Ile Magique

Chapter 14

SHEROLINA DE LEON'S POV

Jack and I were assigned to gather rocks for the S.O.S, alam namin na pointless ang lahat ng ito dahil nga kakaiba ang isla na'to pero, wala namang masama kung ita-try namin diba? Besides, isla parin naman 'to. Baka sakaling may barko or plane na maligaw dito. And I know that you're wondering why I am with this perverted guy that I hated so much.

Well, medyo nawala na naman yung pagka-inis ko sa kanya. Lalo na nung na-realize ko na hindi naman pala sobrang nakakainis ang ugali niya. He's funny and madaling kasama. He makes me feel comfortable and at ease. But no! I am definitely not falling inlove with him! Magkaibigan siguro mana pa!

Kanina pa kami nagku-kwentuhan, I learned that he and the other guys are friends since preschool. He loves his friends so much that he's treating them like his siblings. He was telling a funny story while we are walking back to our area near the shore.

"Alam mo ba, nung grade 6 kami, madalas kaming mag-cutting. Then one day, nag-cutting kami during Math period, madaling-madali kami kasi parating na yung Math teacher namin nun! Sobrang terror. Edi nagkakarera pa kami papunta dun sa fence na madalas namin akyatan, nahuhuli ni Jr nun," pero bago niya ituloy ang sinasabi niya ay napatawa siya ng malakas. Gosh he looks so cute yet manly when he's laughing.. "Tapos nagulat kami kasi parang may tumunog tapos ang baho! Yun pala," mas lalo pa siyang natawa. "Natae si Jr sa short." bulong niya.

Hindi ko na napigilan at bigla akong natawa kasama niya. Halos mamalipit ako kakatawa and my eyes were so teary! Maya-maya pa ay nahinto kami sa pagtawa dahil sa biglaang pag-sita ni Jr kay Jack.

"Jack, ano ba?!" inis na sigaw ni Jr. Napatingin ako kay Jack at obvious na nagulat siya. Kahit ako nagulat eh. Narinig kaya niyang sinabi ni Jack sakin that he pooped on his shorts? I wanted to laugh pero this situation is too serious."Di mo ba kayang ilugar yang kalokohan mo?" sabi pa niya nung hindi nakasagot si Jack.

Napanganga nalang si Jack then he managed to say, "Dude, what are you talking about?" with confusion all over his face. "Stop acting like a kid." Jr said then walked away. Jack turned to me then asked, "What did I do?" I didn't know what to say kaya I just shook my head.

Napatingin ako kay Ali na nakapanood ng mga nangyari, she seemed confused as well. After the scene, I noticed that she gazed into something and when I looked at it, it wasn't something. It was someone! I saw May smirking and she's not too far from our place. I was still looking at her when Jack called my name. "Sheng! Tara na." medyo malayo na siya sakin. Kanina pa pala siya naglalakad.

Tumakbo ako para maabutan si Jack, pero natisod ako then I dived into the effing sand. Lumapit agad sakin si Jack pero imbis na pagtawanan siya ako ay nakangiti lang siya at tinulungan ako. "Did it bother you?" I immediately asked after he got me up. Alam kong affected siya sa small misunderstanding nila ni Jr. "Slight. Pero hayaan mo na. Magkakabati din kami nun!" masigla niyang sabi. I nodded with a sly smile. He's really handsome, but wtf Sheng?! What are you saying?!
