Tadhana Times Four (KathNiel, JaDine, LizQuen, JulÑigo)

TTF 8: Pagsuyo Part 1

Nadine's POV

Tumakbo ako ng tumakbo hanggang sa makarating ako sa likod ng school. Why dis I even let myself think that everything would be better after what he did to me yesterday?

Why am I so stupid?

I hate myself for being like this, saka why do I care ba? At bakit ba ako nagdradrama? Hindi naman siya worth it ng pagiging gloomy ko diba? Pero nakakainis kasi e, ang bipolar ng mga lalake.

One minute ago, he's sweet, caring and everything nice. One minute after, he doesn't care about you. Sino bang hindi mababadtrip dun? Even if ayoko sakanya, because of he's ugali. Syempre I want to win.

And paano ako mananalo if I'm alone? Sakanya na nga galing yun diba. Kailangan niya ng partner para manalo. And now siya naman itong wala? Ugh, he's so annoying.

"You're here din pala." Narinig kong sabi ni Julia, I did not expect she's going to the same place.

Huminga ako ng malalim, "Wow, look at us. Parehong bad trip dahil sa dalawang lalake that doesn't even care sa competition." Sabi ko na natawa ako ng peke na sinakyan ni Julia.

"You know what? Who cares? So what, if ako lang ang manalo sa Quiz Bee at hindi kaming dalawa? At least I still stood up for our school pero siya, hindi. Kainin sana siya nung basketball na yun." Maarte na sabi ni Julia, Queen Bee e.

Pero alam mo, tama siya. "Exactly, I can still win as Ms. WSU without him being Mr. WSU. I can stand-out in singing, modeling without him. Tss, he's just a waste of time."

"True, Iñigo and James are just a product of waste of time." Both of us chuckled a bit. And then bumalik na kami sa classroom.

Ignoring James, and what happened earlier.

****

Nagising ako ng maaga ngayon, because of my phone. It keeps on ringing and ringing. Nakakainis na nga e! It's ruining my beauty rest. Hmp, I should have turned the silent button on before sleeping.

Nung chineck ko, automatic na napaikot ang mata ko. Seriously, him? God dammit. It's full of James' texts.

James
Hey..

James
Hello?

James
Um, Nadine?

James
Ah.. um

James
Um. Hey, I uhh.

James
Ok fine! I'm sorry. Sorry kung hindi ako naka attend ng practice. Sorry, I'm really sorry.

James
It's not like wala akong paki-alam sa contest. Pero Nadine, may dahilan kung bakit kinakailagan kong manalo kay Iñigo. Please, forgive me.

James
Nadine, please, promise bukas magprapractice ako!

James
Scratch that umaga na pala, 12:26 am pero di ka pa din sumasagot. Who am I kidding? Kasalanan ko din naman kasi.

James
Promise mas gagalingan at pagbubutihin ko na ang pagprapractice. I will take everything seriously.

James
Patawarin mo na ako, wag mo naman akong i-sent zone. At least read this. Okay na ako dun, at least alam mong I feel sorry.

James
I'm sorry, Nadine.

Ugh! Sa tingi niya makukuha niya ako sa mga sinasabi niya? Oh God, as if he's saying the truth. And bakit big deal sakanya na galit ako? He doesn't even care kung maghintay ako sakanya for hours kahapon.
