Echoes of the Past // MIKHAIAH

Chapter 10: Jealous?

5 months later...

Matthias' POV

It's been months and half way through the school year pero still no progress.

I've asked Lolo about the guy on the picture and he denies knowing him but I remember seeing him when I was a kid, often times seeing him.

School has been boring but a little good, especially when we play as a band. Ransom has been doing good.

"Okay class. That would be all for today. See you next week!" the professor said and I stood up, Mich and Chris was following me.

"Saan ka?" Chris asked.

"I'll wait for Aya. Malapit na matapos class non."

They went with me towards the room where Aya and Saige were having classes.

A few minutes later, lumabas na sila.

"Hey." I waved at them.

"Hey, Matty!" Aya said happily.

"Sabi kanina pagod na sa classes pero biglang sumigla." Saige commented.

"Cheee! Basher ka na naman."

I laughed.

"We should try samgyup. Ako na bahala sainyo." I said.

They all agreed and decided to go. Chris, Saige and Mich were together in Chris' car while Aya was with me.

"Kamusta naman? Hindi kita masyado nakita this week except kapag we have classes together." I asked.

"Well, I'm good. Still bothered that I haven't seen Jeremy everywhere. There band is also MIA." she said and it was evident that she was worried.

I felt bad.

"I think he's okay. We should wish him well. I'll try to talk with the dean about that."

"You'll do that for me, Matty?" she smiled cutely.

I smiled back and nodded. She squealed and squished my cheeks.

We arrived at our meeting place and waited for Chris and the others. While we were waiting someone called me.

"MATTHIAS!" I looked back and saw Cole.

"Cole? Why are you here?" I went near her and shook her hands.

"I was looking for you, but I stopped by here cause I was going to meet someone." she said then laid her eyes on Aya beside me. " Sana naman, ikaw ka meet up ko. Hi, I'm Cole." she flirted and reached her hand out.

I got in between them and raised my eyebrows.

"Stop. She's straight." I said blandly.

Cole laughed and Aya stepped in front of me.

"Hi, Cole. I'm Alaiah, but you can call me Aya." she reached out her hand.

I looked at her.

"Teka lang. The first time we met, hindi ka ganyan, ah."

They shook hands. I felt something tingle. I don't know what this feeling is but I felt irritated.

Chris arrived and I introduced Cole to them and she decided to join us.

I saw Mich and Cole exchanging confused looks at each other.

I could care less. I still feel irritated by how Aya was very welcoming towards Cole.

Cole sat beside Aya which was a bold move. So I was left to sit beside Mich.

"By the way, Cole, what brings you here in Cebu?" Chris asked as we were cooking food.
