Ghosts of yesteryears,
Haunting, yet hopeful they sway,
In heart's tender grasp.

"Don't call me 'po' or 'Prof. Maeve' it doesn't suit you, so call me by my name without those stupid formalities, got it? Dimwit."

She left me standing in front of the bookstore questioning myself what just happened, the sides of my lip rose up forming an unexpected smile from me.

"What are you standing there like an idiot for?"  Napalingon ako sa gawi ng nagsalita, the two idiots pouting faces welcomed me. "And what's with that stupid looking smile plastered on your face?" Nakakunot-noong tanong, wala sa  sariling napahawak ako sa mga labi ko.

I cleared my throat before glaring at them, "Quit asking, let's get out of here if you guys are done with your little shopping spree." I said with finality and left them, making my way to the parking lot where my car is parked. Sasakyan ko lang kase ang gamit namin.

I arrived at the parking lot and saw a couple of guys taking selfies while sitting on my car,  yes literally on my damn car I crossed my arms while watching them take pictures as if sakanila iyon. Napatigil naman sa bangayan ang dalawa nang makita nila akong nakatayo lang at bahagyang sumilip mula sa likod ko, narinig ko pa sila dalawang nag ‘tsk’ at may iba iba pang sinasabi.

Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang sasakyan ko, it's a Phthalo Green 911 GT3 RS that I brought last year while I was on a business trip in Spain, ngayon ko lang ito naipadala dito sa Pilipinas kaya unang beses ko lang itong nagamit. Nakatambay lang ito sa garage ko doon, I have a car collection back in Spain.

I let out a heavy sigh before going closer to them habang sinusunod ako ng dalawa. They stopped taking photos and stared at us, the girl who was sitting on the hood of my car raised her brow at us, oh?

"I don't think you guys have permission to just randomly touch other people's cars." I said and looked at them coldly, dumapo ang tingin ko sa babaeng biglang tumawa, nasa harap siya ng pintuan on the driver side.

"Who are you to say that? The owner isn't even around they wouldn't mind that we are touching it naman ah, in fact they should be proud that we're interested in this junk!" Napataas ang kilay ko dahil sa narinig mula sa babae? Junk? Did they just call a car that's worth more than them— trash?

I rolled my eyes and put my hand into my pocket, feeling the key of my car and boredly looked at the two behind me, agad naman silang tumango nang maintindihan nila ang gusto kong gawin.

I just walked up to them emotionlessly, papunta sa drivers side habang yung dalawa ang nasa kabila, Leigh is on the passenger side, while Dex at the backseats’ side, "Get out of the way." I said coldly at the trash looking woman in front of me, nakita ko naman itong bahagyang natigilan pero nagkaroon parin siya ng lakas ng loob na bahagyang itulak ako papalayo sa sarili kong sasakyan, what the fuck?

"Girl huwag kang pabida, as I look at you there's no way you can afford this." Sabi niya, hindi niya ba napansin ang hawak-hawak ng dalawang mga designer bags for her to have that big ego?
