Between Textbook and Temptation (Intersex) ON HOLD!!!

CHAPTER 28

🔞

Prof. Avengoza's POV

Callen is making me feel a lot of things in one sitting. She's driving me insane, mad, jealous, and confused. Just a week before she kept on messaging me random things—like how she compliments me, updating me on her whereabouts even if I'm not asking, constantly sending me cute stickers, and those cringy yet silly sweet messages suddenly went all gone this week.

Sa sobrang love bombing niya last week tinatapunan naman niya ako ngayon ng kabaliktaran and that's the reason why I'm mad and confuse. Like, the hell what was about all of her silly antics a week ago? Is Callen tripping on me or what? Because honestly, it doesn't feel good.

I might have hurt her two weeks ago but when we got to interact again because it's just happened we were in the same place and took care of her the whole night because she was a mess drunk—my heart still hopes that Callen still wants me and based from her gestures I proved that she's still into me. I feel delightful, call me selfish or what but the thought of that has had me feel what if I just reciprocate her feelings?

I lost my train of thought when I heard knocks outside my faculty room, sighing, I got up from my swivel chair. As I open the door, it's just Zen waiting outside.

"Kay, what's with the long face?" Tanong ni Zen napansin niya siguro ang mood ko. Why did I even expected na si Callen yung kumakatok? It's lunch time now and katatapos ko lang ng klase sa kanila.

"Nothing. Let's go." Sabi ko na lang..but knowing Zen na chismosa hindi siya titigil hanggang di niya nalalaman kung bakit ganito mood ko.

Naglalakad na kami papuntang cafeteria nang marinig ko ulit si Zen, "Pansin ko ha last week ang gaan ng mood mo you look so blooming then these past few days you suddenly went gloomy."

Ganun na ba ako ka-obvious?

"Are you telling me I look ugly now?"

"Girl? Kailan ka ba pumangit? I just noticed you're spacing out lately. May kinalaman ba ex-fiancé mo kaya ganyan mood mo?"

Okay. The thought of Travis made me give Zen a look of disgust, I suddenly remembered he's still contacting me from different phone numbers and dummy accounts and told me he's just giving me time and space to think and eventually he will tell my parents that he cheated on me but will ask for their forgiveness.

Hindi ko na lang din alam kung saan pa siya kumukuha ng kapal ng mukha. Travis can give me the time and space he's talking or even the entire universe for all I care.

"Kinda." Sagot ko kay Zen but more likely—and the truth is because of Callen.

Callen is making me mad for real.

"That's all I need to know Kay, you can tell anything if there are things you want to talk about and you're comfortable sharing it." I just nodded at Zen and smiled lightly. As of now, I don't want to share yet to her what I've been thinking about lately. It's not that I don't trust Zen enough, I just want to keep what me and Callen have been doing for the past months.

Nakapili na kami ng food at umupo na sa usual table namin. Ang kagandahan sa university na 'to hiwalay ang cafeteria ng professors at mga estudyante kaya walang chance na makikita ko dito si Callen.
