The day Logan said he will transfer to HA made me realize one thing. And I don't like that realization at all.
"Uhm, Logan pwede ba yon. Nakapag major exam na kami. Ikaw din dyan sa SL. Hindi maapektuhan ang grades mo?" I asked after his sudden news.
He didn't say anything. Tinignan ko ang cellphone ko thinking the call ended but it's not.
"You seem to have forgotten that Harden is my relative. I could use my connection." He sighs a bit exaggerated na ikinalunok ko. "And you don't sound happy, Elea. You don't want me to transfer?" he asked. Medyo dismayado ang tuno niya.
I bit my lower lip. I blinked twice and scolded myself for not sounding happy. Damn this feeling.
Tumawa ako ng mahina. "I'm happy, Logan. Why would I not. Alam mong napagalitan pa ako ni Mom dahil sa pagpasok ko sa SL noong prelim just so I could be with you. Ngayon pa ako hindi magiging masaya?"
Somehow, I convinced Logan that I'm actually happy and that I'm just a bit not feeling well kaya siguro hindi masaya ang tuno ko noong sabihin niya sa akin na magta-trasfer siya. He believed it. And I believe it too. Kasi masama naman talaga ang pakiramdam ko. I'm not feeling well because I'm thinking of someone I shouldn't. Magpakasal siya kung yan naman pala gusto niya!
Three days passed. I made myself happy thinking that maybe once Logan is finally transferred to HA, matutuon din ang pansin ko sa kanya kaya medyo umaayus ang disposition ko.
I refused to hear any news from Harden. Pati kina Wyatt at Theo. Pero sadyang mapaglaro ang tadhana. Sadyang ipinaparinig sa akin kahit ayaw ko naman.
"Fiona, I heard Wyatt was spotted earlier. Pero bakit wala sila ngayon? It's been what? Three weeks ng wala sila?" si Dana habang kumakain kami. Umirap ako ng sekreto. Who cares about them?
Fiona sighed. "I was kind of expecting them. Pero baka nga totoong naipagkasundo na si Harden. Kasi kapag wala yon, wala rin ang dalawa."
I bit my lower lip and ignored the name. Who cares?
"Ikaw ba, Eleanor. Hindi kana nakakalapit kay Harden? Hindi kana niya kailangan tungkol doon sa nerd na yon?" si Vanessa naman.
Natigilan ako sa pag irap. I was about to answer but Gabriella interrupted. "About that nerd, Elea. I heard a rumor na baka daw ikaw yong nerd? Kasi since you came, she was never spotted. You were spotted sitting on her chair beside Harden kaya maraming naniniwala na ikaw daw yon." Tumigil siya at mas lalong lumapit sa akin at saka bumulong. "And I was just concerned kasi there's this rumor na nagpanggap ka daw na nerd para mapalapit kay Harden at ikaw daw yong babaeng you know…" makahulugan niyang sabi.
Nanlaki ang mata ko at kumalabog ang puso sa narinig. I've heard the rumor about me being the nerd but not the girl who would use Harden. At Shit lang! Hindi ko alam bakit alam nila ang tungkol sa dapat kong paglapit kay Harden.
"The girl what?" medyo kabado kong tanong.
I saw Vanessa elbowed Gabriella. Napangiwi ito at tumahimik.
"What is it? Anong girl you know?" litong tanong ni Dana.
"It's nothing. Akala ko alam niyo," defensive na sagot ni Gabriella.
Fiona dropped her spoon and fork at saka pinanliitan ako ng mata. I gulped as I shifted my weight.
"My gosh. Tell us! And Eleanor should know. What is it? Tungkol kay Eleanor… at Harden?" medyo inis na tanong ni Dana.
Nagsikuhan ang dalawa. Lahat ayaw sabihin kahit alam ko naman ano yon. It's when Fiona and Dana got annoyed at them when they decided to tell us.
"Okay! Fine. But this is a top secret. Only few people know about this," panimula ni Gabriella. Kabado akong nakinig. Si Dana at Fiona ay curios na curios.
