The Nerd is a Legendary Gangster?!

Chapter 12 - The Reason (part 1)

Hi! I hope you guys like this chapter!

Dedicated to DianneLaragan.

Oh right... Hindi na ito yung continuation ng flashback nila sa "Love and Memories". Bagong flashback naman to. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

= JADE'S POV =

Nakatulog ako sa balikat ni Raven. At ito ako ngayon, nananaghinip. Reminiscing the old days. Pero habang ginagawa ko yun, naaalala ko nanaman yung time na nasaktan at napahamak si Raven ng dahil saakin. Yun yung dahilan kaya naging ganster ako... Ganito kasi yun...

=== FLASHBACK ===

"Moooommmmm!!!!!! I don't want to go!" I said to mom while whining.

Well, she wants us to go to the States. Grandpa wants me and Kuya Jake to visit them there. He wants us to be with them and... Oh, you'll know later. But I don't want to go... Well, not that I want to be with my grandparents, I just don't want to leave without Raven.

"Why, honey? Your grandpa ang grandma are waiting for us there. They want to see you and Kuya Jake. They miss you guys. Why don't you want to go there? Is there a problem?" mom asked a little worried.

"Yes. There is a problem. And that problem is we're going to the States tomorrow." I said then scrunched my face up. I'm really annoyed right now.

"Just tell me why you don't want to go. I'll settle it before we go there." mom said assuringly.

"Really? You'll settle it?" I said while a little by little, a smile is forming in my face.

"Yes. I'll settle it." mom said while nodding.

"Promise?" - me.

"Yes. I promise. Now, what is the thing that bothers you?" - mom.

"Well..." I trailed off and went closer to mom's ears to whisper her the reason. "The reason I don't want to go to the States is that, I don't want to leave Raven. If we're going, it's either I stay or he leaves with us. That's what bothers me. A lot." I whispered it to mom and ran to my room.

Nung nakapasok na ako sa kwarto ko, kinuha ko agad yung phone ko. Pinindot ko yung speed dial #3 ang #1 and 2 ko kasi ay sina mommy at daddy. After 1 ring may sumagot na agad.

"Jade? Hey..." he said in a soft voice. It makes me melt. *sigh*

"Will you please come here? I want to talk to you if that's okay." - me.

"Yep. I'll be there in 30 minutes. Kailangan--" pinutol ko yung sinabi niya. Baka babaan agad ako tapos hindi ko pa nasabi yung dapat kong sabihin. Which is...

"Dala ka din ng extra clothes mo. Sleepover ka dito. Pleaaaseeee. ^3^" sabi ko habang nag pa-pouty lips. Hindi niya naman ako makikita eh. And besides, I don't really want him to see me like that. It's embarassing. But sometimes, I can't resist pouting in front of him.

= RAVEN'S POV =

"Dala ka din ng extra clothes mo. Sleepover ka dito. Pleaaaseeee. ^3^" nai-imagine ko na nagpa-pout nanaman siya. Everytime na naiisip o nakikita ko yun, bibigay na ako. It's my weakness.
