Blue Moon {ON HOLD}

Chapter 25 ~

Nina's POV

Today is the last day of our classes. Starting tomorrow, we will be having our Christmas break. Ang bilis ng araw, na tipong parang kahapon lang ay stranger pa ang tingin ko sa kanila but look at me now... I found an extension of my family since I met my true friends like Amber, Irish, Jyrus, and Jarell. These are the things that I'm really thankful of. Malaki man siguro yung nawala sa akin noon but God is finding a way to give me more of the things that I lost.

Mag-isa lang ako ngayon na papunta sa cafeteria. Amber was summoned at the SC room while Jarell was at the teacher's lounge. Si Irish naman ay naiwan sa classroom and Jyrus was absent. Three days na nga siyang absent. I just heard from Amber that he's in Hong Kong with his mom and older brother.

I was busy checking out kung ano yung bibilhin ko nang may biglang bumunggo sa akin.

"Oh hello there my dear Nina. It's been a while since I last saw you. Did you missed me?"

"I have no time for this Natalie."

Natalie smirked.

"So ngayon pala ay sumasagot ka na. Just because I was not pestering you for some time ay tumapang ka na. Tsk tsk tsk."

"What do you want?"

"You know what I want dear so better yet gawin mo na or else I won't hold back anymore. See you around."

Mabuti naman at umalis na siya. Wala na naman sigurong magawa yun kaya nangugulo na naman siya. Di ko na dapat siya pansinin para hindi masira ang araw ko.

Bumili na lang ako ng snacks at naghanap ng mauupuan. Tamang tama at dumating na rin si Amber.

"Tapos na yung meeting niyo?"

"Yup."

"Hindi ka ba kakain?"

"Pass muna ngayon. I don't feel like eating anything."

"Did something happened? Mukhang matamlay ka ngayon eh."

"Wala, okay lang ako. Don't worry at kumain ka na lang dyan okay?"

"Amber, I know there's something bothering you. Kung ayaw mo pag-usapan, okay lang but don't forget that I'm your best friend... I'm always here to listen."

Sa ilang buwan namin nagkasama ni Amber, I got the chance to know more about her. She's friendly and easy going but she's stubborn and sinasarili niya yung mga problema niya. According to Kuya Kyle, she's too caring to others that's why she thinks that opening up to others might be a burden for them. He said that it is better na laging iremind si Amber that she has friends who's willing to listen to her, that she won't be a bother because of it.

"I'm just upset with Kyle."

"Why? Did something happened?"

"Lately kasi napansin ko na parang iniiwasan niya ako. Puro tungkol lang sa paperworks pinaguusapan namin. Ngayon naman hindi siya naka attend ng meeting, kahapon rin wala siya. Naipasa tuloy lahat ng gagawin niya sa akin. Tinatawagan ko siya kanina dahil may pipirmahan siya na deadline ngayon but he's cannot be reached. Hindi naman siya ganto dati."

Malungkot na sabi ni Amber. Kuya Kyle's absence is really bothering her.

"Malay mo may reason si Kuya Kyle diba? Baka may emergency. Bakit hindi mo tanungin si Ate Eileen? Diba classmate niya si Kuya Kyle. Maybe she knows the reason kung bakit wala siya."

Pinuntahan namin yung hallway kung saan yung classroom nila Ate Eileen. Agad naman namin siyang nakita.

"Ate Eileen, alam mo ba kung nasaan si Kyle? May kailangan kasi siyang pirmahan and deadline na nung papers ngayon."
