Chapter 1
College life is fun, its exciting, scary and, oh before, I forgot it's sometimes boring. Yes, it bores me to death and I don't know what keeps me going to school aside from my best friend. My name is Neeron Seo Campbel. I'm half American, one fourth Filipino and one fourth Korean. My mom is half Filipino and half Korean, so obviously, my dad is pure American. I don't know how they met and I can sense that if I did ask they would just go cringe, so I would rather not to. I prefer to be alone or have one or two companions, but I'm not introverted. I like going out but feel too lazy to move and have a walk around the neighborhood and, plus, I might see my freakishly handsome childhood friend slush (/) enemy slush(/) long time crush Lance Yvo Moore, this huge devil is not only handsome but also a topnotch at school, so many girls drooling over him. But NOT ME. I swear I'm not included. He's dating the college Queen Bee and is getting a lot more attention from the public. I wonder sometimes how it feels to date him, to hold his hands, to hug and to kiss and to..... Oh Holy Marmelade!! Not again !!!!!. I feel frustrated just thinking of him.
*Knock on door*
" Yes?!" - I shouted. That's for them to know that I'm awake and not ready to go outside the world.
"Honey, your breakfast is ready." - Mom said while opening the door.
"Why are you still here? And why are you not preparing for school?" - She said while raising one of her eyebrows at me and looking at me like I was in a big mess.
"Uhm, I just don't feel like moving-" Before I could finish, my mom interrupted me.
"In short, you're just lazy" - she said, giving me a tired look.
"Okkkaaaaay I'm getting up mom.. I will be down in 5 mins. I promise" - While raising my right hand.
My mom smiled at me and nodded. She may be like that, but that's what I love about her. She's the sweetest and coolest mom here on earth. I sounded like a baby at 21 years old. But I don't care. I got up and started before mom got up again and started nagging. As I checked all of my clothes I saw no difference. I see T-shirts and jackets, different colors, that's it . I prefer this kind of thing. simple and not complicated. I don't like to complicate things.
I went straight to the dining room where I could see Mom, dad, my 3 brothers and the son of Satan. Wait what? Yvo is here? What is he doing here? That annoying smile he wears whenever we see each other is so getting on my nerves. I would love to pluck those beautiful green eyes and sell them on the black market.
"Hey Neer! long time no see! Come join us for breakfast" - Yvo said while grinning at me.
" Oh! Hi Son of Satan * I murmured* Yvo! I would love to join all of you for breakfast, but sadly, I have to go to university. I'm getting late and need to run fast. So enjoy and eat lavishly *wink* - I saw him grinning. I knew he would grin at me devilishly.
"Darling, you need to at least eat before going out" - My dad says.
"Neer, why are you so in a hurry? I'm not going to eat you nor the professor in your class. A little late wont hurt you." - Said Yvo while looking at me intently, the grinding banished and a serious look on his face was .....
"Arrrrrgggghh!!! Why is he looking so serious and so handsome? He is even more manly" - My brain is having a hard time fixing its data.
"Fine fine, I'll eat with you guys. Just don't give me that look as if I'm going out with a boyfriend." - I said
My brothers are giving me a look at how it could kill even an insect.
"What?" - I asked with an annoying look on my face.
"Neer, you're not really going out with some dude, are you?" - Asked by Anthony, my super strict eldest brother.
"Why can't she? She's already 21 years old and ready to wed anytime?" - Said Zac, my 2nd brother and the most naughty of all brothers I have.
[Shouts in Chorus]
"NO!!"
I was startled by them shouting at Zac .. and I was even shocked at Yvo, who shouted also.
"HAHAHAHAHHAHA!! That's how you do it! I'm not going to lie, everyone here is funny. I was just kidding, yet you guys shouted at me like you are in a choir in very synchronized voices.. Mostly you Yvo" - said Zac, while looking at Yvo playfully.
I looked at Yvo with a very big question mark on my face.
" I bet this devil is plotting something against me. I think I just have to wait at Scholl and see what happens."
"Uhm, guys, I need to go. Thank you. Mom dad Bye! Love you" - I said while waving at them.
As I walked along the pavements I just realized that I love having breakfast with them, especially with ..... "Wooaaaahh Wwwwoooaah !! are you still thinking of that muscle head? Neer! Wake up!! Don't be swayed by his charm, he is an enemy." I don't know why I keep thinking about that man.
*buzzz* *buzzz*
I checked my pocket as I felt my phone vibrate, and saw that there was a message coming from that son of Satan.
SON OF SATAN
"Neer, are you ignoring this handsome face?"
NEER
" Nope, And are you handsome?"
SON OF SATAN
"And why is my name on your phone SON OF SATAN?"
NEER
"Wait? Huh? How did you know about it? HAHAHAHA"
SON OF SATAN
" Will you change that name? or else .."
I felt a surge of negative energy coming from my phone. Good universe. I think something's gonna happen really bad if I don't change the name on my phone right now. As I'm typing to my contacts to change his name, another vibrate comes on.
SON OF SATAN
"not replying? I can see you from where I am now"
I looked around and saw a Porsche 911 GTS. And I knew from where I was standing that it was Yvo's car. So I messaged him.
NEER
"I have changed it already."
I changed it to *MY BELOVED YVO* as a joke on him.
MY BELOVED YVO
"Good, never change that again."
Oh my f*****g fart head! That was not my intention.
NEER
"Yvo, I'm just kidding .. Gonna change it to your real name though."
MY BELOVED YVO
"No. That stays as it is."
Oh s**t, this is so messed up. What if one of my classmates sees this? or my best friend Caithline? Or even worse, what if he screenshots it and posted it on i********: or let my brothers sees it?. What should I do?
*BEEEEP!*
I jumped out of shock. I looked at the car that had horns on me. I gave the driver a displeased look and walked away. My heartbeat was now steady, I hurriedly walked away and found that I was already at the gate of our school, The Stellar University. As I walked by, I heard the school bell ring. That means that the class will start soon. So I decided to run as fast as I could just so not to be late.
My phone keeps vibrating as I try to listen to my professor's lecture. But it kept bugging me for like 1 hour straight, so I stood up and excused myself from the class and said that I had to take this important call. I went to the comfort room so that I could freely check all the notifications and as I checked and read all of them, I just wanted to explode with so much anger.
A lot of messages are bombarding my inbox saying "b***h! YVO IS FOR QUEEN NOT TRASH LIKE YOU"., and as expected, I also received a message from my brothers saying "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS? EXPLAIN LATER." you guys know who that person is ... Yes, that is my brother Anthony.
"What the hell, Yvo? I will wring your precious neck when I see you." - I said in anger.
I was about to get out of the cubicle when I heard the girls from other block /section trash talk about me. not knowing that I was there, of course.
" I will slap that weirdo really hard when I see her. Does she really think Errissa would be bothered by her? flirting with Yvo?" - Said the girl with a husky voice.
"You bet!, I want to splash her face with a bottle of urine not water. She deserves this." - said the other girl.
I can't help but sigh, I am so done.
I got out of the cubicle and they were shocked as they looked at me. I just gave them a cold look. Nope, no one's gonna mess with Neero. A black belt in jujitsu and Taekwondo. I have trained since I was a child so that I could defend myself in the future without the help of my brothers. I walked right and passed through them without giving them a second look.
I had thought of the worse case scenario that if any of them grabbed my hair or grab my shirt I will be throwing that person in the window of the comfort room. but none of it happened. so I went to my class immediately. But another *buzz* came up.. I'll check that later.
I listened to the lecture and focused more. I don't know what's happening to my brain cells. I just can't seem to concentrate right now because of what happened. If I hadn't joked at him, I would have been peaceful right this very moment. My head is throbbing and I can feel my blood pressure rising high.
*poke* *poke*
I take a look at the person who keeps poking me. It's Lara, my best friend. Maybe she saw that I was distracted by what was happening. I took a deep sigh and smiled at her.
"We'll talk later after the class gal" - She said while smiling at me warmly.
That's what I like about her. I don't need to tell her if something's bothering me or I have a problem because she can just sense it. We're like twins, we have this attachment to each other or so-called bond that none of them can break.
*Diiiiiiiiing " The class ended.
*poke*
"Let's go to the rooftop" - She said and led the way to the floor.
As we go out, everyone is looking at us, especially me. Maybe they have already read the post by this f*****g guy. I almost forgot to check my phone.. And I saw "MY BELOVED YVO" on the notify. I opened the message and read it.
MY BELOVED YVO
"Are you okay?"
"Haah!! So now you're concerned you idiot."
NEER
"yep."
I was about to put my phone in my pocket when it rang.
"What?" - I answered.
"I just want to hear your voice" - Yvo said. I heard in the back a laughing sound.
"Oh you wanna hear my voice? Okay. are you done?" - I answered coldly. And after that, the call ended.
"Who was that?" - Lara asked.
"Son of Satan , the reason why I'm having a bad day already."
I don't have the energy to argue or play with him. He's just doing it out of boredom anyway. He'll stop eventually.
"Oh you mean Yvo, one of the most popular handsome guys here in Stellar? correct?" - she said like it was a fact not a question.
" Do you fantasize about him as well? " - I asked, just curious.
"No, I like your brother more" - She said with sparkling eyes.
"Who? Anthony, Zac or Theo?" - I questioned her.
" Theo, the silent one." - She answered dreamily.
Never did I imagine that she would like Theo. Theo is handsome, yes, but he is so quiet and reserved that you'll think of him as a weirdo or something a little bit off. But one thing I like Theo is that he is easy to talk to..
" Oh Theo, well, good luck with that" - I said.
" Anyways gal, why did Yvo post a screenshot coming from you? take a look at this, so many hate comments" - She said a little bit worried.
"I'm not sure, maybe he really wants to tease me and get in a fight. Now I have to settle this bullshit or else I'll be in guidance everyday for breaking their faces." - I said while looking at the phone.
Everyday will be a great day for that i***t, and a messed-up day for me.
