“What game?” Someone said.

“Yeah, What game?” Sabi ni Trevor habang hinawakan ang kamay nito at pinisil.

“Hmmmm… What about the game… Ahh… ‘I Never’!” Brianna enthusiastically offered.

Then pumayag ang lahat and they gathered at the big living room that showcases a large cream L-shape sofa.

Then pinaikot ni Brianna ang empty beer bottle na kanyang iniinom then tumapat sa isang random guy na part din ng soccer team.

The party’s getting wild when Gabbie come out of the restroom and headed to the living room and found them playing I Never and she saw Ashley and Travis holding hands at the back of Trevor and Brianna.

Pinuntahan agad niya si Trevor at binigyan ng peck sa cheek. Lasing na lasing na siya she didn’t even know that the bottle pointed her.

“Alright Gabbie, your turn.” Brianna said.

“Ako? Hindi nga ako kasali dyan eh…” She replied.

“Don’t be such a KJ.” Trevor agreed to Brianna.

Gabbie can’t take it all so she decided to drop the big bomb that took all them by surprised. “I. Never. Had. Sex. Before.”

Nagulat si Travis sa sinabi ni Gabbie di niya alam na dito pa niya sasabihin ito. Nakita ni Travis ang reaction ni Trevor.
“What are you saying babe? Don’t be ridiculous we did it right!?” Nahihiyang pahayag ni Travor kay Gabbie. Kitang-kita ni Gabbie ang galit na mukha ni Trevor sa kanya. And she decided to do the thing she always wanted to do since she first found out the Trevor and Brianna sessions.

“You know we never did it so don’t pretend we did it and for the record I also know all the hook-up sessions between you and that BITCH!” Then she pointed at Brianna.

“What are you saying?! Gabbie! Lasing ka lang. Trevor just bring her to your room she’s getting ridiculous.”

“No! Don’t touch me! And I don’t want to go to your room because that’s where you did your sessions!-” She angrily said then Trevor slapped her then she didn’t expect what happened next… Travis punched Trevor right into his drunken face.

Dinala ni Travis si Gabbie sa kanyang red convertible. “Thanks.” Gabbie said to him.

Hindi makapaniwala si Tracy sa kanyang nasaksihan sa party ni Trevor ang hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit hindi pa hiniwalayan ni Gabbie si Trevor kung alam na pala niya na may affair ang boyfriend niya at ni Brianna. Then she quickly seeks Samuel to take her home before everything went out of control.

“Take me home.” Sabi niya dito at madaling kinuha ni Samuel ang kanyang kotse at pinagdrive niya sit racy pauwi sa kanilang bahay.

Tahimik ang biyahe sa kotse ni Travis. Wala silang imikan ni gabbie kasi alam niyang masakit pa rin ang mukha nito mula sa pagkakasampal ni Trevor bumakat nga ang malaking kamay ni Trevor sa makinis niyang pisngi.

“Why did you do that?” She asked.

“Ayoko lang sinasaktan ka.” He replied while he shifted the gear.

“You didn’t have to do that to me.” She calmly said. “You should have just left me there because you know I’m already twenty-one and practically an adult.” She added.

“He’s an a**hole, Gabbie, you should have done that a long time ago.”

“So are you aware that after you did that you can lose your best friend?”

“He’s never my best friend, because all I have he also wants.”

“What do you mean?”

“Masyado siyang nagseselos sa kin’ kaya lahat ng meron ako gusto niya meron din siya. I remember pa nga one time, when I got a soccer scholarship in Colombia College in U.S. he was so angry at me because I was the one that got chosen even if he was the captain in our high school. So he pulled some strings and the next thing I knew the scholarship went into other school.” Kwento niya kay Gabbie.

Then out of nowhere she just hugged him when they were stopped by a stoplight.

Then Samuel hugged her and kissed her passionately on her soft lips. She can’t believe it. She was ready to tell her parents about what happened and the promises of Samuel to her. Maybe she’s just lucky.

“Let’s go out and celebrate tonight.” Sabi ni Samuel na parang bang positive ang result ng test at hindi negative.

“We can’t tonight’s the soccer game right?” She replied to him. “Maybe tomorrow night.” She assured.

“Right so dadaanan kita ditto at what time?”

“5 would be great.”

“Bye! Love you!”

“Love you too.” Then they gave each other their regards then Samuel took off.

“See you at the party at my house tonight babe!” Sabi ni Trevor kay Gabbie habang naglalakad sila papunta sa main gate ng university.

“Yeah! See ya!” Then they separate ways only to Gabbie she bumped into a tall guy.

“Oh sorry I didn’t mean to- Gabbie?”

Tiningnan ni Gabbie ang lalaking nakabunggo sa kanya and she didn’t expect to see Travis.

After the footsie incident, Travis flew to Hong Kong to compete for Asia-Pacific Soccer tournament.

“Hey! I didn’t know you came back already.” She said. “You didn’t tell me.” Dagdag pa niya.

“I didn’t have time to tell you after we lost the game to Brunei.” He explained.

“So you’re here for the game right?”

“Yeah and I also heard that Trevor is hosting a party at his house tonight.”

“Yeah, he’ll just brag about their new house in Ayala Heights.”

“So I guess I’ll see you there.”

“Yay! We won against our rival school!” Masayang sabi ni Brianna sa mga schoolmate.

“See you at my house tonight!” Sabi ni Trevor sabay wink kay Brianna.

Flirting in front of me? Gabbie thought.

At Trevor’s house

After thirty minutes drive from school to Trevor’s house, the party was wild and merrier because half the student body are attending.

“Relax babe, the house is big you won’t even bump in to her.” Sabi ni Samuel kay Tracy nang magalala siya na baka awayin na naman siya ni Gabbie.

“Yeah, sure. Just be at my side no matter what will happen.”

“Of course.” He assured her.

Hinahanap ni Gabbie si Travis sa kitchen at nagulat siya sa kanyang nakita when she checked the guest room at the second floor beside the master’s bedroom.

Travis and Ashley are making out at the bed and at the brink of ripping each other’s clothes then they looked up to her.

“I didn’t mean to intrude! Sorry!” Then before she stormed out of the room Travis grabbed Gabbie’s wrist and saw a tear forming on Gabbie’s eyes.

“Let me go Travis!” She said habang pinipigilang maiyak sa kanyang nakita. She can’t believe the only boy she got attracted to be practically making out with her friend.

“Gabbie wait- It’s not what you think.”

“Why are you explaining to me? I mean, it’s none of my business and as a matter of fact I have a boyfriend downstairs hosting this wild party.”

Then Travis let go of Gabbie’s wrist. Then she stormed at the nearest bathroom and cry very hard she didn’t even know why.

Why am I even crying? It’s just embarrassing. She thought and splash cold water to her face to conceal the fact that she was crying over her boyfriend’s best friend.

Surprised to see Gabbie’s reaction when she saw them making out. Travis quickly grabbed his shirt and put on in his lean body and grabbed a beer.

“Hey Guys!” Bati niya sa mga ito then lumingon siya kay Travis and gave her most seductive smile and she was surprised to see him smile back.

“Sorry babe, di na ako nakapunta sa party ‘cause my dad took me to a dinner last night to meet with his clients.” Bulong sa kanya ni Trevor.

“I understand” Mahinang niyang sabi.

Then Trevor smiled and gave her a kiss on her lips. “Love you!” Sabi pa nito.

“Love you too.” She said back then lumingon siya sa ilalim ng table and she was surprised to see Brianna’s foot caressing Trevor’s foot. Playing Footsie Huh? Then the silly thought came rushing to her mind again. Hmmm… maybe it’s not bad to try. Napalingon siya sa direction ni Travis na sa kasalukuyang iniinom ang kanyang Iced tea.

He’s hot naman kaya maybe it won’t hurt. Game on Gabbie!

Meanwhile, Tracy is getting fries from the cafeteria when someone slides his hands on her waist.

“Hey gorgeous!” Bati sa kanya ni Samuel.

“Oh! Hey! I didn’t know your there.” Sagot niya kay Samuel.

“So, can we go out tonight?”

“Uhmm… pag-iisipan ko.” She teased.

“Ahh… You’re such a teaser!” Then he kissed her cheeks.

“Uh? May motel dun malapit sa mall, maybe you two can get a room and by the way Samuel… Tracy? Pumatol ka dyan?
Kailan pa to?” Singit ni Brianna.

“Wala ka nang pakielam dun.” Sagot sa kanya ni Samuel.

“And thanks for the advice pala sige mamaya den kukuha na kami ng motel dun sa sinabi mo- oh I didn’t know nga pala na fully booked na yon dahil pinareserve mo sa mga boy toys mo… sorry!” Sarkastikong sabi ni Tracy na ikinainis ni Brianna. Then umalis na sila Tracy at Samuel sa queue.

After 1 month…

Binaba ni Tracy ang kanyang messenger bag sa kanyang study desk at nahiga sa kanyang kama. Napaisip siya kung dinadala nga niya ang anak nila ni Samuel kaya bumili siya ng pregnancy test kit sa pharmacy.

Then kinuha niya ang kit sa kanyang bag at nagtungo sa banyo na na-adjoining sa kanyang kwarto.
Binasa niya kung paano gamitin ang test kit at sinunod ang bawat steps. Then after 10 minutes she went back to her bed and afraid to see the results.

“Sana negative, negative, negative…” She wished.

Then tumunog ang kanyang phone and she saw Samuel’s name on the screen.

“H-Hello?” She stuttered.

“Hey babe! Just checking on you. What’s up!?”

“Uhmmm… maybe you could go here I have something to tell you.”

“What’s wrong? Is this something about nung nangyari on the night of my birthday?”

“Just Go Here!” She shouted habang pinipigilang umiyak sa phone.

“Kay. Bye!”

Then narinig ni Tracy ang tunog ng kotse ni Samuel na pinarada sa harap ng kanilang bahay sa Wack Wack then she immediately go to the front door and opened it to see Samuel wearing his favourite blue shirt that she given to him as his late birthday present.

“What’s wrong?!” Bati sa kanya ni Samuel.

“Let’s just see for ourselves.” Then she led Samuel in her room.

“You know no matter what happen I still love you.” She said to him before opening the door of her room.

“Yeah, I kept my promise na kapag may dinadala ka nga pakakasalan kita and we’ll raise our child well.” He said.

“I love you.” She simply said.

“Love you too!” He replied then he gave her a sweet kiss that gives chills to Tracy’s spine.

Then Tracy opened the door and went to her bed to get the testing kit.

She was surprised to what she and Samuel saw. It only means she’s…

“Sam?! Samuel?!” Ginigising niya ang binata na mahimbing na natutulog. Then he stirred and groaned.
Then like a movie that is playing fast forward she remembers everything.

“Sabihin mo nga gumamit ka ba ng protection?” tanong ni Tracy kay Samuel habang sila ay nagaalmusal sa malawak na garden nila Samuel.

“I don’t know I can’t remember.” Matipid na sagot ni Samuel kay Tracy.

“What do you mean you can’t remember?! Pano kung mabuntis ako?!” Galit na tanong ni Tracy.

“Edi magpapakasal tayo.” Sabay inom ng kape.

“Kasal!? Yeah right. Then magdidivorce din tayo kasi we’ve never ever been in love at napilitan lang dahil nabuntis ako at ang dahilan ay irreconcilable differences.” Akmang tatayo na sana si Tracy nang pigilan siya ni Samuel sa pamamagitan ng pagyakap niya sa waist ng dalaga and he said “I’ve been in love with you since 5th grade when you and I were assigned partners for the Science fair…” They stayed like that for awhile.

Tracy was left speechless and struggling to find the right words to say. She was caught off guard of Sam’s revelation. “Then why didn’t you say earlier” Her boring answer and sat on her seat.

“I guess I chickened out and never have the courage to say to you and I guess alcohol was my best shot for you.” Paliwanag ng binata.

“So that’s your reason so you can take advantage of my innocence.” Galit na sabi ni Tracy.
“Wait. So you’re saying you’re still…”

“Duh?! Isn’t that obvious? Last night I mean. Why did you ask nga pala?”

“Wala lang I guess it’s just too good to be true.”

“Anong too good to be true dun? I mean I’m a virgin-“

“So am I!” Then he blushed.

She just laugh instead of being irritated.

“Why are you laughing? It’s not funny you know.”

“Wala lang kasi sa ginawa mo kagabi, I mean I can’t believe someone like you can do that.” Then she pulled her chair beside Samuel’s. “And about dun sa revelation mo kanina at yung mga padrama mong yakap sa waist ko, I think it’s very smart move and somehow it made my heart skip a beat and realized that I’m also madly, passionately, deeply in love with Samuel Joshua Chua.”

Then after hearing those words Samuel take the cue to kiss Tracy on her soft and inviting lips. Too good to be true indeed…

Nagising si Gabbie na confused on how she ended up in her room. Then she quickly went to bathroom to check herself then she found a note in the bedside table.

G,
After you passed out last night I
Found your phone on your purse and
Called your driver to drive you home. I
Hope you had a good time with me because
I had a good time talking to you!
T.

T? Trevor? Nope. Then it hit her. Travis. Naalala niya lahat ng mga pinagusapan nila and somehow it made her smile that she found solace and comfort in Travis presence with her or maybe it was just alcohol that inhibiting her body that time?

Then the silliest and wildest thought came to her. If Trevor can play why can’t I?

2 year earlier.

“It’s your last major initiation… ditch TRACY!” Sabi ni Brianna. Nagulat si Gabbie sa pinapagawa sa kanya ni Brianna. Hindi niya akalain na ganito pala ang kailangan para mapasama sa circle ng mga popular.
Nagaalangan siya kung bakit ba siya sumama dito at magpaalila sa mga ito at ngayon inuutusan siyang tanggalin ang koneksyon sa kanyang una at totoong kaibigan sa school. Pero naisip din niyang pagdating ng panahon kapag kasali na siya sa grupo at siguradong popular na siya maghihiganti na siya sa lahat ng umaaway sa kanya then maybe she can get together again with Tracy and everything will be normal again and happier.
“Sige, wait here.” Sabi ni Gabbie kay Brianna.

Lumapit siya kay Tracy. “Trace, pwede ba tayong mag-usap?” Sabi niya sa dalaga.
“Yeah, sure!” Then binigyan ni Tracy si Gabbie ng ngiti at pumunta sa tahimik na lugar.
“Tracy, you know I like your company right?!” Sabi ni Gabbie kay Tracy. God, this is very hard!
“I’m af-afraid we cannot see each other anymore and I don’t want to be friends with you again.” Then she left Tracy speechless and angry.

“Good Job! Neophyte or should I say, Welcome to the popular circle! Gabbie!” Bati sa kanya ni Brianna.

“Spacing out?” Sabi ng pamilyar na boses. Tumingin si Gabbie sa kaliwa at nakita ang tousled hair ni Travis in a black polo shirt that defines his lean and soccer-toned body and jeans. He’s gorgeous! She thought.
“Why? Masama? I’m just tired.” Gabbie said then gulped her dry martini on her right hand.
“Nah! Just noticed you and your lonely eyes.” Sabi ni Travis.
“Lonely?” Gabbie replied.
“Yeah, what’s the reason nga pala?”
“Why do you think I’m lonely?”
“It’s written kaya on your face, even if your poker facing.”
“No I’m not. Bakit ba mas marunong ka pa sa kin? And I’m not poker facing. What you see is what you get kaya ako…”
“Chill! Don’t try to hide it.”
“Yeah… I guess I’m tired.” Then they changed the topic at parang naenjoy ni Gabbie ang presence ni Travis sa tabi niya. Then the conversation leads them to Gabbie’s boyfriend and Travis’s bestfriend.
“Where’s Trevor pala?” Tanong ni Travis.
“You know probably having sex with Brianna- oopss! I didn’t mean to say that!” Then she hiccupped.
“WHAT? You knew?” Gulat na tanong ni Travis kay Gabbie.
“Of course I knew! I’m just trying to hide the fact that they’re hooking up behind my back because I’m such a good girlfriend!- Teka… You knew the whole time?!”
“Yeah, Trevor always tells us the sessions behind your back- Wait. If you knew then why tolerating them? You know you don’t deserve that kind of treatment.”
“You know probably because of what I did to Tracy and isa pa, okay lang sa kin at least hindi pa ako nagagalaw ni Trevor so technically I’m still pure.”
“Wait! So you mean you still have your V-card? But Trevor always brags about having your virginity.”
“Nah, that’s just bluff because I’m the only one he can never have and never will and by the way I like the term! Yes I still wear my V-card and I’m planning to surrender it to the boy that is worthy and I love the most.”
“So bakit ayaw mo siyang hawalayan?”
“Kasi if I dump him my career and social status will be eradicated from the scene and isa pa turing ko lang naman sa kanya ay friend with benefit.”

Sa close ng kanilang pag-uusap di nila namalayan ang takbo ng oras at kung ilang liquor na ang kanila nainom. Masaya sila sa company ng isa’t isa.

Then naramdaman ni Gabbie and feeling na hindi niya maramdaman kapag magkatabi sila ni Trevor. Maybe she’s attracted to Trevor’s bestfriend…

“I have to go.” Mahina sabi ni Gabbie sabay bigay ng isang quick peck kay Trevor pagkatapos ay dumiretso na sa kanyang unang klase. Agad siyang umupo sa pinakamalapit na upuan katabi ng kanyang bestfriend na si Brianna na pinakapopular sa kanilang campus dahil biniyayaan ng kagandahan at magandang buhay pero maraming ilag sa kanya dahil sa pagiging bitch at mataray.
“Hey!” Bati sa kanya nito. “Ready ka na ba sa birthday ni Samuel mamaya sa Embassy?” Tanong nito sa kanya at sabay lean sa desk ni Gabbie. Kita ni Gabbie ang lumuluwang neckline ng suot na blouse ni Brianna.
God she’s such a slut! Sabi niya sa kanyang sarili. “Of course, why’d you ask?”
“Uhmmm… There’s a family engagement kasi na unplanned so I think I’m gonna show up there late.” Mahinahong pagpapaliwanag ni Brianna kay Gabbie.
If I know you and my boyfriend will just have your usual hook-up session in his bedroom. Matagal nang alam ni Gabbie na may affair na nagaganap between her so-called slutty BFF and her sweet, horny BF. Tinatago lang niya sa sarili niya yun dahil confident siya sa sarili niya na hindi niya mahal si Trevor at kahit kalian hinding hindi niya magiging matalik na kaibigan si Brianna. She’s just using them to gain popularity and attention on the social scene.
“Okay lang I’m sure naman na mas importante ang iyong pamilya keysa sa isang birthday party. I understand.” Then binigyan niya si Brianna ng isang matamis na ngiting pinagpraktisan niya simula nang matatak ang pangalan niya sa social calendar.

Mabilis tumakbo ang oras at di inaasahan ni Gabbie na lunch na pala kaya dali-dali siyang pumunta sa kanyang locker upang ilagay ang mga libro at binder doon. Nang mai-lock na niya ang locker nagkasalubong ang mga mata niya at ni Tracy.
Si Tracy ay ang “ex-bestfriend” at unang kaibigan ni Gabbie sa campus noong nasa outsider phase palang siya ng social timeline ng campus. Madalas silang binubully ng mga bitchy na upperclassmen noong freshmen pa lang sila ng college kaya tinaga sa bato ni Gabbie na balang araw babaligtad din ang sitwasyong at siya naman ang titingalain ng mga underclassmen niya.
Mabilis na itinuon ni Gabbie ang tingin sa table ng mga popular at ng soccer team ng kolehiyo. Tumabi agad siya kay Trevor na katabi ang pinakamatalik niyang bestfriend na si Travis.
Nagkukwentuhan sila tungkol sa darating na party mamayang gabi sa Embassy. Hindi na pinagtuonan ng pansin ni Gabbie ang mga tingin na ibinabato sa kanya ng kababaihan ng campus. Itinuturing kasing isa sa campus heartthrob si Trevor sa campus. Pero sanay na siya sa mga death glare na ibinabato sa kanya dahil sa selos at panghihinayang.
“Babe… is it okay for you to go to the club tonight alone? I have some business to do first.” Bulong sa kanya ng nobyo.
“’Kay I understand.” Sabi niya. Have a happy time with Brianna. Gusto niya sanang idagdag pero pinigilan niya ang sarili niya bago pa man niya masabi.
“God I knew maiintindihan mo ko.” Then he gives her a peck on her lips.
Then she felt some kind of uncomfortable stare from Travis. He seems… jealous?

Why would he be jealous? Tumatak sa isipan ni Gabbie iyon hanggang makarating siya sa sikat na club.
“Manong, tawagan ko na lang po kayo pag tapos na po ung party ha!” Then she slammed the door’s car at nagpunta na sa loob ng club.
Kumakabog ang dibdib niya sa lakas ng sounds ng club. Then sinalubong siya ni Ashley na tinuturing niyang totoong kaibigan sa school maliban kay Tracy.
Speaking of Tracy, she was alone at the side of the bar drinking nang bigla siyang lapitan ni Samuel – Yeah, the birthday boy.
“Trace, your alone.” Nakita niyang tulala ang dalaga at sinundan niya ang tingin nito kung saan tumatama at pinagmamasdan pala niya si Gabbie habang nagsasayaw sa dance floor kasama si Ashley.
“I still can’t believe pinagpalit ka niya for popularity.” Sabi niya na dahilan ng pagtingin sa kanya ni Tracy.
“Yeah, because she’s infected by Brianna’s bitchiness.” Tracy said. “Good thing she doesn’t received yet her slutiness.” Dagdag pa niya.
Pinagmasdan ni Samuel ang mukha ni Tracy at para bang may naguudyok sa kanya na yakapin na lang siya at tanggalin ang mga sakit na nararamdaman sa loob. “You’re just upset” Comfort niya sa dalaga. Tinitigan lang ni Tracy ang binata.
Tumagal yata ang titigan ng dalawa at di nila napansin na sumipa na ang nainom nila at pinaglapit ang kanilang mukha upang sa isang halik na hindi nila malilimutan.

==================================================================

Gabbie’s life is pretty much far from perfection.

One , siya ay ang girlfriend ni Trevor na captain ng soccer team ng campus na kanila ring pagmamay-ari (well, isa sila sa may-ari) but she also knew that he is hooking up with her bitchy “BFF”, Brianna.

Two, she is one of the most popular girls in the campus, which is kabaligtaran ng kanyang status noong pumasok siya bilang freshman college.

And three she was the school’s number one FRENEMY, after what she did to her “ex-bestfriend” Tracy.

She left her true bestfriend for the popularity she always wanted. She’s tolerating her boyfriend and BFF’s infidelity to her behind her back for the title of the campus’s Goody two shoes. All she ever wanted…

============================================

This story was posted on my first story blog. If anyone of you who know my first story blog and saved this. Please let me know. Dinelete ko na kasi sa laptop ko ung file eh, good thing pinost ko siya sa isang forum and I decided to post it again here. I already finished it. I’ll be grateful if you saved it. Much appreciated! :)

P.S.   This story nga pala was written during my Taglish days. Haha :)) So don’t be surprised kung iba ung style ng pagsusulat ko dito ha! :) Thanks.

I’m a senior in high school now and I want to start anew. I studied here from kindergarten to my freshman year. I discreetly disappear to go to Sydney and study there because of bad memories I don’t want to recall anymore.

“Cam?” that low voice, a voice I don’t want to forget that belongs to a boy I am secretly in love with despite my reputation as a sl*t or wh*re, they’re just envious of my position as the daughter of one of Philippines business tycoons.

I quickly locked my locker and face him. “Gabriel” I said.

“Good you still remember me.” Gabriel casually said while opening the locker next to mine. Oh, fate.

“How can I forget?” Then the first warning bell rang.

*  *  *

I looked for a seat after the final warning bell rang.I sat at the middle row next to a guy I didn’t know and a girl that I recognize by face but not by name. She seems shy. There was an empty seat behind mine.

I am so tired that I lay my head down the table then I remembered Gabriel. He matured and his aristocratic features were emphasized. He came from an old money and prominent politician family. We started dating before the start of our sophomore year and his family love me because they knew that we will gonna end up together… they planned it and apparently they provoke Gabriel to ask me out. I was young and stupid that I believe them.

“Hey.” Someone tapped my shoulder behind me and I immediately turned around and saw a cute guy I didn’t know.

“What is it?” I asked.

“… I believe this is yours.” He raised something that is mine and I don’t want to own. Gosh! It’s so embarrassing, why did I even have a period today?

“Ugh…” I quickly reddened and grabbed it from his hand and put it in my black Channel satchel.

“I’m Nathan, by the way.” He introduced.

“… Ah, Cameron here.” and then I smiled.

*  *  *

The day flew quickly and I realized it was already dismissal. I went to my locker and on my way there I found the shy girl whose seat is beside mine earlier. She was being bullied by three girls who I believe were the biggest plastics and b*tch*s in this school.

“Stop that Linimer!” I said and then she immediately turned around facing me.

“And who might be–” She backed up after seeing me. After all I can expel them and I have my reasons.

“And you too, Abbigail and Christine.” They rolled their eyes and walked fast behind me. I approached the shy girl and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah…” She said.

“I’m Cameron, just call me Cam.” I offered my hand and smiled my thousand-watts smile. I think she’s nice, she’s just shy.

“Jen” She grabbed my hand and shook it. I helped her to stand up and told her that don’t mind those girls. Then I offered to walk her to the gate since she’s new.

“You know, you’re nice. I didn’t believe those rumors anyway.” Jen said. We instantly became close.

“What rumors?” I asked.
“Oh, you know that you’re pregnant with a teacher’s child.” She frankly said.

“Oh… yeah, don’t believe that. That’s why it’s called rumors.” I smiled and she bid goodbye because her driver is already texting her.

“Cam!” Someone called up behind me and I turned around only to see Gabriel, his back behind wall with his iPhone on his left hand.

“What do you want, Gabriel?” I asked, annoyed.

“I really liked what you did awhile ago.” He said.

“You saw it?” I replied.

“Yeah” Then we stood there quite and just staring with each other. His smoldering gaze makes me giddy.

“So uh, what do you want?” I broke the silenced.

“My mom… apparently she talked to your father and invited you to have dinner with us tonight.” He blurted.

“Ah… I can’t. I have something else to do.” I lied. I just don’t want to be alone with him after all those lies.

“Well, you can’t bail out. She told your dad and your dad said you can’t say no.”

Every guys and gals respect me because I’m the daughter of the president of the administration of the campus. I’ve been copied but never succeded and they end up making a fool out of themselves. I’ve been envied by girls and desired by boys.

I’m Cameron Anna de la Cruz-Devon and follow me as I fill the role of “It” girl in my campus…

Author’s Note:

I am writing in a bolder style. I want to get out of my box and push the envelope and not remembered as a rom-com writer. I want to write in different point of views, different styles, and different genre as possible.

My inspiration for this is Cecily von Ziegesar’s bestselling series “Gossip Girl” and “The It Girl”.

Support and wish me well!

After her college days, Jenny’s career as a supermodel in her hometown, Manila, needs to take a new route because advertisers and designers find her bland and dull. With the help of her best friend/manager, Sophia, she found a new way to spice up her boring career. Jenny was set to meet up and discuss her new career with Manila’s most sought after photographer.

Little did she know, that the only person that can revive her dying career and the person she dumped big time on her high school graduation day is the same and now the most hottest bachelor/womanizer in town…
