Chapter 4 The Campus

Chapter 4

After we arrived at the campus, I immediately disembarked from the vehicle and noticed the way others were looking at me. What on earth! I promptly slung my bag over my shoulder and turned to Dane.

"Oh, why?!" I inquired.

"Could you kindly ask those individuals to cease their unwarranted stares?" I expressed, shaking my head in exasperation.

"What's the issue with them looking at you? Don't you want them to be friendly?" he remarked, causing my expression to turn serious.

"So, you're implying that I'm unattractive, huh?!" I snorted, to which he simply chuckled and ushered me inside.

"Hey Daniel!" I called out, annoyed.

"Daniel!" I called again, as he had ignored me. Thank you!

Upon our arrival in the hallway, he promptly handed me the paper bag he had been holding.

"What's this?" I inquired.

"Open it to find out," he replied, and I hesitated.

Upon opening it, I discovered it was a jacket.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" I questioned.

"Wear it, most likely!" he responded, somewhat irritated, causing me to wince as I reluctantly put it on. Psh.

We encountered the principal, and I noticed his raised eyebrows.

"What are you wearing, Ms. Samonte?!" he demanded, clearly irritated, to which I grinned.

"Um, a red tube top and denim pants. My underwear is also red, and, well, nothing else-"

"I couldn't finish what I was going to say because Dane immediately covered my mouth.

"Sorry, ma'am," he said to the principal and pulled me to our room.

There aren't many students yet, so it's even better because there's no noise.

"Tomorrow, put on a proper uniform, and attend all our subjects," he said, and I just blinked, and I saw his annoyed aura, so I winced.

Just like Dane wanted me to attend all of our Prof's subjects, but I was asleep.

"I said, didn't you enter all our subjects?" he said, annoyed while we were in the cafeteria.

"Yes, I followed," I said while drinking my shake.

"But you're asleep," he said, so I laughed softly and shrugged my shoulders.

He's now in beast mode when I'm in a pretty okay mood; he's the one acting now! I can scratch it. Don't cry just yet. Later.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" he said.

"Later I will come to you, and I will explain everything," I said, and he looked at me and threw the tissues in front of us.

"Look, Eya! Your brain might still be damaged. You had an accident in the last two years," he said. That's why I was stunned because I remembered what happened last night, and my mother and I answered.

"That's why I was the one who said it, and I felt my cheeks getting hot, but he just laughed at me, so I hit him.

"You look crazy!" I said, annoyed, and took my water bottle to drink some water.

"What feeling?" He laughed at the question, so that's why I made him suffer.

"Yes. You can wait until later so I can sleep with you again," I said, and he just shook his head.

As soon as the bell rang, I immediately grabbed my bag and looked at Dane, who was packing his things.

"Let's go home, baby!" I said, raising my voice a little so that those in front of us would notice.

"Are you going to have fun?" a classmate asked, sorry, but I don't know the names of our classmates. I saw Dane's eyes widen, but I just winked at him, and our classmates started cheering.

"You're something else!" the classmate said, thrilled.

"Thank you!" I said with a smile as I grabbed Dane's arm while he was standing.

When we left the cafeteria, we proceeded to the parking lot and got into his car.

"I'm going to your house, right?" I asked as I searched for my phone in my bag.

"Just spend the night at our place tomorrow, Eya. It's just to earn some money – I mean, for my mom and me," he said, and I glanced at him.

"Okay," I replied, and he smiled at me.

After he handed me my phone, I playfully kissed him on the cheek and acted like a baby.

"Drive safely," I said, waving at him.

When I entered the house, I only encountered the maids.

"Señora and Ms. Elaine are leaving," Manang Lorna said politely, which made me raise an eyebrow.

"You didn't inquire, huh?! I don't care if they run away!" I shouted, causing her to bend down. I felt a tinge of guilt but not too much.

"Sorry," I muttered and went upstairs. Gosh! I didn't intend to shout at her. I was just really irritated by what I heard. I quickly changed into casual clothes and lay down on my bed, taking my laptop and opening my account.

"I will not disturb Dane because I know he is busy with his family. I immediately opened my friend request. Shocks! There are so many of them, they added almost 4k plus to me which I can't accept! I'm sorry. I just accepted my acquaintances like my classmates this year so they won't gossip about me that I'm the son of Satan. Next thing I did was stalk Dane's wall. Nothing new! He doesn't even post anything else but just us tsk! You know Dane, if he wasn't my friend, I would think he was a real man. How come? I didn't even see him attracted to the hotties at our school. I admit that I also met some hot people like Dane, but I didn't really like them or even like or stalk them. I don't know about gay yarn. When I felt that my eyes were hurting and I was getting bored scrolling through my timeline, I immediately logged out. Then I noticed that it was already late, and I didn't even realize that my stomach was getting a little sick. I went down to get my food when I saw Mom and Sister happily opening their purchases. Ts! They stole grandma Alicia's money that was meant for me. I saw Sister turning to me..."

"i bought it. don't worry, we bought it too, take a look," he said, but i ignored him and just took water and drank it.

"manang, what's for food?" i asked.

"i cooked kare-kare," he said, which is why i immediately looked at him with displeasure.

"are you insane?! you know i'm allergic to peanuts, right?!!" i said angrily, causing him to bow down.

"i'm sorry, ms. eya! i just followed the lady's order earlier," he said as i clung to my glass very tightly.

"just cook something else, man-aaahh!"

he screamed when i poured cold water on him.

"how dare you... i'm your mother!!!" he shouted.

"are you that desperate, huh?! do you really intend to kill me?!" i screamed angrily here.

"what are you talking about, not now, eya!!" he said, sounding a little nervous to remember what i meant.

"since you did that to me, i don't think of you as a mother anymore!" i said softly, and he looked away.

"hey.. what are you talking about?! is that how you talk to our mommy?" sister said angrily, so i sneered at her and quickly went up to my room. i immediately called dane to try to calm me down somehow. i just want to hear his voice.

"hello, who's this?" asked a woman on the other line. i immediately clicked the name, maybe i pressed it wrong, but it was actually dane's number.

"where's dane?!" i will ask.

"who's dane?" asked the woman.

"i mean daniel, where is daniel?!" i'm annoyed by the question.

"why?!" this question made me close my eyes tightly.

"just answer my question, stupid!" i said annoyed.

"what the! are you cursing me?!" it said angrily.

"yes, i'm cursing you! so whoever you are, you're a coward! tell me where dane is?!" i shouted here.

"what do you need from my fiancé?!" he said it artfully, that's why i was even more annoyed.

"are you kidding me?! hey, don't fool me. i don't have time to joke with you!" i shouted angrily.

"i don't know what you're talking about, girl," he replied, and i just washed my face.

"where is dane?" i shouted again.

"well, if you're looking for my fiancé, he's busy, so just tell me," he said, sounding confused.

"you know, girl, are you out of breath or maybe your brain has a cough! dane is gay!" i shouted once more.

"sorry! you've got the wrong number, girl. my future husband is a boy, okay?" he said as he ended the call.

"hey, crazy-kingin_ng the village butterfly!"

annoyed, i got up and changed my clothes.

here's the english translation of the provided text:

"when i arrived at their house, there was no one except their maid and guard. they let me in, and i went straight to dane's room. i was going to wait for him, but hey! i lay on his bed for an hour, but nothing happened, so i just watched his tv to reduce my boredom. after another hour passed with nothing, i called him, but he couldn't be reached. hey daniel luke sebastian! who is the talk of the town!!!!!

daniel's p.o.v

we were currently on a flight when i noticed that my phone was not in my pocket.

"did you see my phone?" i asked vanessa seriously.

"oh, your phone? here. you left it on the table earlier, so i took it for safekeeping," he said. i immediately took it from him and noticed that it was dead. i was about to turn on my phone when he asked,

"hey, who was the woman who called earlier... her name is 'eya'?"

"yes!" i replied in surprise.

"know her?"

"you answered?! as for vanessa, didn't you give it to me earlier?!" i asked annoyed.

"are you angry?! who is that?" he said, crying, so i held my breath.

"she's my best friend. what did you say to her?!" i asked nervously.

"ma, you're my fiancé!" he said, so i washed my face.

"brother! please drive faster!" i said irritated.

"what's wrong, daniel?" he asked.

"i can't go with you anymore. brother, i'll just go down to the corner," i told his driver, and he followed suit. so, i quickly got off and didn't listen to what he had to say.

i immediately opened my phone and called eya, but she didn't answer. until i received his messages, and he was very angry. i immediately hailed a taxi and went home.

when i arrived home, i was immediately greeted by manang lory.

"is he upstairs?" i asked.

"yes, sir, a while ago," he said. so, i immediately went up to my room, and when i entered, i saw him fast asleep.

i came to him and sat next to him.

"hey," i called her softly, and she woke up, her eyes widening when she saw me. he sat up and faced me.

"what time is it now?!" he shouted at me.

"sorry, i didn't know you were here," i calmly told him.

it shouted at me, so i laughed softly. "sorry, don't get angry," i said here. "h-that's not true, is it?!" he said, crying, so i bowed down. "i-is this one of your secrets from me, dane?" he said, and i looked at him because i could hear him crying softly. "i-i'm sorry!" i just said. "y-you're gay! s-tell me you're gay. i-i'm ok, don!" it screamed. "i'm not gay," i told him, trying to calm myself, especially when i saw him cry even more. "will you be happy or hurt?" he asked me, and i just pulled him to hug me. "s-so... that bastard is your f-fiancee?! w-when?" it asked. "when we were kids, our parents told us that they wanted us to stay together, but i didn't like him... so i pretended to be gay because i thought he was going to walk away from me, but he didn't care if i was gay," i told him. "w-what should i do? i-i haven't yet seduced you; i'll lose right away," she said, crying, so i pulled her away from me and wiped the tears from her face. "m-we're still friends," i said, but he shook his head.

"i-i love you, dane!" it said crying.

"do you think what i show you is just a joke to me, huh? i love you!" it shouted.

i didn't answer what he said because i didn't want to let him down. yes, i love him too, but when my family decides, there is nothing i can do.

"h-you don't love me, do you?" he said weakly.

"i-i love you... because you're my friend," i said.

"it's a pain; i'm in the friend zone," he said as he stood up and took his stuff.

"hey! it's night-"

"i can handle myself!" he said this seriously, but i held his arm.

"i'll take you," i said seriously so he didn't do anything. while we were on the flight, he didn't answer but he kept crying.

when we got to them, he got off without looking at me or even talking to me, so i just sighed and left.

tomorrow

early on, i went to nasi eya's house so we could go in together, but their maid just said that she won't be coming in today, so i sighed and tried to call her, but she kept ignoring me.

i let it go; he must have been shocked by what he found out yesterday, and i can't blame him. i know it's hard for him, and it's hard for me too.
