Me and Chase

m&c: 5

(Daurin's POV)

So today's a day off from school, and Camille decided to sleepover here tonight. It's currently 5 in the afternoon wala akong ginawa kundi manood ng RomCom movies habang inaantay si Camz na dumating.

*PING!*

Chase Connors sent you a message.

My heart started beating wildly and I got nervous. Today, I decided to tell Camille everything I've been feeling. Natatakot na kase ako, I really need someone to talk to about this sickness I have.

Anyway, I opened the message and It was just him asking how my weekend's going.

Chase: How's your day going? Mine's pretty boring. .-.

Daurin: RomCom movies aaall daaaay! Waiting for Camille to come over for a sleepover. :))

Chase: Movies ka lang today? sana sinabihan mo ko bago dumating si Camille. edi sana magkasama tayong nanuod ng movies, with matching cuddling pa! ;) Hahahahaha jk.

I felt my face heat-up and my hands started to shake. I didn't know why but I was sweating as well. Ugh! I think I'm sick.

I was gonna reply when suddenly Chase sent another message,

Chase: Could I get your number?

Daurin: Number? Bakit? para san? Baka pagtripan mo lang ako!

Chase: Di ah! Just.. reasons.

I gave my number and biglang may kumatok sa door, It was Camille. She was finally here so I ignored my phone and started to bond with my beastfriend! We stayed-up watching movies that made us cry and sob. Nag makeup-an din kame, and nag board games. Dalawa lang kami pero I had the best time. Then bigla akong nagkaopportunity na mag-open up about sa nararamdaman kong sakit, kase biglang nagppaint ng nails si Camz.

"Camille.." panimula ko, at tinignan ko siya with a serious face.

"W-what?" halatang kabadong sagot niya,

"May sakit yata ako.."

Nanlaki ang mata niya at napatigil siya sa ginawa niya, "Ano?!"

"I don't know.. pero, It's like this." I let out a sigh, and I saw her listening attentively.

"There are some certain times na parang naninikip dibdib ko, tapos nakakalimutan ko kung pano huminga. Nagkakaroon din ako ng panandaliang lagnat. Grabe, as in yung mukha ko nagiging mas pula pa sa kulay na pula. Nanginginig tuhod ko, tapos yung puso ko.. bumibilis yung tibok.. pero ang pinagtataka ko, nangyayare lang 'to pag nandyan si Chase. Do you think I should go to a doctor?"

I saw Camille's expression change, at bigla siyang napatawa ng sobrang lakas na halos naluluha na siya kakatawa. I got pissed, and sinigawan ko siya, "Ba't ka ba tumatawa?! Seryoso 'to! Baka mamatay na ako. Tapos tumatawa-tawa ka pa diyan?!"

Patuloy siyang tumawa at nahulog na siya sa kama sa sobrang tawa niya. After nun ay tinry niyang kalmahin sarili niya, at bigla siyang nagsalita.

"Let me get this straight, Lumalakas tibok ng puso mo, bumibilis. diba?"

"Oo." sagot ko, na may halong pagtataka.

"Pinapawisan ka din ba?"

"Oo!"

"Yung pisngi mo sa sobrang init, parang nilalagnat?"

"Oo!! Oo!"

"And nangyayari lang 'to pag kausap mo, or nakikita mo si Chase, tama?" she asked trying to hold-in her laugh.
