"Look at her, I think all women will be given a chance except for her." "I know right. I mean just look at her? Who would like that as a maid? Oh right she already looks like a maid! Hahahahahaha!" "If I am the prince? I will be sick of her face! That scar, that skin, that eyes, that nose, that face, that body, that everything?" "You're right! I'd rather die than to be her!" Then the four girls not from afar laughed at me. I couldn't hear what they're talking about but I'm sure it is me. I mean, that disgusting looks on their faces, that should be no one else but me. "Just let them be, Mary. Just let them be," I comforted myself. I will be just wasting my time on them if I bother. "Mary!" I turned my head to the one who called. "Castriel, what are you doing here?" I blustered. The attention I am gaining is different if he's here. I don't want to drag him down with me. "Why? Is something wrong?" I looked at him then moved my eyes around. Telling him that people might misinterpret. "As if I care," I was shocked when he rolled his eyes. That was funny! He helped me choose vegetables from the store here in the village. After buying, we went to the meat house to buy some for dinner later. Castriel is the son of the famous baker in the Seven Heavens and their bakery is here in this village that is why it is called Founder of Delights. Castriel himself also knows how to bake and cook, he's also the one who taught me how to do it. His family is known and they're good to me but still I don't want to ruin their image just by being with them and also, Castriel. "You bought quite a lot huh." He uttered while carrying some of the fruits and vegetables. "Yeah, so you could be useful," I joked. "Ha ha, very funny!" He said and stared at me. My brows curled. "What's with that stare?" I teased then moved my brows up and down. "You have a crush on me, don't you?" I said then continued wiggling my eyebrows. His face then, turned dead serious. "Yes, I have a crush on you." That made me stop and blinked a couple of times. "Mary.." He mumbled and moved closer to me and all I could do is move backwards. Until I felt a cold wall behind me. "I have a crush on you.." I can feel my sweat falling down my face when he whispered that to my left ear. "I have a crush on you...because.." I waited and waited until he faced me. "Because...you're so...so..." "S-So?" "So...ug---" I pushed him away from me. "So mo mukha mo! Wag mo ko pagtripan Castriel! Damn you!" I walked away screaming. "WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hey wait! I was just kidding!" How dare he! I'm gonna smack him! "Mary! Hey, wait for me!" He yelled while holding his tummy. What an asshole. I continued to walk when I suddenly bumped into someone. "A-Apologies, I didn't mean to---" The man in black silky cloak faced me. He was wearing a half-faced mask and his hair was kinda messy but the pretty face he was hiding is still seen even with the mask on. "Tsk." I heard him mumbled looking so annoyed. My brows curled and stared upon him for some time, not saying anything. We stared at each other for a while. There's this urge telling me to look straight at his glimmering eyes as if it holds the whole universe inside. "Mary!" I immediately looked away and saw Castriel coming nearer. "I-I have to go. Again, I apologize," I uttered then bowed and went running away afraid for Castriel to catch up. Tired of running, I went inside my house as I catch my breath. "Wow. I didn't know I could run that fast," I mumbled and went straight to the kitchen to get some water. "Maybe I should join some running competitions huh?" "Yes, maybe you should," nabuga ko ang tubing na iniinom nang may magsalita sa likod ko. "H-How the hell did you get here?!" I blustered at Castriel peacefully sitting at the table. "May kabayo akong dala, hindi ba?" Saad niya at lumapit sa'kin saka ako binatukan. "Ouch!" "You dumbass! I helped you carry your stuff and you'll be running away from me?! Huh?! Do you want me to smack you?! Come here, let me smack you!" "Oh, so it's my fault that you keep on teasing me?" I nagged and moved closer to him. "I already know I'm ugly. There's no need to remind me, got it?" I saw his face softened. He cupped my face that made me stood still. "You're not ugly. They're just blind to see what real beauty is." I blinked many times. What the hell is he doing now?! I can feel my blood rising up to my cheeks! Damn this!
