TAMED #1: The Good Boy

CHAPTER 32. Harvey

I have a lot of problems. One of them is finding the right time para sabihin kay Blaze ang tungkol sa mga magulang namin. But I couldn't find the right timing.

Hindi naman siya busy. Lagi lang na may mangyayari kung magtangka akong ipagtapat sa kanya iyon. Or Sweet would always follow him around as if she was his tail.

I decided to take a walk around the campus. I am taking in the northern sceneries that I don't get to see in the east Graciana.

I didn't like Reinhart at first but it has grown on me. Natuto akong  balewalain ang mga chismosang estudyante. I learned to not give a fuck about these people. Ang importante sa akin dito sa eskwelahang ito ay sina Blaze at Maddie lang.

I filed for an application for Harvard. Hindi naman sa ambisyosa ako pero try ko lang. I have always wanted to go to an Ivy League university. It was either the Ivy League or Oxbridge. I mostly have  the requirements. Yung counselor letter lang problema ko at kailangan ko pang halos lumuhod sa counselor ng Reinhart para dun. Tapos yung sa foreign language naman... I know some French credits to my cousin who has a French best friend.

Kung hindi ako matatanggap, may North University naman dito sa Pinas.

I want to be an architect. A degree from Harvard would probably make my life easier.

Hindi ko muna sinabi kahit kanino na nag-apply ako sa Harvard. Baka hindi pa ko tanggapin no?

Bumalik na ako sa dorm nang pumatak na ang alas 10. Eight o'clock is our curfew but I don't really care. Natulog na lang ako pagkatapos kong mag-wash up.

Kinaumagahan, dahil sa gulat ko, hindi ko na sinuklay ang  buhok ko. I quickly ran to the parking lot. Tinutulak ko na lahat ng mga nakaharang sa daraanan ko para lang mabilis akong makarating doon.

Tangina naman kasi. I got a text from my cousin na pupunta siya dito ngayon.

Hiningal ako nang marating ko ang parking lot. Nakita ko na ang itim niyang BMW. Kaka-park pa lang nun. A familiar black hair and tall stature in the parking lot got out of it. Humihikab pa siya nang makalabas kaya lumapit ako sa kanya at sinuntok siya sikmura. Napaaray naman siya.

"What the hell are you doing here, Harvey?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"'Kuya'," he corrected. "Inutusan lang ako nina Lola."

Umawang ang bibig ko. "Umuwi na sila?"

"Oo. Kanina lang."

"Bakit hindi man lang nila ako sinabihan?"

"I don't know," he shrugged. "Anyway, don't you miss me? You're always avoiding me. You're hurting my heart."

I raised an eyebrow. "The thought that I don't want to see you didn't pop up in your fucked up brain? I didn't know you have a heart."

"I have a heart, Holly. I didn't have a girlfriend for 5 years if I didn't."

"Your girlfriend, or should I say, your ex always complained about you not loving her."

He smirked at me. "I should be touched.  You are concerned about me."

Umirap ako. "Ano bang gagawin mo dito by the way? Siguro naman hindi ka pumunta dito para lang nakipagchikahan sa akin?"

"Lola asked me to investigate your new boyfriend," sagot niya. "Wasn't Blaze Inclement his name? Also, are you gonna marry your future stepbro? Are you gonna do that 'What are you doing, stepbro' meme?"

Hindi na ako nagtataka na alam niya ang tungkol sa amin ni Blaze. Hindi na rin ako magtataka kung paano niya nalaman ang tungkol sa mga magulang namin. He is a gamer and he loves excitement. He probably finds this exciting. And he has his own network like Gabe does.
