DEVYN
I'm currently under a tree, leaning my back against the trunk. This is where we usually hang out with Brynn and the girls after-school. But the three had some businesses to do. Pat and Dazz are with their club mates, doing some club-ish stuff. While Brynn is in the Music room probably rehearsing her music numbers for the Annual Music Appreciation.
Kakatapos lang ng ICUSM, almost a week ago, kaya marami na kaming oras ngayon para magpahinga. Bawi para sa mga araw na subsob kami sa practice.
As I released a sigh, my mind drifted back to the talk we had with us girls and Brad three days ago. It was about Brynn and August.
Pinatong ko ang isang kamay ko sa kaliwa kong binti habang nakahawak naman sa bag ko ang kanan. I clicked my tongue and scowled, I still can't believe what she just told us that day.
August and Heartley, in one bed, both half-naked, in an intimate position— I— I just— I just can't believe it.
"Damn," I muttered underneath my breath.
I mean, I couldn't blame August. Heartley is one perfect creation. God took time to sculp every part of her, not just to be perfect physically but also internally. But I'm not into her, I'm already into someone. I'm just stating the truth. But that's not the point here, the point is. . .
"Nothing really is the point here. Nothing is wrong. Nothing is going bad. Everything is normal."
There, I said it.
Kahit ilang beses pa man akong maghanap ng mali sa ginawa ni August ay wala akong makita. Kahit saang anggulo ko man tingnan, lahat bumabagsak lang sa 'So what if they almost made love? They're both single. They don't have commitments with other people.' na thought.
That's exactly the thing that's going on in my head this past few days aside from school and Marie. Pero kasi, hindi ko lang maiwasang mag-isip— aware si August sa nararamdaman para sa kanya ni Brynn, shouldn't she just have told her to stop her feelings for her because no, there's no chance for them and she already have her eyes on someone?
'Yan ang dahilan bakit naiinis ako sa kanya. Somehow, it crossed to my mind that she's leading my bestfriend into something. Except that something is actually nothing.
As I slumped my back flat to the ground, my eyes caught something not far from where am I.
'Is that Heart?'
Wow, it's really her. Hindi ko sya nakita nitong mga nakaraang araw na pinagtaka namin. She's the Student Council Vice-president, I wonder what's her reason for not attending school this past few days. Tinanong ko si Cedrick kung nasan sya o kung bakit hindi sya pumapasok, but even him, doesn't know why.
So I grab my bag, stood up, and patted my butt before marching towards her direction but immediately halted when I thought; Why am I planning to talk to her?
Bakit ko nga ba sya pupuntahan? Ano namang sasabihin ko? Oh gosh.
Inikot ko ang mga paa ko bago pa man nya makita para bumalik sana pero huli na ng tinawag nya 'ko bago pa man ako maka-isang hakbang.
'Shit.'
I turned towards her, awkwardly grinning. "Hey,"
Binaba nya ang phone nya at payak ang ngiting nagtungo sa 'kin. I cleared my throat.
"You didn't go home yet?" she asked.
"Yeah. The girls are still inside the campus, I'm hoping one of them will go out early so I can go home with them atleast." sagot ko. Tumango lang sya. "Ikaw, you didn't went to school this past few days. What's up? Is something wrong?"
