When Past takes over Present

Chapter 15: Clash of Gangs

Ashlyn's POV

***

After that moment, I felt relieved. Alam ko kasi na kapag hindi pa niya nalalaman yun, baka anong gawin niya, or should I say nila kay Ethan.

Kuya Zayne is the leader of his gang, kaya nakakatakot kung anong pwede niyang gawin.

"Sige na kuya. Alis na!", utos ko sa kanya. Aalis na sana siya nang napansin niya yung regalo nila Elaine at Jhasper.

"Who gave you that?", tanong ni kuya na nakaturo sa regalo.

"It's from Elaine and Jhasper", I replied.

"Why don't you open it?", sabi ni kuya at sinunod ko nalang siya. It was a....photo album? I opened it and I saw pictures, our childhood pictures. We were having a great time laughing at the pictures when a photo caught our eyes and attention. Eto yung mga pic nung nag-sleep over sila.

"What the hell?!!", napasigaw si kuya nung nakita yung pic namin ni Ethan na ginagawa yung dare..(yung hug sa likod at kiss sa cheeks. Kahit ako nagulat.

"Kuya, calm down. That was just a dare...", sabi ko.

"Is this also a dare?", tanong niya sabay turo sa pic na magkakatabi kami nila Kate. I'm so dead.

"Kuya relax. Request din naman nila Kate at Nessa yun...", paliwanag ko.

"Fine..", he said and gave me a kiss on the forehead before leaving my room.

The next morning, I woke up early to talk to Elaine. I did my morning routines and headed to school

~~Break time~~

I rushed to the rooftop. And as expected, andun sila.

"Elaine!", I shouted to get her attention.

"Oh, ano nanamang ginawa ko?", sabi naman niya. Linabas ko yung photo album at hinarap 'to sa kanya.

"So...ngayon mo palang pala yan nabubuksan?", tanong ni Ethan. Wait...what? I looked at them with puzzled eyes.

"They gave me one too...", sabi ulit niya.

"So kayo pang meron?", tanong ni Cheska.

"Yup, silang dalawa lang. Moment nila yun noh", sabi naman ni Jhasper. Hay...why do I have the craziest friends? But, I'm still happy to have them.

After 2 months...

I can't believe it, ang tagal na pala. Time sure goes fast. Umalis na rin si kuya, break lang daw niya yung pag-uwi dito dati. Sinunod na rin namin yung sabi ni Brittney na ilayo si Elaine kay Chris pero syempre, hindi namin pinapahalata kay Elaine.

Andito kami ngayon sa rooftop, naayos na yung construction dati...

"Ugh...I'm bored!", reklamo ni Cheska.

"Walang magawa!", sabi naman ni Jhasper.

"Malamang! Boring nga eh! Kaya walang magawa!", sabi naman ni Cheska. Hay nako...eto nanaman sila...bangayan to the max! Speaking of max, kumusta na kaya si Maxine?
