Ouch. Bakit nga pala ako nag-eexpect? As if namang magugustuhan niya ako. I'm just the Audrey geek best friend for him. Nothing more, nothing less.
"So I'm telling you this because I'll ask you a favor."
Favor? Anong favor? "What is it?"
"Pwedeng ilakad mo ko kay Marielle?"
Double Ouch. Just thinking of them being together.. hurts like hell.
"S-sure." Whoa, that is the bravest thing I've ever said.
"Thank you Audrey." he said and grinned.
"Um, if you wouldn't mind, punta lang akong CR ah. Mauna ka na sa classroom." I said. Hindi ko alam kung napansin ni Xander na teary-eyed ako. Probably not. Pumunta akong CR and washed my face.
Nang bumalik ako ng classroom, nakita kong nag-uusap sila Xander at Marielle. I felt a pang of jealousy na dapat hindi ko maramdaman.
It's so hard to fall and there's no one to catch you.
Dismissal na namin. So, as usual, hinihintay ko si Xander. Nilabas ko yung Physics book and started to study for our quiz tomorrow. Hay, wala ako sa mood. I sighed then someone called my name.
"Hey, you again." sabi ko.
"Nasaan si Xander? Wala pa?" he asked.
"Obviously. Nandito siya, nandito siya, nakikita mo naman diba?"
He chuckled. "How are you related to Xander?"
"Why do you ask?" Hm, pansin ko lang nababakla na ata 'to kay Xander ah.
"At Miss Tan, I'm not gay." he added. Whoa, mind reader?
"Whatever." Tapos hindi ko na siya pinansin. Hindi niya rin ako pinansin.
Then there goes Xander, all sweaty from B-ball practice.
"Audie and Jared." Xander called.
Ngumiti naman ako sa kanya and he smiled back. Natutunaw ako. Gee.
"Xander, diba pupunta tayo sa arcade ngayon?" sabi ni Jared.
"Oh shoot. Oo nga pala. Pakisabi kay Sam hindi ako sasama. May lakad kami ni Audie eh."
Oh? Talaga? He looked at me. "Ay, yeah. Oo." I said.
Jared nodded. "Okay. Sige, bye."
Naiwan ako with Xander. "So..?" He smiled at me and hinawakan ang shoulders ko. "Lika, punta tayong park." he said.
"Oh okay.." I said. Alam ko naman kung ano ang reason kung bakit kami pupunta doon.
"Tell me something about Marielle na hindi ko alam." he said.
