Chapter 38

: In A Relationship
Two days passed. No commotion happened to Avie and me, no news about Soren. In those two days, I found out who hit me with the ball, I didn't bother myself too much because it wasn't intentional and he had no intention of hurting me.
I let it slide because it's not a big deal to me and I really don't care what's happening at school right now. The important thing is that I find a solution about Soren"s disappearance.
I need to see Jizan, I need to talk to him about this. I need to execute my plan, I need to get close to him. I know he knows a lot.
So I rubbed my face and walked towards the college department. Many students looked at me and stared at me.
'What is that bitch doing here?'
'How dare he come here to our department ?!'
'Thank goodness he's the mayor's son! If not, I'm bald! '
You can say whatever you want to say, that's all you have because you can't do what you say.
Lowclass bitches.
"And what are you doing here?" I was stunned by the absence of hearing Kylie's voice suddenly speak.
I ignored him and continued to search for Jizan.
"You looking for my boyfriend? Pwes, he's not here!" I couldn"t help but stop and laugh at what he said.
"Self-proclaimed girlfriend, you weren't there when it was her birthday!" I said and turned to her. I saw how surprised he was at my sudden answer.
"Excuse me ?! He didn't invite me because he didn't want to make me tired! We celebrated seperately from his family!"
"Oh really? Sucks to be you then, I celebrated your boyfriend's birthday with me by his side because." I smiled and said.
"Ugh !! YOU SLUT !! YOU THINK YOU CAN MATCH ME ?!" Kylie shouted so it got more people's attention.
"Me? Will you be matched? Maybe you're trying hard to match my level, excuse me? Duh? I'm the mayor's daughter, eh you? Who are you? Feelingerang fish?" Laughing I said, I heard the weak laughter of others because of what I said.
"Why should I match you? !! You slut! Whore !! TWO-TIMER, BITCH !! There's already Riguel, he's still flirting with Jizan! NOT TO BUY ONE TAKE ONE GIRL!" Kylie shouted, I was just shaken by her.
"You can spread rumors about me anywhere, everywhere, and anytime you want. But the truth can't be removed, you're just feelingera."
"Feelingera pala ah."
I saw Kylie suddenly run towards me and was about to pull my hair but I immediately grabbed her hand and twisted it behind her.
So our position was I was behind him, while I held his hand.
"That's sad, Kylie. If I'm you don't come too close to me, and you might miss your birthday. I'm telling you, don't be me. You can't handle me." I said and pushed him hard.
He fell to the floor so I took the opportunity to leave that department. Putangina! Where is Jizan! Aren't they still going in with Riguel today?
How long did they leave ?! That's not possible anymore, they might be suspended from that.
I have no choice but to go to the school garden, after all, I only go there whenever I don't have time.
When I got to the garden I just sat on the bench and looked at the sky. If I were Jizan, where would I go at these times? I'm sure I'm not at home, not at a friend's house, not at school, not in clubs ...
Could it be ... on the OS?
Wait ... that's impossible to happen..does Jizan have a connection to the OS? Probably! He graduated there, I heard he has the highest rating in this generation, followed by Riguel.
I was about to stand up when I was surprised to see who I had been looking for standing in front of me now and seemed to have approached me earlier.
"Jizan!" I smiled when I called his name.
He raised an eyebrow at me. "What were you doing in the college building earlier?"
Act, Evie. Act! You need to say something that will totally lost his mind!
"I was looking for you ..." I said gently, I saw how his adam's apple moved because of what I said.
"Why are you looking for me?" He asked.
"I don't know how to say this but I want to talk to you about something ..." I tried to sound sweet and calm so that he would be even more surprised and he would be able to predict what I wanted to convey.
"About what?" I was nervous when he suddenly walked towards me, so now I was swallowed and backed away slightly.
"I do not know where to start." I said nervously.
"Just say it, princess ... just say it .." I clenched my fist.
I shouldn"t be the nervous one here, it should be Jizan who"s nervous because of what I will say! But why do I still seem nervous, and I look more like I'm really going to confess how I feel for her ?! But no!
This is only for Soren! For Soren ... in order to save Soren. I have to use Jizan, it's for Soren.
"Evie?" He calls.
"Ah? Yes!"
"I've been thinking about this for a long time, I don't know how to tell you this Jizan, and I don't know where to start. I don't want to appear awkward because you've seen and grown up with me ..." I started.
"What are you talking about?" He asked with confusion.
"I like you, and I want to be your girlfriend." Fuck !!!! SAVE ME GOOD HEAVENS !!
I closed my eyes while saying that so I was surprised to feel the gentle rotation of Jizan's arms around my waist.
H-he is hugging me?
"Do you know what does it mean to be my girlfriend, Evie?" I heard him asked so I gently shook.
"No I do not."
"If you're going to be my girlfriend, first ... you need to move in with me..second, I will be near by you everytime ... third, you will cook for me in the morning ... fourth , we will cuddle always..fifth, we will buy the groceries together and lastly, you must LOVE me, not LIKE me. " I can't move on what Jizan said, there are so many qualifications ...
I can't just asked him out.
"Oh, and another thing ... if you want to be my girlfriend, you should give yourself to me wholly. All of you are mine and nothing will be left ..." She whispered softly that immediately made my body hair stand on end.
Does he mean we should have sex?!?! The fuck, no!
Jizan walked away from me and looked me in the eyes.
"You still want to be my girlfriend?"
"Princess?" Jizan called me, I swallowed and looked straight at Jizan.
For Soren ....
"Yes."
: Liking You For A Decade
I said yes. I agreed to what Jizan asked. Tangina, why did I agree again? To get close to him and get information about Harold. That's what I need right now, after getting the information that I need I can leave Jizan. I will explain everything to him soon. But first, I need the information first.
I looked at Jizan and saw the unbelievable expression on his face. But in the end he just laughed softly and took a deep breath.
"I'm just kidding about the qualifications, are you serious about this?" He asked me, and I nodded softly.
Act. Evie ...
I took a deep breath and hugged him tightly. "I really like you Jizan, and I really want to be your girlfriend."
I was surprised when I felt Jizan's hand wrap around my waist. He's hugging me back, I don't know but my system suddenly calmed down when Jizan hugged me.
"Alright then, let's skip class." I immediately looked at him because of what he said.
"Skip class? But why?" I asked him a confused question.
"We should date. We should hang out." He says. I bit my lip so hard because of what Jizan said, and nodded softly.
"Let's go .." He said and immediately pulled me towards the school's gate.
I saw the different stares of the students at school. I don't care about these rumors, it's important that I get information. That's more important than these rumors.
"Oh? Jizan and Eveanna? Where are you going?" We stopped walking when the guard saw us.
"There's an emergency at city hall, guard. I'm just delivering Eveanna." The guard just nodded at us and let us out of the school.
I turned to the guard and saw the meaningful look he had on Jizan and me. I just stared into the air and looked at the road again.
We both walked towards the parking lot and Jizan's white car immediately opened up to me. I swallowed, this is the first time I will ride in his car. I'm always with Riguel ...
He slammed his car and opened the door for me. I looked at him and he raised an eyebrow at me.
"Get in, princess .." I sighed. I will also get used to it.
When I got inside I was amazed at the smell of Jizan's car, it smells so good. I never thought Jizan's car would smell like this, it smells like mint and aftershave.
He also went inside and started the engine. "Why are you absent for a few days?" I asked him.
"Hmm? I got busy, and I have a lot of things to do in OS." In the OS?
"What are you doing there?" I asked again, please just answer me..I looked at Jizan and saw that he was just looking outside seriously.
"I need to handle a lot of things, why? You miss me?" Jizan asked me jokingly, I just fell in love with him.
"You know, you're a feelinger! I'm not your porket boyfriend, I'll always miss you!" I said. Jizan just shrugged and immediately drove the car to the school.
"Boyfriend ... that sounds very good ..." He whispered. What?
"Why? Don't you miss me?" He asked again.
"Oh! I don't know about you Jizan! Stop taking already!" I said angrily.
"Denial you, I really miss you?" He was still sarcastic.
"Whatever Jizan! Don't be assuming, please." I said and just stared at the emptiness.
"My princess is very rude, well, don't worry this is our first date as a couple, I'll make this worth it." Jizan said, he didn"t smile but I knew he was happy with what we were doing now.
"Jizan?"
"Yes, Princess?"
"Do you want me?" I asked. I'm very curious, because maybe he won't make me his girlfriend like that, right? There has to be a reason.
"Why did you ask?" He asked.
"I'm just curious, I mean we wouldn't be in a relationship if we didn't like each other right?" I almost puked. I was about to get angry because of what I said. But whatever, Jizan can be manipulated easily.
"I like you for like a decade." W-what?
"A-A d-decade?" I can't believe I asked him.
"Yeah .."
"But that's ... that's impossible! In that decade you became Catalina! So what you're saying is impossible. Don't fool me." I said.
"I don't like Catalina." I was surprised when he suddenly said that, so I looked at him as if I couldn't believe it.
"Seriously, Jizan?"
"Seriously."
"Eh why did you make her your ex-girlfriend if you don't like her? You yourself said she has qualifications! Did she pass all !?" I couldn"t stop screaming out of annoyance, he didn"t have to lie to me! He can say that he really liked Catalina!
I felt him pull over and stop the car so I looked at him. I was surprised to see that he was just looking at me seriously.
"Listen princess, I like you since I'm sixteen years old. I don't know why, but I liked you even when you were young. Call me a pedophile but that's what I really feel. And about Catalina ... I only dated her because you remember what you said before? " He asked.
"Which one? Did I say anything before?" I asked.
"You said you'll only date men who's serious with his studies and has a great taste of women." Oh right, I said that when I was eleven and Jizan and I were playing with Avie.
"That's why I decided to date Catalina, she's great. She looks decent and elegant so I thought she was what you call 'great taste of women'. So when I started dating her I was also serious about studying because You said that's the man you want. " He said. I wanted to look away from Jizan, but I couldn't. It was as if my eyes were fixed on him.
"And princess listen to me, I don't have qualifications okay? I'm just kidding now. I respect you, I'm not a mother fucker." I was shocked by his sudden insult but I recovered quickly.
"So you believe me now? That I like you for a decade and until now?" He asked. I did nothing but nod at him.
"Don't shout okay? Don't let your anger consume you." He said and continued driving.
He likes me for a decade and until now? That's interesting.
: Another Complicated Plan
"Thankyou Jizan .." I said to Jizan and got out of his car, today was really really great. I had the experience of going to the fair and I didn't think it was so much fun. It was really fun, that was the best.
I never thought I would be happy that way. It was simple yet very fun. I might try it again but with Avie ...
Jizan also got out of his car and looked at our mansion and at me again.
"So I'll fetch you tomorrow?" He asked.
"Yes, sure ..." I said smiling. I admit I really enjoyed our day. It wasn't an act, it was genuine happiness.
"Goodnight .." I nodded at him.
"I'll text you when I'm home." He says. I nodded again at what he said.
I thought he was leaving but I was surprised when he suddenly approached me and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.
I couldn't move what he suddenly did, I looked at him and he just shrugged. He got in his car and rolled down his car window.
"I'll go now, bye Princess .."
"Bye, Jizan."
His car left and I rested comfortably there. I looked around our mansion and was surprised to see Avie standing there. I should say sorry to her right?
I walked towards her and she looked at me. She looks really mad and doesn't seem to want to talk to me yet.
"Avie ..."
"I apologize because of what I said yesterday okay? I didn't mean that, I was just brought into the situation .." I said softly.
He averted his eyes from me and took a deep breath. "Go inside, we will talk about this."
We both went inside and I saw Tita Savienna facing her laptop and she was busy. She looked at as and smiled a bit and the attention returned to the laptop again.
Avie and I both sat on the sofa.
"Are you really serious about dating Jizan?" His introduction.
"Why? There's nothing wrong with it." I asked.
"You're using him Evie! And we both know that human art is wrong." He says.
I thought there, he was right. But ... I badly need some information about Soren, every time we can't find him there is a greater possibility that we will find him longer.
"But it's for Soren, Avie." I said.
"You can help by not using a person, Evie!" I was startled suddenly when Avie's voice rose. I need to be calm.
"But it's faster this way! Jizan knows something!" I said angrily.
"He knows something, but he is our friend! You can ask him but not use him!" He shouted. I was caught in my senses because of what he said.
"You don't understand! If I just asked him he probably wouldn't say! But if I am his girlfriend then he would trust me and say it to me without hesitation!" I said.
"What the hell are you thinking Evie ?! You can't just use people for your own advantage !!"
"It's not for my own advantage! I am here to help Soren! I am doing this for us! To make everything easier!" I couldn't help but shout too.
"Why are you two shouting at each other?" We both looked at Aunt Savienna when she suddenly spoke.
Avie and I immediately fell silent. We don't want to be scolded by Tita Sav, I know how angry she is so I don't want her to scold us both.
"I overheard your conversation, who are you using Eveanna?" Oh fuck. Why do we have to shout?
"Jizan! She's using Jizan, Tita!" I got a bad look at Avie for being a flirt.
"Jizan? Son of Zoldyck?" Tita asked.
"Yes." I say weakly.
Tita Sav sighed and laughed a little. "You know Evie, you really inherit from your Mama. You make very very risky decisions .." he said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You know, your mother once enrolled in OS just to stand on her own, that was very risky but she did that just to help her self." Said Tita. Yeah I've heard about that ...
"And you ... using someone just to save Soren..think carefully Eveanna, you might lose someone because of a stupid act. You must think carefully before you make a decision .." He added.
Think carefully ... right ... she's right ..
"We will find Soren, I promise you that. And you don't have to use someone just to help. Get that?"
"Yes Tita .."
"Now..you must fix the mistake you just made." He said and went back to his position earlier.
I looked at Avie but he just shrugged and left. I need to fix my mistake? But I can't divorce Jizan right away just because of my trip. I need to have a valid reason ...
But I can't tell Jizan that's just the way it is. I need to wait for atleast a week? Or month? Maybe it's not hard to be his girlfriend. He likes me in the first place so maybe I won't have a hard time.
I just need him to break up with me. And there is only one reason I know for him to divorce me, I just need to be very very stubborn and be reprimanding him. For him to get bored and he will divorce me.
Suddenly my cell phone helped so I looked at it, and I was nervous about the message I saw.
From: Jizan
I'm home.
I can't just leave him! Besides, it seems like I just invited him to be his girlfriend so he might be surprised when I want to divorce him again the next day.
I just need to stick with my plan then, I just need to be reprimanded with him to make him angry and leave me.
Right. That's it.
: Necklace
Jizan told me that he would fetch me yesterday, so I left the house early so he wouldn't reach me. So I'm here in the classroom now and I'm very bored because it's my morning here. I looked outside the classroom and was surprised to see Riguel walking closer to our classroom.
What about his morning? Is he really like this all the time? I waved at him and he was surprised to see me in the classroom.
When he entered he immediately sat down next to me.
"Why are you up so early today?" I asked him.
"You too, it's early. What's up?" He asked back.
I can't tell him about me ditching Jizan right? Because they are close and he might tell Jizan. I can't say the real reason.
"Because Tita Savienna and I got up early, anyway, why did you just come in now?" I asked.
Riguel looked away and rested deeply. "Family matters, why? Did something strange happen?" He asked.
"No ... I just got curious why you took so long to get back to school." I said.
"Thank you for your birthday gift anyway, I really appreciated it." I smiled at what Riguel said.
"I didn't really know what I was going to give you, then I remembered that you're a basketball player. So I bought you some things ..." I told him.
"Yup, I didn't expect that you'll get me those things too. I know you're not interested in sports." He says.
Suddenly my cellphone rang so I looked there and my eyes widened at what I read.
From: Jizan
I'm here already, but Tita Savienna said you already left?
Riguel and I looked at each other but he was looking in a different direction. I took a deep breath and replied to Jizan.
To: Jizan
Oh! I forgot that you'll fetch me today! I'm already at school.
Later, Jizan replied immediately.
From: Jizan
Okay then ... where are you? Let's meet.
Oh fuck..I don't want to see Jizan first! I may have a harder time avoiding him. I need to make an excuse!
To: Jizan
I can't, I'm doing a project with Riguel ... maybe next time ..
I rested deeply again, I was already confused by my own decisions. I should've think more!
From: Jizan
With Riguel? How can you both make a project that he is absent for almost a month?
Fuck !!! I almost forgot !! A to is smart! I can't just fool him! Impossible!
To: Jizan
Fine, where are you?
From: Jizan
Outside your classroom.
I was immediately nervous because of what he said. I looked outside our classroom and there he was, looking at me while holding his bag and cellphone.
"Ahm, Riguel ... I'll leave first." I say goodbye to Riguel.
"Why, where are you going?"
"Just !!" I said and hurriedly walked out of the classroom.
Jizan immediately looked at me with no emotion on his face. Damn, is he mad? Is he angry? I couldn"t read what was on his mind, whether he was angry or disgusted. I don't know !!
I rested deeply and bowed, why am I nervous when it comes to Jizan? I don"t know what"s happening to me, why do I seem so weak when it comes to Jizan? This is so hilarious!
"Why are you looking down?" I heard him say. What?
"Eyes up, princess ..." I heard him say. I bit my lower lip lightly and followed what he said.
I looked at him and saw that he was just looking at me seriously.
"A-are you m-mad?" I stuttered the question. Jizan's lips twitched and weakly laughed.
It was really good and early, and no one could see us talking in the senior highschool building. Rumors might get worse when they see us talking here.
"Are you afraid of me?" He asked. No point at lying right? No matter what I say, he will still know when I lie.
I slightly nodded. "Maybe .."
"Why? I am your boyfriend, why are you afraid?" He asked while looking at me seriously.
Boyfriend ... he's my boyfriend ... right..why should I be afraid? If we have a relationship?
Jizan approached me and stared at me seriously. I can't look at him in the eyes! I blinked and was about to look away but I was surprised when he touched both my cheeks.
He's cupping my face !! What the hell ?!
"Don't be afraid of me, should I be the one be afraid to you right? Cause you're Eveanna Santillana. And I am only, Jizan Zoldyck." My eyes narrowed because of what he said.
He's only Jizan? Only ?!
I mimicked his action and also touched both his cheeks. I saw the shock in her expression, so I smiled.
"Are you underestimating yourself Jizan?" I asked.
"Don't you ever belittle yourself infront of me Jizan, don't in front of me. Not with your friends, not with anyone. Never." Seriously, I heard Jizan's weak laugh again and nodded softly.
"Yes, ma'am. I won't do it again." She smiled and said, that's it. His old aura is back again. The smiley Jizan.
I removed my hand from his face and patted his head.
"Good boy ..." I smiled. He just snickered at me and also removed his hand from my face.
He arranged for us and took something from his bag. I looked there and saw that he had taken a box. A long box.
He immediately gave it to me.
"Wear it. That will show that you're owned by me. And only me." He says. My heart jumped immediately because of what he said ... damn. Hold yourself together Eveanna!
I immediately accepted and opened it, my eyes widened because of what I saw. It's a necklace. It's a gold necklace with a, 'J' pendant.
Really ... clever ...
"Seriously, Jizan?" I laughed at the question, he just shrugged at me.
"Just wear it."
"Yeah, yeah fine ... help me .." I said.
"Sure thing." he told me.
He immediately took the necklace and gently put it on me. I looked at the necklace around my neck and smiled.
"I'll fetch you tomorrow, okay? Don't forget." He said and walked away.
Damn ... I thought I'm going to be stubborn? But why did I do what he just all said?
Fuck this.
To be continued...
