Competition of Love (Jella Jema and Ella)

C-O-L: Part 20

Jema's POV

She maybe have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Someone she called Love over the phone. Medyo may kirot deep inside pero what do you expect after 2 years dbah.

I went to my locker and I saw a letter na nakaipit.

"Have a great night- EDJ"

I was shocked kasi nagparamdam ulet si EDJ. The last one was 2 years ago pa. I looked around baka lang may nakatingin or what then When i closed the locker i saw Dean standing.

"Hi Jema" she was smiling at me and I remember sa rooftop when I went up and nakasalubong ko siya pero ang lau ng intials sa name niya.

"Hi Dean" sabi ko nalang sa kanya

"tara sabay na tayo sa room" aya naman niya saken at sabay hawak sa may bandang beywang ko.

medyo nailang ako sa ginawa nya so I moved abit.

After a few days biglang lageh may sumusulpot na letter sa locker ko with EDJ initials padin.
the letter written back all the convo with had sa rooftop. I thought of Ella kasi yong timing baka siya ang nagsulat ng mga letters sa locker ko.

Siguro i'll asked her pagbalik sa dorm. The last note I got was

"I like you a lot.. please give me a chance-EDJ"

how come Ella will ask me about this one. ang alam ko may jowa na siya after hearing those phone calls. Is she cheating???

I was in deep thought when Dean appeared.
"Je tara na.. inaantay na tayo ni kyla" aya saken ni Dean at nauna na syang naglakad. I saw a paper drop in her notebook then I picked it up.

"Have a great day ahead babe-EDJ"

I was shocked so it was Dean all along since senior high??? she was EDJ and she is EDJ??? Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nalaman ako.

I was expecting it to be Ella.

pagdating namin sa kainan ..

"Jema ako na oorder.. ano sayo?" Dean asked same lang kung ano sa n u sagot ko nalng din tumayo si Kyla at pumunta sa my counter

I opened Deans notebook at inipit ko ulet and papel na na napulot ko. Hindi padin ako makapaniwala.

Tahimik lang ako while nakaen at nung pauwe na kami hinatid ulet kami ni Dean sa room.

"Are you okay ba? kanina kapa tahimik e." Dean asked me

"I'm not feeling well lang" sabi ko nalang

"Buti weekend bukas makakapagpahinga ka. may gamot kaba?" she asked with her concerned tone

"I''m good.. itulog ko nalang to" sabi ko nalang then then pumasok na ako pero hinawakan niya muna ako sa kamay at nilingon ko siya

"Goodnyt!" saka niya binitawan ang braso ko at pumasok na ako

I sat sa bed space ko while kyla nasa banyo. I saw a letter sa bed ko na muntik ko na maupuan.

"I am outside so don't wait for me.. at wag mo ako mamiss.. if ever na mamiss mo ako you can take one ice cream sa ref.. I'll be back .. see you on monday!- Ella"

Hindi nga si Ella...

I am not sure na bakit malungkot ako knowing that it was not Ella and the though of knowing she has someone special na din.

then this weekend wala din siya.

maybe its time to give Dean a chance.
