[Unexpected]

3 - Confession and Rejection

The next day..

Naghanda na si Kate na pumunta sa school. Ayos na ayos siya ngayon para lang kay Zander.

Naglagay pa siya ng clip sa buhok niya. Habang nakatingin sa salamin, she inhaled and exhaled. "You can do it, Kate! Fighting!"

KATE'S POV

I walked down to the living room. "Ma, alis na ko. Medyo late ako uuwi mamaya. May pupuntahan kasi akong importante." I said and she walked towards me and kissed my cheek.

"Okay. Siguraduhin mo lang na maayos yang pupuntahan mo ah! Pag hindi, nako Eloisa makikita mo!" Eto nanaman yung favorite line ng mama ko!

"Yes, ma. Bye!" I waved at her and she smiled at me.

"Be careful, anak!" She waved back.

I walked towards the school and as usual, kasama ko ulit sila Lia at Khlea.

Marami nanamang tao sa hallway. Pero, sanay na kami!

Nakipagsiksikan na lang kami. May biglang humila ng kamay ko, muntikan nanaman akong matapilok.

Nang nakalabas na ko sa siksikan, nakita ko si Darius na nakangiti sakin. Siya pala yung humila sakin? Akala ko si Zander..

"Good morning, beautiful." He said.

"Good morning." I said and inakbayan niya ko na para bang close kami?! Feeling close rin pala siya!

"Darius.." Mukhang nalungkot ang mga fans niya sa ginagawa ni Darius.

Yung iba naman, shiniship pa kami! Haysst!

"Punta na tayo sa classroom!" Sabi niya.

"Wait, classmate kita?"

"Yup. Not only classmate but also seatmate." He grinned.

"Gosh." I sighed.

"Masaya naman akong kasama diba?"

"Ewan ko sayo!" Lumayo ako sa kaniya. Nahiwalay tuloy ako sa mga best friends ko!

"I'll take that as a yes!" He shouted.

Oo. I'll admit it. Masaya siyang kasama at madali lang siyang maging kaibigan.

AUTHOR'S POV

Habang naglalakad sila Khlea at Lia, napansin nilang wala na si Kate.

They looked around to look for her when Khlea suddenly bumped into someone.

She fell on the ground. "Are you blind?" She looked up and saw Jake chewing a gum while laughing at her.

When it comes to boys, walang laban si Khlea. Tumahimik na lang siya.

Dahan dahan siyang tumayo. "Sorry.." She apologized. She walked away but she's struggling to walk.

She got a sprain and she's walking in pain but she's trying to endure it.

Napansin ito ni Jake at agad siyang lumapit kay Khlea. Hinila niya ang kamay niya at napaharap si Khlea sa kaniya. "Ouch.." She whispered.

Lumuhod si Jake sa harap niya. "Saan masakit?" He asked.

"M-My right foot.."

Jake sighed and he suddenly carried her up in bridal style. "J-Jake? Kaya ko namang mag lakad.."

"Tsk. Wag ka na ngang maarte. Ikaw na nga tong tinutulungan."

Khlea looked down and bit her lips. She can smell his fragrance and she blushed.
