Past or Present? (A Juan Karlos and Darren Fanfiction) [ON HOLD; EDITING]

Chapter 8: I'm fine

Kristine's POV

I'm still burning hot because of fever. I also cannot sleep because of headache and also because of Jk's tweet and the he-carry-me thingy. My mom excused me on school today, too, luckily.

My classmates keep on texting me. I didn't bother them cause they will just confront me and say, "You are not really sick! You just want Jk to notice you!" Cause you know...he's our campus heartthrob.

"Bagong pasok, heartthrob agad? Artista?" I said to myself, smiling.

It's already 8:16 am. I wanna go outside but I can't. It's a little bit cold but really it's summer. I have FEVER. So, they don't let me use the aircon because it's like I'm inside the refrigerator. Okay I'm exaggerating. So I'm just using the electric fan for the meantime so it would not be so cold for me.

I'm trying to stand up when someone opened the door. It's Jk. Why is he here?

"Hi!" He greeted. I waved my hand.

"Uhm... You didn't go to school?" I asked. But he didn't answer me. He just went inside my room and help me stand up and go to my balcony.

"Thank you." I said before sitting. "So, why are you here, again? You didn't go to school?" I repeated my question a while ago.

"I excused. I said that I will take good care of a clumsy girl." He joked.

"CLUMSY?!" I asked raising my eyebrow.

"Just kidding. The truth is there are no classes today. The teachers said that they will have their meeting, so they let us go home."

"Oh and then? You decided to go here?" He nods. What a gentleman!

"So, what are we gonna do now my patient?" He asked acting like a doctor.

"I just wanna walk outside, Doctor Jk Labajo." I laughed while saying those words. "But I can't."

"Wow. Doctor Jk Labajo. Nice." He laughed too. "What if you ride on my back?" He suggests while tapping his back. I was shocked but I wanna try but I'm shy. I'm blushing though.

"I'm heavy." I said.

"I can carry you. Remember last night?" Oh. Yeah. "Yeah. Ate Kath told me about that. I don't want to but if you say so." I stand up on the chair where I am sitting.

But before I ride on his back. I teased him first. "Hey Jk! Look I'm taller than you." I said laughing hard.

"Yaa. You're so tall. You are a 7 footer. I totally laughed on what he said. He's just a joker. (A/N: I'm so corny.) Then I ride on his back.

"Y-You're s-so h-heav-vy." He teased. I know he's enjoying. "Baliw!"

Then he opened the door and went downstairs. Manang Hilda saw us. "Jk, Kristine, san kayo pupunta?"

"Uhm... Sa labas? Gusto daw po niyang mag-explore. HAHA!" Explore?!

"O sige. Mag-ingat kayo." Manang Hilda said and we went out.

While we are exploring, as he said to Manang Hilda a while ago, I saw many people looking at us.

"Hey!" I tap his shoulder.

"What?" He asked.

"Uhm... Can we please go home? Many people are looking at us." I said.

"Nevermind them. We aren't lovers." Ouch. That hurts. "I'm just your friend." Really, it really really hurts deep inside. I'm just a friend to him.

"O-okay." I stuttered cause I started to cry. My tears fell on his shirt. I know he can feel that. "Are you crying?" He asked.

"N-no. I'm n-not. Just sweat. Sorry." Oh, nice reason. Galing magpalusot ah.
