreeze my cards yet." I answered, still wiping the sweat off me.Denver shot the ball in the three-points lane, and I laugh my ass off when he wasn't able to make a good shot."Here's your energy drink, masters." Yuki throw a bottle of energy drink to each one of us. I effortlessly caught it in just a hand same goes with Denver. "By the way, I come face to face with Gwyn earlier. I was about to talk to her, but it seems like she wanted to be alone. She acted strange and it seems like her mind is on another dimension. Is she doing okay?" He asks turning his gaze on me but soon diverted
Kalex’s POVI slowly opened my eyes and I was welcomed with an unfamiliar white tiled ceiling, flashing above me.Where the hell am I? What just happened?“Kalex? Thank goodness, you’re awake.” How can I not recognize that voice, it’s mom. “Call up the doctor, tell him my son is already conscious." My mom immediately ordered the men in a black suit, who quickly left the room.So I’m in an hospital? No wonder why I had this weird feeling in my stomach. While I was trying to lean my head back on the headboard, I felt something sharp poking on my veins. When I check what it is, it was some kind of needle, I perceived an IV drip needle. Oh c'mon! “Why did you passed out in front of your school gate? I was so— ”"How many times do I have to remind you how I loathe needles?" I cutted her off, removing the effin' IV attached to m
