My Miss Nobody

6. The Next Day

GENEVIEVE’S POINT OF VIEW

I woke up this morning feeling my head so heavy as well as my chest. I can’t still swallow the fact that Marcus is in love with my best friend and what’s worst is that I already promised Marcus that I will help him to get closer with Harmony and I cannot bail that promise with him. I just shake my head with all that thoughts and leave my bed to get ready for another day as a student. After I am done preparing myself, I head towards our kitchen and eat my breakfast. As I arrived in our dining area, I never thought that my parents are still here. Usually, at this time, they are already in our company. 

“Hey! Good morning my daughter. How’s your sleep?” My mom greeted me as I approached them. I kissed her cheeks first before going towards my father and greet him as well. 

“Good morning too mom, and dad. I slept well how about you?” I asked them as I sit beside my mom.

“We slept well too, by the way, why didn’t you head back to the dinner last night?” My mom asked me as I started to eat.

“Ahm, I suddenly kind of feel unwell last night so I head back to my room and take a rest. I am so sorry for not telling you about it and bailing the dinner last night.” I said while smiling at her.

“We thought that you were with Marcus last night but when he came back to the dining area, he told me that he cannot find you anywhere. Please Genevieve don’t do that again, it is so embarrassing.” My father said.

“Yes dad, I am so sorry it won’t happen again,” I said and he just nods at me before wiping his mouth and standing up from his seat.

“Jeannette let’s go, we still have a meeting with Mr. Salazar at 8:00 in this morning.” My dad said to my mom.

“Okay, just wait for me in the car I will just go get my bag in our room.” My mom said and my dad just nod at her before walking towards our house’s lobby. 

“Take care on your way to the university okay?” My mom said as she stands up from her seat and kissed me on my forehead.

“Yes mom, you too please take care,” I said and she just smiled at me before heading towards their room. After that, I just finished eating my breakfast before heading back to my room to get my bag and head towards the lobby of our house, and wait for my driver.

“Good morning Ms. Genevieve, the car is ready.” My driver said so I just nod at him before standing up from the couch and follows him towards the car. While we are on our way to the university, I am just playing music on my phone and scrolling on my social media account. 

“Ms. Genevieve, is that Ms. Harmony?” My driver said while looking at the side of the road which made me look at where he is looking. 

“Yeah,” I said nonchalantly before looking back at my phone. 

“Aren’t you going to ask her to ride with us?” My driver asked me but I didn’t answer him. I just continue scrolling on my social media account. While I am busy on my phone, the guilt that I am feeling after passing by, by my best friend is slowly consuming me. Geez! Why can’t I get mad at her even just for a day?!

“Please turn back and pick Harmony up,” I said after putting back my phone inside my pocket. My driver just nods at me before pulling back the car and driving back to where Harmony is. 

“Harmony! Good morning!” I greeted her as we stopped beside her. Harmony just looked at me with a surprise look on her face before smiling at me so sweetly.

“Good morning too, Genevieve.” Harmony said while smiling at me innocently. While I am looking at her, this was the very first time I am hoping that I am someone else. What’s with Harmony that I don’t have? I know that Harmony is so smart but I am smart too! Harmony is also pretty, so am I so what’s with her that I didn’t have?

“Ahm, Genevieve is there something on my face?” I only came back to my senses when Harmony speaks. I didn’t notice that I am already in deep thought and staring at her.

“Ah, nothing, nothing, by the way, come inside now and let’s go to the university together okay?” I said and she just nods at me while scratching her head. I can feel that Harmony is still shy to ride with me, but she doesn’t have to, since she is my best friend, since she is my best friend. Yeah, that is the reason why I cannot get mad at her it is because she is my best friend.

“Thank you, Genevieve, I already saw your car pass by me so I thought you are already in the university but then I saw your coming driving back here. Thank you.” Harmony said as she heads inside the car. After hearing what she told me, I immediately felt so embarrassed and ashamed to myself because I was about to ruin my precious friendship with Harmony just because of a guy!

“I am so sorry Harmony but, ahm let’s just talk about this later okay?” I said and she just nods at me while smiling so I just smiled back at her before grabbing her hands and squeezing them tightly.
