Torn Between Dreams and Reality

CHAPTER 55 Undecided

CHAPTER 55 Undecided

Papalapit na ng papalapit ang pasukan. Matatapos na ang Christmas vacation. Good bye siesta and family gatherings. Hello stressful, near-end, school responsibilities.

Isa pang stressful na haharapin ko pagdating ng pasukan ay ang pagpili kung anong kwintas ang isusuot ko.

Oo, I will choose between the two of them. I believe it’s time.

Minsan natatawa nga ako eh. Imagine, I am pressured because of a necklace. I can’t believe that a single jewelry can make my life so freaking hard.

But I still don’t know who to choose.

Guess what, I know this may sound a little too girly and maybe pathetic or whatever you call it, but I look into teen magazines, read some love-related books and stuff to help me decide.

Yes, you may also call it a little too desperate.

Then school is back and viola! I still haven’t decided yet.

I saw Rence and Zac at the corridor. No, actually they saw me first; I’ve just known that they’re there when two persons hugged me from my back.

“I missed you, my bitch,” bati ni Zac.

So isa pala ako sa mga bitches nya, gano’n?!

Si Rence walang sinabi, ginulo nya lang ng ginulo yung buhok ko.

“Ano ba! Wala akong dalang suklay!” sabi ko sa kanya.

“I’ll buy you one.” – Rence

Wala naman akong imik sa sinabi nya.

Sa isang pagkakataon, nagkatitigan kaming tatlo at sabay-sabay napa-ngiti. Pagkatapos no’n, sabik na sabik naming niyakap ang isa’t-isa na may kasama pang pagtalon.

I’m so happy that they’re back! :)))

Binaybay namin ang corridor ng naka-akbay sa’kin si Rence at hawak naman ni Zac ang kaliwa kong kamay.

As expected, every human being passing by the halls of the cursed building for every teen ager like me, who doesn’t like to study, are looking inquisitively and disgusted at us. Curious yung mga kababaihang nagkakandarapa sa dalawang lalaking katabi ko dahil gusto nilang malaman kung bakit gano’n ang trato sa’kin ng mga crush nila. Nakasisiguro akong pinapatay na nila ako sa isip nila by now HAHA! :P

Sa kabilang banda, the boys were disgusted at us, or maybe at me. I guess they think I’m really a bitch for having two suitors and two super-mega close guy friends.

Siran-sira na talaga ang reputasyon ko sa paaralang ‘to. Oh well, I don’t care, and even the care bears don’t care!

But something that I would like to care about is Zac. Did he just hugged me and Rence while in a jumping motion?!

Kagabi lang daw sila nakarating ng NAIA. Kinotongan ko nga sila pareho dahil hindi man lang ako tinext pagkadating nila. Pero hindi na din ako nagtampo, ‘cause they said they’re dead tired so they immediately fell asleep when they arrived at their unit.

Pumasok na kami sa room.

Nakita kong naka-upo na si Dwight sa upuan nya.
