Marga, Warren and Georgina are inside the dining room to eat their dinner but all their attention glued to her. Since Georgina came out to her room and join them to eat, she keep hitting her head on the table like a crazy one. She can't think anything but what happened before in the rooftop. It didn't bother Jaceriel but she still has a reputation to keep so, without a word she tried to run after the person who seen them but couldn't get a hold of it. Until now, those thoughts and question comes inside her mind.
On the other side, Marga and Warren look with each other with question mark on their eyes but no one knows what's going on.
"Gina, what happened to you? It looks like someone possessed you." Warren dared to ask her. "Big sis Marga, fon't you know what happened?" He turn to Marga who's in front of them.
"Who knows? She didn't attend any of our class before, maybe in the middle of their date..." She chortled out.
Georgina hit her head hard on the table and turn to left side with lifeless gaze.
"Date with whom? Big bro Van again? I thought the two of you already broke up?"
"There's a chance but you're big sister has a new boyfriend..."
Georgina frown and slam both hands on the table grit her teeth. "Can't you stop blurting out those peoples name? It's fucking annoying. I don't want to eat anymore."
She stand up that made the two jaw drop in awe. With a heavy stomp, she walk upstairs to reach her room. A deep sigh escape her mouth as soon as she fall down with her stomach facing the bed. She didn't bother to open the lights rather bury her face on the pillow out of frustrartion. Only the moonlight from outside came through the window.
In the middle of the long silence, all of a sudden her phone rings. She didn't look who's calling and answer it with close eyes—not moving an inch.
"Who's this?"
"Are you sleeping already Ms. President? It's me Joshua..."
"Hmmm... What is it?"
"You didn't attend the Student Council meeting before and I didn't know why you ditch the class for the first time."
"Spill the beans Josh, I'm kinda tired now."
"I just want to inform you about what we'd discussed before, it's about the upcoming Senior Camp. Many students from our grade requested, within this week or next week, we all agreed to it without your opinion. I already wrote a letter of approval for the Principal consent, I left it on your table. Did you see it?" He asked.
"Sorry, I went home after class. I'll take care of it tomorrow."
"A-ah... There's a problem in regards of it. The SC Office doorknob has been destroyed by someone, maybe the lower grade levels fault."
She rolled over and look at the time through her phone. It's already 7:23 p.m. in the evening. The main gate will close around 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. if she want to come, there's still almost two to three hours left. During this hour, there's still students left inside the school, especially those who have a club activities. If she didn't come and fix everything tomorrow maybe, someone will come and ruin or sneak around to get some important files there. Even though she's been respected as a Student Council President there are still many students who want to get back at her.
"Fine. I'll take a look at it today before the main gate close."
"H-huh? It's already dark outside..."
"I'll be fine alone besides we can't let some important files left on the table. Don't worry, see you tomorrow." She ended the call.
Georgina stand up and fix herself, wears a black hoodied jacket since this past few days the weather seems colder every night than morning. After a few minutes, she walk downstair and saw both Marga and Warren in the living room watching a drama series. They look at her as she walk pass by them without any single word.
"Hey 'couz, where are you going in this hour?" Marga asked, looks at her with question mark. She look towards Warren but he's giving the same look.
"I'll be back, don't forget to lock the door if you go upstairs."
*****
*St. Luke High School*
It takes 20 minutes ride via cab when she reach the school grounds. The guard who's in the guard post greet her as soon as she walk inside. She only greeted back and go inside the main building. On the way, she saw the lights from other club rooms on the ground floor are still open. Some students walk inside or outside with a tumbler or paper on their hands but she ignore it—continue to walk to 2nd floor where the Student Council Office resides.
Compare to the ground floor where the hallway lights are still on, here in second floor there's no lights. It's quite dark but still because of the moonlight from outside she can see everything.
In front of the SC Office, she's about to open the door but it's half open. Like outside, the room is dark too. The aircon is open, as well as the window. She heard a rustle sound as the wind blows hard from outside—using her left hand, she turn on the lights and saw an unexpected scene. The room is a total mess. Papers scatters around, those books on the shelves falls down and there's even a vandalism on the meeting table, her table and on the walls. She massage her temple as she look around. She stride towards her table and saw the word, 'Annoying President,' it's written using a red paint.
"Those fools..."
"Is it fun to be a President?" She almost jump in shock when a voice came out from behind. As soon as she turn around, Giovanni Javier welcomes her.
It's bright and they can saw each other well. For a few seconds they look at each other but in the end she surrender and glance away. Until now, the scene from before came to her mind.
"W-what are you doing here?" She asked and starts to picks up the scattered paper on the floor.
"It's not necessary to tell you the main reason,"
"Y-yeah, I guess so..." She left out a force laugh.
"I can't imagine many people hates you here, bitter, annoying, boastful, heartless and merciless... It's not even a good word to describe a highly praised person like you." He chuckle as he step inside, looks around the room.
No one dared to talk after what he said. The atmosphere, though it's quite you can still feel the tension, a silent tension. Georgina continue to clean up the area, picks both paper and books and arrange it through its designated place. She wait for him to go outside but rather feel the intense gaze he's been giving since before.
"Did you talk with your mother?" He broke the silence.
"N-no..."
"I'm telling you this Gia, if you don't want me to hurt you furthermore... Please, talk to your family and make them stop. I don't know the deal with you and never wish to meddle with it but I'm out of your life since you left. What more they want from us?" He said, try to not get mad again.
Georgina tighten the grip on the paper until it gets crumple. Without any hesitation, she stand up and face him with a serious stare. She knows there's nothing wrong on what he said but even now, she can't accept the fact how he push her away—through his past, present or future. It's as if Georgina Alvarez never walk and stop by in his life.
"You don't need to worry, if what you said is all right then, she'll come to make a scene besides her happiness is my sadness. Despite of it, whether you accept my apology or not is fine but I still want to say sorry. I'll take full responsibility of her attitude towards your family affair."
He chuckled and walk towards her. "Apology? Responsibility? You're making me laugh Gia." He stop in front of her, caress her left cheek.
"W-what..."
"I won't accept your apology nor your family. Do you know how many times my parents shred tears and beg other people just to save the small business they've build from hardwork? While your busy hiding, my family face a chaos we don't know how to fix," both eyes widened on what he said. She look at him full of confusion.
"W-what? Y-you... Even after I'm gone?"
"What's with the shock face Gia? You should know it better than me besides I received a lot of threats from your mother..."
Those words make her jaw drop as she step backward. Both hands and knees trembles, it made her fall down on the ground. There are many thoughts runs on her mind, questions seeks for an answer and doubts that wants to be clear. Continuous tears falls down from both eyes as the scene from before came into her mind. It's her last conversation to her mother after she goes back to states like what she wanted.
*1 year and 10 months ago*
"On regards of what we talked about before Gina, what's your answer?"
"Tsk. Promise me one thing then, stay away from Giovanni Javier and his family."
"It's him again. Do you know that man is lying to you all this time but your a naive to not notice it,"
"Stop talking and tell me if you will accept my decision,"
"Georgina don't trust him,"
"I'll go, this talk is non-sense from the start."
"As a mother I'm concern for your future."
"Don't talk to me ever ag—"
"Hello. Mr. San, did you get the document? It's the Javier leather company, right? Yeah, make sure to get ever—"
Georgina snatch the phone to her mother and end the call without hesitation looks at her with furious fierce eyes.
"I'll go back to States so, stop bothering them. It's my only condition."
"Deal. Go back and left this country without a trace."
*End of Flashback*
"T-this... A-are you sure on what you are say—"
"I'm not like you who used on lying everytime your mouth runs. Don't even cry in front of me, it won't work."
"V-van... T-this... I'm... A-ah..." She find a right words to say but she can't think on anything.
"I don't know what did I do wrong. I don't know why I become a madman and grow full of hatred and regret."
She clench both fist, head bows down. "I-I'm sorry..."
"Too late Georgina,"
After he say those words he storm out the room leave Georgina alone while who burst out crying like a child.
