Chapter 3 First Ride.

All guys are the same.

They will love you at first.

And leave you at the end.

That's how life sucks.

People, come... and go...

Just how the people around me did.

So ever since I was a kid, I trained myself not to lean from anyone. I should be able to survive every pain, every sadness, every anxiety I face alone. Because what I have is myself. Only, myself.

I pity myself silently. And I don't let anyone saw it, I don't let anyone notice it. I feel always weak, but, what they seen was the hard-headed me. Hard-headed Olivia everyday.

For the eyes of every people around me... I am that worst woman. I am that bothersome human being. They don't care about what I feel. They don't care about what I care. They just care for themselves. To satisfy themselves by throwing hates to me. Leaving sadness to me.

My father think I will never change. My father think that I was born for this, born arrogant and reckless. But no, I wasn't. That's why I am thinking if he should really knows his daughter? Because if he knows me... He will get the thought that I only get into this point because of him, because his what he acts and for what he have done.

Because after all, this is all his fault. After my mother died, he replaced her immediately. Bragging the respect, without even thinking of my mother. He don't care on what his child might feel. Because... He thinks only for his self. Only for his wealth.

"Why do you hate me?"

I looked at my back when I sunddenly heard a voice. I saw Calix there, standing while leaning against the wall with hands in his pocket. I did not answer him and just travelled my eyes at the blue shaded sky. I'm currently on our terrace to smell some fresh air. I'm suffocated inside.

"Why do you hate me?" He asked again.

"Ask the bird." I answered after watching a small black bird rested on the electricity wire near our house.

I heard footsteps, probably coming from Calix' feet. He's now walking towards my direction.

Without looking at him, with the use of my peripheral vision, I saw him rested his wrist on the steal barrier.

"Okay," he whistles to call the attention of the bird. The bird flew towards the wire that is nearly placed in our house. Nearer that before. "Hey, why do you hate me?" He asked the bird.

I rolled my eyes. I don't know if I should laugh or not-ugh! Does it matter? "Idiot." I hissed.

"I am maybe poor but I'm decent" he utters.

"Did I ask?" I said careless with his words.

He chortles. "I know. I just want to make the things clear. My mother is not a mistress of your father. My mom was already married to my dad and is faithful to each other. Don't fill your mind with so many thoughts, my mother will never ever be a threat for you." he stated.

I don't answer him again and just left him there to enter my room. I acted like I did not hear him, like I did not care about it.

He was just making me regret for the words I threw towards him lately. And I don't like that, having regrets isn't my thing.

I woke up in the morning to prepare myself for my class. I take a bath and thereafter I wore my uniform. It's a long sleeves white uniform on top with a navy blue necktie and pencil cut skirt, same color. I put on my sacks together with my shoes. I even put some make up on my face so I won't look pale.

I went to the kitchen to have some breakfast. Gladly no one is there so I eat foods peacefully. I drunk the coffee on my glass straight so I won't get late. It's already 7:30 am and I'm running out of time. My first class starts at exactly eight am.

I was running throughout the house, trying to reach the garage that fast. I was a bit smiling, excited to leave the house but it immediately faded the moment I saw Calix sitting on the driver's seat of my father's car. I try looking at the other car and saw it already leaving, it was driving by our house driver and his passenger was my highschool sisters.

I'm a college student so I'm in a different way. They did use the other car! What the hell!

"You will be with Calix starting from now. You will be his ridemate. Be with him before and after class." My dad ruled.

"No, I don't! I can use another transportation there. I can use bus." I responded.

"Use bus then... no allowance, no partys" dad conditioned so I have nothing to do but to follow him. I walk with heavy feet towards the car and angrily sat at the shotgun seat. I was going to argue with him again but I restrained myself because I know... I am always the loser.

I never win whenever he uses my freedom as his threat.

I put on the seatbelt when Calix started driving, leaving the mansion, leading the way to university. It was a horrifying ride with him so I opened my bag to search for my ear pods but I see nothing! I forgot to put it in my bag! Goodness! How lucky I am today!

I sigh so deep to gained more patience. I'm so mad. I'm enrage. What a 'good' morning it is.

"So you're attending a party?" Calix started a topic. I saw him did a U-turn.

"It's non of your business." I rolled my eyes. It's already programmed on my body that if he talks to me, I'll do this shit manner. I believe rolling your eyes to someone is a disrespectful manner. I hope he feel so disrespected. Because at first, he don't deserve to be respected.
