Chapter 11

Luke's P.O.V

Pagkapasok ko sa school, I immediately headed to our hideout, I'm not in the mood to attend classes. Well, for now. I just don't want to feel an awkward atmosphere at panigurado na mararamdaman ko 'yun pag pumasok ako sa classroom. Summer will surely not talk to me. Second, kukulitin lang ako ni Daezen na makipagbati kay Summer and I don't want to. Hindi ko naman kasalanan 'yon and for fck's sake pinagtanggol ko na nga siya at siya pa 'tong may ganang magalit? I don't get her really. I mentally hissed saka ko ibinagsak yung sarili ko sa sofa.

I checked my phone hoping that Summer texted me but I guess she's mad too. I sighed, okay if that's what she want then I'll let her. Bahala siyang huwag akong kausapin, I smirked. I'm confident Summer can't resist me, she'll miss me, not for now but maybe later. Nang nabuo ko na yung isip ko napangiti na lang ako, yup Luke you're just doing fine. 

Nakarinig naman ako ng tawanan, sila Eron 'yun, maya - maya pa ay narinig kong bumukas ang pinto at nandun sila lahat pwera lang kay Rade at Angelo. Napailing ako, I guess he's mad too but I'm used to it. Rade and I...well we used to be close back then. People change, at ayaw ko ng balikan pa yung pinagsamahan namin though we have the same circle of friends he just doesn't share his thoughts when I'm here. Maybe afraid because of what can I do? Tsk. I have the power, so what can he do?

"Nice! Ang lalim ng iniisip natin Luke ah?" Inangat ko naman ang tingin ko kay Sean, na ngayon naman ay hawak rubik's cube ko. Napakibit naman ako ng balikat at hindi na lang umimik.

"Sabi ko sa inyo eh, magpinsan talaga sila. Pagdating sa babae mahina." Rinig kong sambit ni Eron. Pinanliitan ko naman siya ng tingin how can he compare me to Rade? Tsk, just so you know Eron I'm way more better than Rade when it comes to everything.

Nagbukas naman uli ang pinto revealing Angelo na mukhang antok na antok pa. 

"Hindi kayo papasok?" Pambungad na tanong niya, kaya sabay - sabay naman sila nagtawanan.

"Tinatanong pa ba yan?"

"Seriously dude?"

"Masanay ka na lang."

"Saan ba tambay mo ngayon Angelo?" Tanong ni Jace na siya lang ata ang matinong makakausap ni Angelo.

"Ah, sa detention room. Boring tsk."

"Bwisit na Rade, bomba! Ang sabi walang papasok eh." Napailing naman 'tong si Eron habang nakatingin sa phone niya.

Rade's closest here is Eron, and he's aware about my relationship with my cousin and I think alam naman niya ang rason pero wala naman siyang kinakampihan he's neutral pag nag - aaway, scratch that— lagi kaming nag - aaway but I can say he's neutral. I don't even know why they are close, samantalang inis si Rade sa maingay. Its not that I'm saying Eron is loud, but maloko siya. You may think Eron's closest are Aedan and Sean but no at the end of the day you can see Eron and Rade talking to each other seriously. Yes, you read that right. Eron can be serious sometimes—or maybe anytime they're alone. Parang may relasyon nga sila eh tsk. But I can assure you they're not gays.

"Luke, hindi ka papasok?" Tanong ni Jace sa akin. I just shook my head in response, I'm just not in the mood to talk. I sighed and checked my phone again. Argh, okay mukhang babawiin ko yung 50% na sinabi ko kanina na Summer can't resist me. Napakamot ako sa likod ng ulo ko saka ko inayos buhok ko habang nakatitig pa din sa phone ko. Hindi ko ba alam bakit ganito ang epekto ne'to sa akin. Unti - unti kong nararamdaman yung guilt but I just can't be the first one to say sorry.
