Until Our Paths Cross Again [COMPLETED]

Chapter 43: PROM DAY

                       EROLL POV;

            TODAY is friday. And today was our prom. I really didn't want to come, but Alexa keep telling me to come kaya pumayag narin ako. Bumaba ako ng living room, at nagulat ako ng makita si Kendal na nakaupo doon. What is she doing here? Napatingin naman sya sakin saka lumapit.

“Oh, long time no see lil bro” she said akmang aakbay sana pero naglakad na ako palapit sa fridge.

“Tsk,” yan nalang ang natugon.

Ininom ko na ang kinuha kong bottled water. Saka naglakad papunta sa couch atsaka naupo doon.

“Hey aren't you happy to see me?” tanong nya pa naka pout.

“Hindi. At bakit ka nga pala napauwi dito sa pilipinas?”

“Well, mom told me to take care the company here habang nag aaral ka pa daw.” she said saka naupo sa couch kaya naupo din ako sa tabi nya.

“How's mom and Shawn doing?”

“Don't worry, they're doing fine”

Tumayo sya at tila ba may hinahanap. Umubo ako para makuha ang atensyon nya at di naman ako nabigo. Tsk, the annoying girl is here.

“What are you looking for?” tanong ko.

“Do you have speaker here?”

“No I don't,”

“Pfftt.. Ang laki laki ng bahay tapos di ka man lang bumibili ng speaker. What kind of house is this... So boring” she said.

“Here, music is strictly forbidden”

“HAHAHAHA says who?”

“By me,”

She samiled sweetly at me. “Don't worry lil bro, we're gonna have such a wonderful time together”

“Wish we're not” I said and stood up.

Naglakad ako paakyat ng hagdan ng nasa kalagitnaan palang ako narinig ko syang tinawag ako.

“I heard prom night nyo later, sasama ako!” sigaw nya.

“Wag na,” I said saka pumasok sa kwarto ko.

Always kong naaalala yung mga pinagusapan nila at Eugene at Kourtney. Did that Eugene really asked Kourtney to be his partner? And it seems Kourtney very happy.

I waited at my room until it's already 6:30 saka na ako nag asikaso. Naligo, nag tootbrush, nagbihis na ako ng suotin ko sa prom ngayon. Nag aayos ako ng necktie when suddenly my phone rang and Alexa's name was flashing on the screen. Sinagot ko yun at tinapat sa tenga ko ang phone ko.

“Hello?” pagsagot ko.

“Are you going to pick me up?”

“Nah, just go straight to University”

“Oh, O-Okay” she said so I hang up.

Why would I pick her up? And first of all ayoko naman talagang sumama. Pero pinilit nya lang ako, atsaka wala akong time para sunduin sya, lalo na kasama ko pa kapatid ko. And I know that they didn't get along.

After ko mag asikaso ay nagtungo na ako sa baba. Napaikot ko nalang ang mga mata ko sa hangin, nang makita ko si Kendal na bihis na bihis.

“Tsk, what are you wearing? As if naman special guest ka sa prom namin”

“Come on brother, who knows? Hahhaahah” she laughed.

“Tsk,”

“Why? Maganda ba?”

“Yung suot mo maganda pero yung nag susuot panget” I said saka naglakad palabas.

“Hmph! As if naman gwapo ka sa suot mo!” she shouted.

Pumasok sya sa loob ng kotse ko kaya pumasok narin ako, at nagmaneho papunta sa University. Nang makarating na ako sa University ay pinark ko na sa parking lot ang kotse ko. Saka kami bumaba ni Kendal, she tapped my shoulder and wink at me.

“See you around lil bro” she said and walked away.

I looked around and saw Kourtney and Eugene talking and exchanging  smile to each other. I just sighs. I didn't rush things, because I know what meant for you always find a way to be with you. And it was on my plan to fall inlove, I just fell for her without me knowing it either.

Napatingin ako sa gilid ko ng may kumapit doon. At nakita ko si Alexa.

“Oh, kanina kapa?” she asked. I just shooked my head.

Naglakad na kami papunta sa may pwesto nila. Napatingin naman ako sa pwesto nila Achilles at kasama nila sila Kourtney at mga kaibigan nito. Alam kong mas uunahin ng mga kaibigan ko ang mga jowa nito kesa sakin. Atsaka ayos lang naman sakin, kasi nagpaalam naman sila sakin.

“Okay guy! Are you having fun!” saad ng student president namin.

“YEESSSSS!” malakas na sagot naman ng mga students.

“Before our prom officially start, let me just introduce our special guest and the very beautiful co-founder of our school” Tugon ulit nya. “Let's all give around of applause to Miss Kendal Ellaire Valeria!”

And with that Kendal stepped up to stage and waved her hands. I knew it! And what he just said?! A very beautiful?! He gotta be kidding me!

Narinig ko nalang ang pag gasp ni Alexa kaya napatingin ako sakanya. Oo nga pala, ayaw talaga sakanya ni Kendal I don't know why pero sa tuwing nagkikita silang dalawa, my sister blood was boiling.

As my eyes accidentally land on  Kourtney's table, I saw Eugene took Kourtney's hand and take her to the dance floor. I grab Alexa's hand and took her to the dance floor too. Nasa bilog kaming form ng students with partner, ito yung tipong lilipat ng ibang partner yung girls habang tumutug tug. Kaya pumuwesto ako sa katabi ni Eugene para sakin lumipat si Kourtney.

When the music start, we started dancing too while si Alexa pa ang partner ko. And this is it, nang lipatan na ng partner, Kourtney landed on my body. I smirk and pulled her against my body, so I can feel her breath too because we're too close.

I know she's nervous. I just chuckled at diko kaya maalis ang mga mata ko sakanya she was totally stunning.
