"I'll buy it/ I'll buy it,"
Both of them look at each other in disbelief, but the man gives a playful smile as she turns to the woman again, using his charm alone that made Georgina chuckle and pull her sarcastic self.
"I'll buy it since I came first than him." She said in a stern tone in front of the woman.
"O-okay,"
"Give the necklace to me, Miss beautiful. I came first than her..." He said with a smile.
"A-ah... I don't know who gets here first, but..."
"Give it to me/ Give the necklace to me."
Georgina raises her eyebrows in annoyance. The people around notice the tension between them but neither one get bother about it. It's her first time to be attracted to something but someone tries to steal it.
"A-ahm... Who will buy it?" The woman asked.
"I'll buy it/ Give it to me." The two look at her at the same time.
But for the nth time they say a word at the same time again. She clenches both fists to calm herself, but the man tries to sweet talk the woman. Her madness and annoyance reach its limit and slam both palms on the counter. Those people near them glance in their direction—murmurs.
"How many times do I need to say I am the first one to come here?" Her voice raises as she turns to him with a death glare.
"E-excuse me ma'am, your voice..." The woman tries to calm her, but she slaps her hands away.
"Is it an LQ?"
"It looks like it. Youth nowadays are really something."
"They can talk it out. The man should talk to her in girlfriend to calm down. Sweet talk her maybe,"
"Both of them are cute together."
It seems like her ears are about to burst because of what those people around mumble. Her ears turn to beet red, not because of embarrassment but anger. First, she didn't know this man, second he's an annoying pest and last he's a STEALER. A literal stealer of her desired necklace. Amidst of the scene, she saw him smirk and turn to the woman before giving him a wink.
"I'll buy it miss, please prepare it for me." He said with a smile.
Georgina touches her temple and looks at him in awe. "Are you serious? What the hell are you doing? Wink at her to flirt? Unbelievable."
"What? Are you jealous, babe?" Her jaw drop on those words he utters.
Without notice or words, he pulls him closer to him with those playful smirk on lips. The people who watch them whisper on each other and some giggle in excitement as if they are watching some teen drama.
"Don't worry babe, you're always the one for me." He wink before giving a peck on her cheeks. It made the people shout in exhilaration but not her. She's shock on the highest level. Eyes almost pop-out and jaw drop. Those words and action made her speechless.
"Here's the necklace, sir. Are you using a card or cash?"
"I'll use a card." The woman gets the card.
"Here's your card sir, thank you for coming."
Her senses came back when the man walk outside. She tries to run after him but someone grabs her wrist and saw Janna and Maila in confusion look. 'Did they see everything happened?' She would stare at them but seems like they didn't know something. A sigh escapes her mouth as she follows the way where the stealer walk.
******
The next morning, Georgina came to school early since she can't seem to sleep, but the loud cheer from other student heard even in the entrance. Some giggles and some look like a crazy fan girl. It's kinda déjà vu for her.
"Did you read in the student forum? There's a new transfer student again, and he's handsome." Marga whisper to her.
"Shut up,"
"Ms. President." She look to where the voice came from and saw Joshua walking towards them. "Hi, Ms. Martinez." He turns to Marga's direction, but she just rolls her eyes.
"What is it Joshua?"
"First, please tell your cousin not to be rug to me." Georgina form a smirk on lips when she heard Marga snap.
"Hey, what do you want me to act? Should I always smile? How shameless are you? I only smile at those people who deserve to see my goddess like beauty." She shouts.
"You're always acting rug in front of me only even if I'm too kind to you."
They both argue with each other. It makes Georgina seem like in-between of a lovers' quarrel. It's not a pleasant sight to start.
"Tell me if both of you are done. I'll go ahead but remember this... The more you hate, the more you love." She gives a playful smile before leaving them with shock in face.
It seems Marga just realizes what she said and shouts in anger—calls her name many times. She ignores it and laugh on the way. Now, she found a person who can stand in the same line as her. 'What a twist,' Georgina thinks. In the middle of walking in the hallway, a teacher came to her. It's Ms. Olivia, the one who manages the transferees.
"Ms. Alvarez, I think you already know about the new transferees. We don't have any problem with the two since both Kathy and Mr. Javier insisted on taking care of it, but there's no one who'll manage the last one. Will you take care of it?"
"S-sure, there's no problem, Ms. Olivia."
"He's in the Principal's office. You can go there and meet him in person." She nod her head and continue to walk towards the office.
In the middle of walking, she senses something off and her guts tell her not to continue. The same reaction she has when Van came. It only took a few minutes before she reach the Principal Office. She knocks on the door three times and opens it. The wide smile of the Principal welcome here and there's also a man who sits on the right side. She can't identify him since he's back is facing her.
"G-Good morning ma'am..."
"You're already here, Ms. Alvarez. Please sit down."
A little smile escapes her mouth before she could walk inside and sit in front of the man. But the moment they face each other, both eyes widen in surprise. Her little smile turns to a grin, as nose seems like giving off a steam in anger.
"Y-you/ It's you again," they both point at each other.
Georgina hiss—roll her eyes in disbelief. She faces the Principal thinks to back out on the job. There's no way. Even she offered a lot. There's no way she'll get close to that man. Not in a million years. After he ruined her day and stole the infinity necklace, which she wants. He's a big liar, maniac and stealer. He stole a kiss in on her cheeks even though they didn't know each other, lied in front of many people even though they've never been in a relationship and steal the precious limited design infinity necklace which was supposed to be hers. 'Argh! I want to kill him,' she thought inside her mind.
"Ms. Alvarez, I asked you if you know each other?" The Principal snap in front that made her come back to her senses.
"N-no ma'am. You know, I have many things to do since there's an upcoming event in our school. I'll ask other Student Council member to tour them,"
A playful smile escape from the man's mouth. "Don't lie babe, I know you're not busy. You just want to runaway from me. Don't be mad anymore."
She turn to him with frown brows, giving a sign, 'what you even saying?' But the man smirk and look towards the Principal with the same flirt smile he used to the woman in the mall. She looks down—close both fists, tries to calm herself from bursting out.
"B-babe? I don't know you already have a boyfriend, but it's better since the two of you have the same schedule. You can tour him around." The Principal said.
"Tsk. Fine." She said before glaring back at the man in front.
They all got startled when the door hastily open. It's Giovanni Javier and Kiela Fuentes with a shocked face too. Instead, to continue looking at them, she turns her gaze away while clench both fists.
"Mr. Javier, Ms. Fuentes, please take a sit."
Kiela sits beside Georgina while Giovanni sits on the opposite side, next to the man. An awkward silence lingers between them but midst of it, the Principal discuss everything they need to know or be aware of while inside the school premise. It's not something she needs to listen to since she knows everything about it. All she wants to do is leave this place.
It took a while before the Principal finished her discussion.
"If you don't have any question, then you're free to go." The Principal said. "I have a meeting so, if ever you have follow up question regarding the school, you can ask Ms. Alvarez for support."
The Principal stand up first and told them she would have to leave. All of them nod, follow her by looking until she leave the room. Another awkward silence echo but there's a tension in the atmosphere. No words came out of their mouth as if trying to feel what others will do next.
"It's nice to be a Student Council President, Gina. You have an authority." Kiela broke the silence, but she only give her a bored look and stand-up.
"Yeah, maybe."
"You should limit your authority. Who knows when will you use it to touch what's not yours anymore?" She chuckled.
Georgina stops from walking and clenches both fists on what Kiela said just now.
"Y-you..."
"Babe, what's going on here? This woman is not picking on you, right?" She startled when someone wrap his arm around her shoulder. It's the stealer.
"Oh, who are you? Her new toy?"
The man's smile at her. "New toy? I'm Jaceriel Yuson, but you can call me Jace in short and she's my girlfriend to make it clear," he said. "It doesn't matter if I'm his toy or not, because it's not something you can meddle."
"What?" Kiela frown.
"In short, don't mess with my girlfriend. Let's go babe."
Before she can absorb everything he says, the stealer drag her outside the room and left the two inside. She didn't know what to react, her jaw almost drop, and all senses seems gone. But when the loud school bell rings, it made her came back to senses. She's about to move away from him, but he pulls her closer with those playful smiles.
"Be good if you don't want to get caught in the act. The barbie girl and her boyfriend are right behind us." He whispers. She glance behind and saw the death glare of Giovanni and smirk from Kiela.
"Tsk. Who told you to act like my boyfriend? I don't need your help." She whisper with anger.
"It's because your reaction is nice."
She stops from walking and stare at him with annoyance rather than be intimidate on her glare, he just laugh.
"You're annoying, like what I thought we shouldn't go near each other." She snaps, leave him there and walks ahead.
"It's fun to annoy you babe, wait for me." He shout before running after her.
It only takes a few minutes of walk from the Principal's Office to their room, which is on the 4th floor of the main building. The moment they come inside the classroom, all their classmates become silent and as soon as Jaceriel Yuson came out behind her, the woman shout in excitement, some giggles and others left their jaw drop. She can't help it. Even though she hates the man to the highest level, he's still handsome. He's tall with short wavy brown hair, has fair skin, a perfect molded nose, natural red lips, almond hazel brown eyes. Overall, he's really a handsome person but didn't mean she's attracted to him like other woman do.
She shrugs her head in disbelief and walks towards the back. In the middle of fixing her things, she notices the suspicious stare from Marga.
"What?"
"Do you want to exchange seat with me?" She asked with a playful smile. It made her flinch. There's no way she's thinking of something helpful for her. The sinister smile gives shivers down her spine.
"No, thanks."
"Babe, I want to sit next to you. Exchange with her."
Without a word, Jace picks her things and moves it to the table where Marga is supposed to seat. On the other side, her cousin gives a thumbs up before she pushes him in the back and sits. Instead of arguing with them, she surrenders and sits down. In the middle of fixing her things, a loud slam sound came that startle her. She glance on where the sound came from but the death glare from Giovanni welcome her in surprise.
"Anyway, I'm Margarette Martinez, a transferee too, and Gina's cousin."
Marga's hand extend towards Jace to shake with him. It made Georgina came back to her senses again and look away from Giovanni's glare.
"I'm Jaceriel Yuson but call me Jace. I'm her boyfriend."
A deafening silence lingers inside the classroom as their gaze turns to the same direction.
"What the hell? Your mouth's blabbering about."
"Babe, don't we agree to not hide it anymore? Don't worry, it's fine." He caresses her head. "Am I right, classmates?"
It seems like they just realized every bit of words came out of his mouth. All of them shout in excitement, tease and congratulate the two together, but Georgina tries hard not to go berserk this time. She wants to bury alive in embarrassment while the man smile from ear to ear without worrying about what might happen next.
"Y-you..." she said with restraint.
"It's fun to act it out for real, right?" He whisper before lifting her chin.
"W-what are you doing?"
"I love you, babe." He said.
Georgina's soul almost came out of her body when he kisses him. Not on her cheeks, but on lips. It's just a second, a few seconds before she lost all her senses, soul and reputation.
