Pagod akong naglakad papuntang locker ko para ilagay duon ang ilan kong mga libro. Andito pa ako sa economics building and there is still two more buildings na lalakarin ko bago ako makapunta sa locker area.
Gusto ko na lang umiyak. Anlayo na nga ng lalakarin ko, ansakit pa ng ulo ko ngayon. Paano ba naman, kakatapos lang ng calculus subject ko at may pa-surprise quiz na over 100 items si Prof. Trinidad.
Kapag talaga matandang dalaga na Prof napaka-terror. Isipin mo, sa amin ba naman ibunton ang galit niya sa mundo. Like duh? Kasalanan ba namin na wala siyang love life?
Nagpakawala na lamang ako ng malalim na buntong hininga. Kung alam ko lang na ganito pala ka-stressful ang buhay ng isang college student. Damn this place is just complete hell!
"Kung maka-buntong hininga ka parang salo mo problema ng tao sa buong mundo ah?"
Napalingon ako sa tabi ko at di ko napigilan na mapairap.
"Ano na naman bang kailangan mo, Mr. Benison? Kung andito ka para manggulo, then pass. H'wag mo akong kausapin ngayon wala ako sa mood."
Mabilis ang lakad na nilampasan ko siya pero dahil dakilang peste ang lalaki na 'to, sumunod pa siya sa akin.
"Ang cold mo talaga lagi sa akin, Ari. Hindi mo ba alam na maraming mga girls dyan ang nagkakandarapa makalapit lang sa akin?"
Ah! There he goes again. The hell I care with his fan girls who're as stupid as him. This stupid freaking a-hole really doesn't understand me at all. But I need to calm myself down. It would be a bad idea to cause a commotion here in the hallway.
And so I faced the ugly dog looking a-hole and give him a fake smile. Pwe! Smiling at him feels like shit even though it's fake.
"Mr. Owen Benison." I called him. Ngumiti naman siya sa akin and that gave me weird chills down my spine. Damn this bastard is a creep.
"Yes, my beautiful Aria."
Can I excuse myself to the toilet? I feel like vomiting right now. Hearing him say 'my beautiful Aria'. When the fuck did I became his? This stupid psycho!
Napapikit na lamang ako. Kailangan kong kumalma at magpigil. But darn it! Kung hindi lamang talaga siya anak ng may-ari ng University na 'to then I would have killed this son of a bitch a long time ago.
Owen Benison is the only son of the well-known Mr. Joel Benison, the owner and Dean of Benison University. And I was lucky enough to be a scholar in this famous and well-known University in the country. Thanks to my brain who passed the exams. That is why I can't act reckless. Even though I so much want to punch this a-holes face, I can't do that.
"Mr. Benison—"
"It's Owen, Ari. Call me Owen. You're too formal, it's like we're not of the same age." He said cutting me off.
Damn this bastard really dares to interrupt me from talking huh? I badly want to strangle his neck right here and now.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Calm, Aria. Keep Calm. Even though you're at your limit on killing that bastard you must still calm down.
I slightly cough to clear my throat.
"Then, Owen..."
I can't help but pause. Because the damn bastard was smiling from ear to ear just because I called his name.
Is he perhaps a lunatic? Most probably. I won't even be surprised.
"I would kindly like it if you please do refrain yourself from thinking that 'I' am one of 'those girls' who kept on 'fangirling' and 'fantasizing' over the likes of 'you'."
I said those words while looking at him with a fake warm and bright smile on my face. I want to throw up but I have to restrain myself from doing so.
But seriously though, I would rather die than be one or be a member of his 'fan girls'. Just even thinking about it gives me the creeps. Like hell no!
Huminga muna ako ng malalim saka ako nagpatuloy magsalita.
"Oh! And also, I would like you to stop approaching me from now on. If it isn't an important matter then it would be best to not talk or go near me. I wouldn't want to die early from the hands of your 'fandom'. Now if you'll excuse me, I still have some business I need to attend to."
Ciao. Adios. Goodbye bitch. I'm done!
Tumango ako sa kaniya at saka nauna nang maglakad paalis. And thankfully, I didn't hear any footsteps of him following me which made me relax.
Thank God! I think that would be enough for him to stop approaching me from now on. I'm not dense to not know that Owen does like me - well he did said that to me multiple of times already to the point that it became so annoying.
And I'm also not dumb to not feel the stares of her fan girls who are around us earlier. Maraming mata ang nakatingin sa amin at pinapanood kami ng lalaking 'yon. We're at the hallway after all. Still a public place, and students are found everywhere.
Well, let's say that Owen Benison does have good looks. He's famous and known after all. Kaya nga may fandom siya eh. And some of her fan girls are psychos.
I even remember that time na may naglagay ng note sa locker ko, threatening me to stay away from Owen Benison. That time I didn't feel scared or threatened, not even an ounce. Do you know what I feel? I felt like I had read the funniest joke I ever read in my whole entire life. I was laughing my ass out that time. Why, you ask? Well it's simple. It's because from the very beginning I am not the one who kept on approaching him. It's the other way around.
I'm not being cocky or anything right now just because a good looking guy who's the son of the owner of the University kept on approaching me. I am confident with my looks.
I'm Ariana Lei Valencia. A twenty-one year old college student taking up Business Management. Hindi ako sobrang ganda pero confident naman ako sa itsura ko.
Dark brown shoulder length wavy hair. Deep brown colored eyes. Slightly tanned skin. 5'9 ft of height. And a normal body weight.
Five minutes of waking and I finally reached the locker room. Dumeretso ako sa locker ko, unlocked the pin and placed my books and other materials inside. Nang matapos ay isinara ko rin agad iyon at naglakad na muli papunta sa dorms.
