Last night, she was extre accomplishure look helpless She kept on laughing on her way out of the village last night
But by this tih or even smile She cannot participate in the recitations since hersomewhere else She was nervous on what Dex can do to her once they met She was afraid of the possibility and he can just easily kick her out of this school
Why did Dex have to be such a pervert? He was the one at fault in what happened ti hiht, he did not answer any of her questions for the interview The intervieas a total fail And because of what happened, she doubts that there would be any interview in the future
The bell rung and she did not understand anything from the class It was the first ti fro shoeswith Leila to consult with her regarding the issue of her assignet the editor in chief’s to understand why she can’t get the assignht help her explain to their adviser why she failed the task
The proble her task, ill that do if the owner of the university himself will kick her out of this school?
Jennafei stopped walking when she saw a fa shades on his eyes She was filled with nervousness Especially when she feels his stare pointing in her direction His facialand he looked extremely mad She turned back and walked back inside the classroom Her professor was still inside
“Sir, I will help you with that” She was referring to the books that he was fixing She took the books despite his rejection
“It’s not needed, Miss Castro I can easily carry theet the booksback but she did not let him
“I also need to speak with you, Sir If possible, can I talk to you about the matter on our walk to the faculty room?”
“If it suits you” He let her be and walked out of the classroo for her
“Its about our latest project, Sir…” She opens so Dex will see that he can’t disturb the with the professor She continued talking while they are walking but she was forced to stop when someone suddenly put his arm on the professor’s shoulder
“Sir, how are you?” Dex asked Mr Macaraig to her surprise
“It’s you Mr Peralta I’ well, how about you? How’s your mom and dad?”
“They are now in US And here I am, with sore eyes”
“Mr Peralta, if you are not feeling well, you don’t have to force yourself to go to classes You should take proper rest”
“I can’t go absent, Sir, because I need to speak with Ms Castro”
Jennafei felt like running out of the corridor but she was holding the professor’s books
“Miss Castro?” He looked at her direction “Then okay, go ahead and speak with her What we’re discussing is not that important anyway” The he took his books from her
“Sir, we’re discussing so that is important “
“We can talk about it later Mr Peralta wants to talk with you” He s away
She was left along with Dex She looked up at hilasses on, she can feel his blazing eyes as he stared down on her She gasped when he suddenly held both of her shoulders
“Come with me” He firmly commanded and pulled her away from that place
“Wait!” Jennafei protested, she was pulling her hand at her best to no avail He was al his ar a wall The people around the for some help but nobody wants to interfere
“Help, please What kind of school is this?” No one wants to go near since it’s Dex who is doing this “Please, call a discipline officer”
She gave a yell when she saw Jaycee She clasped the Jaycee’s arawksat them
“Jaycee, helpJaycee with her
Jaycee acted like he wa about to cry “My grandht fry o of me, please” He was terribly afraid that Dex will look back and will see him
She reluctantly let hi that he will be able to get help from anyone But she has an assumption that no one has the power to interfere, not even the president of the school
They reached the basketball court while being dragged by theher at the locker room She decided just to plead since she is already very afraid of what he is capable to do to her
“Dex please, let’s talk about this”
Dex stopped in the middle of the basketball court and looked back at her
“Please?” She pleaded like a puppy while rebelling inside
He did not answer but she continued to plead “Whatever you’re thinking to do, don’t do it, please Let’s talk properly You don’t have to drag et out from the locker room with other men She called out to him He walked towards the her hand, while wearing a dark face
“Jenna?”
“Help me, Jude”
“Help you? Why?” He looked at Dex
“None of your business, Jude” Dex warned his teammate Then he suddenly lifted her up and on his shoulder, like he’scarrying a sack Her bag dropped on the floor and she wiggled and screa on it
“Dex, what are you going to do to her?”
“Not any of your concern” Then he harshly opened the locker room door, he drove all the other men out of the room, closed the door and then locked it
Dex caught her by the waist and shoved her back against a locker door Then he lowered his head to hers She closed her eyes out of fear She can no longer breathe fro so she does not have a pepper spray to protect herself from him There is no one is the room, aside from the two of them
“Dex, please… Don’t do this toat this point
“Open your eyes,” he coasped He re of his eyes It’s the effect of the pepper spray “Look at what you’ve done to me”
“I… I’m so-“ Jennafei stopped Why does she have to say sorry to him? It’s his fault why it happened to hiiveness He harassed her last night And wait, why does she have to be afraid of him? She should not make herself look helpless in front of him and admit his power He will only harass her more
She reround “I’m so not sorry about that You deserved that You were sprayed on your eyes because of your own doing I did not fault you because I just defended ed me because you were about to sexually harass me”
His facial expression did not change He was evidently mad and he looked at her as if he was about to squeeze the life out of her Anyhow, she stood firlared back
“Not all girls can just be easily played by your hands You can not treat all girls like a plaything I’irl ill just let anybody kiss irls like they are toys I did that-“ she pointed to his eyes “to protect myself and to teach you a lesson I want you to realize that you can’t get everything that you want and you can just easily do whatever you wish to anybody You have to learn how to respect women”
The darkness in the expression of his face slightly vanished but there are still traces of rage in his eyes “Are you done?” He lowered his face towardshers even more
She want to screauy does not really have any conscience “Not yet! What kind of s? Just because you were born rich and you own this school, you just play with every people in this school? Sure, kickyour power, getting everything you want in just a snap of a finger Kick e in what happened to your eyes” She challenged Dex
Since eventually, she will have to transfer from this school if she will she will lose her job at the school publication The tuition fee will get back to regular and that will be a too large of a load to her parents if that happens If ever, instead ofit hard to her parents, she will choose to transfer to another school that may not be as well-known and as class as this one, but at least, they can afford the tuition
The rage suddenly vanished from his eyes His face was suddenly devoid of any expression He just stared at her for a long time While she just stared back at him
“How many questions do you have?” he casually asked
“Huh?” she did not expect that question
“How many questions do you need to ask from me?”
She furrowed her forehead “What…” Her eyes bulged out when she realized what he’s trying to say “D-do youfor an interview?”
“He nodded sly
“Are you serious?”
“Do I look like I’ to ask from me?”
