Almost |MIKHAIAH (On-going)

CHAPTER 6: misunderstanding

Mikha's POV

Days turn into weeks, and weeks into months. Two months have passed since me and Aiah went to see the city lights. Since that day, me and Aiah have always gone out after school without our friends knowing. We got busy with school, but we always made time to go out after school.

Our classes ended awhile ago, and I'm with the girls walking towards the school gate when Colin says

"Mikhs, Tita called last night. You're not home, daw" Collet said, looking at me as if she were asking me where I was last night.

"You're not home, mikhs? We didn't hang out after class since the school year started" Maloi said as if she's suspecting me of doing something.

"Yeah, Tita called last week too. Mikha's not around the house daw" Gwen said, looking at Maloi and Colet.

"So? Where were you, mikhs? Jhoanna, is she with you?" Colet asked me and Jhoanna.

"Nope, we talk on socials, but hindi kami umaalis after class" jho answered Colet and continued fixing her hair.

My mom noticed? And she didn't ask me a thing. I looked at Aiah, and I saw her looking at me too, as if she were nervous about our friends asking me about my whereabouts.

"Yeah, last night I went to the nearest convenience store to buy a drink" I answered and pulled out my phone to scroll down, trying to avoid possible follow-up questions from my friends.

"Mikha, convenience store at 2am? You're house has a huge stock room. Don't fool us" Colet answered me and took my phone.

"Are you okay, Mikhs?" Gwen asked me worriedly.

"are you dealing with something, mikhs? something pressuring you?" Maloi asked me worriedly.

"Don't want to let that happen again" she added

"Of course I am. I was just g-" I answered, but I didn't finish what I was saying when someone said

"She was with me" said that familiar voice. I looked at the person, and it was her. It was Aiah.

"She's with you? But I didn't know that you were going out at that hour, plus you didn't tell me" Colet said as if she knew Aiah's whereabouts in a day. Colet's words hit me, making me ask myself why she seems to know a lot about Aiah and why Aiah needs to tell her about her whereabouts.

"You got your answer, guys" were the only words that came out of my mouth when Maloi and Gwen looked at me. I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking or what. what I know is that I want to go home.

We continued walking towards the gate while they still teased each other and laughed nonstop until we reached the school parking lot, where their drivers and my car were waiting.

"I have to go now. my driver is here." Stacey said, and she bid her good-bye to us.

"Me too." Maloi said, waved her hands at us, and walked towards the car.

"Us too." Gwen, Sheena, and Jho said, walking towards their own cars and drivers.

"We'll get going, mikhs" Colet said and opened the car door in front of us. She got in, and I got confused with the word 'we'll' and why she left the door open when I heard Aiah say, "See you tomorrow, mikhs." She said and got in the car.

"Oh, okay" I said while still looking at the car that's far away and went straight to my car to go home.

When I got home, I went straight up to my room and got ready for bed, even though I knew I wouldn't be sleeping because of the thoughts in my mind.

I was overthinking things when I got a call from a friend. I answered and said, "Hey, what's up?"

"Do you want to hang out tonight? Let's go to BGC" she said, asking me to go with her.

"Yeah, sure, what time?" I asked her and got up from my bed.

"Now, I'm currently at my parents house," she answered me.

"Should I pick you up or what? I ask her boringly.

"Yes, pasundo hintayin kita dito sa houseee," she said excitedly.

"Okay," I answered, turning off the call and getting ready to leave.

We went to BGC to ride their Scooters and catch up on each other's lives because we're not updated on each other's lives since our school is different.

After catching up, we decided to go home, so I drove her to their house and went home. When I got home, I went straight to my room and slept.

I woke up at 6:00, so I went straight to the bathroom and got ready for school. After taking a bath, I went down to eat my breakfast with my family.

"Good morning, Mikhs" My brother enzo said

"Morning" i said and went to my chair to eat.

"Where were you last night" my mom said and at first i thought she was talking to my siblings but then i saw her looking at me.

"Oh, i was at BGC, breathing i tried their Scooters" i said and continued eating

After our meal, I told them I needed to go to school because I'd have to read something before going to my first class.



I'm here at the school's parking lot, walking my way to the school gate when the girls arrived.



"Good morning, sunshine," Maloi said, walking towards us.



"You guys can go first; I have to read some things before going to our first class," I said while looking at my watch.

"Where? Sa library? Sama kami," Sheena said, looking at Gwen and saying, "diba gwenny," making Gwen look at her.



"Mhm, samahan ka nalang namin," Gwen said, smiling at Sheena.



"Let's go," Colin said, but before she could finish what she was saying, a girl called me.




"Mikhaaa, over here," the girl said, running towards us-to me, to be exact.



"Hey, what are you doing here, Jazz?" I said, looking at her.



"You know I transferred here; look at me in your school uniform; does it suit me??" She asked me excitedly.



"I just thought of it last night; you know, I realized it's fun to study here because of your stories last night," Jazz added.




"It is fun here, but you see, I need to go now." I answered her and looked at my watch.



"What's the rush, Mikhs? Oh, you guys are with students," Jazz said, looking at us.


"Yes, they're our new friends." Colet said, smiling at her.

They continued talking, but I really need to go. Besides, Aiah is not talking. We didn't even have a conversation last night through our socials. I can say I miss our little chitchats in the morning and our time-to-time updates. I miss her.
