DILLENNA HEERA's POINT OF VIEW:

From afar, I caught Ayden staring fixedly at Amity. Isn't it cute? I giggled secretly as I glanced at Amity who's reading a book beside me. Siniko ko siya.

"What?"

"Is Ayden courting you?"

"No!"she instantly replied.

"Flirting?"

"Dillenna!"

"Sorry. I forgot! Si Bryce pala ang gusto mo."wika niya at saka tumawa ng malakas.

"Hey! Baka marinig ka nila."

"Nasa kusina sila 'no? A... Don't you really like Ayden? Because I think he likes you and he's so cute."

Amity just rolled her eyes at me and fixed her eyes again to the book. Hindi na ako nagpaalam nang iwan ko siya para puntahan si Theon.

"Hi Babe! How are you doing?"I chirped as I hugged him from the back.

Napatingin ako kay Matthew na nakatitig sa'kin.

"M—matt... I haven't noticed you here. Akala ko si Bryce at si Gavin lang ang nandito with my Theon."bati ko sa kanya.

I didn't expect to see him. It's been a month since I last saw him with the circle. I looked up to see Theon's face. His jaw clenched. Hinigpitan ko ang pagkakayakap ko sa kanya.

"Gavin wasn't able to come, D."Singit ni Bryce. "Nagluluksa sa kapangitan niya. Hahahaha."

He's really a jerk. Well, they all are! I just really love the jerkest of them all. Yay.

"TJ, I'm done slicing here!"Bryce proudly exclaimed. "Look, Heera. Ang galing ko ano?"

"Tss. Just put it there Bryce."Theon answered him.

"Love."tawag ko sa kanya. Hindi parin niya ako pinapansin. Patuloy lang siya sa ginagawa niya.

"D... Samahan mo na lang kaya ako sa bestfriend mo?"tawag ni Bryce.

Napabuntong hininga ako nang bumitiw ako sa pagyakap sa kanya. I tried to wear my smile and faced Bryce.

"That—that's better."I muttered.

Nang makarating kami sa sala ay iniwan ko si Bryce kay Amity. I prefered to go upstairs and locked myself in our room. I felt so humiliated for what he's done in the kitchen. I can't believe he did it to me. I shove the tears away from my eyes.

Galit ba siya dahil kinausap ko si Matt? Wala naman akong masamang ginawa. Kinausap ko lang siya. Kinausap ko lang siya! I leaned my head on my knees and sobbed. Nakakahiya. Para akong praning kanina. Ano nalang kaya ang iniisip ni Bryce? O ni Matt?

Ilang minuto ay narinig ko ang sunod-sunod na katok sa pinto.

"D. Open the door please. It's I. Amity."

I stood up and sighed heavily as I opened the door. Niyakap ko siya kaagad nang bumungad siya sa harapan ko.

"D? Bakit?"

"He's so unbecoming A. Pinahiya niya ako sa harapan nina Bryce at Matt. I was trying to be sweet as I approached him. Tapos, hindi niya ako pinansin."

"He's maybe just busy cooking, I guess—"

"Kaya mas nagawa pa akong pansinin ni Bryce while he's helping him? Mahirap ba'ng tingnan man lang ako? Just go back there A. Ayokong kumain."

"If you're not going to eat, so am I. You starve, I starve. You die, I die."pagbibito niyang nagtagumpay naman sa pagpangiti sa'kin.

Somehow, my feeling lightened up a bit because of her. We just stayed in bed until he got in the room.

"Can you leave us for a while, Amity?"

"Sure—"

"No. She's staying. Don't leave A. You get out of here Theon. I don't want to see you."

"D—"awat sa'kin ni Amity.

Kahit hinawakan ko siya ay lumabas parin siya ng kwarto. Tears are threatening from my eyes again as he took my hand.

"I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry. I don't mean to hurt you."

"You embarrassed me in front of your friends!"

"I know. I'm sorry. I was just jealous. You were stammering when you called out his name. You can't blame me Dillenna. You once loved him—"

"That's ridiculous Theon!"

"I know. I know I'm wrong. I'm so sorry. I love you."

He pulled me to his chest and pecked on my forehead.

"I love you baby."

He kissed my forehead again.

"I love you. Forgive me please."

His grip of me tightened when I hugged him back.

"Don't ever do it again Theon. It hurt me a lot."

"Yes Baby. I won't. I won't. I love you." He cupped my chin and kissed my lips. "Can I have my lunch here?"he asked playfully and winked at me kaya pinalo ko siya sa dibdib.

"No! You're a jerk!"

"Who's the jerk?"asar niya sa'kin nang kargahin niya ako na sobrang ikinagulat ko.

"Theon. Put me down!"

He just laughed at me and ignored my plea. He's carrying me 'til we reached the dining room. Now everyone's looking at us. Pinalo ko siya sa dibdib saka niya ako pinaupo ng maayos. Feeling ko mas pula pa 'yong mukha ko sa sauce na nasa harapan ko.

"Are you sure that the two of you haven't taken your lunch upstairs?"malisyosong saad ni Bryce na tumatawa pa.

"Shut up Bryce. You're a moron!"asik ko sa kanya.

We've taken our lunch peacefully except when Theon fed me and Bryce mimicked us with Amity. Bryce got the glares-like-daggers from her, of course, which I firmly believe he deserves. Sa huli, sila ang naging tampulan ng tukso namin. Madaling hapon na ng magpaalam sila. Bryce volunteered to drive Amity home. However, I realized Amity's got her car as well.

"Nasiraan yata ako."Ayden proclaimed when he got out of the car after few attempts to start the engine. "Can I hitch a ride, Amity?"

She rolled her eyeballs and sighed as she unlocked the door. Nginisian ako ni Ayden bago siya pumasok sa kotse ni A.

"A, call me when you get home, okay!?"

Tumango siya habang nginitian ako.

"Bye couple! See you in school tomorrow!"sigaw ni Bryce bago sila tuluyang umalis.

With him embracing me, I leaned my head down on his chest. Ilang minuto din kaming nakatayo ng gano'n.

"Shall we get in?"

Nakahawak siya sa braso ko habang naglalakad kami pabalik sa loob ng bahay. Two weeks from now will be February 14. I have planned something for him already.
