CHAPTER 13
I rolled my eyes again, especially when I saw this guy's face. He really loves it when I'm always frowning.
When I stare at him, he avoids my gaze, but you can see the corners of his lips lifting, trying to hide a smile.
He's really happy to see me follow his wishes, like wearing this rash guard that makes me look like a spring roll because it's so tight.
"Hi sexy!" I heard a guy whistling at one of my classmates. If I was wearing a bikini, someone would definitely be doing that to me, calling me sexy.
I am sexy, right?
I ran my hand over my body, wrapped up like a spring roll wrapper, or rather, fabric, and I just stomped my foot in frustration at my situation.
But the other one just kept smiling.
He was sitting on the sand, and so was I, but I didn't sit next to him because even the perfume he used, I didn't want to smell because of my anger at him.
He pouted and pointed for me to sit next to him, but I just winked and rolled my eyes. I turned my attention back to watching my other classmates playing volleyball. I'll join their games later or swim in the sea because I'm still calming myself down, or my high blood pressure, because of my anger at Ryker.
I heard him laugh, and I knew it was for me. You're really going to get it from me later, Ryker Matt Sullivaño.
"Go! Go, you witch… pass the ball!" I cheered for Rowela, who was now serving the ball to the other side.
It's so nice to watch them play ball while I'm just here in my position, eating snacks.
They'll be hungry later, but I'm full, full of… just snacks.
"Can I have some?" I was surprised when Sebastian suddenly appeared behind me and sat next to me on the sand.
Gosh! He looks so handsome, especially when he's wearing a white beach polo, my grandpa, I mean, Sebastian.
"Y-yeah yeah sure, h-here you go," damn, why am I stuttering with just a simple word? I get so nervous when he's close to me.
Can you handle this, Aubree Lynn?
"You're so cute, always, especially when you blush," he said, laughing, so I was surprised. My cheeks are already red, for sure, because I could feel them getting hot.
I pouted, "You are too! You're cute and handsome," I said, sounding cute. Damn, I'm still chasing after Sebastian's compliment.
"Thank you and welcome," he said.
I heard him laugh again, so I just looked down and stared at the chips in my hand. My cheeks are definitely red, for sure.
Since the others finished playing, I joined the others who hadn't played yet before I went swimming in the sea.
Girls versus boys now. Of course, Ryker and Sebastian are on the other side. They're good, but if they lose, then the girls win. I just hope they're not stingy, and we should be the ones who win this game.
"Go girls! Fight for our country, except for Aubree Lynn, she's different!" Rowela shouted, so I glared at her.
"You're going to get it from me later, you witch!" I shouted.
"If you remember," she said and laughed. She's such a b***h.
I ignored her and concentrated on what I was doing.
I looked at Sebastian, and he's fine, he's just chilling in the game, while this one, none other than Ryker, you know he's going to do something crazy again.
I'm already envious of my classmates who are flaunting their bikinis, while here I am, about to be fried from the sweat because of the rash guard I'm wearing, and we haven't even gone swimming in the sea yet. I'm getting hot and sweaty, and I really want to take this off if it weren't for the two pairs of eyes that are always watching me. Oh, well, I'm just going to change now.
Because I heard him laugh, I turned to him again and glared at him sharply. "What's with the smirk?" I asked when we got close to the ring.
"Nothing, I'm just enjoying seeing you as a bean sprout spring roll." He said and laughed.
"You're crazy, Ryker! You're the Shanghai spring roll!"
"At least I'm a handsome Shanghai."
"I don't know about you! Be quiet there if you don't want me to throw the ball at you."
"Don't throw the ball you're holding at me, because all I want you to throw at me are those two cocomelons you have on your chest, Aubree." He said in a low voice and laughed loudly.
The students and friends were probably wondering, so they were looking at us.
I smirked, but it didn't reach my ears, "Nothing guys, this guy we're with is just crazy, his name is Ryker Matt Sullivaño." I said.
"Awee, the boss is showing his feelings!" Jurald teased.
"Just admit it sometimes, he might get ahead of you!" I heard one of them say, they're really crazy.
Wait! Are they referring to me, or maybe someone else? Are you stupid, Aubree Lynn.
"Watch out Aubree…." Janice shouted, and in a flash, I suddenly imagined a lot of stars on my head, damn.
"Are you okay?"
"Okay ka lang?" I heard concerned voices.
I was lying on the sand, and because of their concern, I slowly opened my eyes. I saw them looking down at me with concerned faces.
So I went ahead and thought of something ridiculous.
"Are you okay, Aubree Lynn?"
"Who are you?" I asked, so they were surprised.
"Are you okay? Wait? You only got hit in the forehead once with the ball, and it wasn't that strong, you already have amnesia?" Ryker said, smirking. I furrowed my brow even more.
"Who are you? I don't know you? Are we friends?" Go Aubree, more drama.
"f**k! Let's take this one to the mental ward, she doesn't remember us."
Because of what he said about the mental ward, I immediately sat up and was about to grab his shirt, but he immediately moved away from me.
"You’re such a jerk, you never know what’s called drama. That means you’re going along with the script. I hate you!" I shouted at him because he ruined my imagination, and the jerk just moved away from me, and the other classmates just laughed, while others shook their heads.
"Are you okay?" At least my crush is always concerned about me, but the other one, there he is, always raising my blood pressure. Tsk.
"Yes, thank you." I thanked him because he helped me stand up.
Because of the fatigue, we went back to the gazebo to have a snack.
I realized something.
It's enjoyable when you give yourself some freedom. Even for a day, you don't think about school papers, schoolwork, or other work loads in your life.
Sometimes, you just need to unwind, it doesn't mean you unwind in the most famous place, eat expensive food, especially if your wallet is empty, but even just at home, as long as you don't think about the word work or school, and enjoy it with your family or friends.
Talking and teasing on our first day at this resort, and it was really worth it, the farewell party of my batchmates. This will be a memory for sure, and if given the chance, we'll meet again at the reunion.
"Goodnight everyone… "
We all said goodbye to go to sleep, it was only eight o'clock in the evening, but we were supposed to be in our rooms because we had somewhere to go tomorrow, just here in Cebu.
No alcohol for now, they said, because they might get drunk and wake up late the next day.
It's true, whoever thought of this idea, because if we prioritized alcohol, we would definitely be left behind on the trip, those who have a hangover or wake up late, and it would be a waste of going here if we didn't enjoy it.
They went ahead to their respective rooms, so I was left in the kitchen, because I can't sleep if I don't drink at least milk, so I made myself some.
While sitting at the bar counter, I heard the sound of slippers and when he turned on the lights in the whole kitchen, I just smiled knowing who it was.
"Hi!"
"Hi Sebastian, was I loud that's why you're here?" I asked with a smile.
"No, I'm just getting some water from the fridge, my tumbler is empty," he said. I nodded and smiled, and I thought after he put water in his container, he would leave, but he sat down on the chair on the other side next to me.
"Did you enjoy it here?"
"I enjoyed it so much, especially since we're all together, batchmates," especially you, I wanted to add, but I just stopped my mouth.
"That's good to hear that you enjoyed it, and then we have tomorrow to enjoy," he said seriously.
"That's right, it's worth crying to my mom because she wouldn't let me go because it's Cebu, but she couldn't do anything because I wanted to," I said with a smile.
"As for me, if Ryker hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have gone," because I was the one who was forcing that jerk to go with you, thank goodness he followed.
I was going to tell him that I was the reason, but I stopped my mouth again, maybe he would tease me and have many questions, I'm not ready to blush yet.
"Of course, Ryker took you so he has someone to carry his bag."
"Oh! I heard that, you two gossiped about me while I wasn't around, huh!" I just closed my eyes in annoyance because this guy is really a spoiler. Suddenly appearing.
"That's not gossip, it's just the truth we're talking about, and then why are you here, shouldn't you be asleep!" This Sullivaño surname is really a spoiler.
"Because I can't sleep because I feel like you're going to finish the milk I bought."
"You're crazy, what the… that's my milk! Make yourself some if you want!" I said to him. This guy really makes my blood pressure rise all day.
"Nah… your milk is tastier… the one you made," he said with a mischievous laugh. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
"This friend of yours, Sebastian, is really crazy, why are you still friends with him." But instead of defending me, he just laughed at what I said, then messed up my hair. These two are really crazy. They need to be repaired.
"I'm going to sleep and my blood pressure might rise because of this guy." I said goodbye to Sebastian. "Wash that, you finished it, so wash the glass I used to make it," I added.
"Yes ma'am!" he said, and I just shook my head.
I didn't wait for him to finish washing the glass and left them to go to the guest room to sleep.
I thought Sebastian would wait for his best friend, but he also left the kitchen and went with me.
"Goodnight Aubree…" I smiled at Sebastian when he took me to the girls' guest room.
"Goodnight Sebas—" I suddenly blushed when he held my cheek and kissed me on the forehead. I cleared my throat before speaking. "G-goodnight Sebastian," I said, almost unable to look at him, though it wasn't bright in all our rooms, and only the dim light in the living room was lit.
He let me go in first, and I followed. As I opened the girls' guest room, everyone was asleep, probably because they were tired from the whole day's activities, so they fell asleep immediately, and some of my classmates were still snoring.
Only the lampshade was lit in our room.
I didn't leave yet and was still standing at the door because of what Sebastian did, kissing me on the forehead. My heart is happy.
After a while, I heard a soft knock, and I knew it was at our door. My smile widened, maybe it was Sebastian again, and he wanted to kiss me on the… lips? Gosh…
But I thought it was a person who would greet me when I opened the door, but I was wrong, it was just Ryker.
I loosened the door and only my head came out.
"What?"
But instead of answering me, he grabbed the back of my neck and without a word, kissed me… on the… lips.
"Goodnight… " he said and left me at the door without a word, gaping and stunned.
What the…
He kissed me again…
