Chapter 10
1155 Words
The whole day my mood is on sour. The reason why? I don't know.
Ugh! So annoying! Maybe because my period is coming? I don't know. I don't know at all.
"Kanina kapa naka simangot, may umaway ba sayo? May problem ba kayo sa house? Or what?" Keisha asked again for the nth time. Parang every hour tinatanong niya yan.
I just layed my head down on table. Nandito kami ngayon sa cafeteria. It's already lunch but i don't feel like eating. I just wanna go home.
"Naku, baka nag-away sila ng boyfie niya? Sino ba boyfie mo? May babae? Tara umapakan na ba?" Tinignan ko ng masama si alisha. She really is a bad girl. Pero wala siyang ka away, it's just that her aura talks about her personality. Kapag may umaaway sa amin siya palagi yung humaharap. Attitude siya ehh.
"Lakongboyfriend at lakosamood. Tahimik kayo." walang emosyon at dire-diretso kong sabi. Nagkatinginan silang tatlo na parang iisa lang ang nasa isip nila.
"Ahh period is waving." keisha
"Ano gusto ng katahimikan? Ano skip tayo?" Alisha, sometimes her mouth is speaks like a bad influence pero hanggang salita lang naman, masyadong studious to ehh.
"Triya, gusto mo chocolate? You know when i have my period i always eat chocolate to lift my mood up, and to ease my dysme. Hihi" si gesiah, with her angelic and soft voice. She's so mahinhin talaga.
"Duh! Parang 'di niyo naman kilala yan, ginawa niyo na dati yan ehh, effective ba?" patawa-tawa pang sabi ni keisha, ansaya niya ehh nu? Patawa-tawa pa sarap sabunutan.
Tinitigan ko siya, she smiled at me sweetly while doing the 'beautiful eyes'. Inirapan ko siya and i acted like i am vomiting.
"Eww, disgusting face." arte ko pa at tinabunan yung mga mata. Tinignan niya naman ako ng masama at sinabunutan ng mahina na ikinatawa ko.
Natapos kaming mag lunch at bumalik naman ako sa pagiging tupakin ko. Wala talaga ako sa mood. Ano bang nangyayari sakin.
We were walking on our way to the classroom when i told them na mag c-cr ako. I gave them my things at pinauna na sila sa room, halata naman kasing ayaw kong magpasama at alam na nila yon nu.
I was about to enter the girls restroom ng makasalubong ko si keiro na lumabas ng boys restroom.
"Keiro!" Tawag ko sakanya ng nilampasan niya lang ako. Hindi niya ako pinansin at patuloy lang siyang naglakad na parang walang narinig.
Hinabol ko siya at hinaklit sa braso paharap sa akin.
"Keiro..." i called his name again when he faced me, but didn't bothered to look at my face. He's just looking at the direction where he was about to go.
"Are you avoiding me?" i asked calmly, kanina wala ako sa mood makipag-usap pero ngayon ang daldal ko sa kanya ni hindi niya naman ako kinakausap.
Still no reponse from him. I frown while looking at him.
"Is it because of yesterday? Did i do wrong, yesterday? If ever i did, i'm sorry, okay?" i looked at him trying to catch his eyes but he really is avoiding to have an eye contact with me. I feel like my heart plump because of his reaction.
"Will you please, talk to me? If i did something wrong to you, tell me? I don't like having this heavy feeling all the time." i looked at his eyes begging. Begging for his forgiveness if ever i did wrong, for him to look at me, to talk to me.
I think i looked like a desperate girl begging for his attention. I should stop this right? We're not even that close for me be this affected.
I take my hand back and turn my back. Trying to hold back my tears i started walking. I don't know where to go anymore. Why am i so affected when it comes to him? Una sa milktea, like it's an accident, why? Tapos ng acquaintance ball when i saw him smiling at someone. Then now, that i'm feeling that he is avoiding me. Like, so what, right? We are not a thing, we're not close. I don't even know if he likes to be friend with me?
I know i can't be friend with everyone but i always tried to be when that someone is just a meter way from me. I don't know but i will accept it if he don't wanna be friends with me. It's just that i can't accept the fact that i'm affected because of him. He rejected me not just once but maybe 2?3? I don't know. He keep on rejecting me, but i still keep on forcing myself to him.
Looking straight, i felt my tears fall down from my eyes. I instantly wipe it away and look up a bit to stop my tears from falling more. I turned my way out of his sight when i felt a sudden hold on my arms. I looked back and i was shocked when i saw him.
Worried and guilt are written on his face. I stared at him, familiarizing his expression. This is the second time that he showed his face with emotions. He's always the cold Mr. Sungit guy with his blank emotion and stared.
"I'm sorry." My shocked went more when i heard him, again apologizing.
"I should be the one saying sorry. Sorry if i keep on bothering you, sorry if i'm being annoyin---" hindi ko na natapos yung sasabihin ko ng bigla siyang nagsalita.
"I was worried! To you... L-last n-night. I told you to text me when you got home. I waited, i even tried to look for the drivers contact but i failed. I t-thought something bad happened to you." My heart softened and i felt like there's something caressing it. I look at him with my soft expression. I was about to hold his cheek but i stop my self.
I smiled at him, looking straight in to his eyes.
"Thank you. Really. And i'm sorry if i'm not able to text you last night. My parents surprise me last night, i did not expect them to be home yesterday because they went to a business trip abroad. I was about to text you and inform you, really. But i forgot it." I explain to him.
His cold aura disappeared and was place with a relief and bright expression.
"Good to hear that." He only said. A moment of silence between us before we heard the bell, a sign that the class are about to start.
We smiled at each other at sabay na tumakbo papuntang classroom. Natawa pa kami ng muntik na kaming madapa. We sneaked at the back door slowly and silently. Nang makaupo ay bumaling ako sa likuran at nagkatinginan kami at sabay ring bumungisngis.
And that... Made my day back to normal, without sour mood, just a happy and genuine smile, plastered on my face.
