As the days went by, Ezekiel became even more mysterious to me. Every time he ignored me as I watch him adjust the load of sugarcane I get even more obsessed at him.

I will not give up until I get an Ezekiel Montenegro.

Even I’m young, I knew that my feelings for him would never be crushed. My friend scolded me because Ezekiel was old for me. Who cares right?

"Is that foe Ezekiel again?" Cindy's voice was sharp as she looked at the collage pictures I was making of Ezekiel. I will laminate it later and give it to him. I don’t know when he will return to their hacienda so every drop of time is important to me.

"Just support me Cindy!" I smiled at her. She glared at me and blew her lollipop again.

"Seriously Cindy? That lollipop isn't your sign anymore." I rebuke you here.

"Seriously Cat? Even a toothless old man eats lollipops. You like a twenty -three 'e feeling immune."

I burst out laughing and punched him.

"Mature not immune!"

"It's still the same!"

Cindy and I were walking to the Cafeteria when my cellphone vibrated. Every passerby smiles at me and greets me. I am popular at this school. I’m the miss sweet heart at miss Southland High School. Dad is also one of the sponsors here at our school. Each room has aircon and each floor has its own cleaner.

Our uniform is violet in color with a thigh -length skirt. our neckline is cropped and the top is light violet. While our left chest is branded Southland High School. Southland also has a College extension but I guess, I will study at another college.

From Tristan: I'm here at the canteen.

I was shaken to read his message to me. We headed to the cafeteria and saw Tristan alone there. Wearing a big eye glasses and carrying a book.

Cindy told me. “He is handsome."

"He's not my type. I like Zeke." I whispered to her.

It bothered me.

Just like before, Tristan helped me with our projects and assignments. Almost everything he will do for me. He's nice ... but even if he’s nice I don't like him, not really.

"Hello Cat!"

Darla suddenly stepped to my side. I put the five books I just bought at the library here earlier. The library here sells books especially for the students. Papa is already one of the sponsors of the requirements of this school so every year there are new books.

There is also a buiding laboratory. On those three floors, each room is full of computers. You will swipe your violet card on the side of its automatic door as payment and even all day you can use the computer. The violet card is purchased here. at least a few more people you will free here in the cafeteria as long as you have a violet card. Only a few students have it and I am already among them.

During class, teachers collect cellphones and other gadgets. It is forbidden to flirt here. Each year has its own school bus. cars and bikes are not allowed, especially if you are a student, depending on whether you have a driver.

"Yes Darla?" I don’t like Darla’s habit. She's a bitch.

She slung her Gucci bag neatly over its shoulder. I was obviously envious. I took a deep breath and picked up the khaki Hermes bag I had just bought.

I heard her soft gasped. I know, I'm not going to lose to him. I just lived without being too exaggerated like him.

She cleared her throat. "Where are your bitch friends? Are you bored?"

"Cindy is not a bitch, Darla. She's a childhood friend."

"What ever. You left, you're blocking my locker. You might miss the school bus."

"I don't ride the school bus. I have my own car and a driver, excuse me .."

I grinned and bit my lower lip because I knew Darla was annoyed with me again.

I was in our SUV when dad called me.

"Hello dad!"

"I'm going to a meeting. Do you want to come along?"

I smiled. If there was the first man I loved in this world it was papa. He is the dream of being the daddy of all children. He gives me what I want and makes me happy. And for a change, I became a good daughter for him.

"Really dad? Where do you have a meeting?"

"To my partner. To the Montenegro’s .We'll eat at the restaurant you want , then. "

"Yes yes dad! I'm going home too."

"Yes hija. I'll wait for you. Take care."

When I arrived at the mansion, I did not go straight to papa. I went straight to my room and searched for something nice to wear.

I pulled the peach colored dress. I took a half bath and wore it. I paired it with a white sling bag and combed my long hair.

In the living room dad is waiting for me. It smiled when it saw me.

"My baby is really a big girl .."

I frowned and hugged dad. "Papa I'm not a baby anymore."

"I know."

I was nervous during the trip until we reached the towering Tower of Montenegro. Its interior is a mixture of gray and black. Before entering, a big M will open for you. Like the brand of their clan.

My hair stood on end as I looked at that brand. Color black and intimidating similar to how intimidated I was with Ezekiel.

I regret why I didn’t bring Ezekiel’s laminated collage pictures. If I had brought it I might be able to give it to him now.

We were with papa's male secretary when we entered a room. Just as there is. My heart pounded when I saw Montenegro's first child, Manuel. Ezekiel frowned as we met. I clung to dad's elbow when I felt my knee shake.

I didn’t know that the four Montenegro would be talking to papa today!

Don Juanito with his two sons Manuel, Ezekiel and his nephew Savier Montenegro.

"Good morning Juanito. My unica Hija, Catalena.” Papa introduced me.

I smiled at them not looking at Ezekiel's side.

"Hello to you."

He shook my hand. "She's so young and pretty Jerry." He said to papa.

Manuel also shook my hand and Savier stood up and smiled. Ezekiel stood up last and I accepted his hand.

When our hands came together, everything seemed to be in slow motion. It's like I want to picture our hands. I cannot take off our hands!

His fingers are big and long. The smallness of my hand look.

"Hija ..." papa laughed when he saw that my hold on Ezekiel's hand lasted. Ezekiel sighed and sat down. Her cousin Savier coughed dramatically.

To my shame I just sat down suddenly and bowed.

I just listen to their conversation. Pure business and transactions they talked about. Beaches, lands mostly sugarcane are discussed.

They shook hands after the conversation. There were smiles on the lips and I knew they had a good idea and agreement.

"That's also a big asset to us Jerry. Thank you so much." Don Juanito.

"It's a pleasure Juanito .."

I saw three Montenegrins talking not far from papa.

"Don't you say you're with another woman tonight Zeke?" Savier asked with a smile. Manuel just shook his head at them.

"What are you talking about Sav ?I'm busy. "

"Talk to my ass Zeke, I know you .."

Suddenly Zeke's cellphone rang. He apologized and came out first.

"Hmm, papa excuse me huh? I'm just having a bathroom break."

"All right hija, I'll wait for you here."

I nodded and left that room.

I looked for Zeke and saw he was talking to someone not far away. He was soothing and the eyes were closed.

I hid on the side and took him a picture. He is so handsome!

I almost sniffed his stolen shots and looked at them. I want to scream because I have something to add to my collections.

"What are you doing again?"

I was surprised when Ezekiel was in front of me. His face was cold looking at me.

I smiled at him. Determined to my liking. "I have laminated collage pictures of you.I wish you would accept it in case I left. "

"Just quit little kid. I don't have time for this. Go inside or you'll get lost."

"True! I'll give it to you." I still try.

He closed its eyes and shook. "All right, give it to me. Just stop it...just study hard and don't do things like this. "

I was silent as he insulted me. My eyes got hot.

"I just won't give up!" I hissed and turned away from him. I marched back inside and I almost bumped with Manuel.

I never looked at them again.

"What did you do to the child?" I heard Manuel ask. I closed the door.
