Bodyguard || JHOCEY

Stranger Danger

(JHOANNA'S POV)

Stacey : Jhoanna? Hellooo? She said while snapping her hands

Jhoanna : Mm, sorry. I said nervously.

Stacey : Na fall ka naman sa kagandahan ko. She said while leaning closer to me to tease me.

Jhoanna : Feelingera ka talaga. Winstreak ka na sa ganda gandahan. I pull her face away from mine.

Not gonna lie, I did fall for her beauty. Am I inlove with this kikay..?

Stacey : Hmph. Kunwari pa siya. Tara na nga! She said as she walks towards the car.

I cleared my throat as I follow her.

— IN SCHOOL —

Stacey : BAKS! I miss you guys!

Sheena : Kakagaling lang talaga natin sa training.

Stacey : Kahit na! Bawal bang ma miss ang barkada? She said in a annoyed tone.

Maloi : Oh ano, ingame ka nanaman sa landian girl? Maloi points at me.

Sheena : Jhocey layag! Jhocey is real! Jhocey never lulubog! Sheena said exaggeratingly.

Jhoanna : I clear my throat. Nothing is going on between us. I said coldly.

Stacey : Tama si Jr. We're just friends. She said in a casual tone.

Maloi : She fake coughs, Friends with benifits.

Stacey : Loi. Tama na. Everything is casual between us.

I felt a pain enter my heart when she said that. Lahat ng yon.. Casual para sa kanya? Bakit ako nasasaktan? Wala naman akong nararamdaman kay Stacey. Wala diba? Wala.. It's just a phase Jhoanna. Astig ka. Si Stacey maarte, kikay, at hinding hindi mo type. I kept convincing myself that I don't like her.

Sheena : Eme kayo, tara na nga guys. May klase pa tayo kay Ms. Javier.

— IN CLASS —

Stacey : Robles, dito ka sa tabi ko. Stacey said while sitting down.

I dont know why, pero kinilig ako don? Kahit araw araw naman kaming magkatabi? What is happening to me? Kala ko ba astig ako.

Jhoanna : Mm. I obeyed and sat down.

Habang nagtuturo si Ms. Javier, hindi ko mapigilang mapatingin na lang kay Stacey. Pano ako na fall sa babaeng to? Habang nagtuturo nga yung teacher namin ay na pansin ko na mapapatulog na si Stacey.

I suddenly noticed that she sacrificed her sleep schedule to take care of me. I blushed in realization. But part of me felt bad.

Hindi ko namalayan na naka tulog na pala si Stacey sa balikat ko. Wala na. Di na ako makaka focus neto sa klase!

Inayos ko nalang ang sandal ni Stacey sa balikat ko para mas maayos ang pahinga niya. I feel bad for this girl. She put me before herself.

( STACEY'S POV )

Nagising nalang ako sa tunog ng school bell namin. Hindi ko namalayang naka tulog na pala ako sa balikat ni Jhoanna. Pagkatanto ko sa sitwasyon ay napa layo na lang ako bigla kay Jhoanna. Nahihiya kasi ako.

Jhoanna : Nagising ka na din. She stretches her arms

Stacey : Sorry. Na puyat kasi. Ikaw, okay ka lang? Hindi ka ba hungover kagabi? I asked as I stretch my body.

Jhoanna : A-Ah.. Hindi naman.. She said nervously.

Stacey : Bakit ka kinakabahan? I said curiously.

Jhoanna : W-wala lang. She looks away.

Stacey : Tara na nga, nag cracrave ako ng milk tea. Tara sa Star Drinks?

Jhoanna : Sure, pero.. Wala siguro ako bibilhin. It's just a waste of money. She said coldly.

Stacey : Kunwari pato.. Sige na, libre ko na. I said while rolling my eyes.

Jhoanna : Yiee! Thank you. Her soft side suddenly appears as she hugs me playfully.

Why do I get butterflies whenever she does these small things?

After classes, pumunta kami sa Star Drinks para bumili ng milk tea, pero habang naglalakad kami, may nakita akong naka gray na jacket na naka taklob which made me scared. Pero hindi ko muna sinabi ito kay Jhoanna.

I kept looking behind us to see if the person was still following me, is this anonymous? Sino kaya si anonymous?!

Jhoanna : Okay kalang Staks? She looks at me.

Stacey : A-Ah? Oo.. B-bakit..? I said shockinly. I was zoning out kakaisip kung sinusundan ba talaga kami ng taong to.

Jhoanna : I can tell you're not. Sabihin mo sakin nangaaway sayo, babatukan ko. She said protectively.

Stacey : I whispered to her, nasa likod natin..

She immediately turned back and confronted the person behind us.

Jhoanna : Oh ano tol, kanina ka pa ata nakasunod samin. May kailangan ka tol? She said as she pinned the person to the wall nearby.

The person managed to get my purse and run away, Jhoanna immediately reacted and ran towards the person.

Stacey : JHOANNA! LET IT GO! OKAY LANG! I screamed as I followed Jhoanna.

Jhoanna smiled at me as she held my purse, but.. why is her smile kind of.. odd?

Stacey : Jhoanna! Halika na! Bat kapa nangiti? I said looking at her weirdly.

Then..

Nasaksak na pala si Jhoanna sa tiyan. Dugo nalang ang napaligiran ng lugar.

Tapos..

Natumba si Jhoanna.
