The Secret Heir

Chapter 11

Althea's POV

Operation befriend the nerd is on! I feel nervous and anxious actually even though in reality I'm not the one who'll befriend her. My friends are doing me a great favor.

Maraming different scenarios ang nasa isip ko at isa na dun ang what if magbackfire ang plan namin? I couldn't care less but this one is different. I don't know and understand myself actually. I want answers and this one is a good way to know, right?

Asking myself is ridiculous. But making a plan on knowing the nerd is much more ridiculous. Seriously? Para na akong baliw sa pag iinternal war. Bago pa man lumala ang tingin ko sa sarili ko, bigla na lang ako nabalik sa wisyo nung maramdaman ko ang malakas na batok from no other than my grinning bestfriend, Inness.

"What the fuck?! Why the heck did you do that?!" I fucking glared very hard at her. Ngumisi lang sya ng nakakaloko and I want to wipe off that stupid smirk from her face. Pinanindigan niya talaga ang pangalan niya.

"Kanina pa namin tinatanong ni Blessy kung saan makikita yung nerd na sinasabi mo but your face is only contorting in different shapes. Nakakatawang tignan pero we don't have all day kasi hahabol pa kami sa mga klase namin." Inness finished her sentence while I'm still glaring at her.

"Yeah, Ting. Ang lalim ng iniisip mo ah pwede ng languyin. Don't say you're backing out from the plan? Sinasabi ko na 'to sayo in advance na kahit hindi ito plano, kakaibiganin namin sya." Blessy finished with a smirk.

"Why would you do that?" I turned my glare at her.

"And why would not? She's pretty damn cute if you haven't notice." Again with that stupid smirk. I scoffed at her making her grin more.

"Don't worry kaklase natin sya so makikita mo sya later on." I gave them each one last death glare then continued our way to the classroom. I heard them chuckled that made my blood boil.

Padabog akong umupo pagkarating ng classroom, sumunod naman ang dalawa at umupo sa tabi ko. Surprisingly, nauna kaming tatlo. Well, that's the plan. We waited na mapuno ang classroom at sa nerd na yun.

Makalipas ang limang minuto, pumasok na rin sa wakas ang hinihintay namin. My breathing momentarily stopped when I saw how simple and beautiful she looked. What the hell? Anong nangyayari sakin?

Her auburn hair is pulled up in a messy bun tapos yung salamin niya medyo nakaslide ng kaunti sa ilong niya. Ang cute niyang tignan sa white tee niya na may print na red panda.

I felt myself redden sa mga iniisip ko. Blessy nudged at me and asked if sya ba talaga yung nerd na tinutukoy ko.

I nod at her while watching the nerd settle at her own seat. Nakakapagtaka na hindi niya kasama yung kaibigan niya. Sa pagkakaalam ko magkaklase kami sa subject na ito.

I heard Inness voicing out what I thought. "I didn't know she's that cute in person." Inness grinned maniacally. Bago ko pa sya mapigilan, tumayo sya at nilapitan ang nerd na yun.

"Hi, I'm Inness Usher but you can call me babe." Rinig ko ang walang hiyang pagpapakilala ni Inness sa kanyang sarili. I scoffed at the sight.

"Uh h-hi din? Ako naman si C-Cassiel or Cassie na lng for short." Pagpapakilala din ng nerd sakanya.

"Ow great. But I prefer to call you mine." Nakita ko pang kumindat sa kanya si Inness na nagpablush naman sa nerd. Seryoso? Nakikipaglandian pa sa harapan ko? I clenched my fist tight. Namumuro na talaga ako sa babaeng yun. Kung hindi ko lang kaibigan naku siguradong hinding hindi na sya makikita sa school na ito.

I withdraw myself from getting pissed. Bakit ako nagkakaganito?

"Hi Cassie. Ako naman si Blessy Jules at yung katabi ko naman ay si Althea if you do not know yet." Ugh bakit pa ako sinali? Of course she knew me already.
