Chapter 034

"Just talk to her," Brother Vince suddenly said as he left. He has the right to walk out, I should be the one because I was the one he scolded. "Are you okay?" I turned to Tine. "Yeah I'm okay, I'll go to my locker first," I said and started walking into the university's entrance. Tine just followed behind me until we enter the main entrance. Everyone is looking at me, I'm not wearing an obscene dress and it's a formal dress. "Isn't she Vince Malvar's sister? She's beautiful." "Yes, she also has a beautiful voice. She's Professor Lozano's niece and she is a new member of the Music Club." "Is she and Tine in a relationship? They suit together." Those are some of the things I hear around but I can't smile at their compliments because of what my brother said. I suddenly felt someone put a jacket behind me. I looked at it and it was just Tine, he still followed me. "Maybe you'll get cold later, your room is air-conditioned," he said and I just smiled. He accompanied me to the locker area. I just took my notebooks and pens. He volunteered to bring my things. I don't know why he's a gentleman now? I also began to wonder about his actions. "Are you still going home to the orphanage?" he asked to my surprise. "How did you know I came from the orphanage?" I asked, confused. "Um ... it's just .. Michelle and Therese just told me yesterday," he replied while avoiding looking at me. Why did he suddenly blush? It makes me wonder. "Yes, I can't leave Billy yet so I'll go home there for the time until he recovers," I replied but he still couldn't look at me. "If you need help, just tell me. And I'll be the one to talk to your brother, for sure he was just worried about you so he got angry earlier." "Thank you, Tine, anyways I'm close to my room. I'll be fine here, go to your room too, you'll be late." He also gave me my things. As usual, he pats me on my head again but his hands were shaking while doing that. Why does he seem nervous? And he looked at me as if he was shy. Tine left and I was just shaking my head. Therese immediately gave me a hug when she saw me. Everyone in the room was also shocked because of how I was dressed today. I just sat in my seat but I saw Sebastian looking at me. I just wore the jacket that Tine lent me and it also matched the dress I was wearing. "Vienna, you're really beautiful by wearing that," Therese said and she looked at me from head to toe. "I have no choice, I didn't bring any extra clothes yesterday. So I was forced to wear it and this dress is the only one that fits me," I explained to her. "That's why for sure Michelle will be surprised at you later. By the way, is that the jacket you're wearing owned by Tine?" she said while giggling. How did she know that this jacket was owned by Tine? I nodded in response and she immediately poked me in the side, she was giggling. "Vienna, you and Sebastian have a couple of bracelets," Patricia said when she noticed the bracelet I was wearing. I also looked at Sebastian, I thought he was no longer wearing the bracelet but he was still wearing it. "Vienna, you have a couple of bracelets but why? I saw your president's Facebook post, you and Sebastian with that bracelet," Therese whispered to me. "Every member of the Music Club has it, not just us," Sebastian's serious response surprised me. I thought he would ignore what Patricia said but I was wrong. Sebastian is too quiet here in the room, he just really listens to the discussion and answers the question when the teachers ask him. But now he's not, he's starting to change. I also finished my three subjects this morning. It was lunchtime and Therese left first. She was going to her organization so I just arranged my things for me to leave the room. I was planning to leave but Sebastian grabbed me by the arm. "Do you need something?" I asked, then he let me go. "Can we talk later after lunch?" he asked. For what? "All right, I'm leaving," I replied and leave the room. Why does he want me to talk to him later? What will he say? I arrived at the cafeteria and I also found where Michelle was sitting. She had already bought food and she was also surprised to see me. She looked at me from head to toe but I just stared at her. "Are you my best friend?" I just rolled my eyes at what she asked. I'm beautiful, but I didn't know that when I wore a dress my appearance would change. "Stop Michelle, I might slap you in no time," I threatened her. She signed peace with me and Therese arrived as well. She also sat in the empty chair while drinking soda. "Vienna kind a looks amazing, not just me who notices it but all the students here inside the cafeteria," said Michelle making Therese laugh. "Especially earlier in the room, even the professors noticed her and told her also that she's beautiful. She can be a representative at the next pageant to be held here at the university," Therese replied, I slapped her on the shoulder. I don't plan to join such groups and I might be embarrassed too. I started eating 'cause I'm hungry too. Therese and Michelle started to eat also but I noticed that every guy here in the cafeteria was looking at me. Next time, I won't wear it again. "By the way friend, how was the celebration at the Music Club yesterday?" Michelle suddenly asked. I remember what happened yesterday and somehow I enjoyed it. "It's okay, I enjoyed it," I shortly replied. "Have you seen Sebastian's first IG post?" Therese asked, I shook my head in response. "Sebastian already has an IG? Why can't I even know that? I'll check it," Michelle replied as she picked up her phone. "Everyone was surprised, for all this time he just created an account. Check out his latest post, Vienna," and Therese showed it to me. Video of Sebastian and I dancing but it was just fast. That's the only part where I burst into laughter. Why is this his post? It's confusing. But a lot of people who like and comment, almost all of them are his fans. "His first IG post but you're the one on it. It's weird, aren't you right Therese that Sebastian likes Vienna?" I looked away because of what Michelle said. My friend assumes this again, she's thinking wrong and not true. "Yeah, maybe Michelle, Sebastian has already fallen for you Vienna. After all, you're both cute, you don't know how to dance but you look cute together. And in the pictures I saw, you both suit together," Therese replied. I also saw the pictures, the capture was good but I don't feel like we suit together. "But what became more talked about yesterday, was what Sebastian did to Liezel," Michelle varied the conversation. Until now, I still wonder why he did that to Liezel. "I'm a witness," I replied shortly. "Seriously? Have you seen it? How?" Therese asked. "Yes, even I was surprised by what he did. He's a man but he did that to a woman. And it's my fault why he did that to Liezel. He just defended me against those three but Liezel mentioned something that made him angry," I explained. "I've known Sebastian for a long time and I've never seen him talking to a woman. He only talks to Britt and Enzo and I think Sebastian is a woman-hater. I heard that his mom left him because of a man and maybe that's why he's like that. And Liezel knows that, with the sharpness of her tongue and mouth that's why she gets into trouble. She deserved what Sebastian did to her and it's a good thing that Sebastian was not suspended because of what he did to Liezel yesterday," Therese said and I suddenly felt sad. His mom left him because of a man that's why he hates women. But why is he talking and approaching me?
