Shelter In You (MASVEDO SERIES #2)

Kabanata 21

Napairap ako sa kawalan ng biglang umupo si Mekael sa tabi ko.

"Problema mo gurl? Wala ka parin sa mood?" inirapan ko lang siya saka tumingin sa harap kung saan pumasok sa professor naming.

After my morning class agad akong pumunta sa bench sa likuan at doon naaghintay hanggang sa mag-start na naman ang afternoon classes ko. I am not in the mood to do everything for this past few days. I just wanna keep myself lock inside my room and sleep the whole day.

"Alam mo kung nasaan si Dave? Isang lingo na siyang absent ah. Pansin ko lang." walang pakialam ako na nagkibit balikat sa tanong ni Mekael.

Fuck that guy for vanishing like a ghost.

"Tanungin mo bestfriend niya baka may alam" mapait na sabi ko kaya tinuro niya ako saka tinawanan pero walang kahit anong sinabi.

Mekael is still laughing very hard when Oliver and Shaun came where we are. The first thing I noticed was their frowned faces.

Taas kilay ko silang tiningnan para tanungin kung ano ang ginagawa nila rito. Mekael already stops laughing.

"Mukhang okay ka naman." Sabi ni Shaun saka sandali akong tinitigan kaya napakunot ang noo ko.

What?

Nagsimula na silang humakbang paalis at ako naman naiwang naguuguluhan? Mukhang okay ako? What does he mean by that?

Bago pa sila tuluyang makalayo sandal akong ilingon ng nakasimangot na si Oliver sabay sabing..

"Your bestfriend is a snobber just like you."

After he said that I cant help myself but to let out a small laugh. Bianca once mentioned on a message that a guy named Oliver is pestering her on IG. Ayaaw ni Bianca sa makulit and Oliver is a little it like that so she doesnt like him. And she remembered Oliver because she met him here and he kind of introduced his self and Bianca said that he is annoying. Well, for me too.

Umiling ako sa tinext si Bianca tungkol sa sinabi ni Oliver. And as expected, she fired back.

"Fuck that annoying guy! Akala mo naman sobrang gwapo niya!" inis na sabi ni Bianca sa kabilang linya.

Napairap nalang ako matapos kong ibaba ang tawag. Oliver has looks too,he can be a model for sure. Bianca is just exaggerating.

One time when we are sitting in the cafeteria Mekael did a fucking stupid move and I want to straggle him to death because of that.

"Jo alam ko kung nasaan si Dave?! Curious ako alam mo na."

Biglang napatingin sa akin si Joan dahil sa tanong ni Mekael kaya agad akong nag-iwas ng tingin na parrang walang pakialam. I dont care about Dave anymore.

"Ahmm may inaayos sa Manila." Simple at parang inosente na sagot ni Joan kaya palihim ako na napairap.

"Gurl sa Manila pala." Inis kong tiningnan si Mekeal saka sinagot.

"As if I care."

Napanguso siya sa sinagot ko.

"Ate dont you miss Kuya Dave? Hes not visiting here for a week. Is he out of town or you fought Ate?" binalingan ko si Henz dahil sa sinabi niya at nakita ko siyang nakaguso habang hawak ang iPad niya.

"I dont know." Sagot ko nalang kaya mas lalong humaba ang nguso niya.

After he kissed me he just vanished without any word. I am missing him cause its almost two weeks since I last saw him. But Im more pissed. Bahala na. Unti-unti akong napahinga ng malalim ng biglang sumikip ang dibdib ko.
