Chapter 20

"Sera, nabalitaan mo na ba?"

"Ang ano?"

"Yung bagong estudyante na si Cora, may gusto raw kay Zain. Mamaya daw liligawan niya raw si Zain. Siya raw mismo!"

Napatingin ako kay Ivy sa sinabi niya. What the heck?

"Ivy huwag mo akong binibiro ng ganyan." Pagod kong sagot sakaniya.

"Mukha ba akong nagbibiro?" Magsasalita pa sana siya ng biglang nagtakbuhan ang mga tao sa hallway kaya nataranta rin kami.

"Nagsimula na ata si Cora." Sabi ni Ivy.

Students started to gather to the cafeteria. I started to go there without any hesitations and saw Cora kneeling down in front of Zain.

Cora saw me but she ignored me and continue. Zain was in deep shock, hindi niya alam kung anong gagawin niya.

Mabait na tao si Zain, hindi niya kayang mapahiya ang isang tao dahil lang sa sakaniya.

"Uh, tumayo ka d'yan Cora." Sambit niya.

"Ayoko, not unless you accept my feelings for you. I like you Zain! I really like you!" Sabi ni Cora habang nakatingin kay Zain.

For some reason... I felt jealous...

I don't even know why I feel jealous. Or I don't know if 'jealous' is the exact word to describe what I feel for now. Because... we are nothing, we're not in a relationship. I should stop reacting this way. It's just so childish...

Being like this won't change things, it doesn't change the fact that Cora likes Zain. I'm not a puppet master to control the feelings and actions of Cora to stop her from liking Zain. Nor Zain is not a thing to be owned, he's not mine.

Actually, my feelings for him isn't clear yet. I don't know if I like him as a friend or as a romantic person. Do I have feelings for him? Do I like him? Do I want to be in a relationship with him?

There are a lot of questions that I want to ask but even I, myself, can't even answer those questions. It's hard for now. But maybe sooner or later I can answer those questions...
