Reason 4: She Is So Not Good In Handling Money (2)

After the argument on the way to the Western Terminal, we went home.

The next day…

"Huhuhu, Ana, I don't have any money left! I was defeated while playing tong it's! I don't have any money to pay for a tricycle fare!" Blessie cried to Ana.

My ears perked as I eavesdropped on their conversation.

Blessie became a crying mess.

Ana was shocked by the former's confession.

It's obvious that the ice queen who has deep dimples is always gambling with her group on the corner of the room, so it's not news when she lost and gambled away all her money.

Gamblers.

Even our beloved school was not spared by their claws.

"You should learn from Rae and be a kuripot, Blessie. Take a look at her, never having to worry about money when emergencies arise," Ana said in a matter of fact tone.

I instantly shivered as I heard what she said.

Wow.

It looks like I have a lot of money. Since when? Why don't I know about this?

And it's not my fault that you lost in your gambling sessions.

I almost got scared out of my wits when the ice queen who has deep dimples suddenly cling unto my legs.

My bare legs! My gosh!

The school uniform is comprised of three parts: the skirt, blouse and vest. We would only need to wear the best during programs and ceremonies in the school so we usually only wear the blouse and skirt.

The skirt is above knee length, so when Blessie suddenly held unto my legs, I can feel her body warmth!

"Rae, please treat me for a tricycle fare. It's only seven pesos, please. Just enough for me to go home," Blessie said while clamping my legs and pouting.

She has signs of tears in her eyes and it feels like she's really going to cry in front of me this very minute.

Dug dug, dug dug.

The sound of my heart beats rang loud in my ears.

Avoid her gaze, Rae!

You'll be hypnotized by the pleading gaze of that ice queen who has deep dimples!

She's pouting hard, and it seems to be inviting me to give it a peck. The deep dimples we're also adding to her charisma as she's giving me this very cute expression.

"O-okay," I finally said, with a lot of difficulty and holding back. I then avoided her gaze.

Wooh! It's so hot here in the room!

Isn't the electric fan running?! I'm sweating here, people! Was there a black out?!

"Yes!" she said triumphantly.

I returned my gaze at her and saw her new reaction.

She's hopping around the room, with an obvious show of glee in her face.

Is she that happy that she got a free treat from me?

"You're amazing, Blessie! You managed to have the kuripot queen to give you a treat! I'll bow my head to you. You're a legend!" Ana exclaimed as she showered Blessie with praises and compliments.

-_- Is she that amazing?

Why am I starting to doubt myself?

I only said yes because it's the only way for me to control myself and to make her leave my legs!

I only shook my head. If you only knew the deeds of that ice queen, Ana.

I would die early from a heart attack because of her.

"Hey, Rae! What's this rumor that I've heard? Are you going to treat Blessie to a free tricycle ride?! How about us, friends of yours? You don't even treat us to a meal! And when she pleaded to you with her not so convincing tears, you agreed?!" Joana complained.

Joana is a member of our friend circle. She's a transferee and a player of hearts.

The men she enchanted since we transferred here cannot be counted in two hands. I'm not in any way trying to dirty her name. Really. She only ruthlessly rejected all those eager boys in their pursuit of love.

And I applaud her for that.

Our dear Joana cannot be taken simply by simple boys. Only a magnificent alpha of the pack can take our little cutie.

"Correction. She pleaded 'cutely'," I answered back.

Our classmates cheered because of what I said.

"So if we also plead cutely, the mighty queen would also treat us?" I just laughed softly at their antics.

Guys, even if she don't try to act cute with me, she'll always be cute in my eyes.

No sweat.

She effortlessly won the title of 'cute' for me.

"It's because I'm beautiful that's why I got the once in a blue moon treat of our queen. You guys should just accept that fact," she looked really smug when she said that.

She puffed her chest forward and huffed. Her dimples showing as she smirked down on our poor classmates who also wish to receive my blessings.

W-wait, my blessings?! Since when did I join their little farce?!

Anyway, I looked away, blushing.

Ihh!

She's super cute!

I had to abort the mission of staring at her longer, afraid that I would even offer my allowance of the week to her.

T_T my pockets would never bear to part with my saved money.

Woo! You need to avoid the tease, Rae!

You should always remember that the woman with deep dimples and scary stares would be very dangerous for your heart!
