The Love Of Homophobic (BXB)

Chapter 17

Favor

Lumipas ang unang taon ko sa school at simula na ng aking pagiging second year sa college. Noong bakasyon ay wala akong ginawa kundi pilitin na ibaling ang atensyon ko sa iba para lang maalis sa isipan ko si Zeus at ang bigat ng nararamdaman ko.

Nag-umpisa narin ang application sa mga clubs and I'm still thinking where should I go. I'm not very active in clubs, especially sports, but since it's required, I think I'll just join the academic club. I'm more interested in learning about my field of study, which is business.

"Today, we're going to tackle the marketing strategies that will help your business to grow..." my professor begins as my mind starts to wander again.

Isang linggo na nang mag-umpisa ang klase at ganito na lang palagi. I cannot focus on my class because I'm always thinking of him. Hindi ko pa siya nakikita, ni anino niya. I know I should stop thinking about him or his whereabouts, but I can't help but worry.

How can a third-year college student and the president of the school's supreme student government be absent for the first week of school?

At sa nakaraang buwan ay nagkakausap kami ni Sierra through social media. She never fails to contact me everyday. And that's the reason why we became close.

And what's more, she keeps inviting me to their grand house. Naubos na yata lahat ng dahilan na pwede kong ibigay para lang tanggihan siya. I don't want to go back to that house again.

There are times when I really want to ask Sierra about her older brother, but that might weird her out. Or maybe I'm just overthinking.

I sighed as I packed my things on the desk. I tapped the guy next to me who had dozed off during class.

"Damien, it's lunchtime. Let's go," I called out gently as I nudged him.

Oo, kaklase ko parin siya.

He growled and slowly lifted his head, blinking groggily and rubbing his eyes to shake off the sleep. He yawned and fixed his hair before walking out ahead of me.

Ali is currently unavailable because she's busy with her projects. Maybe that's why Damien seems so lazy these days, because he can't be with her.

"Greyson!" Sierra shouted my name enthusiastically, drawing the attention of other students.

Bahagya akong nakaramdam ng hiya ngunit nagawa ko paring ngitian si Sierra na palapit sa akin.

She looks so pretty in her school uniform-a neatly pressed white blouse tucked into a pleated navy skirt that fell just above her knees. Her socks were pulled up to her calves, and she wore polished black shoes.

"Let's eat lunch together!" she invited, linking her arm with mine. I just realized we're about the same height. Feeling ko nga ay mas matangkad pa siya sa akin.

"Sure," I smiled. "But I'm with a friend, can he come with us?" sabay turo kay Damien na lukot ang mukha na nakatingin sa amin habang may dalang pagkain.

Not even Sierra's beauty fazes him.

"Okay! I'll also be FaceTiming Austin while we eat. Would that be okay with you both?"

I nodded while Damien took his seat at our usual spot. I saw him pull out his phone before I turned to Sierra to order food.

Probably updating Ali, I guess.

Buti pa silang dalawa, they have someone to share their days with and someone who cares about them.

Must be nice to be born straight, huh?
