She gets out of the room and closes the door. As she closes the door, she walks towards her room, opens the door, and enters. As she enters, she closes the door behind her. She then runs and hops onto the bed. Glancing at her phone, she grabs it and turns it on. She unlocks her phone and goes on to message Ruth.

“Hey, it sucks to be in a romantic relationship.”

As she waits for her reply, her message was on seen.

Ruth replies, “Why would you say that? You have a hot boyfriend, have you not?”

“I and Cesar got into a fight.”

“Oh. Are you still fighting?”

“Not anymore, we got along in the end thanks to Ms. Berido.”

“Why did you fight?”

“He called me fat LOL.”

“If I am in your shoes, I would slap him good.”

“Now, I would not take it that far. But I did tell him that he’s a midget, which I’m not proud of telling him. I wish I could take back time and make it right.”

“What?! 🤣🤣🤣 Girl, you a SAVAGE. You don’t have to feel bad about it. He deserved it 🤣 🤣 🤣.”

“Well, I don’t like that kind of attitude that I showed to him. It’s mean and I shouldn’t do it. It ain’t right that I talked to him that way.”

“You’re more polite than I thought. You said that you two got along, did you say sorry to each other?”

“Yeah, we did. But we didn’t specifically tell Ms. Berido what we actually said to each other.”

“Then, what did you tell each other that you didn’t tell Ms. Berido?”

“He said to me that I should exercise or else I would be pulled harder by gravity.”

“Well, that’s kind of offensive. He shouldn’t mess with your weight, that is a general rule when it comes to talking to women. What did you say to him, then?”

“I told him that he should hang himself so that he will get taller.”

“Wow, I see what you mean when you said that you are being mean to him. But hey, you two get along now. You two forgave each other. That’s what matters now.”

“Yeah, I’m glad it’s ok now. Anyways, I’m gonna sleep now.”

“Early as usual. Bye, bes.”

“Bye, bes.”

Pop-ding.

‘Oh, it’s Cesar.’

“My love, are you awake?”

But then, her father video calls her.

‘What’s so urgent that he wants me to video call him? Well, dang it. I can’t message Cesar and have a video call with my dad simultaneously.’

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

She finally accepts the call from her dad and then positions the camera to herself so that she can be seen.

‘I’ll message him later.’

“Hello, Sam.”

“Hi, dad.”

“How are you faring out there?”

“I’m doing fantastic, dad. There may be bumps along the way, but God makes a way out for all of us.”

“That seems good. Do you know why I called you?”

“No. Why?”

“I heard from your teacher that you have a boyfriend.”

“Well, now you know, dad.”

“You know full well, young lady, that you are not allowed to have a boyfriend before you graduate college. Why have you disobeyed me?”

“I’m sorry, dad. I just like him, a lot. I just can’t dump him just like that.”

“I’m not asking you to dump him, that would be cruel. But you did have a chance to not get into a romantic relationship with someone without my permission. We just have a discussion about this when you’re still in Cebu City. Why would you betray my trust for you?”

“Again, I’m sorry, dad. It was just so fast, I pity him if I would reject him.”

“Well, that’s the problem, Sam. You are too good to people. That’s why I sent you to Toledo because the environment in Cebu City is not for you. That’s why you were taken advantage of. You lend your things to your classmates because you pity them, while they won’t give them back to you. All of this happened because you didn’t tell me about it. And now I know, it hurts me more than it hurts you, Sam. I wanted you to not have distractions while you’re still in school.”

Samantha sighs and says, “What should I do, dad?”

“You should downgrade the two of you’s relationship to MU.”

‘That ain’t so bad.’

“And I don’t want you to talk to him or even near him until I meet him.”

‘What?! This has to be insanity!’

“Why, dad?”

“Look, I’m currently injured right now, so that means I can see for myself who this Cesar is. I’ll be there next month. I was recently from surgery, so that means I need time to heal. I will go there next month.”

“Ok, I gotchu, dad.”

“I’ve spoken to Ms. Berido that you two should be separate while you’re on school premises starting tomorrow. She has to tell her associates who handle your classes about this.”

‘This is gonna be hard to do.’

“Do you have any questions, Sam?”

“None whatsoever, dad.”

“Good, that’s all I want to say for you.”

“Say hi to mom for me, dad.”

“Why won’t you say something to her? She’s here with me.”

Her mother in the background then says, “Hello, Sam.”

Alfred, her father, chuckles and says, “The beauty queen is speaking.”

Her mother then appears on the screen and Samantha giggles.

“Mom, you didn’t tell me that you’re there with dad.”

“Well, he has to be helped because of his surgery.”

“You didn’t hear everything that I and dad talked about, right?”

“Nope, I heard all of it, Sam. Besides, your dad already told me when he asked your teacher how you’re faring.”

Samantha covers her face with her hand and says, “Well, this is embarrassing. You already knew.”

“Don’t worry, dear, I still love you.”

“Awh, thank you, mom.”

He then says, “We have to end this right now, Sam. You need to sleep early for tomorrow.”

“Yes, dad. Byeee.”

She waves her hand at them and they wave back.

“Bye, Sam,” says her father

“We love you dear, byee,” says her mother

“Bye, mom.”

She then ends the call. And she opens quickly what Cesar messaged her.

“Hi, my love. I hope you have eaten.”

Samantha smiles and then replies to him, “I have. What about you?”

After waiting for a while, nothing happened. He hasn’t seen her message or replied.

‘Maybe he’s now asleep. Well, I better sleep too.’

She puts her phone on the table and lies on her bed. She then clasps her hands and closes her eyes.

“Lord, thank you for this day. Bless you. Help me with my weaknesses. Help me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

‘Oh, I forgot to brush my teeth.’

She sits up and goes to her bathroom. She turns on the lights; and gets her toothbrush and toothpaste. She puts the toothpaste on the bristles of her toothbrush, gets a glass, and fills it with water. She begins to brush her teeth by sipping some water, gargling with it, and spitting it out to the sink. She now brushes her teeth with her toothbrush, left and right, up and down. When she’s done, she spits out the contents from her mouth to the sink and sips some water. She gargles with it and spits it out. She pours out the remaining water from the glass in her hand and wipes her mouth with it.

Satisfied, she turns off the lights in the bathroom and runs towards her bed. She hops over her bed and lands as if a meteor struck the earth. She lies on her bed properly and grabs her blanket over her.

She then slept like a baby, snoring. I know this because she told me, not that I was there. That was what she told me, what can I say? It’s not that I have a crush on her and stalking her every move, I just receive the information from her, that’s all. I’m not a creep, guys, I swear to God. I’m not a criminal, I swear.
