CHAPTER 23

CONFUSED

Iris' POV

"He'll pay for this," I heard Zin whispered. Kitang kita ko ang galit sa mga mata niya. He hastily stood up and was about to leave when I held his wrist tightly.

"Don't be so reckless. Baka mapahamak ka," I warned him.

"You can't expect me to just stay here and allow him to continue fooling Caylee! Iris, kitang kita mismo ng mga mata mo ang kahayupang ginagawa niyang Aaron na 'yan!"

"Pagbabayarin natin siya pero hindi sa paraang naiisip mo! You can't just beat him up right now!"

"At bakit hindi? He deserves it! Hindi pa nga sapat na masira ko ang mukha niya!"

"You're so angry right now, you're even shaking! What if hindi ka makapagpigil at maging malubha ang kalagayan niya? Think about the consequences of your actions! Ang daming CCTV cameras dito! Ang daming pwedeng maging witness! Are you forgetting who you are? Isipin mo naman ang pwedeng mangyari kapag binugbog mo si Aaron ngayon. Can't you just take a deep breath and think for a second? Galit din ako, Zin! Galit na galit! Pero may mga bagay na hindi natin dapat idaan sa dahas!"

He shouted and frustratedly gripped his hair. "F*CK!"

Apparently, all the rumors were true. Totoong cheater si Aaron at nakumpirma mismo namin ni Zin.

I asked him out to talk because my mind's everywhere and I need a friend who could give me an advice. Ever since Dashiell kissed me three months ago, things became confusing for the two of us. Hindi namin pinagusapan ang nangyari dahil naiilang kaming dalawa. We just pretended it didn't happen and act the way we are before. Ang problema nga lang, madalas nagkakahiyaan na kami. We stopped jogging together every weekend. Parehas kaming laging nagbibigay ng kung ano-anong dahilan wag lang matuloy hanggang sa hindi na kami nagkayayaan.

Honestly, I don't think I can be alone with Dashiell without thinking about the kiss. Ang hirap lang dahil kahit ang dami kong tanong ay hindi ako sigurado kung gusto ko bang may marinig na sagot.

I don't know how I feel about him. I'm not sure if I really like him or I'm just attracted to him. Either way, I'm scared to figure it out. Kaya nga kahit may palaro ni Senyor ay hindi kami gaanong nagkakasama. I always stay with my friends during events and he's with his brother's group. Sila Nigel at Gio ang lagi niyang kasama.

I knew Zin would know what to say to keep my mind at peace so I told him we should meet up. Kakagaling ko lang sa school kanina dahil nagpa-picture ako for my ID. Bukas na kasi ang start ng classes for Third Year First semester.

When Zin got here, we both decided to stay at a high-end café restaurant. Sa second floor terrace kami umupo kaya naman kitang kita namin lahat ng mga dumadaan. That's when we spotted Aaron holding hands with another girl. Sobrang sweet nila at may hawak pang flowers at chocolates 'yung babae kaya hindi mapapagkailang niloloko niya nga ang kaibigan naming si Caylee. I was too shocked to take a picture and Zin's too mad to think of anything but to punch Aaron.

"Caylee won't believe us if we don't have any proof. Kilala mo siya."

"Well then let's follow that piece of sh*t!"

"Kahit may video tayo or picture tayo, iisipin niya lang na pinsan ni Aaron 'yon or 'di kaya edited 'yon. She is that blind when it comes to love. Maniniwala lang siya kung siya mismo ang makakakita."
