Our Fallout: A Second Chance

Seven

Chapter 7:
Jealousy

"The world is healing! Amen! Amen, Everyone!" bungad sa akin ni Sam at Gia. "Kailangan niyo lang pala magpa-hospital para magkaayos kayo." napatigil ako sa sinabi ni Gia.

Paano nila alam yon?

"Ang cute pa ng pictures niyo sa Instagram!" natutuwang dagdag niya.

Shit! Did she post our pictures? I quickly took out my phone to turn it on. Of course, hindi ko alam ang mga nangyayari kasi buong gabing naka off ang phone ko kasi low bat.

I quickly unblock her on Instagram so that I can check her posts.

Shit.

She posted our selfie with a caption of "Toast to our new found friendship. #BestfriendsForever"

The fuck?

Akala ko yon na yun. Halos mapahilamos sa mukha sa nakita ko. I didn't even know she took a picture of me when I squatted. Para ako yung nakaluhod para humingi ng tawad. With a caption of "Sorry na, baby! Please unblock me now. Hehe."

This brainy tricky girl!

Ang dami pa niyang ig stories. Nakaupo ako sa malapit sa hospital bed niya na parang binabantayan siya. Yung nag dinner kami bago umuwi. 10 ig stories with my face on it, 10 hours ago.

Fuck.

How did she take those pictures without me knowing it?

Papasok palang kami ni Sam sa room namin pero parang gusto ko ng umatras. "Hi bestie! Good morning. How was your sleep? I bought you a coffee." she said with her high pitched annoying voice.

Everyone was cheering for us.

Nagulat pa ako ng yakapin niya ako. "Smile, bestie. Take my coffee. Let the whole world know, we're okay." bulong niya sa akin na hindi man lang napansin ni Sam. "Ang sweet naman. Friendship goals." dagdag pa niya!

Really, Sam? Akala ko ba gusto mo siyang sabunutan kahapon?

Ngumiti akong pilit pagkatapos ng yakapan namin kaya naghiyawan ang ibang classmates namin sumakto naman ang pagpasok ni Jasmine ng makita ko si Aaliyah sa may likod niya kasama si Rachel na gustong sumilip sa kung anong nangyayari.

My smile dropped when she turned her back to enter her room just in front of our room.

"Excuse me." sabi ko sakanila at lumabas para sundan si Aaliyah. "Ali..." I called her name while she was busy fixing herself on her chair with her things.

"Aaliyah... About last night—" "Miss Andrada? Class will start now. Can you please go back to your own room." Miss Lim said, I nodded at her as I looked back to Ali who didn't even gave me a look.

"I'll see you later." I was about to give her a cheek kiss but she moved her head away from me. Nakatitig ako sakanya ng ilang sandali hanggang sa umalis na ako.

Bumalik ako sa room namin ng itaas ni Isla ang kamay niya. "I saved you a chair, bestie." ngisi niya sa akin pero hinanap ko kung nasaan si Jasmine dahil may gusto akong tanungin.

This girl. She knows what game she's playing. Pinagtabi ba naman niya ang kaibigan ko sa tabi niya para pipiliin kong tatabi sakanya.

Jasmine, Sam, Space and Isla

Wala akong nagawa kung hindi tumabi sakanya. "Jas? Is she angry?" hindi ko maiwasang tanong kahit pinaggitnaan kami ni Sam. I am so bothered most especially that tomorrow is her birthday.

"A big yes. Pinuntahan ka namin sa bahay niyo. Wala ka pa sa final practice. She keeps on calling you through my phone yet you didn't answer up all night." sagot niya.
