The Blinded

"Why chase Theo when he don't see you? Even your shadow, and he don't see you as a person." 

I rolled my eyes at Bri when she said that. Is she trying to make me realise that my feelings for Theo isn't good and no worth? 

"I don't care, okay? If you don't want seeing me chase that man, then close your eyes! No one needs you here." I uttered sarcastically, she glared at me. 

"You'll waste our friendship just for that man? Why so unfair, Twinks? Don't you love me?!" She shrieked in annoyance, I pouted my lips before looking away. 

"No." Then I shook my head, I don't want our friendship to end. I love her, I treasure her the most. 

"Look, Twinks," She sighed before walking towards my seat. "I don't want to see you hurting, okay? I don't want you to waste your time for that man who doesn't mind you," she said calmly, trying to make me understand on her point.

I understand her, tho I can't stop myself! Blame my heart for liking that damn guy named Theo Augustine Marquez. Why he can't appreciate me? I'm the dean's granddaughter! Psh. He's kinda feeling, Imagining that he's handsome! 

But really, he has good looking and a perfect body. Many girls like that man, while him? He's not minding his fangirls! Psh. Let's see, Theo Augustine, let's just watch what will happen if I seduce you. 

What? Seduce him? Oh, you're crazy, Twinkle. Maybe you'll just make idiot things in front of him, heck! Don't do seducing, you'll go straight on hell. 

"I'll try my best to not hurt, just don't stop me, okay? This is my life, and you already had your man, can't you support me look for mine too?" I showed her my puppy eyes, might she grant. 

She let out a hopeless sigh,"Okay, okay, that's your life. And don't run after me when he reject you."  

I pouted more,"You're fake friend." 

She laughed at me. After our short talk, we go to the campus cafeteria to have our lunch. We're quite late because of her, rebuking me for chasing and liking Theo my love. 

"Excuse me," I immediately moved aside when I heard Theo's voice from our behind. My cheeks blushed before looking at Bri, she's just creasing her brows while looking at two trays of food. She looked at me before handing me the one. 

"What's with you?" She raised a brow when she saw my face, I shook my head before gasping. I can feel Theo's body beside me! It's kinda hot here! 

"L-let's go." I grabbed her arms before dragging her to our table. We sat there, she looked at me with confusion on her face before looking back at the counter where Theo's ordering his food. 

"Ah.." she nodded her head multiple times, now understand why I am blushing. She narrowed her eyes on be before teasingly laughed,"Greet him." And now she's the one motivating me? 

"It's embarassing," 

"Why embarassed now? While earlier, you're being brave, you're funny, Twinks." She laughed again, I bit my lower before slightly rolling an eyes. I took a glance at Theo's area before shaking my head again. 

"Don't tease me, you idiot." I just took my spork and started eating my lunch, she did the same but still looking at me teasingly, a smirk planted on her lips before clearing her throat. She drunk the water beside and leaned on her chair. Will she not consume what she eats?  

"I dare you to stood from that chair and block him," I chewed my food carefully, listening at her. "Then greet him energetically," 

"What?" I asked in a low manner, I looked at her out before glaring. She laughed and gestured me Theo who's now walking on the spotlight and towards his table, some of his friends were waiting for him to go near. 

"Go on, or I'll tell to your parents the nonsense things you're doing here on school? Like, Tita, Tito, your great daughter just kissed someone yeste-" 

"Shut up, Bri." I muttered in annoyance before sighing and stood up, I blocked Theo. I stood confidently in front of him, I smiled widely before stretching my arms for a formal introduction. 

"Excuse me?" His brows furrowed while looking at me with cunfusion, I sighed again. Okay, he don't want me here, but this is my opportunity to talk to him. 

"Twinkle Jade Xanders," I introduced myself, some were looking at us, and I don't have the plan to pay my attention to them, or even look back. 

"No one's asking, Miss." My lips pursed when he said that, I closed my eyes tightly when he passed through me. Does he really don't care? Heck! I'm too beautiful to be ignored! 

Feeling annoyed, I faced Bri. "Okay now?" None in itself, I asked her. I went back to my chair and pushed a sit. 

"Your expression were epic, Twinks." She then bursted into laughter, now I just noticed that she's still teasing me after what happened. It was shameless! She should have mercy on me! It's annoying! Psh! 

"Am I really your friend?" 

"Oh, of course! You can beat the horse if you sulk! Fast as the runner, and the turtle will leave." 

My brows creased."What?" 

"Nothing, let's continue eating, the lunch time's near to end." 

We persited on eating our lunch. And went back to the classroom after. The class were okay, it went smoothly. When it's already time to go home, Bri and I gone to parking lot together. 

"I'll go ahead, Twiks! I have a diarrhea!" Bri waved her hand at me, I laughed at her before waving back. 

"That's already your karma." I teased, she rolled her eyes on me while holding her stomach. She hopped on his car before turning on the engine, she opened her sliding window first and waved at me again before droving out. 

I heaved a sigh before looking down, I kicked the quite big stone that was blocking my way, and was about to walk and head to my car when I heard someone just groaned and cussed in pain. 

"F*ck!" When I looked up, my jaw almost dropped when I saw the man who's making my heart beats fast. He was touching and massaging his left foot and twisting the pain. 

I gulped many times. I just hit him! 

"I.. I'm s-sorry, s-sorry! I.. I didn't mean to hit you!" I almost cry! He looked at me, and I can't stop myself from staring at his face. He has his thick eyebrows and eyelashes, pointed and cute nose, and of course, heart-shaped, thin and reddish lips. 

He walked towards me and all I can do is to just swallow hard because there's a lump that was blocking on my throat. 

"Are you blind, Miss?" He wrinkled his brows while asking that, I gulped again before looking away and just stared at my car that was parking beside. 

"I.. I already said sorry, Mister Theo Lhix Marquez. I didn't mean that, and.. I didn't saw you.." I didn't really knew that he was around! 

"You're blind, you have your eye-" 

"I know, I know I have.." I cut him off. He was the one who's blind! Imagine, he don't see me as a person. And don't see my worth as one of his fangirl! Really? I'm his fangirl? The granddaughter of the dean is a fangirl now? 

"You hit me hard, Miss." I gulped again, he said that calmly but I think he was annoyed at me. 

I get all the courage to looked at him again, directly on eyes."Uh.. I'll go a-ahead." I gestured my car at him and was about to walk towards it when he asked all of a sudden. 

"Are you a Xander's?" It took me seconds before I was able to nod my head slighty. He stared at me, making my heart beats fast again. I just did the same because I loved the view. His eyes were beautiful, so as mine. 

"Y-yes.." None in itself, I responded. I didn't know that I'm already grinning at him. Like, duh? He already recognizes me, and I want to have a fiesta right now and celebrate.

"So.. you're a part of the family I hated the most, huh?" I was stunned at his remarks, what? He hated the Xander's? 

"And why is that?" I can't stop myself from raising him a brow, that was an insult to me.

"I just loathe the Xander's," 

"Then why did you chose to enter our university? Just so you know, we have a big shares there. And I'm the dean's granddaughter. Are you a spy?" I uttered, pointing out the campus. 

"I'm not a spy or something." He said sarcastically, I rolled my eyes. 

"I'm asking why you hates us." I can't really grasp about what he just said earlier. 

"It's none of your business, Miss Xander. And why do you care?" Wow! Just wow! None of my business? Then it's better to not tell me that he hates the Xander's! 

"And why do you care if I care?" I really care about of what he said. I'm one of the Xander's, and I care for my family. 

I can feel many stares around, who wouldn't, right? Heck! This is just me and the hot transferee guy arguing at the parking lot! 

"You're like your mother, the attitude." 

"And how did you knew my mother? Are you a stalker too?" I narrowed him my eyes.

He chuckled sarcastically,"Why would I be stalker?" I love seeing him smiling and laughing, but not this way that he's being sarcastic! 

"Who knows?" I shrugged my shoulders. I'm asking myself why I'm still standing here in front of him(?) I want to walkout but I just can't. I don't know. 

I'm starting to hate him too, but I know to myself that I still have feelings for him. That I still like him. I can feel the butterflies inside my stomach at they were tickling me. 

"Hey, bro Theo!" I didn't looked at the guy who just came. Probably, Theo's friend. I hissed before shaking a head, I took a glance at Theo first who's now looking at me intently, I then rolled my eyes and without saying anything, I turned my back against them and headed to my car. "Hey, Twinks!" I didn't looked back at the guy who greeted me. "I'm Patrick, in case you'll ask!" 

Heck! I will not ask, Mister. I'm not interested on you, the man I like was your friend named Theo Lhix Marquez. 

I shook my head again before opening the door of the driver's seat and slammed on the sit. I heaved a sigh before turning on the engine, I then drove off the place without looking at Theo again. 

Psh.

If he hates my family and me, then I hate him too! Easy as that, I won't be unfair. 

I pouted when I realized that I still like that man. I still have feelings on him, and I know to myself that I will chase him no matter what happens. 

And I know to myself that my annoyance on him will just fade later, and I'll be happy again if I'll be going to see him tomorrow or the next day. 

I still remember how soft his lips were, and yeah, Bri was referring me lately, kissing Theo secretly. I don't have a plan to tell anyone about of what happened, Bri and I just knew it. 

And no one sees us anyway, Theo was on the library when we entered the room. We saw him sleeping on the table so I stole him a kiss. And Bri can't believe of what I did. She rebuked me, saying that some might saw what I just did.

In midst of driving, I am thinking of why he loathes the Xander's. I'm annoyed, but I still like the man. 

Why so fragile, Twinkle Jade?
