The beginning of rivalry

Geli's Pov

What the— is this really the current destiny ?!



"What are you doing here?" It points to me.

"I did not know that this is your house and she is..... your....sister." I murmured.

"Wait wait ... My brother, I brought her here, she is the one what I call our 'loyal customer'. And she is also famous! " Althea defends me.



There was a moment of silence at what Althea said.



I can't believe it.



If so, he also owns that shop ?!



"Wait ... You two, know each other?"



We looked at Althea at the same time.



"Yes! Ms.Kendride" He replied while folding his arms.

"Yes, we knew. Mr. Fansori" I folded my arms like he did.

"What a surprise! How ?! " Althea approached me and touched my shoulder.



"'Were classmates"' It was as if we were dueting with our answer.

"Wow !!! Brother, why didn't you tell me that your classmate is the one and only Geli Kendride?" Althea asked her older brother.



He only shot a glance on his sister...



"Oh Ok, but you..." Althea confronted me.

"Why didn't you tell me that your classmate is one of the famous and hottest guy from Deming University which is my ... brother~" She added.

"I don't think so. I knew that University, but I did not know him." My answer.

"Whyyy !!! You are both famous" Althea shouted. I don't know but she's cute when she act like that, even though that attitude seems a bit childish.

"Maybe, because I'm busy studying and sometimes blogging" I lowered my hand. I turned around and faced the table.

"Yeah, me either" I heard Red say.



...



Althea and I are in her room now. Of course its just the two of us.



We play video games. But I can't win against her. She's so good at this until she fell asleep.



Haayyy !!!!



I was suddenly turned over when someone opened the door.



"Are you sleeping?" Red asked.



Actually, I'm not used to it so I'm a little confused. Why am I here?



"I am not" I answered.

"Come here"



....





"What?" I asked.

"Sorry for my sister's inconvenience" He said.

"Its alright, she's so cute, anyway"

"I will sent you now"

"No, it's alright"

"I'll take you if you want to go home." He said as he grabbed a key from a table.

"It is difficult to ride in this place, especially at night. It is also dangerous now outside. My conscience can't handle it especially my sister baught you here" He added.

"Wait, are you worried about me?" I smirked.

"I'm worried I might get jailed if something bad happens to you"



What ?!



"Let's go!"



He is still serious. I thought he was kind to me. Maybe if he kills me, he'll just throw my body in the river just so he cannot be imprison. My eyes widened.



Wait. That's too much of me.



*************



And here we are now, outside my home. I mean the building of my apartment where I lived.



I quickly got off the passenger seat, just because I was more comfortable with Althea driving than him.



"Thanks for sending me" I said with my head bowed.

"Don't mention it, I will not send you if there is a vehicle in our area. Next time think first before you come along with others house ... make sure someone will pick you up"



It was as if my eyes darkened at what he said.



"Well, anyway. Your welcome! Good night! " he raised his hand as if to say goodbye and turned around to get back in the car.



I just did not answer and hurried to my unit on the third floor.



...



I'm in my bed. I tried to erase everything that had happened today in my mind. My brain does not need such events, all my brain needs to compile are the things connected to learning. When I gather such useless events, my brain may be full. So delete! Delete! And delete!



*************



It was only five o'clock and I was awake. I swear, I really don't want to be late again!



I also got to school early.



I was really surprised that Red and I had the same time entering again. I can almost call ita de javu!



But of course, I went out to the rooftop of 1st year colleges again, so that I could have time here.



I finished reading the book I just bought last week. So now I am answering the questionnaire book I buy when I went to the Mall, where I met the man who got the teddy bear that I have long dreamed of getting.



Well, that's not the important thing at all.



Just like the 1st time I came here, I heard women screaming from below. When I peeked, he was still the man yesterday. The number of famous boys here in school is getting bigger!



Never mind.



...



KRINGGGGG !!!



At last, Ms. Chaluer will tell us what project she will assign for us.



"The project you will going to do is ...."



Please make it challenging !!



"Acting!"

"What ?!"



Everyone was surprised by Ms. Chaluer's announcement, I was also surprised.



"Ms? What kind of project is that ?! I don't remember anything about 'acting' in our lesson. " Complaining by one of my members, Dondria Flores.

"Ms.Fores, I know your right. But, class, do you remember nothing? " Ms.Chaluer made a hand gesture.

"Huh? !!" Astonishment of students in this room.

"Class, I don't know how but how did you manage to forget about the booths that would take place in a week?"



"Oh! The booth !!!" The students whispered.



"Ok, That's the reason why I made this project. I want to have a movie booth. But it's more intense because what we were gonna release is your own work, isn't it more fun? For those who want to shine here at school!"



They all even shouted at what Ms.Chaluer said. Except next to me and of course me.



*************



I am in the canteen now.....



"Yey, we are groupmates !!!"



I mean. The five of us agreed to meet here in the canteen for the upcoming movie. Of course out of fear of getting bored, I brought my questionnaire book and a ballpen.





"Hi, Red! It's a good thing I also grouped by you, somehow I don't feel sad anymore ~ " My stepister started flirting again.



Red didn't even pay attention to her.



"And why are you sad, huh, Steph? Eh we already have two celebrities here throughout the school. Did you see the students around? Geli and Red are being watched by them for the whole time !!! " I just noticed that Dondria is also hyper. Like Althea?

"Wait wait wait .... You just can't call me Steph!" My stepsister said.

"Why not? I heard your two friends called you Steph!" Her two friends? Or two minions? Tsk! So, Dondria has a point.

"You are not my friend!" Stephanie's eyes rolled to Dondria.



...



"I'm sorry for that disturbing moment, Red ~ but you know what? I think I'm interested in you" She said while placing her arm on Red's shoulder.

"Sorry, but I'm more interested in that ..." Red finally spoke — wait, is he pointing in my direction?



My eyes widened and if my gut felt right so did our colleagues.



...



There was a moment of silence ...



"What are you saying, Red ~?" Stephanie moaned. Hee eyebrows almost meet in annoyance.

"I'm just talking about her book" He said which lightened me up.



I don't know why but I felt something strange even though I got used to the men around me treating me like that.



"Oh ... You chicky monster head! I thought you really liked Geli ... but I hope you really liked her !!! Yiiiieee !!!" Dondria seemed to be tickled by her laughter.

"Hey, don't you dare try to snatch the princess from me!" Terrence said tremblingly as he pointed to Red.

"Terrence, don't be too harsh!" Dondria calmed Terrence.



Tsk!



I looked at Red who was still staring at me. We also looked for a few seconds before I let go.



"Hey ... let's just start this meeting" I said.

"Sure, my princess! Did you hear that? let's start the meeting." Terrence led.

"Hmph! Whatever!" I heard Stephanie get annoyed.

"Right!" Red said.

"Ok! Not only did you ask but I am an expert when it comes to directing! Dondria is proud.

"First, we need of course a writer, a great writer." She added.

"I recommend Stephanie" I pointed to my Stepsister.



Even though I don't like her, I can't put my pride first. We were close once so I know she is good when it comes to writing.



"What ?!" Stephanie got a shocked reaction.

"Wow !!! Really !!! That means your a good writer?" Said Dondria.

"I won't write!" She's acting childish. She's doing it again.

"Write or Quit?" Red asked that caused silence.



Why is it that when he spoke, everyone seemed to freeze?



"Ok, as long as you, Red ~"

"You're so naughty, my princess is the one who recommended you!" Terrence said to Stephanie and it looks like someone is upset with that?

"You don't care!" Stephanie roll her eyes on Terrence.

"Ok ... I'm gonna write! For Red. Well what story am I going to write? " That's a good question of Stephanie.



We all looked at Dondria who was currently holding her chin while staring up.



"Hhhmm? What are you looking at, guys? " She said when she noticed we were looking at her.

"Hello? I said what kind of story am I going to write? Are you deaf? " Stephanie seems to have no choice in the matter.

"Oh, right! Uuhhhmmm ... How about romance? " She answered.

"' No way! "' Red and I seemed to be dueting with our answer.



They then looked at us.



"Woah! Do you two talk telepathically? And you really duet ?? !!! "

"' Dondria !!!!! '" Terrence and Stephanie next duet.

"Oooohhhh ..... You two!!! Your sweet as well, I hope so too !!!"





It looks like the two are angry so Dondria stopped.



"Uuhhmm .. ehem! Ok, how about Tragic? "

"" Nope "" The four of us spoke at the same time.

"Comedy?"

"No"

"Horror?"

"No"

"... Fan....ta...sy ... ???"

"No"

"Hayyy !!! Guys, we can only vote! I am the one who is at a disadvantage !!! " Dondria looks tired.



Ok. I also agree.



"Ok. Who's in favor of horror? " Dondria asked while raising her right hand.

"I think its too harsh" I said.

"Yup. Of course! " Terrence agrees with me.

"Hhmm ... Ok. How about in Fantasy? " She again raised her right hand but none of us raise our hands.

"Tragic?"



None!



"Comedy ?!" No one raised a hand to the four of us.

"Guys, your making me upset! You have not chosen one! " Dondria sounded a baby who spoke for the first time as she crossed her arms above her chest.

"Ok, since I am the writer. I would choose .... Romance! " Stephanie said.

"But that was the first thing I said!" Dondria nodded still on a baby tune.

"Ok. No choice! Just make sure it doesn't contain too many cheesy parts! " I nodded.

"Well, that depends on my decision as a writer ..." Stephanie smirked as she twisted her hair.

"The deceit of you four!" Dondria nodded.



*************



I was on my way home when Red and I were together in the hallway.



"So, do you have a passion for reading books?" He asked me as we walked together.

"I should be the one asking that." I said.

"And why?"

"Because I am the only one with the highest grade in Class-A of the second year college, I am, in short honor student and everyone knows that." I said proudly.

"You seem to be mistaken because I do not know about that."

"Now you know"

"Yes, thanks for that. Now I know who my rival is. " My eyes widened when I heard that from him.



I stopped walking and so did he.



"What did you just say?" I continue.

"Like you, I was like that in my old school before I moved here, I was also the honor student of all college students. I'm sorry but I will not allow myself to lose it just because I moved here. " His face looked more serious.

"So what are you saying? Cause I will also not give up being an honor student. " Our faces are too close to each other.

"If so, this is the beginning of our rivalry." He said.

"I agreed. You are now my rival! "



Tension begun between the both of us.



I can't believe it. The owner of my favorite place has become my fiercest rival now?
