ENGAGED WITH THE RICH BULLY

Chapter 28

Ace Pov

I was just standing here near the entrance watching Zaes, getting mad. Sinipa sipa nya pa yung maliit na bato at nag mura pa, pftt! cute,  She's goddamn mad.

“kainis ka Acezakel...” she shrugged and started walking.

“Your so cute when you get mad babe.... pfft!”

automatiko syang napalingon sa gawi ko “bullshit kanina ka pa jan?” she asked. I walk slowly toward her and leaned my head like I'm asking her na kanina pa ako dito.

“Yeah kind of.”

“Una na ko.” mataray ngang tugon sakin.

I laugh and shook my head

“My baby is mad?”

“obvious ba?” sarkastikong aniya. Napa buntong hininga na lamang ako at hinila sya papasok sa loob ng venue. Tinungo namin kong saan ang pwesto na namin nina Migo, Kalix, Jay at ang mga friends nya.

Pinaupo ko sya sa tabi ko at binigyan sya ng juice baka kasi nauuhaw na sya. Minute's had past at nagsisimula na ang graduation night. Hindi nya pa din ako kinakausap.

“Babe?  mahigit isang minuto ka nang hindi nagsasalita mapapanis na yang laway.” sambit ko sakanya, nilungon nya ako at tinitigan ng malalim, nilabanan ko nmn ang kanyang titig sadyang nailang lang talaga ako kaya napaiwas na lamang ako ng tingin sa kanya.

“kahit ba panis na ang laway ko, would you still kiss me?” I automatically gulp and look at her, she was smiling at me na parang nag hihintay ng sagot ko.

“Ano ka? Hindi kita hahalikan pag panis na ang laway mo no, baka may virus pa yang dala, yukkk.” pangaasar ko, hinampas hampas nya ang balikat ko, habang ako natatawa lng sa kanya.

Its almost half an our natagalan lng kasi may nag peperform pa sa stage, nasa harapan lng din ang paningin nya habang ako nmn ay panay sulyap sa kanya, she’s so pretty damn so pretty.

Tinatawag na ang mga may honors at syempre ang mga valedictorian at salo.
And I'm one of the salo. si mommy ang sumamang umakyat sakin sa stage, she was so proud of me.

I'm also proud at Zaes so much, shes valedictorian and She'll finally achieving her dream as an architect, both of us will achieve our dream.

Natawag na kaming lahat except for Zaes.

“Congratulation to all 4th yr collages who graduated to night, and a speech from our valedictorian,  miss Gozon–Shin please kindly go up–stage.” the mc said at bumaba na ng stage.

I hold her hand first at pinisil iyon ng mahina “God Luck, kaya mo yan. I love you.” she look then smile at me at agad nmng tumayo at tinungo at stage. i can see in her eyes na kinakabahan sya pero I know na kaya nya yan.

I have trust on her, kaya hindi nako mag aalala dahil alam na alam kong kayang–kaya nya yan.

Zaes Pov

Habang nag lalakad sa steps ng hagdan paakyat sa stage ay wala akong maramdam na takot, why? E kasi anjan si Ace e kaya hindi nako na takot or nahiya.

Inilagay ko sa stand ang papel na kong saan nandon ang ginawa kong speech  I also fix the mic before starting “Good evening student, I Zaestrille Yain Gozon–Shin the valedictorian of 4th yr collage. All congratulations to you all now this is the start, the start of our dream the start of our achievement. Lets all walk to the future were our career and dream waiting,” i paused for a second at lumanghap ng hangin “finally, we reached this special moment that marks the end of our academic life. Ang pag aaral ay parang hagdan din. Hindi ka makadating sa tuktok nito, kung Hindi ka dumaan sa una, pangalawa, pangatlo Hanggang sa huling baitang. Your sacrifices, hardwork and perseverance to reach your dream and succeed the ladder of education has finally completed.”
