CHAPTER 9
SAVIOR
Lana's POV
They say everything happens for a reason.
That reason must have been you.
"Anong sabi mo?" Kaagad kong hinarangan si Paulo nang mapagtanto kong susugurin niya si Kiel. He was so mad that he forgot we were still on the school grounds. To be honest, I could not blame him for being furious, given what he had heard.
This guy openly tried to flirt with me, in front of my boyfriend! Sinong matinong tao ang gagawa no'n? He just disrespected Paulo big time.
"Oh, chill lang," pagtawa ni Kiel nang malakas. "I was just joking. Napakaseryoso niyo naman."
Rios grinned as he walked towards us. "Ganito na ba talaga ang mga tao dito sa Ponte Almeria? Hindi mabiro?"
Paulo hissed. "Well, it's not funny."
"It is, actually. But I'm not here to steal anyone's girlfriend. Even if I could, I wouldn't..."
"I'd stay on my lane." His eyes went to look at me. "Because you have my utmost respect, Lana."
My lips parted slightly because of that. He sounded sincere...
Bakit naman nasabi ng isang basagulerong babaero na nirerespeto niya ako? Was it because I'm Eloise's friend? Or because I firmly rejected him, he realized I'm not an easy girl to play with? Bakit kung makapagbitaw siya ng salita ay parang ang taas taas ng tingin niya sa akin?
"You should do the same if I were you." Biglang sumeryoso ang mukha niya nang tinitigan niya si Paulo. Now I understand why most people get scared of him. He looked... like he could kill. "Don't ever make a mistake."
"Pinagbabantaan mo ba ako?" galit na tanong ng boyfriend ko.
"Just a mere suggestion."
Nang mapansin ni Pau na pinagmamasdan ulit ako ni Kiel ay hinila niya na ako papunta sa likuran niya. "Bakit ba kayo nandito?"
"Rios!"
"Kiel!"
Saktong sakto naman na may biglang sumigaw na mga babae mula sa likuran namin. They were older than me by a year. Mga grade 11 na.
To my shock, those two ran towards the Duo.
"Sorry, medyo napatagal kami. Dumaan pa kasi kami sa CR para magayos."
"Of course, we want to look good for our date."
Inakbayan ni Rios ang isa sa kanila at tumalikod na.
"Pano, mauna na kami. May double date pa kami. If you guys want to come along, you're free to do so."
"Tsss." Pagsimangot ni Paulo.
"I guess that's a no. I'll see you around, Lana." Kiel smiled at me again before opening the car door for his date. Pinanuod ko silang umalis kasama ang dalawang babae na pinick up nila.
Talagang dumayo pa sila rito para lumandi? Ibang klase pala talaga ang magkaibigang 'yon.
"'Wag na 'wag mong kakausapin ang mga 'yon kapag wala ako ha," bilin ni Pau. Tumango naman ako at hindi na nakipagtalo. Nagyaya na lang akong umalis dahil pinagtitinginan na rin kami.
