I pick the pillow beside me and cover my both ears so that i will not hear the ringing alarm clock beside the table. But the alarm clock is really want to irritate me and don't want to stop ringing. I hissed and sat in my bed then stop the freaking alarm clock to ring.
While sitting, I hugged the pillow because I was still very sleepy but I felt all my blood rise to my face as I remembered what happened yesterday.
I did not tell my older brother or anyone else that the man stole a kiss from me because it will definitely disappear. For them, I'm a princess so they'll do everything for me.
I got up and went straight to the bathroom so I could get up. After I took a bath I just put on a bathrobe to sit on the chair in front of the mirror where my make-up was.
Today is my first day of class in first year college, business management. I'm sure the first day of my class will be miserable again today.
I started combing my hair and blow dry it and then fitted it with a hair net. I took the loose black wig and put it on, I also put on a lot of hairclips so that I would not fall even when I walked.
I wore black contact lenses then applied a lot of freckles to my cheeks and nose.
I took the uniform and put it on. Our uniform is black and gold stripe two inches above the knee skirt but mine is up to a leg long.
White longsleeve with black and gold lace, there is also a black and gold ribbon on the couch and on the left side of the chest is MU, the symbol of our school. M is black while U is gold.
I put on my black flat shoes and looked at myself in the full length mirror. I put on the big glass without a grade and looked at myself again but I just frowned.
One word to describe? Ugly. I gasped and took my bag and exited the small condo unit where I am now.
I decided to leave Mommy's house first and stay here in the condo unit that my older brother gave me. This is what i want. A simple life.
Mom and dad and I agreed that they would allow me to separate from them but they would not give me a purse or any money, at first I was hesitant but um-yes I was too.
The older brother objected but did nothing. I took the elevator down and waited for the taxi. I just waited for a few minutes and one passed by so I stopped.
I only have fifty bucks a day because I only have five hundred bucks left since I agreed to this agreement.
I have to save and find a job so I don't run out of money. I'm still thinking about what I can eat. I don't have to cook anymore because when I come home, Mama Maria and Papa Paul will be in my condo. They are the driver and nanny with us but now, they will stand as my guardian.
Formerly beautiful and wealthy Crystalline Demonise Xai Maixity will be poor and ugly Clare Santos the daughter of couple Maria Santos and Paul Santos.
It was as if I had become someone else. The name on my birth certificate that was sent to the school was fake so I can study now.
The truth is that I have finished studying in Russia and I am ready to work but because I want to have a simple life this happened.
I parked the jeep I was riding in and handed ten pesos to the person next to me who passed it to the driver. I went downstairs and sighed again as I watched the gate of the fancy school I was going to attend.
Maixity University. Black and gold is the motif of the school and in front of you you can see the really rich because of the car outside and the sophisticated students who can be seen at the gate.
I went straight to the gate but the guard immediately stopped me and raised an eyebrow. "Mother, maybe you are lost in school? Are you really here?"
I closed my eyes to look at him. "Yes, I am a scholar here."
He nodded as if I was convinced and passed me by. I looked around the school again and I couldn't stop my lips from falling because it was so beautiful. A lot has changed, unlike when I was in gradeschool here.
As I walk into the room I feel the judgmental looks they have on me.
"Ugly!"
"Her fat! I wonder if it stinks?"
"Stupid! I just think it stinks, it still smells." "Shit, pre. Eye pain!"
"Yes. It looks like we might even be separated from that ugliness!"
My blood boiled and I seemed to want to slap but I restrained myself. This is not the right time to hit such people. Imagine who is perfect when judging. It is good to dress, it is a waste of habit.
I just shook my head and accelerated my walk. I still passed many buildings but I breathed a sigh of relief to see the building with the BA Building written on it.
I walked up the stairs and by chance my room was on the last floor which is third floor.
I searched for A-1 and I did not have a hard time because there are only three rooms on each floor and they are still large.
I took a deep breath before looking at the gold colored door of the room. An elderly woman tried to open me so I smiled but she immediately raised an eyebrow at me.
"Are you part of A-1?" He raised an eyebrow at me so I forced myself to smile and nod.
He let me in but everyone immediately fell silent when they saw me. After a while everyone laughed as if I was a funny thing. Including the professor in front of me.
"Okay class, stop laughing." The professor calms everyone who follows but you can still hear their giggles. I just bowed out of embarrassment. This just happened to me. But I still will not give up, I want to be simple. "Introduce yourself, Miss."
I nodded but still did not take my eyes off the floor. "My name is Crystalline- i mean, Clare Santos. Seventeen years old. My mother is Maria Santos who is a nanny and my father is Paul Santos who is a family driver." I want to blame myself for the mistake but I also want to applaud because somehow I managed.
"Okay take your seat. I'm prof Drea Misika, by the way"
After the professor said that, I immediately went to the back and sat down because I was sure that no one wanted to be next to me.
I was writing a lesson in my notebook but jumped out of my seat violently as the door opened along with the whispers of my classmates. I didn't even bother to look at the opening because maybe this is another nerd like me so they just whispered like that.
"Take your seat Mr.Monterial." Our professor's soft voice so I raised my gaze. I immediately sighed as we looked right when he called Mr. Monterial.
I could not help but look into his eyes. It's ocean blue eyes. It's cold. It was as if it looked bad in his eyes because of its beauty. And his emotion is cold as his eyes. Horrible but still delicious to look at.
I was touched by my forehead when I felt the crumpled paper hit there. My blockmates laughed out loud at what I heard but I was just looking at the man with blue eyes.
I did not realize that he was the one who stoned me. I only found out now because he was holding another paper that was crumpled and stoned in my direction but I quickly avoided and caught the crumpled paper.
The former admiration in my eyes was replaced by annoyance. Damn him. "Why did you stone me?" I asked annoyed and got up from my seat.
Without hesitation he shrugged. "It has happened, you can do nothing." Everyone was silent as he spoke. Me too. My hair grew on the nape of his neck because of the coldness of his voice.
I raised an eyebrow at him and because of the mixture of annoyance and tension he brought I threw on the face the crumpled paper he threw at me. I just bit my lip so hard when I touched his face. I even heard the snort of those around me but I just ignored it.
"A-ayan! It happened too, I can do nothing!" I tried to say even though I was trembling because of his cold aura.
I saw the edge of his lip rising and slowly approached me. My knees softened so I sat down again but he immediately blamed me for cornering the chair.
I was breathing fast because of his closeness to me. There was a playful smile on her lips and she came closer to me so I closed my eyes.
"He's going to attack Nerd!"
"R.I.P!"
"She's ready! Haha."
I was shocked to hear her laugh. He was a few steps away from me and laughed looking at me. "Do you want to kiss me?"
I stood up again and pointed at him. "Hey the thickness of your face! You thought who you are, you are ugly!"
He grinned and looked at me. "Oh i forgot, you're a nerd so your eyes are blurred."
This time I smiled. "My eyes are not blurred by someone like you. I just looked really smart."
When I said that, I heard the bell so I took my bag and went straight out. I hit him but I was the only one hurt because of the hardness of his arm.
~☆~
The students have been quiet for a while now and are not cheering when they enter the cafeteria.
I ignored them and went straight to the counter to look at what I was going to buy but it was frustrating to see all the goods except one hundred except for the water that was only for sale.
I only bought water because I had to save. I still have to look for a temporary job because I have nothing to spend.
Now I am still having problems with what my job will be. I can be a waiter at night or maybe a cafe lady. It is also not bad to be a student assistant.
I just went straight to the beautiful school garden and breathed a sigh of relief because not a single student was here.
Maybe everyone is in the cafeteria. The school has three cafeteria so it is unlikely that will happen. I will also rotate the whole school later so that I do not get lost in its size.
I opened the bottled water I had bought and was about to drink when I heard a woman shout. He seemed to have an enemy and because the whole garden was so quiet, his shout could be heard.
I rolled my eyes and looked for the woman who was screaming but the feathers on my arm and against my thoughts rose. Isn't that the white lady asking for help? I shook my head a few times to erase the image playing in my brain now.
I heard the screams again and stood up to look for it. Behind the big tree there were two people talking and the anger on the woman's face was obvious, she was also crying.
I immediately hid in the tree so they could not see. Yes, I'm now eavesdropping and my personality as Clare includes gossip.
I can only see the face of the beautiful woman crying and crying. The big man he was shouting was turning his back on the tree where I was hiding so I could not see his face.
"Ashton! How many times have I told you that I really want you and I don't want you to approach anyone else," the woman shouted and slapped the man's chest. "I did everything and I will do everything to make you like it, what else is missing huh ?! What else is missing ?!"
"Everything." I stiffened in my stance when I heard that cold voice. It was already playing in my mind who the man was but I just ignored it.
The woman stopped slapping the man and wiped away her tears. "Is it because I'm not a virgin? I'm willing to give myself to you so you can like it!" I was covered in my mouth when the woman started to take off her longsleeve but the man did nothing.
"Stop. I don't want you and I will never want to be with you."
The woman stopped undressing and started crying again. "Tell me, do you have a loved one?"
The man did not answer but it moved to the stand so I hid again in the big tree and covered my mouth. My chest throbbed harder because they might have seen me, the man was still scary, just a voice.
"Ahh!" I was grabbed by someone who grabbed my arm and dragged me quickly. I felt triple trembling when the man with blue eyes dragged me and introduced me to the woman who was shouting earlier.
I tried to remove his grip on my arm but I couldn't because of the nervousness and the familiar sensation.
He put his arm around me and I immediately removed him because of the electricity that flowed through me. He looked at me so my knees became softer but he quickly touched my waist.
The man with blue eyes turned to the woman and the corner of her lip rose. "You're asking if I love someone, right? She's my love. So back the fuck off." Every word he said was emphatic.
The woman turned to me and glared at me before crying running. I looked at the man who was also looking at me and pushed with all his might.
"Hey man! What did you say dear, huh? I just passed by-" I interrupted what he was going to say when he laughed. A cold laugh.
"Passed by? You've been there before so don't make me a fool."
I opened my mouth to speak but I immediately closed it without knowing what to say, he was right, I was there earlier.
He raised an eyebrow at me and stared. Is it gay? Seriously irap, I was even beaten. "First, you threw a piece of paper at me and hit me. Second, you were listening to our conversation. You got two and I will not miss it."
"And what are you going to do?"
"Be my pretend girlfriend."
"Hey what do you think of me? Dad using you? No way!"
He sighed and sighed. "I'll pay you."
I was silent at what he said. So it looks like I'm already working because of her pretending to be his girlfriend. But I look like money.
"I don't want to." I said and folded my arms.
"Fifteen thousand per day for being my pretend girlfriend."
My lips quivered. Fifteen thousand? That size. I was still hesitant if I would accept his offer. I will no longer have a hard time working if I accept.
I took a deep breath. "Okay. Deal."
The corner of his lip rose. "Pretend to be my Girlfriend for three months."
I nodded. I will also earn a lot in three months. "But no kiss, no hug and no bed thingy! And just make sure you pay me!"
He laughed. "Ofcourse I'm Ashton Bryle Cyrus Monterial, by the way. And you?"
I was stunned by what he said. "Is that all your name?" He nodded and smiled. "My name is Clare Santos."
He nodded and approached me. "Okay see you later, my dear Clare." He whispered in my ear so I could smell his fragrant breath. Lavender and roses. He turned around and was about to leave but I grabbed his arm.
"Tell me, are you the one who kissed me at the mall?"
He raised an eyebrow at me and rubbed my foot up to my head. The corner of his lip rose and later he laughed out loud. I looked at the weeds we were stepping on in embarrassment.
"I have no intention of becoming addicted and doing that. But if you want my kiss, then I'll give it to you." He was about to approach but I blocked his arms.
"I can only say, no kiss."
"Yeah i know but i want to say that i love breaking the rules."
When he said that, he quickly walked away and left me stunned and watching his back.
