Savannah's POV
"Savy, is that you?" I jump when someone suddenly spoke from behind me. I turn around and found Ella sitting in the bed from the corner.
"God, Ella you startled me." I said while my hands in my chest. "Kanina ka pa jan?" I asks.
What if she saw that? OMG, please lord sana hindi niya na kita yon.
"Um, yeah. I'm napping here kanina pa and I j-just woke up from the noise." She said. I was relieved, hays.
"Are you okay? Something hurt ba sayo?" I asked worriedly. She doesn't usually come here just to nap.
She just smiled and reply, "Yeah, I just, having a bad headache earlier so I came here to take a nap."
"Hmm, uminom kana ba ng gamot?" I asked again and she just nod.
"Come on, let's grab something to eat. I'm hungry." Sabi niya habang hinihimas ang tiyan, "let's also invite Nadia. I miss her."
"Ako ba, hindi mo miss?" Sabi ko at tumawa lang ito habang nilagay ang kaniyang kamay sa aking balikat.
"Let's go~"
Hays, umiiling nalang ako habang sabay kami lumabas sa clinic.
•time passed.
We were currently eating here sa canteen and as usual maingay sila. I don't know what they talking about, hindi ako maka relate.
When they changed their topic, na curious ako kasi about ito sa love life ni Nadia. I keep quiet and nakinig na lang sa kanila.
"Agh, I don't like her talaga for you, Nade. Like for real, she's so manhid even though ang close niyo." Ella said then biting her burger.
I look at Nadia and she just laughed at her.
"Don't be like that, Ell. She's kind. I'll admire her na lang." She said and then look at me.
"Oh, you're already admiring someone? Who is it? Why I didn't know? Do I know her?" Sunod sunod na tanong ko. Umiling lang ito at uminom ng tubig.
"Wag kana mangi-alam, Sav. It's not important na malaman mo kung sino. You don't care naman dito sa Nade ko." I turned to Ella when she said that.
"Eh? Unfair niyo." Tampong Sabi ko.
"Ikaw ang unfair." Mahinang sabi ni Ella kaya hindi ko na ito narinig.
"Ell, dont. Come on guys, I'm totally fine. Isa pa hindi lang naman siya yung gusto ko, marami pa jan na handang sumalo sa akin no." Nade said.
Kawawa naman ng best friend ko. I'll ask her later pag wala itong sungot na 'to dito.
•time passed.
I wonder where she is right now. Like after she kissed me and leave me behind, I don't see her anywhere here sa campus.
I'm just attracted to her, that's all. But then, she suddenly kiss me like that. I don't know to what would I feel.
I turn my gaze to Nadia, she's reading her book. Mag katabi kami noon pa man and lagi niya akong dina-daldal noon, ngayon she changed. She doesn't talk to me, well we do still have interactions but it's so different from before.
"Are we good, diah?" That's what I called her. Diah is cute, a cute nickname.
Napahinto siya sa binabasa niya at 'takang tumingin sa akin. She opened her mouth but then close it.
"I mean, I noticed that you don't talk to me like what we used to be. D-did I do something?" I asked her, she just look straight at me.
Umiwas siya ng tingin at tumingin sa ibaba.
"We're good. I just have something in my mind lately. I'm sorry." Sabi niya habang tumatawa, pekeng tawa. Something's off talaga eh.
"What is it? Maybe I can help you with that. Is that from, from your crush? The one that Ella talk about earlier?" Hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang pag diim ng hawak niya sa libro.
Before she could reply, one of my classmate spoke. Kaya tapatingin kami sa kanya.
"Guys, papasok si ma'am terror in 3 minutes." Aniya. I heard my classmates groan.
"So, diah. You can tell me if you have a problem you know. I'm your friend after all." I said while smiling at her. Parang na bigla pa ito sa ginawa ko, tumikhim siya.
"Yeah, right. Friend tsk," bulong niya.
"Hmm, what?"
"Nothing. I said next time when I'm ready to talk it out." She said smiling. And that's when our terror sub teacher came in.
"Alright class. I won't be long since I have so much to do." Sabi nito. "We will have research and you'll defend it next week, you defend it in our online class because our principal declare for next week no class but we will have the defense. So, I will group of you into 2." Mahabang sabi niya. "Para hindi tayo matagalan, partner kayo ng katabi niyo. Topic: Take the risk or lose the chance. Class dismissed."
Ay weh, yan talaga topic? Yun na yon? Hays mas okay na yon, maaga ako maka uwi.
Napansin ko na kakadating lang ni ma'am Acosta after 3 hours at tumungo ito sa table niya sa likod. She's bihis ngayon, umuwi ba siya para mag bihis?
"When we'll start our research, Savy?" Diah said while poking my hand.
"Oh, um, tomorrow morning around 9 o'clock. My place." I said and she just nod.
Tumayo ito at kinuha na ang kaniyang mga gamit. "Saan ka punta? Wala na ba tayong klase?" Tanong ko dito. Tumango lang siya at may pinakita sa phone niya. It says that starting tomorrow walang pasok 'till next week.
Wow, mahaba habang chill.
"I'll go first, may lakad pa kami ng parents ko eh. See you, take care." Tumango lang ako sa kanya at pinanood siyang umalis.
Ngayon ko lang din napansin na ako nalang pala ang natirang student sa loob nitong classroom.
Aalis na sana ako ng tawagin niya ako. Shit, I don't know what to do in front of her. I slowly turned to her gaze and she's already staring at me intensely.
"Are you going home? Can you give this to ma'am Stacy on your way. Thank you." She said while handing me a box.
"Sure... Um, about-"
"-pretend that it never happened. It was a mistake, I apologize for my behavior." Putol niya sa akin. She apologize but looks like not sorry for what happened.
Tumango na lang ako at hinatid itong box kay ma'am Stacy.
Damn... That... Hurts...
