The Boy Next Door Part 2

I

I woke up with a heavy heart . These days , i hardly have enough sleep, thanks to KJ
Right now, it seems likely were slowly drifting apart. No explanations, no apologies
I slowly stood and went to the comfort room .
My friends and i decided to go to Nasugbu , Batangas today .

Am i still hoping he'd show up? Yes.

I hate him . I hate him for doing this to me . But no , i wont allow myself to drown in misery . I won't
Life must go on .
"Astrid your'e friends are here" shouted mama from downstairs.
"Alright , Im coming" i hurriedly closed the door and went downstairs.
"You haven't had breakfast yet"
"Yeah right . Thanks for reminding me , ma would it be okay if you packed me 2 sandwiches instead ? Pretty , please? "
Mama rolled her eyes "that pacuteness effect is disgusting baby."
"Lets Go," philip said he offered to carry my bag .
"Ooh Lala , my friend is being gentlemen," i exclaimed .
"Oh shut up bitch" he snapped
"Bye tita and tito ," kaye and cess said in chorus .
"Bye auntie and uncle," philip smirked
"Bye kids be safe ! " papa said
Mama smiled and wave at me
My friends excitedly scrambled to philip's car.
I smiled "excitement all over ,huh?"
"You bet ," philip screamed .
We'll be staying in nasugbu for two days and one night.
I smiled but i couldn't help but glance at the house beside ours .
Still no sign of him .
I heaved a sigh . Oh well, what's new? I dont know his activities anymore . He doesnt call he doesnt text me . I dont know whats happening to him , i dont know him anymore .
It hurts . I need him . I need hin badly . I just cant ....... I just can't stop myself from needing him

"Yehey!" We all shouted as we stepped on thw whitesand beach here in nasugbu. Nakataas pa ang mga kamay namin na tila lilipad sa kalawakan . Wala na kaming pakialam kahit gulo - gulo ang aming mga buhok dala ng napakalakas na hangin.
Pinagmasdan ko ang paligid . Abala ang mga bata sa pagkuha ng mga pebbles habang ang iba naman ay gumagawa ng sand castle . Maraming couples ang naglalakad habang magkahawak ang kamay . Marami ring teenagers na naglalaro ng volleball. At siyempre , mawawala ba naman ang turista ? Mukhang ang saya saya ng paligid.
"This is the kind of place that i love" philip exclaimed.
"A place where i can be alone in the bright sunlight" i added
"And a place where i can listen to the waves of water crashing alone the
Shore," cess smiled
We all giggled. Para kaming may mga sayad.
Sabay sabay kaming pumunta sa aming rooms.

It had been a fun day so far. Puno ng kwentuhan , tawanan , at alaskahan. We also swam, of course . But i've become aware na sinadyabg iwasan ng friends ko na mapagusapan si KJ. I appreciated that .
After dinner , i excused myself para makapagisip - isip magisa. I was walking along the beach when my phone beeped . Umasa ako . Pero classmate ko lang pala asking about some school stuff . After replying to the message , i busied myself watching the people laughing and exchanging stories on the shore. Buhay na buhay ang beach na ito sa gabi . May mga nagfafire - zipping. Mayroon ding malakas na tugtuog kaya maraming napapaindak . Ang sayang tignan ng paligid
"Hay. Buti pa sila , halatang masaya samantalang ako nakaka----" i said
Wait ... May nahagip ang paningin ko .
Is that mike ? ... 😱 .
Napansin ko ang lalaking nakapolo na white at shorts na white sa gitna ng mga taong nagsasayawan . Pero namamalikmata lang ata ako , imposibleng nandito si mike pero bago pa ako makalapit , bigla na lang nawala na parang bula ang paningin ko .
"STRANGE" i said to myself. Baka nga imagination ko lang y'on . I decided to go back to the bonfire area where we are hanging out . Hindi pa ako nakakalayo nay nahagip na naman ang paningin ko . Si Harold???? Ano bang nangyayari sa akin at kung sino sini na lang nakikita ko sa paligid ko hindi naman ako lasing . Just when i was about to head back to my friends .....
