The Fake NERD

Chapter 28: I always get what i want

I couldn't forget how I ran away from him last week. Maslalo lang ako natakot at maslalo akong nagkaroon ng rason na iwasan siya ngayong alam na niyang may gusto ako sa kanya.

Four days ago, dumating naman na si Czes, may permit man siya na mag absent ng ilang weeks, kailangan nuya din mag cope up sa mga namiss niya. One to two weeks lang naman dapat kasi siya mawawala. Eh sobrang namiss siya ng parents niya, pinag extend muna ng ilang araw.

At tinulungan ko naman siya na magkeep up. Maslalo lang akong nadistract sa ibang mga bagay kaya for me its a good thing.

Good thing, okay na din si Alex. Magkakasama kami ngayon sa lunch break sa cafeteria. Kaming tatlo magkakasama. At sa ilang beses na tanong ni Czes these past few days,

"Nasaan si Drew?" I winced at his name.

Alex was eating and he didn't notice my reaction, however, Czes did.

"Jana?"

I blushed. "I don't know."

She eyed me suspiciously. Binigyan niya ko ng "explain later" look. Its funny you see, nagkakilala lang kami lately pero parang kilalang kilala niya nako in a way na alam niya kung nagsisinungaling ako or whatever.

Hinawakan ni Alex yung kamay ko. He gave me a small smile and I pecked his cheek feeling my heart beating fast

"You want me to walk you in class?" Tanong niya.

Pero masyado pang maaga. Sensing Czes, napatingin siya sa amin at nagsalita.

"Um. Pwede Alex mauna ka nalang muna? Gusto ko pa kasing kausapin si Jana."

He squeezed my hand and kissed my forehead. My cheeks heated up. "See you later hmm?"

I nodded bluntly.

At umalis na siya.

"You two are soooo cute. Kahit shinip ko si Drew sayo, umm I guess si Alex talaga ang nakapagpapasaya sayo so yeah. I am happy for you."

"I'm happy with him too."

"Well, what about Drew?" Tanong niya.

She was looking at me for an answer. Eager to know, she called out to me. "Jana?"

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.

"Cause Jana? I knew from the start there was something between you two. Nagulat na lang ako nung nalaman ko kay Alex."

"I-I don't know."

"Hm? What has been happening?"

Di ko alam kung sasabihin ko na sa kanya. Hindi pa ko handa. Masyadong magiging kumplikado ang lahat.

Sasagot na sana ako nung tumabi bigla sakin si Drew. "Hi ladies." He winked at Czes.

Anong ginagawa niya dito?

"Oh, speaking of the devil." Czes smiled.

Nafeel kong tumingin sakin si Drew. I blushed. "Pinag uusapan niyo ko?"

"Y-"

"Nope. Actually, Czes and I have class kaya aalis na kami." tumayo ako at tinignan si Czes.

She looked confused, eyes looking at Drew and me with her brows furrowed. I gave her a look and she shook her head.

Tumayo na rin siya. Aalis na sana kaming dalawa. "You don't have to be cold whenever I'm around." He spoke.

"I told you, if you don't stay away, I will. Kaya sumuko ka na." My heart hurt when the words left my mouth.

I felt like I wanted to rip my head off. Regret washed over me when I saw hurt in his eyes.

"Di ako susuko, Jana. Hangga't alam kong may laban ako, di ako susuko. I always get what I want."

Dug dug dug dug

Stop it!

Umalis ka na!

I walked away and Czes followed.

Nung umabot kami sa garden, tumakbo papunta si Czes sa harap ko, completely stopping me from getting to class.

"What. Was. That." She asked.

"What was what?"

"Wag kang patay baby. Spill!" I grimaced.

"Umm." I started. Pero wala talaga akong masabi.

She groaned. "You're hopeless."

"Where do I start?"

"From the beginning. When I was gone."

So I did. Kinwento ko sa kanya. Lahat lahat.

Pero one thing got stuck on my mind

I always get what I want

--

Yes a filler chapter. Terrible right?i just want to bring Czes back because I'm going to need her in the coming chapters.
