I never knew I loved her

Chapter 4🌷

In the canteen while Selene was waiting for Ezekiel, she opened her bag and kinuha ang make up kit nito, dali2 syang nag retouched at nagpabango she can't hide the excitement knowing that Ezekiel wants to meet her. After a few minutes dumating na si Ezekiel at tinawag naman sya agad ni Selene.
" Ezekiel! here!" when Ezekiel founds Selene and heard her voice ay pumunta agad ito sa table where Selene is. and umupo sa harap nito.
" Hi!" Selene greeted Ezekiel and super kilig na nakangiti.
" Hello Ms. Lopez! kanina ka pa ba?." Ezekiel asked Selene with a serious face and di mo makikitaan na kahit anong excitement sa mukha.
" Ahmmm! No, actually bago lang rin. And—Ezekiel, call me Selene nlng! No need to say my family name. you know it's just too formal." Selene said with a smile and kilig.
Because of excitement ay nauna ng nag tanong si Selene..
"So, what do you want to talk about Ezekiel?"
but before Ezekiel coukd answer Selene's question ay may narinig itong boses ng babae at lalaki na nag hihilahaan ng matumba ang lalaki ay tumawa naman ng malakas ang babae, ng lumingon si Ezekiel sa kinaroonan ng ingay He saw Rosie and Brian,looking them they look like very close friends and they were so happy. But when Brian pulled Rosie at napahiga ito sa dibdib nya Ezekiel was very shocked parang gusto nyang tumayo at hilahin si Rosie para di ito matumba mula sa pagkakahila ni Brian .
In his mind what the hell Brian? what are you doing? what if Rosie got hurt? are you out of your mind? yes he was pissed off of what Brian did to Rosie at the same time seeing how Rosie pulled Brian and leave together makes him jealous.

" Oh my God!! That girl is such a mess! annoying talaga!." Selene interrupted .Ng madinig naman ni Ezekiel si Selene ay agad itong humarap kay Selene.
He was staring Selene like she was more annoying than Rosie.
Selene noticed that Ezekiel was not in the mood. Kaya bago pa ito tuloyang mawala sa mood
Hinawakan nya ang kamay ni Ezekiel
"Ezekiel? ahmmm— wag mo na sirain yung date natin dahil lang sa babaeng yun okay? I know that she really likes you and I know that she calls you "My Zeki". Selene burst into laugh while saying My Zeki—- but don't worry! hindi naman ako nagseselos sa kanya so there's nothing to worry about! ."Selene said to Ezekiel bcos she really thought na annoying si Rosie for Ezekiel at buong akala ni Selene kaya mukhang naiinis si Ezekiel ng makita si Rosie ay baka lumapit ito sa kanila at tawagin na naman syang My Zeki ! Selene thought Ezekiel doesn't want her to make jealous.
Ezekiel was confused by what Selene said.
Hindi nya ma gets si Selene like what the hell is she saying? Inalis ni Ezekiel ang kamay nya mula sa kamay ni Selene.
" Wait, a date? ." Ezekiel asked na nakakunot noo.
" Yes. hindi ba to date Ezekiel? Ezekiel , you like me ryt? Well, I like you too very much! and yes kung mangliligaw ka sakin I'm going to say yes Ezekiel. tayo na!" Ezekiel was even more confused he didn't expect na ganon nlng kataas ang confidence ni Selene para sabihin ito sa kanya harap harapan.

" Ms. Lopez, kaya kita gustong kausapin it's because I want to clear my name ,I want to clear things out."

"What do you mean?. You send me flowers ryt? you even said You like me Ezekiel! " Selene asked Ezekiel at tila nawala na ang matamis na mga ngiti nito.
"It was not me! Hindi ako ang nagpadala ng flowers sayo at hindi rin ako nagsulat sa note na I like you."
Ezekiel answered nonchalantly.

" Then who the hell?" Selene was very angry and disappointed! she expect to much, She really like Ezekiel at hindi nya matanggap the fact na hindi pala si Ezekiel ang maygawa ng lahat.

" I really don't know! All I want ryt now is to make it clear na hindi ako yung taong ine expect mo Selene."
Ezekiel did not tell Selene that its his cousin Brian plans. Baka kasi anong magawa ni Selene sa pinsan nya, at mapahamak pa ito kaya minabuting hindi nya sabihin ang totoo.
" Hindi ko alam kung anong gustong mangyari ng maygawa nito. But I just want to say sorry if you feel na napaglaroan ka." Ezekiel apologized for his cousin Brian.

" But I Like you Ezekiel! lahat ng sinabi ko sayo ngayon lahat totoo! You like me ryt? Even if you're not the one who sent me flowers but still , you Like me rin dba?" Selene was frustrated he still believes that Ezekiel likes her.
Ezekiel pause for a second...
" I'm sorry . there is only one person I like, but It's not you." Ezekiel said and left Selene. Pero bago makaalis ng tuloyan si Ezekiel ay tumakbo sya papunta sa harapan ni Ezekiel at niyakap ito.
Ezekiel was shocked and paused for a second then he pushed Selene away!
" What are you doing ?" Ezekiel was  angry , isa sa pinaka ayaw nya sa lahat ay ang hahawakan ,hahalikan o yayakapin sya ng taong di namn nya close and without his permission. But if that was Rosie it would be okay for him. And without waiting for Selene's words he left.
Selene was very disappointed she clinched her fist and cried. Hindi nya matanggap na sa ganda nya ay hindi pala sya ang gusto ni Ezekiel. Then Rosie came up to her mind !
No! Si Rosie ba ang tunutukoy nya? Does she like Rosie that b!tch!!? No It can't be!!
kaya ba nawala sya sa mood kanina when he saw Rosie and that guy together? Is he jealous ?!!! NOOOO!!!
" You're Mine Ezekiel! You're only mine! I will make sure of that!"
Rosie is so beautiful with or without make up she's very simple but classy and very smart. She's incomparable! Kaya madami din ang nagkakagusto sa kanya in Selene's mind hindi imposibleng magka gusto si Ezekiel sa kanya! She even hate Rosie kahit noon pa ,palage nyang naririnig ang pangalan ni Rosie Carson palage itong pinupuri ng mga studyante at teachers bcos she's not only beautiful but smart and very kind also. Rosie have so may awards and achievements if she joins the Miss Campus it would be so easy  for her to win the crown. but Rosie didn't like pageants at all. Lucky for Selene! But sa isip rin ni Selene mas higit na maganda at magaling sya kay Rosie at di sya dapat matalo ni Rosie especially when it comes to Ezekiel!
Selene Lopez is also beautiful she's wearing make up evryday wearing expensive ootd's she's like a super model that's why marami din sa school ang humanhanga sa kanya ! But for Ezekiel Selene was  not his type. Selene can't accept the fact that Ezekiel De Vierra doesn't like her!

After mag lunch ni Rosie at Brian ay agad itong bumalik sa school.
" Brian, Thank you for saving me today." Rosie thanked Brian atleast kahit papano napakita nya kay Selene at Ezekiel that she doesn't give a damn about them! Rosie felt guilty at the same time ayaw nya rin kasing manggamit ng ibang tao.
" what? what did you say?." Brian asked in confusion.
" I said , Thank you sa pa lunch!." agad na bawi ni Rosie she doesn't want Brian misunderstood her words and expect too much. She really knows Brian likes her. But hindi nya gusto si Brian , for her if pwede lang turoan ang puso kung sinong gugostohin maybe Brian could have a chance. But for Rosie tanging si Ezekiel lang ang lalaking nagustohan nya.
matapos magpaalam sa isa't isa si Brian at Rosie para bumalik na sa kanya kanya nilang klase.
" Rosie!!!." tawag ng isang boses babae mula sa likoran nya ng nilingon nya ito it was Selene.

" O? bakit na naman Selene?." salubong ni Rosie dito.
" I have something to tell you." Selene said and smirked.
She grabbed her phone at pinakita ang picture nila ni Ezekiel na nakayakap sya rito, little did Ezekiel know habang nakayakap si Selene sa kanya Selene took a selfie sa likod nya dahilan para di makapansin si Ezekiel.
"look! kami na ni Ezekiel. So as his gf , Nakikiusap ako Rosie, please stop pestering him okay?."
again nasaktan na naman si Rosie sa mga narinig at nakita nya.
" Congrats to the both of you." Tanging sagot nya kay Selene at di ito nagpakita ng pagkalungkot.
" Thanks!." Selene smirked and left. Her plans will going to be successful . She lied to Rosie para tumigil na ito kay Ezekiel at si Rosie na mismo ang lalayo kay Ezekiel so that she will continue to pursue Ezekiel at mahuhulog din ang loob nito sa kanya.
When Selene left, Teary eyed Rosie can't explain what she feels ryt now this is her first heartbreak. after a second she wiped her tears in her pinkish cheeks. Opened her bag at kinuha ang invitation card ni Ezekiel.
She crampled it at tinapon sa basurahan na nakita nya malapit sa kinatatayoan nya.
" I give up! and this is the right thing to do. From now on Ezekiel hindi na kita gugulohin malaya ka nang gustohin kung sinong gusto mo! As promised titigil lang ako pag nagka girlfriend ka na. so this is it! I wish you find happiness!." Rosie said while staring at the invitation card sa basurahan.

In Ezekiel's classroom, may hinahanap sya pero di nya makita.
" Wayne nakita mo ba airpods ko?." He asked.
" Hindi pre san mo ba nilagay?." Wayne answered.
" Dito lang yun sa table ko iniwan ko katabi doon sa chips na kinain ko bago ako umalis." Ezekiel said habang nililibot ang mga mata nya sa paligid.
" Hala! Pare sorry natapon ko ata sa basurahan kasama nong chips. Di mo kasi tinapon ako tuloy napag utosan ni Maam Robles!" sabi ni Wayne habang kinakamot ang ulo nito.
" Pre! saang basurahan? it's my Dads bday gift sakin di ko pwedeng mawala yun." Importante at pinahahalagahan ni Ezekiel ang bawat gamit na binibigay ng magulang nya bukod sa napaka expensive nito it's his way also to show appreciation to his hardworking Parents.
" Sa labas ng grade 10 section A may basurahan doon, Doon ko natapon kasi papalabas ako ng room ng tinawag ako ni Maam Robles sa kamamadali ko nadala ko basura mo hanngang sa classroom ng grade 10 nauhaw na kasi ako malala pre kaya nadala ko papuntang canteen knina." Wayne explained.
Agad naman lumabas si Ezekiel para hanapin ang airpods nito.
" Pre wait! I'll help you!." Wayne said.
"No need! gawin mo na yang assignment mo!." Ezekiel answered. 
Ng makarating si Ezekiel sa basurahan na tinutukoy ni Wayne ay agad nyang hinanap ang airpods nya.
Gamit ang stick na nakita nya kinalkal nya ang basura napatigil sya sa nakita nya he found a crampled invitation card at nakita nyang nakasulat "My Zeki." agad nya itong pinulot he knew it was from Rosie. because of "My Zeki" written on it.
pagkapulot nya ay dali2 nyang inayos ang gusot gusot na papel at binasa ang nakasulat.

" To EZEKIEL DE VIERRA my Zeki, I know nakakahiya to. Pero can you be a part of my 18 roses? can you be my last dance?."

"She wants me to be her last dance? ."
" Pero bakit nya tinapon ang invitation card na para sakin?"
" Did she change her mind?."
" Why? is it because of Brian?."
