Chereads / Avoiding the Gravity / Chapter 9 - Shield

Chapter 9 - Shield

I'm confused.

Time by time, I realized na we're too immature for this agreement. Like duh? I watched a movie "10 Things I Hate About You", the guy was forced to date a girl because of his personal needs. Someone paid him to do it.

But in the end, of course they fell for each other, even though the boy, he fell for the girl who is in the first place he dated because of a game.

Is it even possible for us? We started as a game. We're too opposite  but somehow we find each other comforting.

No no no! Damn it! What am I thinking?

I think I need the girls.

"Shit nga yun guys. Seryoso talaga napaka-arogante but at the same time ang bait bait nung lalaking isang Royal Southernian,  siya lang siguro ata yung normal kaysa sa iba. The other guys were so argh. Nakakainis! Napaka ewan! Para namang gusto namin na magpractice doon," rant ni Zelle sa mga taga South.

Renzelle has been back for almost a a week na. She's been away for two years and now she's back and ngayon she got in easily in the basketball team and she's just talking about sa practice nila for the upcoming Nutrition month.

She is known for being the Campus Princess, even though that doesn't count in the Student Council. Students calls her that because marami siyang na di-distribute sa mga achievements ng school.

Like sports. Mostly sports.

Nasa office kami ngayon and it's 4:35 in the  afternoon. 4:20 kasi dismissal time namin and I called them para talaga makikipag chika. I mean I really think that this is getting weird. I don't know why.

"Just bear with it Zelle. Di dapat tayo basta sumusugod," mahinahon na advice ni Katie.

"Yes!!! Di dapat hmp. Kahit nakakainis na sila ah, gigil nila si ako," sabi naman ni Zara.

I just close my mouth. Hindi ko alam kung ano sasabihin eh. Like hello? I have a fake boyfriend from the school we're cursing about.

"Yeah. People from South has a serious attitude problem. Hindi ko na alam guys! Ryan just went to our house the last day! And he even met dad!" I shared. I need to let out the bomb inside me.

"WHAT?!" Zara and Katie said in unison. Yes, shocking indeed. It is alsk terrifying but at the same time it is suprising because of what Ryan did to dad.

"That's normal."

Napatingin kaming lahat kay Chloe. We thought busy siya sa mga gagawin sa Nutriton Month, she's actually listening din pala.

"Why?!" The three of us said in unison.

"That's normal. You're his fake girlfriend and you're in a relationship with him because of your family and in the first place, it's about your dad to begin with. Your dad wants you to have a decent boyfriend so it's the main point. Let him get close to your dad."

Tumango sila sa sinabi ni Chloe, "Yes, Chloe's right. Yung dad mo naman talaga ang dahilan ng lahat diba? And it's working. You should be thankful to Ryan because he did his part of being your fake boyfriend," Katie said.

I sighed.

Totoo naman talaga, he did his part. I think I should repay him for that right? He's the one who said na maging pretend girlfriend and boyfriend kami. I just asked him to be my date, but he made an agreement to be in a relationship with me.

I think I should really should do something useful to this agreement.

Napatingin ako sa gate ng Royal South Academy.

It's big. Yes, but truth to be told, our school is bigger but here in South they have the higher percent of population of students.

Papasok ba ako? Eee huhu. I don't want! I'm hesitating. Lahat na ng school, wag lang sa South but here I am, standing in front of their gate.

Maraming nga students sa South na nakakita sakin and they look at me like an alien na nakapunta sa Earth.

Tusukin ko 'yang mga mata nila eh.

Hays I should really go inside. I'm his girlfriend. I should act like one. Nagtext si Pervy kanina, he just said na I'll take care pauwi.

But I decided to come here anyway. I didn't inform him though.

Pumasok na ako, nakita ako ng guard and he hesitated pero nakita niya yung emblem na nakaipit sa necktie ko.

All of us Royal students, South and North, have this Emblem, a crown and there's a name written below the crown, the students have this silver crown emblem in their necktie while us Queens and Kings have a gold emblem.

Nakita iyon ng guard kaya nag bow siya ng slight tas pinapasok ako.

When I entered the campus, I got curious.

I always wonder what the Royal South Academy looks like. Is it as bad as we think it is?

I don't think so.

Lahat ng nakikita ko dito seems fine. The students are chit chatting and parang wala silang problems sa life you know?

Ang ingay din. Every corner sa school may mga naririnig talaga akong mga sigawan. Tapos may nag-aaway pa sa corner ng garden. May nag P-PDA pa sa bench. Tapos sa narrow na daan between sa gate and isang building may gumagawa ng miracle, urgh.

This is so different from our school, very very different. Scenery like this in a school is very alien to me.

Pumasok na ako sa main building para mahanap si Ryan.

I think he's somewhere here. Maybe in the gym? I'm sure he plays sports.

Dahil sa laki ng school nila, di ko kaagad mahahanap si pervy. Like duh,  Julienne, sana ininform mo nalang iyong pervy na 'yun para di ka nagsusuffer ngayon.

And I would not dare to ask any of these students kasi tingin palang nila, alien na ako na galing sa pluto.

I looked everywhere and I didn't even look kung saan ang dinadaanan ko, so I bump my arms with someone.

Halos na-stop iyong heartbeat ko dahil sa gulat, "I'm sorry!" I said. Napaka clumsy ko talaga.

I look at the guy na nasa harapan ko, is he an outsider? Royal schools doesn't allow an outsider so maybe this is a teacher. He's not wearing a uniform kasi but he looks like he's somewhere in our age.

He smiled, wow, he's the first person na ngumiti sakin dito sa school na ito, "It's okay, so what brings you here? Friends? Boyfriend? Your emblem says it all, you're from nort," he even gave me a grin.

I gave him a small smile, "Kind of, boyfriend."

He genuinely smiled, "Wow! A Royal Queen from North has a boyfriend from here. That's great! Who is it?"

"Ryan Will Yoshihara."

Napawi ang ngiti niya, at napangiwi, "Him?! I don't think he's good for you lady. Mas gwapo pa ako doon kasi feeling gwapo iyon. Napakasarap sapakin ng dildo ang batang iyon," napahawak siya sa kanyanh sentido.

Napakagat naman ako sa aking ibabang labi, "I understand what you said po. It's nothing serious, we're nothing serious."

He nodded, "Ah by the way, I'm Ryker Yuan Scheele. I'm a professor in this campus, but you can just call me by my first name. I don't mind," and again he smiled and comb his hair.

Umiling naman ako, "Nah, I'm fine calling you Prof Ryker, since you are a professor you deserve to be called like that prof," I smile a little at him, "I'm Julienne Riley Lee po, from Royal North Academy."

"Expected from a Royal Northernian like you. Nice meeting you Ms. Julienne," he nodded, "Doon tayo sa Gym, I think nandoon iyong hinahanap mo."

Iyan din ang inaasahan ko, so he's into sports din.

___________

Nasa labas pa lang kami ng gym ay naririnig ko na ang mga sigawan. Cheers and all that stuff. Closed kasi ang gym and they also have an open field like ours.

Naka open iyong door ng gymnasium so medyo nakikita ko yung loob.

Prof Ryker went in front of me, "Here's the gym. I'm sure Ryan's here, magulo eh. For sure nandyan ang mga siraulo dito kagaya ni Ryan. I'll be heading off first, good luck Ms Julienne."

I just nodded and smiled at him before he went away. He seems busy. Buti mabait yung teacher nila dito.

Tumingin ulit ako sa loob ng gym, I was glad ng nakita ko si Zelle sa loob kasama ang team namin sa girls sa basketball, the boys are also inside, except Kevin.

I roamed my eyes around and I realized na nasa left side yung mga Northernians while the other Southernians are in the right side.

They really didn't get along well huh?

I still roam my eyes until I saw this guy, who was surrounded by girls, I think its the whole cheerleading squad, who are giggling while the guy was all sweaty wearing his jersey and holding a bottle of water while talking to three other guys.

One of the cheerleaders gave him a hand towel and rub it a little on his forehead. He smirk and wink to that specific girl and he even tap the seat beside him, signalling the girl to let the girl sit next to him.

When the girl does, she kiss the guy on his cheek while the guy put his arms around the girl.

The other cheerleaders are sitting on the seats below and above him, surrounding him.

What a jerk.

He's really a perverted casanova.

I think he's very dangerous than I thought. He's not who I expected him to be.

What do I expect from a boy in Royal South Academy right?

I need to shield myself from him.

Besides, this is only an agreement.

A game.
