Playful Destiny Alyanna

I just arrived at the Lodge from a long flight. I also traveled for almost six hours to here in Batanes. I am here for a part-time job, that is to take different photos from the Islands of Batanes.

After putting my things inside the house, I got ready to go out to start my goal. Carrying my favorite digital camera and a small back pack, I set off for Morong Beach, also known as Sabtan Island, Batanes. This place is one of the beautiful tourist spotted.

When I got there I was amazed at the beauty of the place. But there are a lot of people today because it's a summer day, while I walk I take pictures, I don't waste time because almost everything I see really amazes me with its beauty. I was looking at the camera so that it was right in front of my eye while one eye was closed. I was so excited to take pictures of that place one by one when suddenly someone bumped into me behind me so I fell down on my camera. The crash hit me hard, causing my nose and eyes to hurt because the camera I was holding just hit my face. In my anger, I faced the person who bumped into me, a man with glasses who I estimate has a grade of 500 and above. He was still a little dizzy from the strong collision with me, he quickly looked for his cell phone that fell on the floor.

"What are you? Are you blind and didn't see me?" I yelled at him who was currently bent down because he picked up his cell phone that had been removed from the case.

"Sorry miss, I didn't notice you." He said softly, he wasn't looking at me, he was holding his cellphone that was damaged due to the fall.

"Tsk! With the size of your magnifying glass in your eyes, you haven't seen me? My God! Increase the grade of your glasses so you don't pervert others!" he said while snobbing at the baduy man for dressing up. Messy hair like ancient clothing; He wears baggy jeans and loose shirts.

He stood up and looked straight at me. I looked up a bit because it's 5'7" tall.

"Sorry miss, I really didn't mean it," he said softly, sounding like music to his ears.

I raised an eyebrow at him and gave him a hard time before I turned and walked away. Sorry is not accepted, I've been hurt and what happened can't be undone.

Trev just shook his head at Ynna's in-laws.

He is Roberto Montelibano, Trev for short, 21 years old, Graduating College Student (Marine Biology course). On the Dean's List at a premiere university; His General Weighted Average (GWA) is close to the GWA of Magna Cum Laude. Softspoken when speaking; with shyness stuck. Super brainy and almost always serious in life. Secretive and mysterious especially when it comes to women. Trev has a lean, muscular body because he is a swimmer/scuba diver. Some women think of him as a nobody or geek in their university but in reality if he forms and dresses correctly, he will beat anyone with his handsomeness. Trev has a secret crush on a MassCom girl at their university but because she looked like a geek before, she ignores him.

Because the sunlight is quite hot. I sat under the tree. I took the mineral water I had in my bag and opened it to quench my thirst. But I almost lost my mind when I saw a naked man walking towards me. It was carrying juice, I felt even more thirsty because of its muscular body. I just realized that it was right in front of me, and it was looking at me seriously.

"Hi," he said while reaching for the juice he was holding.

I was stunned, why is he giving me juice?

"W-for what?" I stammered.

"Peace offering..." he said as he hung up.

I frowned and remembered again the baduy man who bumped into me earlier. "Y-you?!" I exclaimed after observing its new appearance compared to before, which looked like a geek. I can't believe that he's so handsome that he's just hiding from being a geek.

Trev smiled and sat down next to her. After Trev saw Ynna here in Batanes, he thought it was not a waste to come here. He had a long crush on Ynna, the girl who ignored him at the university, because she was a geek. Now, he didn't think that she would admire him after transforming into a geek.

"A... eh... what? Why-" I stammered after my brain worked and I could describe what was in front of me. What the hell Ynna, why are you stuttering? You just saw a handsome man and you can't be bothered?

"Trev by the way." Trev extended his hand to introduce himself.

"Ynna," he said, extending his hand as well.

"Do you want to go swimming?" Trev asked Ynna.

"Huh? I don't want to! I mean... I can't swim." I can't say I have a swimming trauma.

Trev held out his hand. "I can help you, for what I did to you earlier."

I swallowed saliva. Why can't I say no to this man? Why do I feel like I'm going crazy? Trev's hand was shaking as I reached for it. He smiled as if I agreed to his offer. I'm still a bit confused because I just met Trev, even though he's familiar to me, I can't remember where I saw him.

"Are you nervous?" Trev asked me, even though his face was serious, I could see that he was worried about my appearance. My hands are cold and I'm shivering, I'm not really ready for swimming, the truth is that the clothes I'm wearing aren't really for swimming.

"Ahm... maybe next time!" he said shaking Trev's hand, I walked out back under the tree. I may not be able to face my fear yet.

He just joined me under the tree. I was just thinking, why does he have to accompany me? I was able to glance at it, while Trev was looking at the sea and observing the beauty of the place.

"Maybe I'm more beautiful than the scenery?" said Trev as if cold water had been poured on me. It turned out that it noticed my constant staring.

"Huh? Are you talking to me?" I asked so he wouldn't notice that I was ashamed of what I had done.

He smiled and I saw his beautiful teeth again.

"What are you doing here?" I'll change the subject. I'm a little crazy about what I'm doing so I have to confuse him so I don't look ridiculous.

"Nothing, I just like to vacation anywhere. You, why are you here?" Trev asked me.

"Ahm... nothing either, I was just looking for something to see," he said.

I probably don't need to tell you the real reason why I'm here. Because most of the other students are having fun and relaxing because today is vacation. Vacation is not in my vocabulary, because it's better to have extra money while on vacation.

Trev just nodded, so I breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe my answer is okay here.

After I drank the juice he brought, I stood up.

"Thank you for the juice, I'm leaving." He said goodbye while taking the backpack and I started walking, but suddenly Trev spoke,

"Hey! Ynna, can you..." he was still too shy to speak and he could barely look at me.

"Could it be?" I asked because of what he was going to say.

"Can I invite you to dinner later?"

I was stunned by his question. And I seem to smile uncontrollably.

"Okay!" I replied turning my back so he wouldn't see my blushing face.

"Really? Thank you Ynna!" Trev shouted, punching the air. "Yes! Good job Trev," Trev muttered to himself.

To be honest, he didn't really transform from being a geek. He just took off his glasses and only wore shorts because he was actually going swimming. He actually just saw Ynna walking on the beach so he looked for something to offer here.

A few hours later I was back home. I lay down on the bed and stretched my back for a while. But Trev came into my mind again, I immediately sat down and it was as if he was squeezing my ass, took the pillow and stopped it from moving.

"Wahhh! What's wrong Ynna, why are you so excited? Out of the many people who are planning to court you, you were hit on by that one?" I mumbled to myself.

I stood up to grab my equipment. I looked for the best dress I had brought for our date later. "Date? What date? You were just invited to eat, now it's a date? Erase, erase!" I laughed and touched my face, and I felt it was hot, maybe it was red by now.

As expected, I went to the restaurant. There is only one restaurant there because it is also far from the town. It is impossible for us to meet in another place. When I got to the doorway, I immediately looked for Trev, but I didn't see him.

"Come on! Maybe we're not really going to eat here, I forgot to ask which place." I just went and was about to leave when someone suddenly called me.

"Ynna!" called a man who was sitting almost in front of him he had never seen before.

He looked at it and felt as if he had been slapped with ten hands when he saw Trev's appearance.

He was again wearing glasses with a grade, messy hair and loose clothes and pants. I'm almost back, why am I looking for a handsome man? And in real life, Trev is really a geek.

Trev stood up, held out his hand to support me but I declined. I took the initiative to sit in the chair in front of him, I bowed because I was a bit shy around people. Trev doesn't look bad, but I don't feel like I'm wearing what he's wearing, I've even prepared for this, he'll just bring back his geekiness!

Even though I was annoyed, I didn't show it to Trev, it was also quiet. So I didn't talk much. We just ate and when it was over I said goodbye to go home. Maybe he also felt like I didn't want to be with him anymore.

"I'll take you to your Lodge Ynna," Trev offered me but I quickly refused.

"No!" I exclaimed in shock. It was also stunned by my reaction. "I mean, it's okay. I can go home alone. Ahmm... thanks for the dinner," he said while turning away. I didn't look around anymore. It's my first time to go on a date with a guy who looks like a nerd. I'm disgusted with myself.

That was the last time Trev and I saw each other. After that night, I didn't see him on the Island either, it's a good thing then, he should try to fix himself first before flirting. "Flirt? You're not flirting with me!" I whispered to myself as I walked along the waterfront. I guess I'm the only one who expects something.

After a two-week vacation, I'm back at school. I was walking to the university when I saw my friend Mik-mik, we were in the same course and we just met in the room. Because Mik-mik was my seatmate, he became my close friend.

"Pssst! Bes, how was your vacation? Terrible! You didn't even reply to my chats? I was going to invite you to my cousin's Birthday party." Mik-mik is present,

"Sorry Bes, there isn't much signal where I went. That's why I couldn't open messenger, I can't go because I'm in Batanes," he said to Mik-mik.

"Batanes? What did you do there? Have you met your Mr. Dreamboy?" Mik-mik asked, starting to fool me again. I like it because it's different from each other.

I remembered the man I dated there. And I just laughed because of my stupidity.

"Ayiieee... what kind of smile is that? Did something happen that I don't know about?" Mik-mik asked while poking my side.

"What are you talking about? It's nothing! Let's go and we'll be late." I pulled Mik-mik to enter the university. Our room is a bit far because the school is wide.

We were close to our building when we heard girls screaming. Mik-mik was immediately stunned and almost broke his neck when he turned to see who the girls were staring at.

"He's so handsome!"

"Oh my gosh! You're all mine, brother..."

"Which department is he in? Why did I just see him now?" those are the cries of women who can't dance together in excitement and screaming.

"Who's that? Come on, let's take a look at who it is!" Mik-mik pulled me towards the students who were gathering.

"What are you doing, we're going to be late!" I mumble because I'm not really interested.

"Just a moment, I can't rest until I see him." Mik-mik cleared the obstructing students. "Let's go sister, let's go," he said so we reached the first part. Even though I didn't want to look at what they were talking about, I got a glimpse because of the students' laughter.

That's how surprised I was when I saw the man being confused.

"Trev?!" I exclaimed when I saw the geek guy again. He is no longer a nerd, he has truly transformed. He cut his hair and no longer wears glasses. It simply puts on contact lenses with a grade so there is no need for glasses. Even his clothes have changed, he has the same strength as before, especially since he is so handsome without a pimple on his face.

I feel like I'm stuck in my position. Especially when he stood up and walked towards me. My heartbeat seems to be getting stronger, what should I do? I heard the loud roar of my heartbeat.

It's only a few steps away from me, the girls behind me are almost no longer dancing.

I was already smiling because of the thrill, but suddenly...

He suddenly walked past as if he didn't recognize me. Doesn't he know me? I was stunned and felt a pain in my heart. I just turned around as he walked while the female students chased after him.

"What's the matter?" Mik-mik looked at me. It has been staring at me for a while now. "Trev what were you talking about earlier?" this is a curious question.

Instead of answering that, I pulled him away. "I don't know about you! You said we're going to be late, you put your gossip first."

It followed me and was still sniffling like a child. "Why? You don't want to see someone, then it's true that he's handsome, who could that be? Is that a new transfer here?" Mik-mik asked angrily.

I just walked towards our room shaking. But despite my smile, I remembered again what Trev did to me. I'm sure it's Trev, why is he here? Is he also studying here? What course? Which department? But if it was him, why did he ignore me? I sighed and sat in my chair. I feel tired, I'm tired of thinking without an answer.

"Hey bes! Why are you so stupid? Are you thinking about your Trev? Yiieeee..." Mik-mik joked to me as if it was really a vice to tease me.

"No!" I quickly refused, I was stunned because Mik-mik widened my eyes. "I mean, I'm not thinking, who is Trev? Maybe it's just my imagination." I took my book and focused my eyes on it. I'm sure that when I'm ready like that, Mik-mik won't make fun of me anymore, because he knows that I'm serious about studying and when I'm studying, I don't want to be distracted.

While staring at the book, my mind was running to Trev. I really couldn't get it out of my mind that he pretended not to know me. I was very upset because of what he did to me.

After a while, the class started, even though I was confused, I still managed to listen and understand what our prof was teaching.

After an hour of teaching, we left the room. We will be back after a thirty minute break. Mik-mik and I entered the cafeteria to eat but I could already hear the murmuring of the students at the door. Speaking of these, Roberto Montelibano, a Marine Student, is said to be spreading the various shots of him from those who see him. The others are curious about Roberto's personality, so they know almost everything that can be searched about the personality. Roberto suddenly appeared at the school. But what they wonder is why it seems to be okay with the teachers.

But what they wonder is why it seems to be okay with the teachers.

Mik-mik and I sat on the side, there were four seats there, we had no other choice because there was no one else to sit.

"Let's put our things down here first before we line up. We might run out of seats!" Mik-mik suggested to me.

I followed him and we lined up in a long line. Less than a minute later, we heard a scream again. So those in the front line ran out of the cafeteria. Mik-mik and I were left stunned as we were the only ones in line.

"Hala bes! Maybe that's Mr. Handsome!" Mik-mik said excitedly while I was getting stronger again in my chest. I thought, this is our chance to get ahead of the queue.

"Don't mess with them anymore, come on!" I pulled Mik-mik to choose something to eat. While I was shopping, the girls came closer and closer. I feel that the man everyone is looking forward to is coming.

"Oh my gosh bes! Here he is!" said Mik-mik who couldn't be bothered because it felt like his ass was being pinched.

I turned around because I thought it might be Trev. Maybe he just didn't really notice me that's why he snubbed me. But if I introduce myself, maybe he will remember me.

"Oh my gosh! Bes is really handsome," said Mik-mik, who was already staring at me. I saw Trev coming closer to us, maybe he will eat too so he is here now.

I still haven't received what I ordered. It's just being fixed by the crew who is spooning in the food. It's like I'm being rehearsed because in my mind, Trev is waiting for me to finish so he can order food.

It's just a serious face shopping for food. I can see out of the corner of my eye so I know what he is doing.

Does he really not remember me? I faced him and had the courage to stare at him, I succeeded because he also looked at me. I had the courage to smile and speak.

"Hey Trev! Why are you here?" I asked him which surprised all the students there who were looking at us.

"Oh my gosh! They know each other?"

"Are you and your sister close?"

"He's lucky,"

I heard whispers from those there. Mik-mik was the same, who was quiet because I knew the man everyone was talking about.

A few seconds before Trev spoke, my chest was still pounding at that time.

"Excuse me miss, are you done?" it seriously promises that it refers to my order.

I looked at the crew that served us and saw that the food I ordered was okay. I was embarrassed to pick up the tray and I almost fell because of embarrassment when he called me miss, I turned to leave in front of him, he didn't really know me.

Even though I was embarrassed, I continued to sit in my seat. I'm upset because of what happened,

What are you thinking Ynna? why are you so ksp? Then you are ashamed of what you did. I scolded myself.

Although confused, Mik-mik had the courage to ask,

"Bes, are you okay? Who is Trev and you called Roberto Trev? Are you okay?" Mik-mik asked worriedly,

Instead of responding, I turned my face even more. I'm really ashamed of what I did, what will others think? I'm assuming?

I secretly kick under the table. I'm very annoyed with what I'm doing stupidly.

I turned around at Trev's table, it was like a king that everyone was watching while eating, I remembered Trev being a geek, I was ashamed to eat because his form was really ugly.

"Wait!" I suddenly screamed which surprised Mik-mik.

"What wait?" this is a question,

"I can't..." I thought again and looked at Trev. It looks like my suspicions were right, maybe he's just handsome and pretending to be a geek. Because it's like fairy tales. He is looking for the mate of his heart. I suddenly smiled, I was one of the girls he chose. But my smile suddenly disappeared when I remembered that we had a bad parting that time.

"Bes! What are you doing? I'm scared of you huh! It's like you're possessed by an evil spirit. Are you really okay?" Mik-mik asked me.

"Stop taking the pills, I'm telling you! The effect is not good!" said Mik-mik, confused by my mood swings.

"Bes, maybe you know something that can be extracted at night?" he immediately asked Mik-mik. How come, I remembered that our electricity bill is about to pay. I might be pressed for money if I lost my pocket.

"Extra? At night?" Mik-mik looked at my chest so my eyes widened and I covered it.

"What the! That's not what I meant, besides, even if I'm in trouble! I'll never sell a body." I quickly promised Mik-mik.

Instead of speaking, he burst out laughing. It was still kicking on the floor while holding its stomach.

"Hahaha. You're crazy, what do you think of me as a pimp? That's not what I'm offering!" he said, still grinning because he couldn't stop laughing.
