Chapter 7: Annoyed

It is past 7 in the evening but I am still here in our room. Austin and Cody already left. I never had the chance to come to the party with them since I've been in the restroom for about an hour. I just had to change my pants, after I peed on them. I guess it was because of my anxiety. I am not used to things like these. Technically, I shouldn't be here in the first place. This is all that jerks fault. This is the first time that it happens to me and it is gross.

A couple of minutes passed, I decided to get myself ready, though I haven't made up my mind if I am going to go there. It's just that my body acts as if I needed to be there. After I got dressed up, I sat down in my bed thinking whether to leave or just stay. The party starts at 7:30 in the evening, and I am still here.

While I'm in the middle of a debate with my conscience, I heard three consecutive knocks on the door. I stood up and checked who it was. I was shocked when suddenly she burst into the room. She had no plans to show some manners at all. She immediately went straight to the bed where I've been sitting before she came...

"Are you going to the party with that?" She said while pointing at the clothes I am wearing. I just rolled my eyes on her. I am not going to argue with this creature. I feel exhausted. It's been a long day for me.

I ignored the lady inside our room. She never failed to annoy me. She's just like my boss. And speaking of which, that lunatic did not call me. I've been waiting for his call the whole day. I am bothered by what he said last night. That good and the bad news keep messing with my mind until this very moment.

On second thought, he might be very busy. Jayden mentioned that he heard from Lina that we will be having a new client. Mr. Jerk must be exerting so much of his efforts to impress them. His father, Mr. Alcantara (what I meant is Mr. Kardo, not the arrogant and jerk Aiden, I call him Mr. Jerk. I just hate him.)puts this client on top of the list on his target stockholders since then. Their company is really hard to please. They are so popular that they rarely go on negotiation even with other corporations that submit their proposal to them. I don't know how it happened, but I guess it's with God's grace; He had given Love or What? Corp. a chance to prove itself to this elite corporation.

“Are you okay?” I almost forgot that Camilla is still here. I am really at the brink of my temper right now. She always sticks with me. 'How am I going to get rid of this nuisance?' I hissed under my breath.

“Hello? Can you hear me? I've been talking here the whole time and you don't even bother to answer me. You are not even listening! I look like a fool here trying to talk to you but you just act as if no one's here." she started ranting. 'Does she not have any idea that I don't want to talk to her that's why I am acting this way?'

I continued ignoring her, I even reached out for the book I borrowed from the Library this afternoon and tried to pretend reading.

“Okay then, I thinks I should just leave. . .” She said, she must've finally noticed that I don't want her presence here.

"But I'm not going to leave until you change your clothes." The hell with this woman! I know she will not stop bothering me until I gave up with her condition. So, I decided to get what I think is the most decent pair of clothes that I have here and head straight to the restrooms. I have no plans on changing in front of her. I might blow my cover if I do so.

It's already 7:56 pm when I finished preparing myself. I had to double-check my appearance to make sure that I wore everything necessary. I just had it as an alibi to stay here longer and that Camilla will get bored waiting for me. I wish that she'll be gone when I go back there. But to my surprise, she's still here. She is just glaring impatiently at me when I enter. Her face shows no reaction but I can feel the bad aura coming from her.

I tried to avoid her glare and quickly grab my sneakers. 'What's wrong with this lady? The way she looks at me now is different from the way she looks at me earlier. Does she grow impatient? Why is she still here in the first place? She could just leave if she can't wait any longer.' I thought.

"Is that the fastest way you move?! Hurry up! You should be done in 5 minutes." she told me. 'Okay, what now?! What's with the bossy attitude? I really can't believe her!' i whined in my head.

“I'll wait for you outside. Hurry up!" She said then closed the door. I followed what she said and I don't know why I do follow her. Unfortunately, I guess I don't have any choice but to go to the party.

I made it outside in less than 5 minutes. I saw her leaning on the door with her arms crossed. I know that she's already pissed. She is glaring at me. Without any words, she signaled me to follow her, so I did. We started to walk downstairs. As we pass by the other rooms here at the dormitory, I noticed that she was quiet but her arms still crossed. She is mad right now. I smiled with that thought. My weariness faded when I realized that I finally got to annoy this woman. I can't help but grin secretly. Other people who will see me right now might think that I am crazy since I was smiling like a maniac behind her. But I don't care. I am just happy now.

I heard the noise coming from the function hall where the party was. When we are about to enter, she suddenly wrapped her hand around my arm. The officers on the registration area said ghat I belong to table no. 2. It is the middle table in front of the stage. Everybody is looking at us as we made our way to our seats.

Many students arrived. There are some old students but mainly are transferee and freshmen. Those old students who are invited to come are the former officers of the Student Government. Cody and Austin were also former officers that are why they are invited as well. And speaking of which, where are those two? They went here earlier than me but I haven't seen them since I got here. The party just began but few are already on the dance floor. These kids don't want to waste a minute to dance with their dates. I've been there before. I smiled when I remember the days when I was having my first dance.

I immediately sat down the moment we reached our seats. I don't want to catch any more attention. I don't have plans to drink and dance here. I might blow up my cover. I'll just watch these students have fun.

Half an hour passed, I am starving. I looked for the buffet area and fortunately it was just on the opposite of the table next to ours. I stood up and I'm about to walk towards the buffet when suddenly Camilla grabbed my hand and dragged me outside the hall.
