BEAUTY IN DISGUISE - CHAPTER 79&80
★★★★★
“Gennie!” Genny shouted, rushing to the scene.
Before Gennie could crash the bottle on Twinkle’s head, Genny held his hand tight.
“Let me go he needs this bottle to set his f_cking brain!” Gennie snapped.
“Since you don’t have one, you’re tryna make me lose mine” Twinkle said.
” Hear that?, He deserves a f_cking painful death” Gennie said and broke free from Genny.
The champagne bottle fell from him and shattered on the ground.
Before anyone could get him, he gave Twinkle another punch.
Twinkle staggered on the counter and Genny held Gennie again.
“Dude, dude chill” Genny said.
“I dunno how to chill!” Gennie replied and when Twinkle stood straight, he raised his two legs and pushed Twinkle with them.
Twinkle fell on the ground heavily.
“Gennie I’m talking to you!!!!” Genny yelled.
“What!, He started it all!, He could have replied in a friendly manner when I told him to stand, if he had told me to settle on another seat jovially then we’d be good but he talked like a bastard!, I was even tryna keep my cool but he started spewing absolute crap!” Gennie retorted angrily.
Twinkle stood and wiped his bloody nose.
“I was only joking, I was testing your tolerance” he smiled.
Craig touched his shoulder and came to stand in front of him.
“Are you crazy?, Testing his tolerance?, What bussiness do you have with him that’s making you do that” he said.
” Bro relax , I mean no harm” Twinkle said.
” f_ck your balls!.. ” Gennie said and tried going closer to him but Genny held him tighter.
Gennie looked at Genny and took a deep breath before storming out of the place.
Polly followed him.
Genny went to Twinkle and held his shoulder.
“I won’t stop him anytime this happens again, you’re the son of an interrogator, you should know better that if this gets to the station, you’ll be at fault for knowingly provoking him” he said
Twinkle sighed, looking at him.
” I don’t joke with him, he’s my best person so the next time you toy with him, I’ll even join him to skin you alive” Genny said again and left to look for Gennie.
“Party ruined, geez!” Bae said
“Not yet!, Party on!” The DJ announced and resumed playing the loud music.
The place became bubbly again.
Polly caught up with Gennie beside the pool.
She stood in front of him, looking at his lips, it’s still bloody.
She tried to touch it but he hit her hand away.
“Are you ok?” She asked.
“Why do you care?, Not like we’re close” he replied.
” Stop being like this Geneva, I know it’s not your fault and…
“It’s my f_cking fault!, if I haven’t gotten involved with you, this wouldn’t have happened, I was just tryna be friends, like just friends, but now I lost interest” he said.
” Why?”
” Tell me why I should still be seen anywhere beside you after what just happened?, I can’t stand that guy!, I’d have crashed his head if not for Genny” he replied.
” But your face…
“I’m fine, and I promise not to disturb you like before, sorry if I’ve been inconveniencing you” he interrupted and left.
Genny rushed out and ran after him.
Polly sighed, holding her gown tightly.
She went in sadly.
Genny got to Gennie and held him back.
“Hey where are you going with your messy face?” He said.
Gennie smiled funnily.
” Jerk, come with me” Genny said, taking him back into the house.
They got to a small balcony and sat.
Red came with patches and disinfectant.
Genny took them from him and disinfected Gennie’s wounded lips, he wiped his bloody nose too.
“Don’t patch my lip” he said.
“It’ll heal faster with patches” Genny said.
” I still stand on no patches” Gennie replied.
” Wh@??ver” Genny said and stood.
“You should have been careful” Red said.
“He was able to punch me once cos I was in a daze” Gennie replied.
” I love your lines, I mean for Trinidad” Genny said.
“I just said what came to my mind and luckily it clicked” Red smiled.
” Congrats on getting a girlfriend” Gennie said.
” Thanks, do you have a girlfriend Gennie?” Red asked.
” JJ England” he winked.
” Jules Jolly?, Jeez!, I do watch her dance shows, she’s one of my celebrity crushes, she won against Priyanka lately I’m so proud of her” Red said.
” I love you Red!, I’m glad I met a die-hard fan of my girlfriend” Gennie smiled and Craig came in
” I see you’re ok already” he said, looking at Gennie.
” And why are you just coming when I got hurt since over twenty minutes ago ?ï?k!” Gennie shot.
” Oh sorry,are we friends?” Craig said.
“Then are we foes?” Gennie rolled eyes and Craig laughed.
They all left the balcony and joined the party again.
Quincy grabbed Genny immediately.
Red got Trinidad.
“Izzy sorry I’ll have to take her, she’ll be quiting subway tommorow anyways” he said.
” What?, No I’m not…
“Your boyfriend is rich, what do you need to work part-time for” Izzy smiled.
” Hear that?, I’ll take care of everything so just follow me” Red said and took her away.
Izzy continued serving with an heavy heart, looking at everyone sadly but covering up with a smile.
She actually saw when Craig and Bae came out together the other time and how he smiled when she whispered into his ear.
She wiped her tears before they’ll fall and continued serving.
Maybe it’s Bae after all.
Gennie sat with Craig and they played video games with some other guys in their department.
Polly sat sullenly, staring at him, wishing he’d come and disturb her again but he already said he’d stop.
She sighed and Bae appeared.
“You got lucky, two hotties got into a fight cos of you” she said.
” Yes” Polly replied tiredly.
” Watssup with the voice?” Bae said, looking at her more closely.
“I’m just…I’m tired, ion think I’ll sleepover, I’m leaving” she replied, standing.
” Why?, You look dull, you weren’t like this before the fight” Bae said.
” I dunno, I’ll see you guys in school tomorrow” she replied and left the house.
Izzy met her outside.
” Are you done serving?” Polly asked.
“Yes, it’s 11:30 already” Izzy smiled.
” You look sad” Polly said.
” You too” Izzy replied and they both smiled sadly.
“Your house is closer to this place than mine right?, I’ve never been to your place before, actually none of us have, I’ll sleepover at your house” Polly said, leading the way out.
” No Polly…
“What?, I’m not welcomed in your house?” Polly asked.
” You’re welcome but…
“Then let’s go” Polly interrupted.
They both got in Polly’s car and she drove them to Izzy’s house by her direction
They got to the house and Polly’s eyes widened when she saw it.
It’s a small old house in the middle of others, it’s not in a good shape at all.
Izzy led her in and her eyes widened more
It only has one room but she split it into two with a curtain.
One part served as the bedroom and the other as the kitchen.
She faced her.
“Izzy why?”
“This is the reason why I was reluctant about you coming here, I live here” Izzy smiled.
” This house will soon get dilapidated” Polly said.
“I have no other choice” Izzy replied.
“No….you can’t continue living here” Polly said and went to her bag that’s on the floor.
She took it and started packing her things.
“What are you doing?” Izzy said.
“You’re leaving with me tonight,I mean right now, live with me” Polly replied.
“No Polly I can….
“Don’t make me feel more guilty!, I’m living comfortably in that big mansion alone and you’re living in this hellhole?, Just let’s go!!” Polly shouted.
” Polly listen….
“I can’t listen!, Now I get why you always avoid it whenever Quincy eonni talks about coming to your place” Polly replied.
” I don’t want it to look like I’m mooching off you guys, you guys has already done enough for me …
“Just shut up and come pack your things with me” Polly said.
Izzy joined her and when they were done, Polly carried out the bag and threw it into the car trunk.
They drove off.

NEXT DAY, GENNY’S MANSION**
Genny and Gennie arrived from the sleepover two hours ago and now they’re almost done preparing for school.
Their first class is in an hour’s time.
“You seemed serious when you said you wanted to be friends with Polly” Genny said, descending the stairs with Gennie.
“Of course, just like I made friends with Craig, I wanted to be friends with her but that Twinkle little $h|t of a thing” he replied and Genny giggled.
They got out and met Quincy waiting.
“You didn’t tell me you’re here already” Genny smiled, hugging her.
They kissed lightly and Gennie coughed.
“The necklace” she said, bringing out a box.
Genny took it and opened it to behold the stunning necklace.
“f_ck” he muttered, bringing it out.
The pendant is the shape of a shinning sun but it’s dazzling.
“I love it” he said.
“I knew it” she smiled, turning his back to herself.
She fixed it and when he faced her again, she gasped.
“It was really made for you” she smiled.
“I might just steal it from him” Gennie said.
“Come near me” Genny replied and Quincy giggled.
“And also….I have a surprise for you in the evening” Quincy said.
” I can’t wait” Genny replied, kissing her again.
“We have a class please” Gennie protested.
“You’ll have to drive alone today, I’m driving with my pink” Genny replied and got into his car with Quincy.
“Genny it’s unfair” Gennie whined childishly.
*****
MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**
Mr Bong came in for the first class and everyone held their breaths.
The test results will be out today.
“I must say I’m impressed with everyone, everyone made my head swell, your other lecturers are so proud of you guys, BA department is the best in Maybelline college” he smiled.
” They should have just released it online, I h@?? hardcopies” Gennie muttered.
Mr Bong started distributing the results, placing it on everyone’s table.
“I improved” Bae smiled, looking at her result.
“Me too, Izzy and Trinidad chorused.
” I’m almost there” Craig smiled.
” I have to try harder in Mr Kay’s course” Polly said.
” How’s it?” Genny asked Quincy.
” I got better in all the courses, I think exams will be easier” she replied and he showed her his result.
She gasped.
Full marks in all courses.
“Wait … What are you?” She said shockingly.
” Genova Alejandro, Quincy’s sunshine” he winked and she smiled.
“Gennie got full marks!” Craig said loudly.
“Yes, I was especially surprised by his performance, he got full marks, same as Genny, I think the Alejandro’s blood is something else” Mr Bong smiled.
” No, if it’s really the Alejandro’s blood, then Reece should be brainy too, it’s MayForMe….. Maybelline” Gennie said
” Crazy you” Craig laughed.
After the first three classes, everyone moved to the cafeteria except Genny and Craig.
“It’s a known fact that Genny never goes to the cafeteria, but Craig what’s up” Gennie said.
” I’m not interested today, I’m going to the library with Genny” Craig replied.
” Then I’ll follow you guys” Gennie replied.
” Hey guys!” Red waved, coming in.
“What department are you?” Gennie asked.
“History” Red replied.
” Oh, that boring department” Gennie said.
” Says who?, It’s enjoyable” Red replied.
“We’re going to the library, you in?” Geneva asked.
“Of course” Red smiled and they all left the class together.
“You guys should go on, I need to use the restroom” Gennie said.
” Don’t stay long” Craig said and Gennie entered the restroom, bumping into Izzy.
“Ouch!” She rubbed her forehead.
“What are you doing here?” He asked.
“I should be asking that, this is the female restroom” Izzy replied.
” Is it?” He replied, going out.
He checked the slate in front of it and gasped.
“Sorry!” He said and quickly entered the male’s
“Monkey” she smiled, going through the other way.
*******
CAFETERIA**
“Quincy you need to see this” Bae said, giving Quincy her phone.
She took it and smiled when she saw the video.
Maybelline is back as the chairwoman of MM and her speech is so stern and full of authority.
“I love my mother-in-law so much, look at the sternness, the swag, the….oh my gosh!” Quincy smiled proudly.
” I love that woman a lot” Polly said.
“Me too, I wish Craig’s mum will be like that too” Bae replied.
” Is there something going on between you and Craig already?” Quincy asked.
” No, I’m just wishing” Bae quickly replied.
Izzy joined them .
“Gennie entered the female restroom” she said.
Polly smiled.
“That psycho,he’s always funny” she said.
“You once said he’s annoying” Bae said.
“Oh….I guess so” Polly replied
*******
A PRIVATE RESTAURANT**
Kimberly has been waiting for Asbel since ten minutes ago
They agreed to meet by 12 for lunch and this is 12:15 already, she got there by 12:05.
They’ve been talking on phone since he got her number and they got acquainted with each other faster than she expected.
They planned to meet here for lunch and here she is but he’s not showing up.
“I hope I don’t get stood up” she thought and decided to wait for five more minutes before trying his line.
A redhead girl suddenly barged in and came straight to her.
“So it’s you, the ?îtçh” the redhead said.
“Who are you?, What are you talking about” Kimberly replied in confusion.
” Asbel is mine!, How dare you try to take him away!” She yelled.
Kimberly stood and tried to talk but the girl grabbed the water on the table.
She poured it on Kimberly’s face and Kimberly gasped.
“Whores like you don’t deserve to be in Korea!, It’s obvious you’re from America or somewhere around that place!, Foreign ?îtçh!” The girl accused.
” Local ?îtçh!” A voice replied from behind and the redhead looked back.
A fierce looking girl is standing there, looking at her angrily.
“Echo” the redhead said and Echo grabbed her hair.
The girl gasped and Echo pulled it more roughly.
“Echo let me go!”
“Who let you out of your cage Garam?, How dare you come here to cause ruckus when Asbel broke up with you already!. Echo thundered.
“Let me to Echo!” Garam shouted.
Kimberly still couldn’t understand what’s really happening.
She’s just staring at both of them like drama.
Asbel rushed in and his eyes widened when he saw Kimberly’s wet face and clothes.
“Kim” he said, pulling her to his side.
“Garam?” He said, looking at the redhead who’s still in Echo’s hold.
“What are you doing here?” He asked.
Echo pushed her and she staggered.
“Slut” Echo said and took one the chairs with the intention of hitting it on Garam.
Asbel held her.
“What are you doing here too?, You have class right now” Asbel said.
” None of your business” she replied and pulled Garam, dragging her out.
“Let go of me idiot!” Garam winced.
Echo kicked her @zz, still dragging her .
“Are you ok?” Asbel asked Kimberly.
“No” she replied .
“I’m sorry I came late, something held me down in my office and that crazy redhead is my ex, Echo is my junior sis” he said .
Kimberly only nodded.
” I’m sorry ok?, I’m so sorry” he said.
She nodded again and he hugged her.
“I’ll get you something to wear” he said.
******
AIRPORT**
Quincy came out of the car with Genova and he held her.
“I still don’t know who we’re coming to meet” he said.
“It’s a surprise, the one I talked about” she replied and pulled him along.
” Just at the nick of time” she said as the new arrivals filled the port.
“Finally” she said, smiling happily when a man started coming their way.
He looks like a foreigner, definitely not a Korean.
Genny looked at Quincy and wondered why she’s smiling cos of the man.
The man widened his arms and Quincy rushed to him.
She made to hug him but Genny blocked her, standing between them.
“Who are you?” He asked, facing the man.
Quincy tried stepping in but Genny held her back again.
“Who are you?” Genny asked the man again.
“Antonio Norbert, 43 years old, an Australian, I have just one daughter, her name is Quincy Norbert, now who are you?” He replied and Genny’s eyes widened.
TBC.
