WHEN I successfully arrived to Diamond Skyle University I immediately went straight to the parking lot and parked my car.
After I parked I removed the car key to the key hole and excitedly grabbed my bag on the shotgun seat. Before I come out of my car, I first put some red liptint on my lips and some powder of course.
I first scanned the whole place, before deciding to pick up my phone on my bag and give Vince a notice message that I'm already here.
To: Pal
{Hey, Vince! I am at the parking lot, now. Where are you?}
A few seconds later my cellphone vibrated—a sign that I have a new received message. I looked at it.
From: Pal
{Oh, right. Just arrived. I can see you from here. I'm on your left side.}
I immediately looked at my left and saw Vince leaning on his car while crossing his arms and staring at me.
I smiled and energetically ran into him.
“GOOD MORNING!” I vigorously greeted as I approached him. He just gave me a dazzling smile.
“Good morning, uhh Margaux” Vince greeted back with a low tone, and stood straightly.
“Now then, let's eat! I'm already hungry,” I said while rubbing my tummy. He chuckled.
“Sure. Let's eat” he said while scratching his brows. I smiled sweetly at him before we started walking towards the cafeteria.
While walking in the hallway, I heard the screams and whispers of the students, when they saw us—or should I say when they saw him. So...he's famous, eh?
We were surprised when suddenly a girl intercepted us.
Her face was red while looking shyly at Vince.
“A-Ahm, f-for you. I made i-it. I-I hope that you'll like it,” the woman said as she handed a box—more like a cupcake box, to Vince and immediately walked—or should I say, run away.
I looked at Vince to see what his reaction was, but he seemed used to such scenery because there was no shock either a surprise expression on his face.
‘Margaux why are you so shock afterall? He's handsome, so what do you expect? He must have encountered this, since like forever’
I looked at my surroundings I saw girls and either gays were looking at him with the in-love look in their eye.
“Come on Vince. Let's head to the cafeteria before these women also give you gifts, and we may not be able to eat” I suggested.
I didn't wait for his respond and pulled him towards the cafeteria.
When we arrived, we see only a few students. Most of them is just here to kill time or study. Not really surprising, It's still early. Also, I'm sure that most of the students have their breakfast in their mansion. Most of them are really rich, but there are still scholars out there.
We went to the counter and order.
“What's your order? My treat.” my eyes sparkle to what he said.
'Aww, he's so kind and sweet'
“Really? Thank you, very much! All right! So...because I'm on my diet now, I'll only order a few. Let's see...oh! That black forest cake! I like maybe a two of it. Then that Hawaiian Pizza, and the vanilla sundae. And ohh! My favorite! MOCHA SHAKE! I want one! The large size, please. That's all! Thank you again, you're so kind!” I said with gratitude and smiled vigorously at him.
His jaw dropped at what I said, also the cashier. He must thank me I'm on my diet right now, so I only ordered a few. I have considerations. Besides, I'm a little bit shamed on him, if I order a lot, he'll pay for more. That's very shameful!
“Oh, all right” he said and forced a smile. She faced the cashier and told what our orders were.

[Xyna]
My character is very showy. She is a happy-go-lucky person. She's free to do whatever she want (well, except on loving Vince). Unlike me, I can't laugh with a light-heart, I just don't feel the urge to laugh even in a funny estate. It's not that I don't laugh, I still laugh...but with sarcasm. I'm not like this before. If only that hadn't happened, tsk! Every time I remember that days annoys the hell out of me. I hate them!
How could they side to that childish boy instead of me! They are so unfair! For goodness sake, I did that to defend their daughter's ass because he was bullying her. Well, they didn't actually know why did I did that, so I can't really blame them. What really makes me angry is that they sided that son-of-a-bitch instead of me, even though they knew that he's bullying their perfect daughter. I explained and explained! Again and again! But...nothing I say was believe! I tried..I tried! But it's already finished before I get started!
“Days and months passed, Vince and I have always been together. As time goes on, my feelings for him deepened. I am hoping it is mutual. I am bothered. I felt...scared, because I know once it happens, our own families will be our greatest hindrance” I narrated as Margaux Hutchinson.
“And... cut! You all did a great job again” Director Benjamin praised and look at his wristwatch.
“Okay, it's already 11:47 o'clock. Take your lunch first before we continue to the next part (set)! Back before 1:00 P.M”
“Okay, sir” we said in unison. I took my bag and drink some water.
“Hey, Xyna!” I almost blow my water out of my mouth when someone suddenly approached me. I looked at him with my deadly stare.
Guess who? None other than, the useless-arrogant-jerk Dwyne Harrison.
“Woah, woah! Don't look at me like that.” he said and laughed as if something was funny. I didn't budge and still glared at him. And smiled sarcastically.
“You're funny. Very very funny. It makes me laugh. But it also makes me want to punch someone, right here, right now.” he stopped laughing and make his face serious. Good thing, he stopped. 'Cause if he didn't my fist will really reach his so-called 'handsome' face. But I know this man is laughing inside, tsk!
“What do you want?” I asked him while arching my brows.
“I just want to invite you to join me for lunch” he said while smiling broadly at me. Ignoring his so-called mesmerizing smile, I arched my brows higher.
‘You can't take me with that smile of yours, Dwyne Harrison’
Maybe Margaux Hutchinson will flatter, but Xyna Alegre won't. Never. Maybe my character and I are same, we have a total different persona.
“Sorry to burst your bubble, mister. But I don't want to eat with a scum bag, I might not be able to eat properly.” I told him without any hesitation. I saw his smile suddenly vanished.
“Hey, just agreed please! It looks like you don't have a person to lunch with. It's sad to eat alone you know” he insisted. I just ignored him.
Well, even though it's sad to admit, but he was right. Except for Agatha, I have no other friends.
Unfortunately she wasn't here rigjt now. Yesterday, she asked permission to go back to Wisconsin—her homeland, his grandmother got sick and was no one to take care of. But she said that her Aunt Violet will arrive tomorrow— her mother's younger sister and an oldmaid. It travels around the world to entertain itself.
And yes, she was in Wisconsin yesterday when she called me. Even though she was really far away, he still did not forget to remind me of my important schedule.
“Hey, Xy! Don't you want that? The oh-so handsome Dwyne Harrison is insisting you to have a lunch with him” my mouth hanged open with what he said.
“Handsome, eh? I didn't know that you really are blind that you can't even see how UGLY you was. And just as I said I don't want to! I might not be able to eat my lunch, I might choke because of you” I said sarcastically.
