Chapter 2
Calvin Enzo POV
"YEAH? What the? You should have told me that earlier," I replied irritably to my friend on the other line.
"Hurry up, bro. You might be late. You're still a transferee," he regretfully replied.
"Alright! I'll just fix my stuff. Update me. I'll be there in a minute. I swear!" I replied.
I quickly moved to organize all my belongings. Tsk! I just got back from the beach. I really need a break but how would I? I totally forgot that today is my first day at school. I grabbed my bag and stepped outside.
"Ah!" my housekeeper suddenly shrieked.
"What the heck is wrong with you?!" I asked, scowling.
Her voice was so high-pitched. It hurt my ears.
"Are you really going to school like that? Topless?" I rolled my eyes.
"I've got my shirt in my bag. I am really in a hurry. You know what to do," I replied.
I quickly entered the elevator. I immediately grabbed my shirt and changed into it.
"s**t! Thirty minutes left," I murmured.
When I reached the parking area, I quickly got into my car. I sighed and got out again to retrieve the gifts scattered on my car's bumper. How can I live a simple life!? It's always like this. I'm not a model or an artist, but I have many fans. Or let's just say, admirers. I just sighed and set the gifts aside. Then, I started my car and headed to my new school.
"DUDE! Glad you made it," Andrez greeted me. He's my best friend.
"Yeah. Let's go," I urged.
"What are those schedules she had?" I asked Andrez.
"Woah! Chill, bro. We'll get there eventually," he reassured me.
I tapped him on the shoulder and followed him as we walked into the university. Andrez and I even bumped into each other while entering the classroom.
"Mr. Flores, you are late again. And guys, our new student transferee, Mr. Villaraza, welcome," the professor announced.
I chuckled softly and subtly waved to my new classmates.
My professor even smirked while looking at me.
"Dude! Let's transfer to another class. Prof looks like he's gonna strip us," Andy whispered to me.
I like calling him Andy.
"Really?" I smirked.
We both took seats at the back. I glanced at my schedule and smacked Andy. I wanted to divert his attention from his flirting with that girl.
"What the heck!? Dude, she's making a move," Andy joked.
"I'll take that schedule," I said quietly.
He handed me the paper and I snatched it.
"Dude! Your Ms. World just passed by," Andy called out, so I immediately looked outside.
"Moana..." I mumbled.
I stood up quickly but Andy held me back.
"Do you want a first warning, dude? Let it wait," he advised.
Reluctantly, I returned to my seat. Tss! I really wanted to see her, to hug her, to caress everything about her. Moana Gomez is my girlfriend. Wrong! She's now my ex-girlfriend. She broke up with me last week just because of some rumor that I'm having an affair with a ghost! I don't even know where that came from. But that rumor ruined my life.
"Ms. Magtalas. You're late again," the professor called out.
We all turned to the door.
"Oops! Sorry, Prof. I had an exam in the lab and as I promised, I got it perfect," she explained, showing her test paper.
She's funny. She also looked familiar to me.
"Hmp! This kid. Alright, take your seat," the professor said.
She sat in front of me.
ALL the time, I was just playing with my pencil and then looking at my wristwatch. I was excited to see her. When the bell rang, I immediately stood up and walked out of the classroom. I waited for her in the hallway, playing with my pencil again. And there she goes... I quickly blocked her path.
"Babe, let's talk," I pleaded.
"What else are we going to talk about? We're done, right? Stop stalking me," she said.
"Moana, please?" I begged.
She pulled me and led me to a secluded place. Then, she slapped me.
"We're over! Can't you understand? Stay away from me," then she walked away.
Shit! I punched the air in frustration. This is freaking bad!
"Dude!" Andy called out to me.
"Just don't talk to me right now!" I said, annoyed. I walked out.
I sat down under a tree and Andy sat beside me.
"Dude? Why do you keep chasing after Ms. World?" he asked, puzzled and concerned.
"Simple as that. I love her," I replied.
"Is it really worth it? There are plenty of girls chasing after you, but you choose to act like an i***t over Ms. World," Andy said again.
I blew out a sigh. I know I sound stupid, but as long as I love her, I won't give up.
"Andy, please? I need your help," I said seriously.
He sighed and pulled his hair.
"Come on, man! Ugh! If you weren't my friend, I'd throw away your stupidity," he said.
I punched him.
"A person wouldn't be called stupid if they didn't have a reason," I replied.
Andy stood up and started to dance and sing.
"Deep! Ay! Ay! Ay!"
I stood up in annoyance, pretending to hit him, but he dodged.
"Ow!" a girl exclaimed.
Damn! I quickly ran to Andy. That i***t kept backing up, and he accidentally bumped into the girl, messing up her hair.
"Oops! Sorry!" Andy apologized.
"You're so annoying," I said to Andy.
I bent down to help the girl pick up her books and also fixed her hair. I couldn't help but smile at her stunned reaction. She looks so stunned.
"So, it's you again," I said.
I helped her stand up.
"Um... Do we know each other?" she asked.
"Oh? You forgot. Remember at the beach where I bumped into you?" I replied.
"Oh, you... Handsome... Oops! Wrong! Uh... Yes, right! It was you. Um... Okay! I-I'll g-go first..." she stuttered and then ran off.
Andy nudged me.
"She's beautiful, dude. But a bit clumsy," he commented.
I chuckled. "It's not her fault! Come on."
I went back to the classroom to get my things. When I stepped out...
"Ouch!" she whimpered.
Luckily, I quickly caught her around the waist.
"Why so clumsy?" I said with a smile.
She pushed me slightly and picked up her scattered belongings.
"I'm really sorry!" she said.
I grabbed her hand and led her to the garden. It's nearby anyway.
"Hey! Wait! Where are you taking me?" she said.
"To the place where you and I can be alone?" I teased.
She blushed. She's so cute. I made her sit on a bench.
"Wait here. I'll get you some drinks. I'll be right back."
