Noah's POV:
I literally lied. I actually wanted to know his excuses, whatever it is. I wanted to know what's reason behind it, there must be something that he keeps by himself.
My brows were furrowed as I made my way towards the parking lot where I left my car, pumasok ako sa loob at agad na sinarado ang pinto. I stared at the steering wheel as I recall what we fought about just now.
I grunted, hinilamos ko ang mga palad ko sa mukha ko at sumandal sa kinauupuan ko.
"What's wrong with him?" I sighed heavily and looked at my passenger seat, pinilig ko agad ang ulo ko nang bigla kong nakita si Jury na nakaupo doon. I must be so crazy to the point that I'm already hallucinating about him.
I took out my phone and contacted Chase.
"Hellooow, my dearest friend. What is it that your robot wanted to tell me this time?"
"Let's go to the party."
He was muted for a second.
"Hello? D-Did I just heard you talking with your voice in a call?"
I rolled my eyes, "Wherever it is located, I'm in."
"What the hell, dude? All of a sudden? I'm babysitting Chanel right now... And she's already gone! I can't come!"
"She's 20 for fuck's sake, can't you just leave her be?" Naiinis kong tanong.
"Woah, woah, woah. I have responsibilities as a brother, Noah. I can't come today, I need to look for that brat."
"Fine." I just ended the call without saying goodbye, I tossed my phone on the passenger seat and put on my seatbelt. Umalis nalang ako sa café at nagmaneho papunta sa highway.
Where am I gonna go this time? It's not I can come alone at a freaking party thrown by a complete stranger.
Napatingin ako sa labas ng bintana nang makarinig ako ng ingay, I just stare at the ambulance that's making its way at the opposite way of the road. I just shook my head and continued to drive.
Binuksan ko ang radyo at huminga nang malalim nang marinig ko ang kanta, I closed my eyes for a second before eyeing at the road again.
Nang makahinto ako sa likuran ng sasakyan ay may kinuha ako sa dash, the traffic lights just turned red so I guess I can freely smoke for a bit.
Kinuha ko ang isang kaha ng sigarilyo at inalog 'yon, I tsked when I guessed that it's probably 1 stick left. I took out the remaining stick and light it up with a lighter, binuksan ko ang bintanang katabi ko at binuga ang usok sa labas. I stare at the road with a bored eyes while I continued to smoke silently.
It's been months since I last smoked, I became focused on studies before that's why I couldn't even spend a time to do it...
But what if Jury doesn't like smokes from a cigarette?
"Fuck." I groaned, I just rolled my eyes and tossed the cigarette at the road. Nawalan na ako ng gana nang pumasok sa isip ko 'yon.
I should be mad at him, he didn't even tell me the reason why he keeps on pushing me away whenever he's with someone that he knows...
But what if... What if he doesn't really likes smokers?
"What the fuck is wrong with me?" Iniling-iling ko nalang ang ulo ko bago muling nagmaneho nang makita kong nag-berde na ang kulay ng traffic lights.
If he doesn't want me to know the reason, then fine. I don't want to push myself to someone that's not even interested with me meeting his friends.
My eyebrows furrowed when I suddenly got a call in the middle of my driving, I stopped the car at the side of the road and picked up the call.
