The Love Of Homophobic (BXB)

Chapter 11

Craving

It’s Monday, the day that our welcome party will happen, and I think it will be my doomsday. I mean, every day I meet Zeus, I will always experience something bad. But today? I can feel it’ll get much worse.

Huminga ako ng malalim.

Stop overthinking, Grey. You have friends, right?

I let out a sigh as I got out of the car. The party will be later at 7 p.m., and we still have class until 1 p.m.

I can hear noises before I reach our classroom; I guess our professor is still not here. And when I got inside, I noticed that they were so busy chit-chatting with others. The arrangement of the seats is messed up.

Wala pa si Damien nang makaupo ako sa puwesto namin. Siguro ay hinatid si Alijah sa klase niya. Nang matapos kong malabas ang mga gagamitin ko for first subject ay dumating na din si Damien at pabagsak na umupo sa tabi ko.

“Whoo! I thought I was late," he exclaimed as he gasped for breath. Uminom pa siya ng tubig bago siya tumingin sa akin.

“Morning, Grey!” he greeted. I can’t help but roll my eyes. Masaya na naman siya ngayon tapos mamaya galit na naman. Kalalaking tao, ang moody. Kay Alijah lang kaya maging consistent ang mood.

“Morning.”

“Are you excited for later?”

Hindi ako sumagot kaya lumapit siya sa akin at hinuhuli ang tingin ko.

“It’s about that motherfucker, am I right?”

“Who’s motherfucker, Mr. Smith?”

Agad kaming napaayos ng upo ni Damien nang marinig naming ang boses ni professor. He’s looking at us intently, especially at the guy beside me.

Hindi sumagot si Damien pero narinig ko ang pag-igting ng panga niya. There’s always a silent war when it comes to these two. Parang may tinatagong galit sa isa’t-isa.

I heard that this is the same professor that Damien had last year. At sa tingin ko ay isa siya sa mga dahilan kung bakit umulit ng school year ang lalaki.

Noong hindi niya pa kilala si Ali, he always answers back, but after he started courting Ali, I noticed that Damien changed his attitude when it comes to his education. He’s doing his best now to pass this school year.

And I appreciate him because of that.

Nakakabasa ako lagi ng ganito sa mga romantic books. Even the worst person can change when they meet the love of their life.

Biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang mukha ni Zeus.

Am I able to change him?

I smiled bitterly.

The audacity of me to think about it when I’ll never be the love of his life.

He hates you to death, remember?

I cleared my bitter thoughts and focused on the discussion. Our half-day class just went normal. Noong break naming ay kumain lang kami sa patio kasama si Ali and for the last subject, ay hindi pumasok ang lecturer namin.

The next thing I knew, I was inside our car on my way home.

Ngayon lang ako hindi natuwa sa bilis ng oras.

“Hi, Grey! How was your school?” salubong sa akin ni mama nang makapasok ako sa loob ng bahay.

I kissed his cheeks and smiled, “Good, mama. How about you? How's your day?”

“Fine, also. Just missing your daddy Casthan…” he giggled, and I laughed.

“I miss him, too.”
