His Punishment Read Online Free

a crush on the biggest jerk in school. Though
I still secretly thought of him, I am not looking at him like that anymore,
okay except when they are playing in the dome every UAAP season, I still
watched him.
    But hey! I
support the school okay! It’s not about him! Okay, I tried to convince myself
there. But at least I stayed far away from him as much as possible, and I
stopped with the messages.
    Until today in
the classroom. But it wasn’t my choice. I didn’t know we had that change of
schedule. I was sure my block mates are happy they don’t see me now. It was no
wonder that no one told me about it. I am now more certain that they really
want me out of the block.
    I don’t know why
people don’t like me and Lyn. We’re both cute girls with very cheerful personalities.
But we don’t have much friends and I am really clueless of the reason. I am
definitely not blaming James for that, but I know that the rumors have spread
faster than high speed internet about the way he rejected me at the bleachers.
    “Stop it Tara!
Come back!” I heard Lyn say again.
    “I’m sorry. I’m
really, really preoccupied.” I apologized one more time.
    “Your table is
ready ma’am.” The usher approached Lyn and walked us to our table.
    Once we’re
settled inside, we got food from the buffet and went back to the table and
started talking.
    “Lyn, there’s
something you should know.”
    “What is it?”
she asked while chewing her California rolls.
    “I got
de-blocked.” I confessed.
    “What?” Lyn
looked at me alarmed, “What did you fail? How did you fail?”
    I can’t help but
laugh at her reaction.
    “No. I didn’t
fail anything. Remember, I was at Samal Island most of our summer and I didn’t
have internet access for the last two weeks before school started?” I reminded
her.
    “Uhuh..” she
answered dunking some tamago in her kikoman and then chewing it while looking
at me.
    “Well, I didn’t
know that they changed the schedule of my block with James’. My professor this
morning said it was to accommodate some subjects that the other block is taking
this term, and for UAAP season purposes.” I continued talking just as she
urged.
    Lyn just looked
at me frowning as if not understanding what I’m telling her.
    “Well, I wasn’t
informed that they will change the schedules so I’m kind of stuck with the
other block.” I dropped the bomb.
    Lyn almost
choked from her iced tea, and stared at me blankly.
    “What are you
gonna do now?” she asked.
    “Nothing. I was
given the option to drop all my subjects and to re-enroll in my block, but
then, what’s the point? We’re taking the same subjects anyway. And I’m used to
my classmates hating me for nothing, so I’d just stay and not go into the
hassle of a drop-add subject.” I was trying to sound as if I actually weighed
the pros and the cons.
    “Are you sure
that’s just it?” my best friend can smell something fishy about that decision.
Her instinct tells her that she is right. She won’t be called my best friend if
she can’t deduce a simple arithmetic like this.
    “Okay, it’s
going to be my last term here, and after that it’s goodbye James forever. So I
just thought it won’t be that bad if I allow myself to look at him for my last
three months in school. Please?” I pleaded at Lyn who I know will be the first
and only one to object.
    She kept silent,
eyeing me like a specimen in the microscope. She continued chewing the salmon
sashimi in her mouth.
    “Please Hon. I
won’t do anything! I promise.” I asked with my hands clasped with each other.
    “Okay, but make
sure you won’t act stupidly infatuated with that jerk again right there.” She
said in between her teeth.
    “Yes I promise.”
I raised my right hand as if taking an oath.
    “Something’s
telling me this is scary.” Lyn was bothered.
    “No! Trust me. I
won’t put myself in the same situation I was at, three years back.” I touched
her arm as if trying to reassure
