Chapter Three
After I leave the room, I immediately went to the place my classmates were telling me.
There’s no professor lecturing when I arrived.
“WHO THE HELL IS RUZZEL ESTRADA?” I shouted. Yes, because of annoyance and eagerness to punch this guy named Russel, I need to shout.
The whole class was shocked then, later on, a guy approached me.
Tall.
Fair skin.
Smells good.
Handsom----
What the?!?
Why I am describing this creature in front of me? >.<
"Looking for me frat princess?" he almost whispered the question while biting his lower lip.
Is he now trying to seduce me? Psh. I rolled my eyes.
“YOU’RE THE ONE WHO PUTS THE LETTERS AND CHOCOLATES ON MY LOCKER, RIGHT?”
He just smiled at me. The level of irritation inside my body, now overflowed.
And because I could no longer control my annoyance, I punched him.
I see him twisting and his classmates are making some noise too.
HE.
DESERVES.
IT!
I was about to leave the room when someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder.
When I turned around, I saw his face again. I gave him a smirk.
"I like you, Aliyah," he said seriously.
If earlier was a punch, now it’s a slap. On both cheeks just to be fair.
He looked at me as if asking, what-was-that-for? And so I explained.
"First slap, for holding my shoulder. Second slap, for you to wake up. My punch earlier? For the chocolates and letters, you put them in my locker. So now, never bother me again. Mr. Casanova! "
What I expect is that ... he will agree with what I wanted to happen. But!
NO!
He was getting closer and closer to me.
Closer and closer until I was stranded in a corner.
He leaned even closer to me. His scent is capturing my senses.
"You mentioned I was Mr. Casanova right? So you know me, huh?" and he even managed to smile. I could not speak because of his presence. Maybe this man has a demon inside him the reason why I was speechless for a few seconds as well.
"What now Sweetie?" he caught again my attention.
"Don't fly high, you demon! you're too ambitious! It's just that... it's just that! Arrggh! In the first place, why am I trying to explain myself to you?" I rolled my eyes then walked straight out.
RUZZEL JIM ESTRADA'S POV
That woman is a blast!
I thought it was just gossip that she’s like a hurricane and a monster but it's real. I just witnessed it.
She’s not a typical girl. She even hurt me not once, not twice but thrice on our first meeting! If she will be the last girl in the world, I will choose not to court her! I’ll be glad to throw her away to the forest.
Wait! Hahahaha! I was just annoyed with that girl. With what I said to her earlier? That I like her? It was just a show. My friends and I agreed on a bet. I have to court Aliyah and I must get a big ‘YES’ from her as an answer. If I succeed, they will have to pay me a large amount of money and if I failed, I will be the one who will pay them instead.
During break time, I went to the cafeteria to meet my friends. They were all waiting for me.
“How are you Ruzzel?” asked Josh then they laughed at me.
“Looks like you already failed Ruz, you must surrender already! Give us the money dude!” Mark added.
“That girl just punches you and slaps you, bro! How pathetic!” said Light.
I kicked the table because of annoyance.
“The game has just begun! So keep quiet! You are all annoying me! Where’s your support? Friends, huh?”
Then they laughed again.
“Relax Ruz.” Light said in a cool manner.
“Give me a month. Before the deadline ends, Aliyah will surely answer me.” I am that determined to get her precious--- yes.
“A month? Isn’t that too long?” -Mark
“Yes, I also think that’s too long.” -Josh
“Fine, three weeks.” -me, bartering.
“Still too long.” - Yael
“So, last deal. Two weeks.” - Mark
“Deal.” all of them replied except me.
Is my answer relevant here? Tsk! I have no choice! Two weeks!?!
Can I finish my mission in just two weeks ??
