"What happened last day?" Shana asked when I stepped inside the club room. She looks really worried. "Jed said that you had an emergency. Are you okay? Did something hurt?" She asked annd came near me scanning my face. Ngumiti ako at saka umiling. I wanted to tell her the truth, but my boyfriend and I agreed to make it secret to everyone. We wanted to live in peace.
Yup. Eventually, Pau agreed to do that boyfriend-girlfriend thing. I also explained to him what happened the day he saw Kuya hugging my hand. That includes the fact that Kuya Dave is my sibling. Seriously, saan ko nakuha 'yung lakas ng loob na 'yun?
"Your face is red Joerrelle. Are you sure that you're okay?" I get back with the reality when Bentley spoke up. Automatic akong napatitig sa screen ng laptop sa harapan ko. It was off so I can see my reflection clearly. Right, my face is flushed!
"I'm hot." I reasoned out and turned my laptop on. Bentley gets up from his seat para palakasin ang aircon. I almost hit myself. Nakaabala pa ako ng tao. I was just staring at him when my phone vibrated. Kinuha ko 'yun mula sa mesa. Awtomatiko akong napangiti nang makita ang pangalan ni Paulo sa screen.
From: Paulo
Omw to school.
He's updating me even I am not asking for it.
Nag-reply lang ako sa kanya bago nag-focus sa ginagawang paper. Kapag umaga nandito lang talaga kaming lahat sa club room para magkakasamang gumawa ng requirements after our morning routine. Kapag hapon, saka pa lang nagkakaroon ng practice. Inaabot pa nga kami ng gabi.
"Good morning, Jed!" Shana greeted when he went inside. I laughed when Adi completely ignored her and headed towards his seat. He seems sick.
"Are you okay?" Oliver asked towards Adi but he just leaned on the table. Shana and Harper stare at each other and both shook their heads.
"How did he become a team captain when he's so carefree like this?" Iiling-iling na saad ni Kyler at saka tumawa. Naglukot siya ng papel at saka binato si Adi sa ulo. Nagtawanan kaming lahat. Asar naman na iniangat ni Adi ang tingin. His eyes are both red. He's obviously suffering from hangover right now.
Tahimik akong lumabas ng club room para bumili ng kape nang walang nakakapansin. I had tons of pain reliever on my bag because of my fractured arm.
Tahimik akong bumalik sa club room at saka walang salitang ibinaba sa harapan ni Adi ang kape at ang gamot na nakuha ko na sa bag. He lifted his head and looked at me. "What is this for?" He unbelievably asked. I shrugged and carried my bag with me before storming out of the club room to attend my class.
Days goes by until Sunday came. I freed my schedule so Pau and I would have our time together. First date.
I woke up early for no reason.
Alright, I admit. I am excited to see him. As my boyfriend. In a date. I mean we've been together with a lot of things but as classmate and friends. This is something different. It feels different. I just wore a floral shoulder tie dress and a pair of white sneakers. I even side braided my hair. I stared on the mirror. My casts were removed last day. I looked really fine, but the doctor said, I should be careful.
