/5/ Because I’m bored

9: 43 pm.

It was already in the middle of the night but this building was still lively lit.

Rose Angel’s Club

I was standing near the entrance of the said club. And there she was. She had just exited the main door together with a middle-aged woman.

“Here.” The woman handed her a small brown envelope which seems to burst due to what was inside it. How much was that? They talked for a while before the woman, who looked like a matron, went inside.

The girl sneaked a peek on the contents of the envelope before hiding it inside her bag. She walked away. With her thick make up and tube dress, who would suspect her? I was surprised too… that this ‘princess’ had a dirty job.

And when her face was lit up by the lamppost’s light?

I smirked.

You played well.

Alexi Sabina.

“Look guys! I purchased it.” Sabina proudly brought out a box from her bag and showed it to her friends.

They each have their own way of showing amazement towards the material thing Sabina had shown. The cla.s.s had long been dismissed but I thought that I’d stay here at the student plaza for a while. I was sitting on a swing while watching them sat on a bench not too far away from here.

“You’ve only recently bought a cellphone, right?” someone asked.

“I’ll gift this to Louis. His birthday is near.” Sabina replied to them.

“OMG,  I’m sure he’d be happy.”

“I’m sure he would like this.”

“Alexi, you’re the one already!”

“Yup, yup! You’re the rich one.”

“Don’t worry guys, next time, I’ll give you a treat.” Sabina said who couldn’t erase the smile on her lips. I wonder what was behind that smile.

If people saw me like this, they will surely think I’m crazy. I was smiling while holding the bars of the swing. At this rate, they will think I have an imaginary friend.

Let’s just say it’s really amusing to see a person who pretends to be someone she’s not. I know the truth behind her everyday lies. It’s laughable.

I didn’t want to and intended to know that. Through her eyes, I just learned that something unpleasant awaited her. How pathetic.

How will it be if people learn the truth about her? That Alexi Sabina is a ‘filthy rich princess’.

This is so exciting.

“Alexi, we’ll go home already. Bye.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow. I still have to call Louis.” They waved at each other, then she held her phone. “h.e.l.lo? Babes? Let’s meet each other later, please? Ok, I love you.” Then she hung up.

Why am I doing this? Hmm… Nothing. I’m just bored. And like I said, this is exciting, exposing her real ident.i.ty. Cool! No, no, I’m not taking revenge for what she said to me yesterday at the cafeteria. Psh. I don’t mind at all. And about that freaking blog? Well, I set aside that for the meantime. I need a break.

Sabina was already planning to leave when someone appeared before her. Chris Baldemor, he’s from our cla.s.s, too. Everybody called him ‘Baldo’.

“Lexi…”

“Tsk, don’t call me Lexi.”

“S-sorry. Hehe.” He even scratched the back of his head. He’s a tough guy, and the cla.s.s clown. But this was the first time I saw him lost his courage against a girl.  And it was Sabina. “I want to give you something if it’s fine.” Baldo opened his hands to present his little gift. “After all, you knew that since we were small I already like you.”

Whoa, a confession scene. It’s like I was watching a movie, great. Only a popcorn was missing.

Sabina didn’t accept it though.

“Baldo, stop bothering me. And please, don’t bring up our childhood again. It’s in the past!”

“W-why? Was it because I’m not rich?” Sabina stiffened due to what he had said but she immediately recovered.
