You May Now Kiss The Bride

"Annoying. Annoying. Really annoying >.<" I muttered to myself while getting ready for school.

I still can't believe I'm married at the age of 18. To think that I'm stuck with a guy I can't even get along with -___-"

This is really a bad turn for life.

So frustrating.

It's because of Mom and Dad. Hay! I don't know why they even considered such things. I can't take it. I don't want to be called the black sheep of our family >.<

I've been married for a week now. A week of enduring the sight of that guy. Thankfully, even though we live in the same house, we still have some privacy.

I will never like this arrogant guy!! Over my dead sexy body. Hahaha

After fixing myself, I stepped out of my room to eat and head to school.

I suddenly looked at Daniel, who was eating in the kitchen.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT AGAIN?!" Wow, talk about starting the day off with high blood.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!" I shouted back at him.

I opened the fridge to get some juice and bread.

Then I took a bite of the bread.

"Yuck! No grace at all, ever!" he said as he slammed his glass on the table. "I'm leaving!" Go ahead. As if I care.

"Whatever," I said to him.

"Oh, by the way!" he added before leaving the door. "Don't talk to me at school. If you have something to say, just text me. I don't want them to know we're acquainted. Understand?!"

"As if I want them to know I know you. Just leave, you ugly thing!" I said, turning my back on him.

"HAHAHAH! Don't finish all the food in the fridge. You're such a pig!" he said before running out. He knows the flying chairs will chase him.

What a jerk. Calling me a pig.

I suddenly held my hips.

"I'm not a pig, right?" I said, touching my arms. "My arms are just right!"

That guy's face is really thick.

It would be satisfying to see Lolong slap him and disappear from the world.

After eating, I left to go to school.

Yes. We don't go together.

Just as he said, I shouldn't acknowledge him.

We treat each other like strangers, or should I say, like we never existed in this world.

At ST. JAMES ACADEMY.

"Really, bes? Does he treat you like that?" Bea couldn't believe what I was telling her about how Daniel and I treat each other at home.

"Yeah, bes. That's how I treat him too. He's so shameless. Gives me the creeps!" I said, punching my pig-shaped bag.

Speaking of a pig, I remembered what that jerk said earlier.

Ugh! So much stress for this morning.

"Yeah, bes. Wasn't he super nice, super cool, and super hot back in high school?" My friend asked as if she couldn't believe my stories.

"Super nice? Hell no! Super hot and super cool? Maybe, but he's also super arrogant. He fits the bill perfectly! Hahaha," I laughed loudly.

"Psh. Then why not break up? Is that a problem, bes?"

"Crazy. It's not like you don't know that our parents don't want us to separate," I said, standing up. "That's why we'll endure for a year before splitting up. Pretend our relationship didn't work. Isn't that fabulous?" I laughed loudly again.

"But it looks like you're taking being married seriously, huh?" She suddenly looked at me. "Because look, you're still wearing your wedding ring! Hahahaha," she laughed loudly.

"Crazy. I just forgot!" I said, taking off the ring and hiding it in my pocket. "We thought Yabs (arrogant guy) and his dad were coming home, so we both wore it."

"Wow. Yabs? You even have an endearing term for him? Hahahaha!" Hold me back. I might really slap this girl.

"Bea?" I called her name. "Yes?" she answered.

"Will you stop or should I drop you off a building?" -___-++

"Uh, well, stop it, bes. You're not fun to joke with," she said, smiling. Oh, she wants to play the scary card.

"I'll step outside for a bit, okay? It's hot." I fanned my face with my hand.

"Go, bes," Bea said, digging into her bag.

And as I stepped out onto the balcony of our room, I saw how my "amazing" husband was flirting.

Ugh, what did I say? Husband? I shivered.

How Daniel was flirting with Julia.

So I shouted at him.

"HEY, MR. DANIEL JOHN FORD PADILLA, YOU'RE MARRIED AND STILL FLIRTING!!!"

DANIEL's POV

This morning, Kathryn is truly irritating. I can't believe we've been stuck together in the same house for a week. Fvcked!

When she came out of her room, her face immediately annoyed me. I don't know why? She's worse than morning sickness whenever I see that pig's face.

Yes, I call her a pig.

She eats like one.

So before leaving the house, I tease her a bit.

I annoy her every day. Just so she has some purpose in our house.

When I arrived at school, I went straight to our room.

Oh yeah, I'm taking up Engineering. As for the pig, she's in Fine Arts.

Actually, I don't even like engineering.

I only enrolled in the same course because of Julia.

She's my girl. Yeah! My one and only girl.

And Kathryn? Whatever. In her face. I'm not interested.

As I entered our room, damn, it's so noisy!

I immediately looked for Julia, my babe.

There she was,

"Hi, Julia babe?" I said as I sat beside her. "How's your day?" I smiled.

"Don't call me babe in the classroom," she softly said. "Someone might hear, and it might get to your wife."

She knows I'm married. But she also knows about the agreement between me and Kath.

"You know we'll separate eventually, right?" I held her hand. "Come outside? Let's talk."

She suddenly removed her hand from mine, so I quickly looked at her.

She avoided my gaze and walked away.

We sat on a bench at school.

"Daniel, didn't I tell you? Before we make it official, you need to separate from Kath first?"

"We'll separate eventually," I said, holding her hand again. "Just give me 1 year, Julia. I promise I'll break up with her."

"Yeah, I'll wait," she sighed. "But please, let's not be in a relationship for now. I don't want to be called a snake or a mistress," she softly said.

"I know, Julia."

"Thanks :)"

There she goes, smiling again. She looks so beautiful when she smiles. I fall in love with her even more.

Julia and I have been in an "MU" (mutual understanding) since high school. But when I was about to confess to her, my parents suddenly forced me to marry Kath. Oh well, that day was the worst day of my life -___-"

We talked about what Julia did last Sunday and also asked how things are at home with Kath. I told her it's like cats and dogs, always fighting.

While we were talking, someone suddenly shouted from the 2nd floor of the Fine Arts building.

"HEY, MR. DANIEL JOHN FORD PADILLA, YOU'RE MARRIED AND STILL FLIRTING!!!" Kath's voice.

Both Julia and I looked up.

And I saw Kath quickly hiding.

"You go ahead, Dan," Julia said, running first.

You're annoying, Kath. You're in trouble at home when I get there. I'll make sure your face gets a slap.

KATHRYN's POV

Why did I shout?

I'm so annoying. Why did I do that?

For sure, I'm in trouble with him later.

He might think I'm jealous.

As if. But wait? What excuse can I give him?

Arrgggh. Why is he flirting there so openly? He's not even ashamed, especially knowing he's married.

Lord, help me! What should I do later?

Oh no! I'm dead. Darn it.

While sitting on the floor due to my sudden stupidity, I didn't realize that our professor was already in front of me.

"Mrs. Padilla!" our Bald Sir shouted.

"Oh, bald!!!" I was surprised.

"What did you say?" Uh oh. Looks like he got mad.

"I said ghost, he he," I scratched my head.

"Get inside the room. We're having class."

I immediately stood up and went inside the room. This bald guy is annoying. He always targets me. I hate bald teachers. Hmmp.

There, he just continued with his lecture. I don't understand what he's saying. Aside from not being interested in what he's saying, I'm also thinking about what excuse I'll give to him later.

I'm dead. Looks like his head will get even bigger.

I hope he just disappears. Like, magically vanishes?

"Hey, what are you laughing about there?" Bea said, smacking me.

"Ouch, bes, that hurt," this girl's smack hurts. "Is it time to go home?" I didn't realize it was dismissal already.

"Been time, you're just spaced out."

"Hahahah! Okay, bes. I'll go first, okay? Bye!" I need to get home early. I don't want Daniel to beat me home.

But, of course, he's already there. Watching basketball again. I can't even watch SpongeBob.

When I got home, Daniel wasn't there yet. Yesss!

But there's a car parked outside.

It's Dad's car, what does Dad need now?

I quickly entered the house.

"Good pm, Dad?" I said, kissing Dad on the cheek.

"Oh, Kath, where's Daniel? Didn't you come home together?" As if we'd ever go home together. We didn't even enter school together.

"Ah no, Dad. He still has something to do, so I came home first," I put my things on the chair. "Have you eaten, Dad?"

"Yes, my child. I just came here to check if your bills are paid," he showed me the bills.

I heard Daniel's car arriving.

There he goes, being dramatic again.

"HEY KATHRYN, WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE IS THIS--" he suddenly cut himself off, "Hello, Dad. Have you been waiting long?" Right? He's quite the actor when faced with his father. The troublemaker turns into an obedient lamb.

"Dad, is there a problem between you and Kath?" Papa asked.

"Problem? None at all," he approached me and put his arm around me, "Kath and I get along well. We never argue, right, Kath?"

The trickster flashed a big smile. Truly the best actor.

"Oh, yes, Dad. Dan and I never argue. hehehe," I played along.

"Ah, okay. I thought you two were having a disagreement. You know I don't want you to fight. I'll be going now. Take care, both of you."

"Sure, Dad. Take care too," Daniel and I said.

When Papa left,

"You're really disgusting. Next time, don't let him hug you!!!" This guy is unbelievable.

"Hey, Mr. Arrogant! Did I ask you to hug me? You should be the one putting your arm around me," I shouted at him before entering the room.

"HEY, DO YOU THINK YOU FORGOT WHAT YOU DID TO ME EARLIER? I WAS EMBARRASSED IN FRONT OF JULIA," I felt his anger.

I swallowed hard.

Help, Mom.

"I don't know about you," I said, closing the door.

"YOU'LL PAY LATER!" Pay with your face.

*********

KATHRYN's POV

Life is indeed like Life-it feels great to wash the dishes, promise.

Smacking Daniel with the plates I'm washing feels tempting.

This is what he meant by making me pay.

He made me wash the dishes.

Isn't that incredible? I'm paying my dues, right?"

We don't have a helper because they want Daniel and me to learn household chores.

They say we should cooperate.

Well, we do cooperate.

We join forces in creating a mess.

But when it comes to cleaning up, I'm on my own. The arrogant one doesn't help.

He can't even sweep. Always relying on me.

Woohh. What a Great Life. Good luck, Kath. You can do it! Fighting.

I sigh.

"Hey, babs, are you done there?" Does it look like I'm finished washing?

Oh, don't be surprised that he calls me that.

It's not an endearment. Okay?

It's an insult.

BABS short for PIG.

How sweet my husband is, right? Folding his face ten times would be satisfying.

"You can see I'm not done yet, right?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Let's clear things up, Kath," he faced me.

"I don't like what you did at school earlier. I was embarrassed in front of Julia," here we go again. Ugh.

I put down the plate before speaking, "Look, Daniel. I already apologized, right? I'm paying for my mistake by washing the dishes. What else do you want me to do? Kneel in front of you? Screw you," it's irritating to repeat.

"You're just too meddling! Remember, we're only married on paper. We don't have any emotional attachment!"

"I know. Don't worry; it won't happen again. Besides, if you want to flirt, do it in secret. Someone might see you and tell Dad!"

"Tell Dad!" he said sarcastically, "Maybe you're just jealous," he grinned.

"Screw you, jealous your face!" I raised an eyebrow, "I thought only your car tires were thick. Your face is too!" I put down the plate and went to the living room.

"Hahahahah! Good thing we're understanding each other!" Screw you. Such nerve.

Damn it, Dre. This Daniel is really getting on my nerves.

Argh. It's annoying, damn his face.

Maybe when God distributed thick-faced traits, he caught them all! Greedy. Didn't share.

His cellphone suddenly rang.

"Hello... oh, Julia?... No, I'm not busy..." the jerk left the house. As if I would listen to their conversation.

Julia Julia. Psh! You and your Julia can go together.

I'll just watch.

I keep changing TV channels.

Argh! It's boring! Nothing to watch. I suddenly looked at the wall clock on the wall.

Of course, Kath. It's a wall clock, it's obviously on the wall. Are you dumb?!

I'm so stressed that I'm arguing with myself, hahaha.

It's 07:30.

Princess and I time.

I switched the TV to channel 2.

"Why is the lead actress in Princess and I so pretty?" I talk to myself, "We're both pretty with bangs. Hahaha, Mikay is really beautiful."

Oh no, it's over already. Annoying.

I was still enjoying watching Mikay's bangs. Hahaha.

I was about to change the channel again, but the arrogant one suddenly grabbed the TV remote.

"Hey, what's up? I'm watching!" I immediately grabbed the remote and changed the channel to SpongeBob.

"Hahah. Spongebob is so cute!"

"Psh. What's cute about that? Give me the remote," he grabbed the remote again and changed it, "Watch Batman instead. That's cool," he laughed.

"What's cool about that? Among all the superheroes, Batman is the weakest!" he stopped laughing and looked at me.

"And why is that?"

Hahaha, he's angry. He loves that Batman guy. His room is full of Batman stuff and collectibles.

"Because among all the superheroes, he's the only one who doesn't fly. Weak, right? Hahaha," I teased him.

"Feeling like Spongebob, aren't you dumb?" What?

"And why did you say that?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Of course. Where else can you find a sponge that cooks? Dumb, right? Hahaha," he laughed loudly.

"Argh. You're so annoying, arrogant one!" I just pulled my hair, "And that Batman of yours is dumb too!" I retaliated.

"And why is he dumb, huh?!"

"Just look at how he wears his underpants. The pants come before the underwear! Bwahahahah," I laughed out loud.

Hahaha. You think you're the only one good at annoying.

In your face, Daniel. Take that, bwahahaha.

"I don't know about you. You're ugly!" he hit me with a pillow.

"Ouch, Daniel, it hurts. Hey!" he kept hitting me with the monkey pillow.

"Fine, you want it like this!" I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife.

"I'm going to kill you!"

I stabbed him several times with the knife. Bwahahaha.

There, he's dead. I don't have an arrogant husband anymore.

Yeah. I'm free.

Joke. I didn't stab him. I'm not bad enough to kill this ant. I don't want my hands stained with filth.

"Hey, snap out of it, and what are you laughing about? Are you crazy?!" he hit me again with the monkey pillow.

"I don't know about you!" I pulled his ear.

"Ouch! You're really a pig!"

I was about to run into the room. But someone suddenly called our names with a loud voice.

"KATH, DANIEL, WHAT ARE YOU BOTH DOING!!!!!" Damn it again.
