MIKHA'S POV
"Maswerte ka at hindi malala tong nangyari sa iyo" The school nurse said when she was done putting a cold cast on my right ankle.
"Kagaano po katagal bago po ito gumaling?" Chie asked.
"A week or two maybe" Sabi ng nurse bago siya umalis.
I sighed and my shoulder dropped in defeat. Nakatingin lang ako sa casketed right ankle ko na nakasimangot. The competition is gaganapin na next week and habang iniisip yon nadidisappoint ako kasi hindi ako makakasayaw.
"You're disappointed? aren't you?" Chie asked. I faced her and a pout appeared on my face.
"Sino ba ang hindi? I badly want to dance" I said. I gripped my hair with both of my hands.
"Ugh! This is frustrating" I added and humiga na ulit. Narinig ko naman na natawa si chie sa inaasal ko hindi ko na siya napansin dahil sa pagka-frustrated ko.
Napatingin naman ako sa pinto then the incident a while ago popped up into my mind. Nakita ko si aiah na tumakbo papalapit sa akin at kitang kita sa mga mata niya ang pagalala sa akin. I thought she despise me? Then why the hell did she acted like that? Must be out of reflex?
"Nope. Napaka imposible naman non" I whispered to myself.
But then, naalala ko din na inaabot ni aiah ang kamay niya para tulungan ako. I got a chance to take a look at her brown orbs and nakita ko naman sa mga mata niya na sincere siya about helping me. But kung totoong she care, then bakit wala pa siya dito hanggang ngayon?
Honestly, hinihintay ko siya na bumisita sa akin. Lagi akong napapatingin sa pinto hoping na magpakita si aiah. Pero matatapos na ang mga klase nila but walang aiah na nagpapakita.
"You're waiting for her?" Sabi ni chie out of nowhere kaya napaupo ako sa higaan ko and face her. I blinked for few times, trying to absorb what she said.
"A-ano?" I said. Napakagat naman ako sa labi ko nung na realize ko that i shutter and look at her apologetically. I heard a faint chuckle coming from her which made me furrowed my eyes.
"Aiah, hinihintay mo siya diba?" She said. napatingin ako sa baba trying to avoid her eyes. I knew na dapat nag focus ako sa kanya. Nararamdaman ko naman na we made a progress on whatever is going on between us pero nung nakita ko ang reaction ni aiah kanina made me suddenly confused.
"Bakit hindi mo nalang kinuha ang kamay niya kanina?" Chie asked.
"I-I don't know" I softly muttered.
The silence that filled the space between us ay binigyan ako ng time para makapag isip ng mabuti. I gulped for a few times as i try to prepare myself.
"Chie" I started. She just hummed as an answer.
"I-I think na tigilan na natin to." I said.
I was hoping for a slap or whatever needs to be done when a girl hear those things. Kaya napapikit ako sa harap niya.
"Bakit ba nakapikit yang mga mata mo?" She said.
"I thought na sasampalin mo ako" I said looking at her with one eye open.
"Bakit ko naman gagawin yon and I was thinking the same thing" Chie smiled at me which made me stare at her blankly and blinked out of confusion.
"Ano??" I asked.
"Nakikita ko naman na your heart still beats for aiah. Wala akong laban don at hindi ko naman ifo-force you to like me"
"Im sorry"
"No, hindi mo na kailangan mag sorry. I was the one who insisted in this ridiculous set up. I even stole a kiss from you. And besides, hindi naman deep ng feelings ko for you. So, no worries miks" She said and smile at me genuinely.
"That means, pwede parin tayo maging friends right? Walang mababago?" I asked cautiously. Tumango naman si chie which made me smile widely.
"Can i have a hug?" I spread out my arms and waiting for her response. I saw how she tilted her head a little bit out of confusion. She's really cute. Kung nakilala ko ng una si chie kesa kay aiah, I think I would fall for her.
"Ikaw ang naging comfort zone ko lately. Why? Hindi na ba ako pwede mabigyan ng hug ng kaibigan ko?" I pouted.
Chie chuckled loudly kaya natawa nalang din ako. Her laugh was contagious indeed. Agad naman tumakbo sa akin si chie at niyakap ako. I sighed in relief when i finally felt her warmth.
"MIKHAELA!"
Sigaw together with rushing footsteps ang naririnig namin sa hallway. I clearly know the owner is. The door slammed opened which made chie flinch into my arms.
"Are you- oh"
"Yah! bakit- oh"
Colet and Stacey was standing at the doorway with girls and their eyes was stuck on us. Their reactions made me and chie to stare at each other and giggled as she pulled away from my hug.
"Tara na girls. Baka hindi pa sila tapos mag making out. Kailangan na natin umalis" Bulong ni sheena sa girls.
Kumuha ako ng unan at binato to sa kanila tumama naman to kay gwen na ngayon ay nakatitig sa akin ng masama.
"We're not making out mga baliw" I said. Pumunta naman agad sa akin si stacey and sinundan na ng girls. Nagpaalam naman si chie sa amin.
"Bakit aalis na siya?" Maloi asked.
"Siguro baka may kailangan pa siyang gawin" I replied. Tumabi naman sa akin si stacey and look at me worriedly.
"Are you okay? Ano ang nangyari?" Stacey said habang nakatingin sa cast sa ankle ko.
"Im okay guys. It was all an accident. Walang may alam na sira yung chair na ginamit ko, Maswerte pa rin ako na hindi kataasan yung nilaglagan ko" I said.
"Masakit ba?" Sabi ni jhoanna bago pitikin yung injury ko. Napasigaw naman ako nung tumama na ang daliri niya sa injured ankle ko.
"Oo nga masakit nga" Sabi ni colet and tumawa silang tatlo nila gwen at jhoanna.
"JHOANNA?!" Sigaw ni stacey kaya napatahimik yung tatlo kakatawa. I smirk at them knowing na sila she, maloi at staks is on my side. Napairap naman yung tatlo at sabay tinalikuran kami.
"How long will this last?" Maloi asked.
"A week or two? Ayun kasi ang sabi ng nurse ealier"
