So CLOSE But Still So FAR

Chapter 10:Secrets revealed

[Relle's POV]

Another day in the school year namin at hindi ko alam kung bakit pero I know something is about to happen na alam kong hindi maganda.I know this gut feeling at this gut feeling has never failed me, not even once.

It's Thursday today.Second week of classes and well mabilis lang talaga ang oras, well with misunderstandings and bullying, hindi ko alam kung mabilis ba ang oras o sadyang feel ko lang? Pero mabilis talaga eh, which is good news.  I wish to finish my SHS already.

Nandito kami ngayon sa library at well nagbabasa ng libro at naghahanap ng answer sa assignments namin. Bakit hindi kami nag google nalang? Wala po kaming load para doon at well, ang sarap kayang tumambay sa library, just so you know. Napaka relaxing sa feeling.

"I can't help but think about how our life ended up like this." Bigla nalang nasabi ni Nette. I looked up from the book I am reading.

"I don't know.We've been down the dumps after what happened last Valentine's."Sabi ni Berry.

Gred gave no reaction,its as if she is thinking about something. Out of all of us, she was the most affected. She did say na bigla nalang sumikip yung dibdib niya after niyang gawin ang iyakan si crush ng sobra sobra challenge.

" Who wouldn't? Your crush doesn't return your feelings and wasted your efforts making the letter and those chocolates? Yeah! what a great feeling. I really want to experience that again. "Nette sarcastically said. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Gusto ko kayong tanungin guys." Sabi ko sa kanila. And I hope I don't ever regret this.

"Go!" Sabay na sabi nila except Gred na may malayong tingin na naman. Its been going on for a week now. Pero, that aside, may tanong pa akong kailangan nilang masagot.

"Im going to ask Nette first.Do you still have feelings for Alvin?" Tanong ko pero may pag-aalinlangan. Aba, iba pa naman tong si Nette pag nainis o di kaya na offend.

"Wala na.I said growing lang siya pero namatay na yung feelings kong iyon. Namatay na iyon the moment that he wasted all my efforts,thank you very much!" Sabi niya.

"Hindi ko alam kung Indenial lang siya o totoo na iyan."komento ni Berry. I nodded, in agreement.

" Ikaw Berry? Mayroon ka pa bang feelings para kay Ronnie? You fell for him to hard,hindi ba?"Pagtatanong ko sa kanya. There was a sparkle in her eyes.

"Wala noh.Kailan ba ako nagkafeelings doon?Hahaha" Sabi niya.I grew confused. I looked at Nette and Nette looked at me. We were both confused.

Wait?Akala ko ba si Berry ang playing safe at si Nette ang Indenial. Ba't parang silang dalawa na silang in denial?

"Eh,ikaw?wala na ba talaga diyan sa puso mo si Kayl kahit may GF na siya?" Pabalik na tanong ni Nette.

"Nope!" Sabi ko popping the 'p'. Aba, sabi nga ni mama, move on -move on din pag may time kahit walang kayo.

I then noticed something. Kanina pa tahimik si Gred at hindi kumikibo.

I waved my hand in front of her face.

"Hoy!Anyare?Ba't ka tulaley?" Pagtatanong ko at parang nabalik lang siya sa reality.

She looked at us confused and then suddenly smiled. Her favorite facade when she's troubled or hurt. Something is bothering her, I can feel it!

"May iniisip lang ako. About doon sa bago naming kapitbahay? Sorry! May tanong ka ba?" She said and asked.

"Are you over your crush on Timmy yet?" Pagtatanong ko.
