The Incomplete Tale

Got ya back

[Classroom, vacant time.]

While I and the others are having a good time laughing and chatting about something in Reiji's chair, Miu approaches us. "Uhm, Reiji?"

As soon as she started talking, the conversion suddenly dies. We all look at her. "May kailangan ka ba, Miu?" Tanong ni Reiji.

"Can you help me with my Algebra? Naguguluhan kasi ako eh." She replied.

Napataas ng kilay si Kat. "Talagang ngayon ka pa nagpatulong. Can't you see, we're talking?" mataray niyang sabi.

I, Maeko, and Yuka look at each other.
I know what we are both thinking of. Someone doesn't like to steal Reiji's attention from her.

"I just can't understand the equation. Magpapaturo lang ako." sagot ni Miu.

She rolls her eyes. "Magpapaturo o Manlalandi? Class president tapos bobo. Ano ka yun?" She whispers to herself.

Thankfully Reiji and Miu did not hear it. Only I and those two heard it.

Reiji faces us. "Guys, sorry. Mind if I'll just help her?"

"No problem. We will leave you guys then." I responded.

Iniwan na namin sila at ng makalayo na kami, Yuka face Kat. "Seriously, Kat. Kung umamin ka na kasi, edi sana di ka nakikipag agawan sa atensyon ni Reiji.

Kat pretends to be confused. "Ha? Umamin saan? Wala nga akong gusto kay Reiji! Naiirita lang ako sa babaeng yan." Sige, deny pa. Halatang halata na nga kasi eh.

Maeko crossed her arm. Looks like she had enough. "Alam mo Kat, deny all you want but you can't fool us. You're just making yourself stupid." Kat just pursed her lips.

"Kahit naman umamin yang si Kat, hindi rin naman siya magugustuhan ni Reiji." Kioshi walked through us and joined the conversation. "Look at her face, sa tingin niyo magugustuhan yan ni Reiji? Pangit pangit ni Kat kaya." He teased even more.

Kat glared at him. "Gago ka ba?!" She pretends to hit him with her notebook but he did not flinch a bit.

"That was too harsh Kioshi!" Sambit ko.

Maeko smirked. "Sorry, but I'm with Kioshi on this one." Nagsama na nga ang dalawa sa pag trip kay Kat.

"But to be honest, we know that Reiji is still not ready for relationships." Yuka started. "Maybe that's why we love teasing him with Ayumi kasi alam natin na wala lang yun sakanya. But the thing is, he doesn't talk much with girls except for us and Miu. Which is not our friend..."

"Just get to the point Yuka! Dami pa sinasabi eh. She probably likes Miu. And Kat will never get her chance especially since she's denying her feelings toward him. Right, Kat?" Maeko did not even hesitate a single word she said.

We all look at Kat but it seems like she's not even paying attention. Her eyes were so focused on Miu and Reiji whose so close to each other while he was explaining something to her.

Later that moment, our homeroom teacher arrived. Everyone goes back to their seats.

I whispered to Kat who's my seatmate. "Are you okay?"

She looked at me blankly. "Y-yeah." she immediately concentrates her attention in front.

"Before we start, I have a favor for Reiji." panimula ni teacher.

Pero mukhang hindi narinig yun ni Reiji dahil nakatutok siya sa pag scan ng libro niya kaya mahinang sinipa ito ni Hiro na nasa likod niya lang. "Ano nanaman ba Hiro?!" Rinig kong pabulong sa inis na tanong niya dito.
