So CLOSE But Still So FAR

Chapter 25: Is this for Real?

[Relle's POV]

As to what our beloved subject teachers did to us yesterday. Almost all of my classmates are still doing their assignments.

" Relle,Ano yung topic niyo para sa drama scene?"Bigla nalang tanong ni Nette.

"Isang babae ang umasa at tinawag pa na assuming ng crush niyang may girlfriend na.Idagdag mo pa daw yung mga kaibigan ng crush niya Na tinawag siyang assuming." Paliwanag ko.

It's not supposed to be hard.Sadyang ako lang yung napagkaisahan nila Na assuming girl.

"Eh ikaw? Ano yung sa inyo?" Pagtatanong ko sa kanya.

She gave me a smile. That rare smile Na minsan ko lang makita.It's either when she's hurt or has a very bad intention.Either way, it's scary.

"Well, it's simple actually and I became the lead. An Indenial girl with a crush in somebody. I don't know how to do it though.Ang hirap maging Indenial." Sabi ni Nette.

I raised an eyebrow?

Is she for real?

"Yeah??" I said, disbelief present in my voice.

"Oh?Ano Na naman yang tono Na iyan?" Tanong niya.

"Wala!" I simply said.

I looked away.Mahirap Na!

But it was a very very very wrong move.

Tss... Wala Na bang iba pang lugar silang mapuntahan? Nakakainis Na ha...

"Oh?Ba't ansama ng tingin mo Kay Mandy at Alex?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Nette.

I just looked at her, annoyed.

"Hindi naman ah?Baka naman imagination mo lang yun!" Sabi ko nalang.

"Ba't ang defensive mo?" Pagtatanong niya.Nang-iinis ba to? Kasi sobrang Naiinis Na talaga ako eh.

"Hindi mo ba gagawin yung assignment mo?" Pag-iiba ko sa topic.

"Tss..tapos Na ako Noh.Tsaka....teka nga.... Wag mo nga ibahin ang topic." Sagot niya at talagang isang nakakadistorbong tingin ang binigay niya sa akin.

Problema nito?

Sasagot Na sana ako ng marinig ko si Gred Na nagsalita.

"You're weird! Bakit palagi ka ng bumubuntot sa akin?May problema ba?"

I looked at her at kinakausap niya si Timmy?

What is up with people today?

"Wala lang.Bawal ka Na bang lapitan ngayon? Kasama kaya kita sa group sa drama.Tiningnan ko lang kung okay ka pa." Sagot ni Timmy.

May change of heart ba dito?

I looked at Nette and she was raising her eyebrow.

"Kaya ko pa. Nothing can stop me Kahit pa magkasakit ako." Sabi lang ni Gred.

I raised an eyebrow.

"May hindi ba kami nalalaman?" Nagtatakang tanong ko.

Gred just stared at me and then

"Wala naman." Plain niyang sabi.

(0o0)

Magsasalita pa sana ako but dumating Na si Maam A.

"Good morning class.Please take out your textbooks and open to page 44 and answer activities 1-4 in a one whole sheet of paper." Sabi ni Maam and I just sat there,dumbfounded.
