He who she loves

Chapter 8

"Your exam will start tomorrow,  I'll dismiss you early today to review. Study well okay?

"Yes sir" sabay sabay naming sagot.

Lalabas na sana ako ng biglang hatakin ni Liam ang bag ko.

"Let's eat" maikling tugon nito

There something about you that caught my eyes 

Kapag naaalala iyon hindi ko maiwasan na hindi pamulaan ng mukha. 

"Alexander asked me to come with you" 

Ahh. Akala ko pa naman ay kaming dalawa lang kakain. Joke. Napaka feelingera ko naman porket niyayaya nya ako mag date last time. 

"I need to go home, marami pa ako irereview" sagot ko.

He smirked. "Let's go."

I have no choice but to come with him because he's grabbing my bag.

Tumigil ako sa aking paglalakad dahil papunta na kami sa parking lot.

"Akala ko ba kasama natin sila Alexander?"

He didn't answered. He grabbed my hand at kinaladkad talaga ako papasok sa sasakyan niya.

"Saan tayo pupunta?" 

It's just the two of us of pete's sake! Sobrang lakas ng kabog ng aking dibdib.

"Eat" simpleng sagot nito at pinaandar na ang kanyang sasakyan.

This isn't exactly what I had in mind years ago.

I'm content looking at him from afar. I didn't think I would be given this chance to be with him, alone.

"Is there something you would like to eat?" The coldness in his voice makes me shiver but my heart pound at the same time.

"I like to eat something sweet," I answered.

"I don't like sweets unless it was made my by sister"

He just opened up to me. Right?

But I heard, Liam's sister is really a good cook. 

"Ganon ba. Let's get some burger nalang if you like" 

I know na mapili sa pagkain si Liam. I never saw him finished his food kapag kumakain siya sa cafeteria. When we ate outside last time sobrang konti lang din ng kinain niya.

Hindi na siya sumagot. His careful eyes were on the road. 

Nag take out lang kami ng pagkain ni Liam. Sobrang dami nga niyang binili na mga chicken nuggets, fries and burger. When in fact kaming dalawa lang naman. Hindi ko alam kung saan pa kami pupunta dahil nag drive lang siya ng nag drive.

"Is everything okay?" I asked him. He kept taking a deep breath and I knew something was wrong. 

I know masyado na akong nagiging pakialamera, but I want to know what's bothering him. 

He sighs. "Everything was so painful and I don't know why."

"I have everything but I feel like something was missing and I can't find what it was"

He stopped the car and opened the window. "I guess I'm just convincing myself that I'm okay, because really, all I want is for them to see the things that I'm holding back."

I was speechless, first because I didn't imagine na he'll say that in front of me, the things that kept bothering him. Second, was because

Akala ko masaya si Liam sa buhay na meron siya ngayon dahil napapalibutan siya ng mga tao na mahal na mahal siya.
