Love me or Hate me

Chapter 13 a toxic friend

Chapter 13

Eight years ago...

"Hi.. AK.. ahm.. I'm Cassidy.. can-can you be my boyfriend..?"

AK stared at her like he was just mesmerized after seeing her standing in front of him.

Austin Kendrick was sitting in the middle of students na mukhang mga kaklase nito, being the most outstanding student he was like lecturing those students in front of him when she interrupt him.

But to her surprised Austin walk towards her at napa tingala siya dito he was so tall for 22 years while she was just 17 he was 6 feet three inches samantalang 5'4 lang siya.

This is just a dare,a bet between her and her college friend na si Jenna.

Jenna really likes A.K sa pagkaka alam nilang lahat but his real name was Austin Kendrick.

He was now in his fourth year in college sa kursong Criminology, but aside from it, Austin was considered a genius dahil napagsasabay-sabay nito ang tatlong major courses na hindi kaya nang normal na utak niya.

He is like a celebrity aside from his good looks he has a nice voice that everyone adores, nice body pretty face and the most eye catching is his beautiful pair of ice blue eyes.

That's so pretty na sa ngayon ay matiim ni Cassidy na tinititigan habang nasa harap niya si Austin.

'.. it's impossible.. this is so impossible alam ni Jenna na matatalo ako dito that's why pinusta niya ang buong allowance niya sakin, because AK is so far away from me like he already reached the milky way samantalang I'm in the core of the earth.. ',

Pagak siyang natawa habang kaharap ito dahilan para mangunot ang noo ni AK.

"I'm sorry..this is stupid I shouldn't have asked you those stupid questions --"

" You want to be my girlfriend? "

Embes na tanong ni AK and her lips parted open sa tanong nito at napalunok siya hindi niya alam kung iiling o tatango ba siya.

While everyone's gaze was with them, mga bulungan nang mga estudyante.

"Ang kapal nang mukha niya!" Bulong nang isang estudyante.

"Hindi na siya nahiya really kay AK?" Dagdag pa nang isa

"Nababaliw naba siya?" Patuyang tanong naman nang isa.

"St*pid woman!"

Pakiramdam niya ay mabibingi siya sa mga bulungan nang mga tao sa paligid but to her surprise AK held her shoulders.

"Ok, from now on you're officially my girlfriend Cassidy what a beautiful name.."

AK smiles at pakiramdam niya ay mahihimatay siya dahil nagdidilim ang paningin niya.

"I-I can't breathe.."

Nanikip din ang dibdib niya.

"W-what?" Austin sounds worried.

She heard him ask at tuluyan na ngang nagdilim ang paningin niya.

..

Cassidy woke up inside the infirmary katabi si Jenna.

"Gosh! Cass you made me worried!"

Sermon nito sakanya at pinaikot niya ang paningin sa paligid there's no AK at nagpapasalamat siya dahil mukhang panaginip lang ang lahat.

"I'm sorry, but what happened..?"

Nagtataka niyang tanong.

"Really? You can't remember?"

Bulalas ni Jenna habang nanlalaki ang mga mata at umiling siya.

"AK now is your --"

Ngunit napigil ang usapan nila when the door burst open at pumasok si AK na may bitbit na pagkain sa isang fastfood at bouquet nang bulaklak and her lips parted half open habang hindi makapaniwala.

Natuptop niya ang bibig.

"Gosh..! Baby pinag alala mo ko.."

Bulalas ni Austin na lumapit sakanya at biglang naupo sa kama sa tabi niya at napa atras naman si Jenna.

She startled nang biglang hawakan ni Austin ang pisngi niya she can now clearly see his beautiful skin na parang pang model wala man lang ka galos galos o bakas nang stress sa mukha nito.

Bumaling si AK kay Jenna na tila napansin na nakatayo sa tabi niya and he smiles sweetly kita niya ang pagning-ning nang mata ni Jenna at pagpula nang pisngi dahil sa ginawa ni Austin obviously her friend likes him.

"Can you please give us some privacy?"

Siya naman ang nagulat, sa sinabi nito at maging si Jenna ay hindi alam ang gagawin at kung paano iikot ngunit tumango si Jenna at nagmamadaling lumabas nang kwarto.

Her heart was pumping loudly na nabibingi siya.

While she can't get her eyes off of AK dahil hanggang sa mga oras na ito she still can't believe he is now her boyfriend.

Hindi pa sila nakaka pag usap ni Jenna because both of them didn't expect this to happen at wala sa plano niya ang magka boyfriend siguradong patay siya nito sa daddy niya she was just in first year!

But seeing him now nang malapitan makes her heart beat rapidly na hindi niya maintindihan he was so gorgeous so handsome at wala siyang tamang salita na pwedeng i described kay AK ngayon.

"I brought you a snack, maybe you're just hungry kaya ka nag collapse.."

Seryosong sabi nito na akala mo talaga tunay silang magka relasyon.

"B-But.. a-are you sure y-you wanted me to be y-your girlfriend? B-baka naman nabibigla kalang.."

Alanganing tanong niya but Austin shook his head.

"The truth is, you really caught up with my interest when I first saw you in the commencement program,held for the freshman, I just don't know how to approach you, and I didn't expect this to be this fast, you're now my girlfriend and I'm sorry to disappoint you but I don't take back , what I already said.. "

And AK smiles at her sweetly and that makes her jaw drop Austin held her hands and kisses the back of it makes her face burn in embarrassment but Austin just gave her a sweet smile.

Jenna's POV

"how..how this is all happened..?AK is supposed to be mine..how dare you Cassidy..I thought you're my friend..how can you betray me...?I can't believe this.." nagpupuyos na sabi ni Jenna.

"So,what did I tell you about that Cassidy? I knew it from the start na hindi yan papayag na maungusan,mo..you think naging mabait lang siya dahil kabigan lang tingin niya sayo, but look at her now.." mataray na sabi nang kaibigan niyanh si Rica.

Jenna was now fuming.

"now you're not my friend anymore Cassidy,I hate you and I will do everything to get Austin back to me.."

..

Ever since that day, AK starts following Cassidy around wherever she goes as ifwhat he really feels for her is genuine,he was always besides her and she meet his cousin Lance na kapareho nitong nasa fourth year narin sa kolehiyo.

"I'm envious of you Austin, where did you get her?..I wanted someone like her too.. "

Nakapangalumbaba si Lance habang nakatitig sakanya they are on the school cafeteria dahil lunch break but Austin put a cap on her head and pull it down to cover her face.

" Hey, back off you a**hole, you will never find a girl who's beautiful like her, nag iisa lang siya so stop dreaming..! "

Saway pa ni Austin dito.

" Yeah, because she's a cute little baby I wanted to take care of her too --"

" Shut up! And go to hell! "

Naiinis na banat ni Austin dito dahilan para matawa si Lance she adjust her cap at napangiti Austin push the plate of fries in front of her.

" Eat more baby girl para tumangkad kapa"

Biro pa nito at napasimangot siya but she still eat the fries nang mahagip nang mata niya si Jenna.

She's with someone now kagaya nilang freshman din si Rica at Hilary but Rica and Hilary just glared at her at nag iwas naman nang tingin si Jenna.

After that incident ay iniiwasan na siya nito.

..

"Jenna.. let's talk --"

"I don't want to hear anything from you Cass, so get lost"

"Jenna what did I do?"

Hindi niya maintindihan dito, Jenna was avoiding her since that day at galit na galit ito lagi sakanya she tried to talk to Jenna but she was just glaring and ignoring her, but it was all of Jenna's idea.

Alam niya ang purpose nito na magpapansin kay Austin ngunit embes na mapansin ay hindi ito pinansin ni Austin.

"What did you do? Huh! You know it sa ating dalawa ako naman talaga ang may gusto kay AK pero bakit inagaw mo siya?"

"H-hindi ko siya inagaw Jenna,AK likes me and he told me that--"

" At naniwala ka naman leaving me alone at nagpapakasaya ka! Yeah right magsaya ka, I already hate you by the way! "

Jenna pushed her dahilan para ma out of balance siya at matumba.

" Cass! "

It was AK voice from behind her na agad siyang dinaluhan, kita niya ang kaba sa mukha ni Jenna.

" What the hell are you doing?! "

Galit na nagtaas nang boses si Austin kay Jenna na halatang kinabahan.

Jenna turned around at nagmamadaling umalis papalayo sa kanila.

" Baby girl are you ok?"

Masuyong tinulungan siya ni Austin para makatayo.

She nodded but she wanted to cry, pinagpag ni Austin ang damit niyang nadumihan and held her hands.

"It's fine..you don't have to grieve for a toxic friendship Cass,she didn't deserve your tears, I'm here ok? "

AK gently caress her face she nodded pero hindi parin maalis sa isip niya ang nangyari so AK let her rode his motorbike.
