Chapter 20:Getting her back

Karl
School in Japan started.I transfered to the next door of Mai's house.I have to pass this whatever they say test.I was the only one in the house but all my 5 cars was here.Dad told me so. I weared my uniform and rided my car.I saw Mai outside of her house waiting for someone I think. I drove my car towards her. I putted down the window. "So,do you want to ride with me?" I asked. Mukhang nainis siya. But she seated in the front anyway. "So whats your relationship with Mia?" She asked.Relationship? "Im only friends with her.You are my childhood friend" I said while looking at the road. She just chorused 'oh'. "So why were you waiting outside?" I asked her. "Mia and Michelle left me and I was thinking of how would I go to school so far.Then you came out of nowhere.Where do you live anyway?" She asked. "Next door" I said. "Isnt that where Masaki lives?" She asked.So she hasnt forgot about him,but she forgotted about me.Grr. "Your other next door idiot" I said annoyed. "Im not an idiot" she said. "You are one.Wait I almost forgot,your stupid,ignorant and an idiot" I said.She really looked annoyed. "I wonder how my old self kept up with you" she said looking at the window. "Cause you love me" I whispered. "What?" She asked.Tanga pala din to.I wonder what I loved about her. "I said that I would be your personal guard" I said with a smile.Well in reality I was suppose to be your boyfriend.But the only way to get close to you is being close to you and not let other boys get your attention.This is the start of my plan. "Who said?" She asked. "I have to guard you.Its my duty" I said.I wanted to add as your boyfriend but I cant. "Fine.No changing your mind then.But dont interrupt my studies" she said.I stopped the car then parked it. We got off the car. I got her bag and walked beside her.
"Look.Theres new hotie"
"Yeah.And he is with the heart of the school girl"
"Are they in a relationship?"
I wish,you know.Thats what I wanted to reply to those girls who were whispering. We entered her classroom and I sat beside her.Mia and Michelle were beside me.Then 3 boys went in.Grr...I might kill them! "Hi Mai!" Masaki said. Mai just didnt mind him.She weared her headset.Buti nga sa yo! Flirting with my girlfriend. "Oh,its you" Masaki said giving me a deadly stare.As if it would scare me. "Good morning class" the teacher said as she went in. "Good morning miss" we all said as we bowed. Then sat down. "Guys we have a new classmate.Please introduce yourself" the teacher said. I standed up. "I am Karl Jae.I am the business partner of Mai.Plus I am her personal guard.And I am going to court her until she answers me" I said with pride as I holded her hand and dragged her into a tight hug.Then suddenly someone pulled her away from me.Good thing I was holding Mai's left hand tight. "And I Masaki Aiba will fight for Mai's heart" he said holding Mai's right hand.What the hell?!
"Wow!Its just the start of the semester and there is two hoties going to fight over Mai!"
"I wonder who will she answer at the end of the semester"
"Go team Masaki!"
"Go team Karl!"
And they started cheering. "Class sit down and keep quiet" teacher said in an angry tone.We all sat down.Si Mai tulala lang.Suprising diba? Hahaha!Plan A complete.Pero may epal naman.Hay nako!After classes Mai immediatly ran out.I went near Masaki. "Im fighting" I said. "Fair and square" he said then we shaked hands.I went out of the classroom and. Where the hell is she?!
Mai
Today is the 2nd month after that incident.I really remember everything after Youa told me after I came out of the hospital before he left.But I wanted to act like I dont remember Karl cause I want to see how will he get me back.But that really became an issue! I never expected Masaki to do that! Oh no...What trouble have I gotten into! I went on top of the school.There was like a big space on top,though students doesnt go here.So I can spend time by myself.Most relaxing place in my life! Knock knock knock Who could that be? Its been a long time since anyone came here.Better put on my acting mask. "Im not in my bedroom you know.This place is for all of the students" I said coldly.The person went in.I was looking at the sky. "The day is so nice" the person said.I didnt mind the person. "Do you know that there is a girl that I like?" He asked.Its a boy obviously.Tanga naman to.How the hell will I know? Im not him. "She is beautiful,fierce,good at academics and sports.Also she is nice but now,masungit.Though she forgot everything about me.Ang broken hearted ko naman." He said. What a person.Why is he opening up to me? Im just a stranger. "I like you" he said that made me look at him.Shock was written all over my face but I recovered quickly.The person who was opening up was Karl? I didnt know he felt that way. "Like me? I just dont get you guys.Why like me? Like you said I dont treat you nice like before" I said. "You want me to give up on you?" He asked.He got me there.I cant reply carelessly or else Ill be found out that I remember.Shoot! What to answer?? "Just joking.Ill never give up on you.I wouldnt let Masaki snatch you away.I havent told you before but Masaki is my arch enemy." He said.Thats why his reaction before was like that. "Why?" I asked. "He did a lot of things.So bad that I cant forgive him" he said.His eyes were full of anger. "What did he do?" I asked.Binitiin kasi yung explanation eh. "He stole my family's attention.He lied to me that we were going to be bestfriends forever.And now he is flirting with you.Actually he is trying to steal you from me." He said with a calm yet anger ranging inside voice.I feel bad.I never know that Masakiis like that. "But he changed" I said.What the heck?! Did I really say that?! "What do you see in him?" He asked with a suprise expression.Well who wouldnt be suprise. "Well,he became more kind.He is still annoying.He disturbs others just to get attention.Even though he is a pop star,people doesnt see him like I do.They like him by his looks and popularity.And he doesnt want that.Thats why he is going to show his true color to me." I said.I hate Masaki but why am I speaking good of him? "So do you like him?Did you change me for him?" He asked.He looked at me.I raised my hand to slap his face but I stopped when it was near his cheek.My heart do beats for Karl.But what is this feeling toward Masaki? I lowered my hand. "Im not sure" I said in a low voice. "My heart beats for you but I dont understand this feeling for Masaki" I added.He holded my hand. "Im going to make you mine" he said looking straight at me.I dont like in what position I am.Liking two boys. Then suddenly somebody pulled me into a hug.Karl's hand slided from mine gently.I looked at the person's face. Dugdug Its Masaki. "Im going to really steal her" he said in authourity in his voice.I pushed him away. "Guys give me a break." I said in a tiring voice. Then suddenly my head ached. I was moving like a drunk person towards the door. "Are you okay?" Karl asked. "Y-yeah" I said.Then suddenly darkness was covering my sight.
Karl
I carried Mai to the clinic.Masaki was just beside me.Mai fainted that why.I lied her down on the bed.She is peacefully. "Could you buy her food?" Masaki said.Who does he think he is? His not my boss.But for her,anything.I went out of the door.After I bought snacks I immediatly went back.I saw Masaki in front of the clinic. "You win" he said then passed by me. "Why?" I shouted. "She already paid the price at least" he said.What price? When I entered Mai was sitting holding her lips.
Masaki
When Karl left Mai woke up. "M-Masaki?" She said while slowly sitting down.She was about to fall again but I catched her.She sat down. "Could you stop liking me??" She asked.It hurts.Why in the world would she say that? Its only been 2 months of courting and she chose Karl? "Why?" I asked. "Its just that I realized my feelinfs toward the both of you.I like you but I love Karl" she said while holding her heart.She was also biting her lip.Is she trying to turn me on? "You have a price to pay" I said. She looked at me.Then after a few minutes she pulled my collar and our lips met.I responded to her kiss making her lie down on the bed.We were still kissing passionately.Then she stopped. "Did I met the price?"she asked.I helped her sit up again cause Karl might see us. "Yeah,but last one" I said.Before she could respond I kissed her lips once more.She putted her arms around my neck then seperated. "Done.The price was paid" she said.I went out of the clinic. It does hurt to be told by someone you love very much.But its okay since I know that she liked me at least and paid the price.She is a good damn kisser!I want more but enough is enough.At least she'll be in good hands.With my former bestfriend.
Mai
"What price did Masaki said?" Karl asked. "I kissed him." I said.His eyes showed pain. "Do you love him?" He asked me. I pulled his collar. "I love you.I just paid the price for him to leave.Plus we are still together" I whispered then kissed his lips.We kissed like theres tommorrow.I lied down on the bed.This will be so awkward when the nurse come and sees us kissing while lying down on the bed.But who cares?! This day went good somehow.The first time I said I love you to Karl and becoming his lovely girlfried once more.
