The Player"

　　--------------

　　"Pat! You really are so so so so slow! Faster! Catch me!" Enzo shouted while running so fast that he stumbled and rolled just to get away from me.

　　I was then 10 years old while Enzo was 12.

　　Our parents are best of friends, that's why we’re always together. Like literally. However, we’re always cats and dogs as we always fight. Or rather, he always starts a quarrel. He is a freaking certified bully! But it is just I who he always bullies, and it is not really funny!

　　However, despite our fights, Enzo always coaxes and spoils me, that is why it is hard to be angry at him for a long time. Yup. He is really sweet and caring although he really has a lot of naughtiness in every bone in his body.

　　“Enzo, let’s stop! I can’t run anymore. Let us just play hide-and-seek. Please! Please! Please!” I shouted at him while holding my knees to catch my breath. Gosh! I think I am going to die right now!

　　He invited me to play guns...how am I going to live with that?

　　Oh, no. Now, he is slowly approaching me with a very huge smile plastered on his face. Oh my gosh. I know he is just going to tease me again. Just like he always does. Hmp.

　　"What the freak? Your fats are literally jumping as you run! You are always eating, so no wonder you get tired easily. How are we going to play? Tsk."

　　Because I was a kid, as always, I approached my mom, and complained about him while crying really, really hard. It is hard to cry ha!

　　"Mommy, tita, Enzo is bullying me again. He is saying that I am fat"

　　I did my best actress winning award acting as tears build a river on my face. My mom chuckled at me, so I could not stop myself from pouting. While his mom raised her brows, and talked to Enzo with authority.

　　“Enzo, say sorry to Pat. Stop bullying her,” his mom said.

　　"I'm sorry Pat.." It is so obvious that he is annoyed.

　　I thought he was going to tease me again when suddenly, he smirked and pulled my hand for us to go some place else… I know what he is thinking this time!

　　The kitchen. Yes. We went to the kitchen. What is he thinking? I sat on the stool as I waited for him to finish what he was doing.

　　"Your food, my royal highness. Tsk. This is the reason why you are so fat." Gosh! He is still smirking...

　　I frowned and pouted. When will he stop? There is never a day that he did not tease me! When I lose the fats, and I get prettier... who you Enzo? I swear, I'll never talk to him again.

　　"When I grow up, I’ll be pretty and sexy. When that happens... I swear, you'll gonna beg for my love. You'll gonna say to me, Please love me."

　　"I hate Monday!" Enzo said as we enter the Lo Solidad University.I am an 8th Grade student while Enzo is in 10th. We are riding his car that his parents gave him.

　　I forgot to tell, Enzo is a bigtimer. Their family owns malls and resorts. Well, we are in the middle class. Daddy is in the US while my mom owns Flavours, an ice cream parlor. That was my favorite then, but now, I have learned to take care of my body. Enzo always teases me just because he is handsome, rich, and a boy-next-door.

　　I woke up from daydreaming when Enzo pinched my cheeks.

　　“What’s your problem, ha?”

　　"You’re so cute, Pat..."

　　"I told you… you can touch everything, but my hair!" Annoying!

　　"And why are still calling me Pat? Eww! I told you, it’s Tricia, not Pat!" Gosh!

　　"Wow, you are a grown up! And you are even sexy now." He said while chuckling.

　　“Pat again? Go to hell!”

　　I went out of his car, and walked fastly. Thank God we are alive! He drives like the road is a racing track!

　　No matter how fastly I walk, Enzo is still able to catch up on me. And he even has the guts to hang his arm on my shoulders. A lot of eyes are following us, and he seems to enjoy it...he is a flirt!

　　"Hey, Enzo baby..." I raised my brows when Sydney suddenly approached him. Gosh! Sydney the glue is here again! She look like a puppy as she gapes at Enzo. Doesn’t she know that Enzo is just playing with her? Duh! Later he is with another girl again! Tsss..

　　"Hi, Sydney.." Enzo walked to Sydney. I rolled my eyes when he left me for his Sydney the glue.

　　I stepped up to snake my hands around Enzo to bid my goodbye.

　　"Marvie, I gotta go. Bye!"

　　I intentionally called him Marvie ‘cause I know he’ll be mad. He doesn’t like it when I call him with that name, sounds girly, he said. And I win! Hahaha! He is infuriated.

　　"Pat, I'll fetch you after class? Flavours?" He asked as I walked away. When I entered I saw Jericho, my suitor. His fighting spirit is leven 99999. I told him to stop courting me; he was just talking to Sunny then...

　　"Flowers for you Tricia.."he said as he smiled.

　　Jericho is not bad, but we’re just too young for this. At the end, I decided to get the flowers,

　　"Patricia!!!!" I catched my breath because of that voice. Oh..it’s Enzo and Sydney the glue. What’s his problem? He looked at me seriously when he saw the flowers.

　　Patricia? It’s Tricia!

　　“What do you need?”

　　"You forgot your books." He is frowning as he passes the books, that’s why I let go of the flowers. Gosh! Is he menopausal?

　　"Pat you are so ugly that you look like a tomato!" I immediately touched my face because of what he said. So embarassing!

　　"Go to hell! Ugly your face!" I raised my middle finger at him, so the books fell. He just raised his brows, and laughed. Annoying!
