Chapter 2: Coincidence

[GWEN]

So, na-suspend kami dahil sa bagyo, eyyyy. 'Yung kaming magkakaibigan nagtetext na lang dahil malayo yung dorm rooms namin sa isa't isa.

Tapos slippery pa sa mga corridors.
So, as an act of relaxation, nag-pahinga na lang ako and nagreview. Ang lamig kaya nag-jacket na lang ako. I was advance reviewing our upcoming topics when I heard a loud thump next room.

*THUMP*

Ano kaya 'yun?!

Lumabas ako but saw nothing, I decided to look around but to no avail, wala akong makita.

I strolled through the corridors in search of the origin of the sound. I was surprised dahil ang katabi kong dorm ay kay Sheena pala!

Nubayan! Malas na naman! GAHHHH.

I decided to knock to check kung may tao talaga.

I heard a voice say "Come in." so I took the chance to enter. There I saw Sheena sitting on her bed, massaging her ankle. She was in pajamas which caught me off guard.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Go away." Sheena said.

I came to her and sat on one knee. I grabbed her chin and forced her face towards mine, pero hindi kagaanong close.

I looked her in the eyes and said "Anong. Nangyari. Sheena."

"Ew, wag mo nga akong hawakan!" She yelped, taking my hand off her.

I grabbed her hands and pinned her to the wall, I muttered one last time "Sasabihin mo o hinde, kikiss kita!"

"Fine!" She said. "Just get your hands of me."

I finally let her go and sat beside her.

"Nahulog lang ako sa bed ko. No need to worry."

"Eh bat mo minamassage yang buol mo?"

"It's... Nothing."

"Akin na nga!" I said as I grabbed her ankle and examined it.

"Huy! Wag mo nga 'kong hinahawakan." She screamed while her face beamed bright red.

I examined her ankle and found out she had sprained her ankle.

"Na-sprain mo yata ankle mo."

"Ha?"

"Na-sprain mo ankle mo. Wait lang, kukuha ako ng yelo."

"Wag na, no need."

"Wag kana maarte."

I grabbed ice from Sheena's refrigerator and put it in a cold compress.

I grabbed Sheena's ankle and put it on my lap as I put the cold compress on her foot.

"Ah!" She winced.

"Ay sorry." I said.

"No it's okay." She replied.

Unexpectedly, I felt a deep warmth radiate through my hand. I glanced to see Sheena's hand on mine. She was squeezing my hand tightly as if she was never letting go.

"Might help with the pain." She said.

"Sure." I uttered.

-

Kapag katapos ko i-cold compress ang ankle ni Sheena ay umalis na 'ko.

But before I exited, she said "Hey."
