Mischief Moon (Seventh Series #2)

CHAPTER 24

HIM

"Sen, may tanong ako sayo." Sabi ko, as we both sat down at a table in a cafeteria. I was glad that at least Senia was free right now, I've been feeling stressed out–

I don't really know why...

"Ano?"

"Have you ever been ghosted by anyone?" She raised a brow because of that, making me more nervous.

"Huh? Hindi naman, bakit mo naman na tanong yan?" She asked, as she took another sip on her drink.

"... wala lang."

"You know, ang weird mo kaya lately, parang hindi na kita na kikita lumalandi sa ibang babae ha, ok ka lang? May sakit ka ba?"

"Wala!"

"Jun, I know we joke around and stuff about you being a playboy and a jerk... but I know for a fact that you don't do... do that thing– basta alam mo na ang ibig ko sabihin, pero seeing you like this, it's weird. So come on, did something happen?" She asked, sounding a bit worried.

Napabuntong hininga ako, well... it's Senia naman...

"I uh... please don't judge me."

"Why would I judge– wait..." She was just staring at me, like she was reading my mind, making me more conscious, and when her eyes widened, I knew for a fact that she got it, "you– Jun Peter West! What– really?!"

Of course she got it.

"Ok before you say anything more– I was just being flirty and... well– ok don't get me wrong– I really don't do it like you said, and I really just made out with those people before and stuff but– I got drunk that time when I met Shannen and... things– and well I wanted to just act cool about it but uhh..."

I felt embarrassed, and I know for a fact that I'm– fuck this... ok I'm blushing... tangina.

"Oh– my– Ghad!"

"Shuhshhsh."

"So she took—"

"Shut up!" I said, covering her mouth.

Now I'm getting more embarrassed...

"Tangina!" She cursed, then laughed out loud.

"Shut up, Sen..." I said, with a warning tone, glaring at her.

She wiped her tears, making me roll my eyes, but deep down... I felt relieved... because her eyes didn't show any judgement...

"So... is this what it's all about for the past year? Are you starting to like her now?" She asked, smiling teasingly– which sent shivers down my spine.

"What– I– I... I don't know."

"You're very weird, Jupiter."

"Parang gaga ka, ako pa ang weird, eh ikaw nga parang may tinatago din noh."

Umiwas naman siya ng tingin bigla– napataas kilay naman ako dahil doon. Ehhh? I wasn't even that serious in what I said but her expression made it more suspicious.

Aba parang may tinatago nga talaga.

"You are hiding something!" I said, pointing at her suspiciously.

"Ha? Hatdog, anong tinatago ko– wala noh! Ano ka ba, ang ingay mo, mahiya ka sa ibang estudyante. At ikaw ang pinag uusapan natin ngayon noh! So don't change the subject!"

She suddenly looked back at her phone, but what's weird is that she was smiling... not the normal kind of smile, but like the creepy kind... like the one Sky and Alex has–
