Date With The Arrogant: Chapter 26

My heart pounded so fast lalo na nang yakapin din pabalik ni Finn si Bianca. Now she’s really back. His first love’s back. Dumating na yung araw na kinatatakutan ko. Bakit ngayon pa sya dumating kung kailan nabuhayan na ko ng pag-asa? Life is really ironic. Once you’re in deep happiness, next you’ll be completely aching with pain.

“Bianca, when did you arrive?” Asked Finn, still in shock after seeing her.

The girl smiled as she pinched his cheeks. “Just got back last Friday Mr. James. I did not call you intentionally because I want it to be a surprise but it turned out you were not here last Friday. So I went rushing here after I learned from your dad that you all went in Davao and today’s your arrival. Sayang, hindi ako umabot. Gusto ko din sanang sumama sa inyo eh.”

She then looked at the guys, giving a friendly smile. “Hey ChocoPaps, how are you huh?”

“We’re good. Bianca, we missed you!” Hiro said smiling from ear to ear.

“Finally, the vocalist’s first love is back.” Martin said afterwards.

I was damn hurt after hearing Martin’s statement. Tengene. Hindi ba iniisip ni Martin na may magseselos dahil sa sinabi nya?

“So how’s New York, B?” Bessie asked.

Okay, for a moment. Donna, Chix and I felt out of place in this group. Tahimik lang kami habang pinapakinggan silang mag-usap. I think all of us felt intimidated toward this girl, especially me, knowing that she’s Finn’s first love.

“Well everything’s good. New York’s still New York, y’know.” She smiled childishly. “I miss hanging out with you guys. Jamming tayo once we arrived, okay?” She then shifted her look at us, giving us her cute smile. “Wow, so you’re with these pretty girls huh?” She asked the boys.

“Hello. I’m Bianca.” Sabi nyang nakangiti samin. Her voice is sweet as she introduced herself. She reached out her hand for a handshake. Lahat naman kami nakipagkamay sa kanya.

“So you’re these boys’ girlfriends?” She paused as if thinking. “Uhh, I guess. You’re Hiro’s girlfriend.” Nakangiti nyang sabi kay Chix who nodded at her and she too, smiled at Bianca.

“And this pretty girl here, girlfriend ka ni Martin noh?” Tanong nya naman kay Donna.

“No. I’m not. I’m not anyone’s girlfriend here.” Sagot naman ni Donna sa kanya. I looked at Martin. Not any hint of emotion can be seen on his face.

“Oh.” Tanging nasambit ni Bianca pagkaraan ay sakin naman sya tumingin. “And finally,” she gave me a friendly smile. “I am very sure you’re Ivan’s girlfriend.”

I was about to answer her when suddenly, Finn spoke. “Hey guys. I think the van is already here.”

Tumingin kami sa direksyon na tinuro ni Finn at nakita nga namin ang familiar na van ni Hiro na naghatid din samin dito sa airport noon. Lahat naman kami ay sumakay na doon, kasama si Bianca.

She seems kind and nice. She’s pretty and friendly pero ewan ko ba. I don’t like her the moment I knew her name. To make it short, ayoko sa kanya kasi sya si Bianca.

So while on our way, tahimik lang akong pinapanuod ang mga sasakyan sa kalsada. Wala ang isip ko sa loob ng van, malayo itong lumilipad sa hindi ko alam sa kung saan. Basta ang alam ko lang, nakacenter kay Bianca ang usapan. About New York, about the old times among the five of them. Minsan nga parang gusto ko nang lumabas ng sasakyan eh. Outcast ako dito, pakiramdam ko.

“Ally, you okay?” Tanong sakin ni Bessie. Katabi ko sya ngayon. Tinanguan ko lang sya. Wala ako sa mood makipag-usap ngayon.

“You sure?” Tanong ulit nya. This time, tumango akong nakangiti sa kanya para ipakita sa kanyang okay lang ako. Mukang naniwala naman sya as he pats my head.
