Sharing My Infinite Stars With Yours

chapter 3

A very stressful day with Bry has already ended, finally! I can't really tell why is he acting so weird, dati naman nong una kami nag-kita para lang syang batong binigyan ng buhay, tapos ngayon—like hey wft!

I'm currently in Jean's house, nag-paalam ako sa parents kong mag-sleep over muna sa bahay ng kaibigan ko, beside we're gonna be doing project as well.

Pero kanina pa rin ako naka-dapa sa kama nya, ang sabi ko gagawa kami ng project pero hindi talaga mawala sa isip ko yung mga kalokohan ni Bry sakin e, it's like he was sincere about his words but in the same time it seems he was playing with my feelings...

Probably because he's serious about competing with me for running Valedictorian? But I already told him I'm not that interested at that position, I ain't even working hard cause it isn't my goal. It's just a title.

"Denise! Namiss kita"

"I'll study here obviously. And I heard you're aiming the spot to be the Valedictorian. Well sorry for you to say that I'll probably steel it from you"

"I like you..."

"I'd just said what I'm thinking, I mean it My Queen... I really like you... A lot"

"nagagalit na ang misis ko mga anak, wag kayong mag-alala mamaya gagawa ulit kami ng bagong baby"

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"I like you..."

"Arghhh!!! I hate you Bry!!!" I scream under Jean's pillow, punching the bed where I'm lying and vividly wanted to rip Bry in his ass! Nakakainis!!!

Hindi pa ako natatapos mag-wala, nag-bukas ang pinto at pumasok si kuya Henry, Jean's older brother. Kaya agad akong napaayos ng upo, at sya ring sinuklay ang buhok ko gamit ang kamay.

"K-kuya..." I shyly greet him, waving my hand. He smiled and me and nod.

"Baba ka na daw Jane, nandon na si Jean, kakain na tayo ng dinner" he gentle said, para tuloy akong nalipang, smiling like idiot.

"O-opo kuya... Hehe sunod po ako, salamat..." I nervously replied, without cutting my stares with him still smiling.

When he finally went out, don ko lang tinikom ang bibig ko at nag-simulang kiligin ang mag-balibag ng unan. Like gosh? He's my ultimate crush!!! Hihihi

For the mean time, my irritation with Bry instantly vanished. Just seeing my crush's smile lighten my mood na a split.

So yun, ayaw ko namang pinag-hihintay ang asawa ko kaya agad na bumaba na ako para daw kumain, hindi na ako bago dito since our family have connections, and Jean in I had been Bestfriend since childhood.

"Jane, you're finally here ija..." Tita said, my friend's mom.

"May gagawin po kasi kaming project ni Jean sa Science, and since kuya Hendrix is here, I'm thinking we can ask him to help us with our work"

Natawa ng mahina ang mama nya, saka tumingin sa panganay nito. "Hmm, Drix... Heard it? You'll be helping them okay? And you Henry, might not disturb them, pasaway ka pa naman"

Kuya Hendrix is a highly recommend professor in our campus, that's why we badly need his help, and my crush, Henry is the rebellious one, sya sa mag-kakapatid ang pinaka-pasaway, babaero din and more on a clubbing type of guy. Kaya nga gusto ko sya e, nakaka-thrill kasi ang mga manloloko.

Hindi na nasundan ang pag-uusap namin kasi nag-simula na kaming kumain, they were all quiet so tumahimik na lang din ako.

After the delicious dinner, we went straight to Jean's room with kuya Hendrix, nag-simula na kaming gumawa ng science project, pati na yun yung powerpoint presentation na kailangan, si kuya Drix lahat nag-revise ng mga errors namin kaya kampante kami ni Jean para sa lunes, today is Friday though.

Hindi pa kami tapos, bigla na lang tumayo si Kuya Drix kaya napatingin kami sa kanya, lahat ng gamit namin inayos nya at binitbit, habang kami ni Jean ay nanonood lang sa bawat galaw nya.

"Kuya? Bakit po?" I ask. Kinakabahan kasi ako, what if he's planning something or worse he doesn't want to continue helping us anymore?

He look at me smiling, then he turn to his watch point at it with a pout. "Tama na, almost 1am na kailangan nyo pang mag-pahinga. I'll be doing this at my room. Matulog na kayo"

Few moments has past, he's already out of the room. Nag-katinginan kami ni Jean at sabay na nag-kibit balikat.

"Ayos lang ba si kuya Drix? Sabado naman bukas, pweding tayo na lang mag-tapos non..." I said to Jean but she seems thinking that way too.

"Hindi ko rin alam e, pero mabait naman talaga yang si kuya Drix, unlike kay Kuya Henry na walang ginawa kung hindi ang mag-rebelde. Kaya ikaw Jane, wag mong papatulan kuya ko a? I know you kinda like him but promise me you won't dare to let yourself fall deeply in love with him, his a total jerk and I don't want to see you shred a tears because of him"

I pout spreading my arms on the air, motioning her to come and hug me, and she does. Yumakap ako sa kanya ng mahigpit, at pag-kabitaw ngumiti ako sa kanya showing my pinky finger to seal the promise with hers.

"I promise... I won't" yup, I'm this confident that I'm nit letting myself fall for him, his a dïck after all, I'd just wanna experience some thrill.

Patulog na kami ni Jean, when I suddenly realized I haven't updated my mom yet.

I remember telling him earlier that I will text her if I'm gonna sleep already. So here I am looking for my phone, but whatever I do to seek for it I can't find it.

My anxiety is slowly conquer me with fear. Pag hindi ko nahanap phone ko, maraming files don! Gosh, saan ko ba kasi nilagay!

Natataranta na ako kakahanap, hindi ko naman magising si Jean kasi kakatulog lang din sya halos. s**t! Wait, wala naman akong ibang pinuntahan diba—

Got it! Kuya Hendrix, took all our belongings so he could do it himself while we're about to rest! I'm positive he has my phone!

Pero pano to? I don't know where his room at, wala rin naman sana akong balak alamin but how about my mom? And how I will able to contact our house.

You can do it Denise... Think, think of a way—I look at the wall clock nearby, it's already 2:15. Pwede ko namn siguro sabihing I forgot? Or my phone lost it's batt? But I'm not fond of lying to my parents!

Bahala na, basta I have to find my phone soon as possible. I can't make even one mistake because of my careless, I don't want my parent to me disappointed at me even at once.

"Jean... Alis muna ako a? Tulog ka lang dyan, I'll be quick" I whisper at her before deciding to get out.

Nag-lalakad lang ako sa corridor, hoping to see a maid so I can easily ask it where do Hendrix sleep. Pero hindi ba nakakahiya? Baka isipin nyan, pökpok ako.

But do I have a choice—"Henry! Gosh... I'm glad I see you." I sighed of relief.

He's topless but it's not my concern, it's not like I haven't seen someone shirtless. "Hmm?" He simply hummed.

I convincingly smile at him, pressing my palm together and force my beautiful eyes to twinkle. Atleast this way I can easily ask for help without disagreement.

"U-uhm ganito kasi yun... Diba tinutulungan kami ni kuya Hendrix kanina sa ginagawa naming power point. Then suddenly, he grabbed our things and tell us that he'll do it himself so we could finally take a rest. But the problem is... I-I think he accidentally took my phone also, and now I'm wondering how will I ask him to give it back if ever na nasa kanya nga yon, when I can't even know his room."

For a moment natigilan sya, staring at me like analysing every part of me, maybe to know if I'm lying or not? But it doesn't matter! Yung phone ko!

He sighed, sipping a cup of coffee before nodding. "Sure, wait I'll just put my shirt on, Hendrix might scold me when he sees us together when I'm this unpresentable."

I just shrugged and didn't mind his statement. So what if he's topless? I didn't care. I have a crush on him, cause I like him as a thrill. Not that he attract me to much.

"S-so sasamahan mo'ko sa kwarto nya?" I gently ask.

"Oo, but in one condition" he wickedly smiled. Teka, parang Hindi ko ata gusto ang takbo ng isip nito.

"What is it then. Kasi Henry, for Good sake I haven't call my mom yet, wala pa akong update sa kalagayan ko ngayon, and I can never sleep knowing my mom is worrying about me..."

He chuckled, tapping my head—or I can say petting? Urgh! Ganon na ba talaga ako ka-cute?
