Fate Or Mistake? ✿ darren espanto

xxxii. the winner is...

Evangeline's POV

"Sino ka text mo?" I asked to JK, who was grinning foolishly at his phone.

"Wala lang, si Ava," He responded, barely even glancing at me.

Ganun? Naka move on agad sa akin? Not to say that I like him or anything, no...

"Edi wow," I sarcastically muttered, whilst JK was texting, too 'busy' to hear.

Silence was between us as he just resumed texting without a care in the world, as if I was invisible. I knew that JK and Ava were okay now, but I just naively assumed it was for the plan, which I don't want to continue anymore.

Bakit ganito? Kapag mahal ka nang isang tao, may mahal siyang iba. Kapag mahal ka nang iba, may chance ka sa kanya. Totally unfair ang buhay. Nakakainis masyado! Ugh! At nag kiss pa kami ni JK. Wala bang mahalaga nang kiss na yun?

Frustrated and hurt, I grabbed my bag and approached the door, not wanting to be with JK anymore. The pain was eating me alive whilst he was texting his 'love,' smiling like a goof whenever he looks at her, thinks of her, talks to her; anything about her. I couldn't take it anymore.

I despise Ava. I envy her. Nakakainis talaga siya.

"Where are you going?" JK questioned from behind me, as I felt his hot breath on my neck, which sent butterflies in my stomach.

I composed myself, keeping a stern expression in my face, "Where I can give you privacy. That's what you need, diba?" I snapped at him, twisting the door knob and quickly walking to the door.

"Angel, ano ba to?" JK shouted, going down the stairs as he touched my hand, preventing me from going.

"Don't worry. Ava will keep you company." I hissed, pushing him away and slamming the door behind me, tears escaping my eyes.

Why do I feel this way?

I entered my drivers car, sighing," Manong to the airport po. Pupunta ako sa Boracay."

The Next Day | Ava's POV

This is it. The Finals! I've never felt so excited yet so anxious before. Yet now, I have more belief in myself, thanks to mom and my family, especially dad. It hurts to think of him as I miss him so much, however I will persevere. I will win this for my loved ones.

This one's for you, Dad.

Composing myself rather than having to re-do my eyeliner, I walk towards my squad, all on their phones.

Discreetly, I sneak up on Vixie, "BOO!" I shout as she jumps in fear, trembling.

"MEEP! AVA YOU KNOW I HATE PHYSICAL CONTACT! THE TOUCHING, EVERYTHING! DO THAT TO DARREN, ANZAR, JK, BAILEY... AS LONG AS IT ISN'T ME!" She scolds me as she sprints behind Ylona as a barrier.

"Okay, okay, Vico!" I put my hands up in surrender.

"Ha, I forgot your name was Vico!" Anzar and Bailey comment in unison, with an 'oo nga pala' expression whilst laughing.
