Change and Chances

Chapter 18 - Help

As soon as Aramis and I got to the university, I received a text message from Max. She was asking to where the hell we are because apparently, the boys got into trouble. So, we then rushed to where they are.

Sa tapat mismo ng Admission's office, naabutan naming kinikwelyuhan ng isang lalaking estudyante si Axl at si Axl naman ang hindi nagpapatalo dito.

"Bitiwan mo nga ko! Ano bang problema mo?!" Axl yelled when we're almost near them.

"Hindi ka naman siguro tanga di ba?" the student replied on a murderous tone.

I immediately recognized the voice of that student. Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali dahil kahit paminsan ko lang naririnig ang boses na iyon ay tandang tanda ko iyon.

At kahit sinong babae ang makarinig ng boses na yun sa university na ito, I'm sure makikilala at makikilala din nila kung sino ang tinutukoy ko. My guess was then confirmed as soon as I got to Axl's rescue.

The familiar student was none other than, Chad Gomez.

Kung may isang tao na pwedeng makatapat kay Aramis para sa paningin ko at marahil maging sa paningin ng lahat, si Chad na iyon.

Chad is f-ucking hot as hell. His spanish features are so strong that you can consider it as a sin. Demi-God. Athletic. Talented mapa-arts o music. Sobra ding talino. He's the President of the student body.

And basically, he's every girl's dream boyfriend.

Plus, he's filthy rich. Chad came from a prominent famiy kung kaya't walang estudyante ang hindi nakakakilala sa kanya at given na rin dahil pag mamay-ari ng family nila ang univeristy.

And not that he's bragging about it, usap usapan na din sa campus na sya ang magiging successor ng family business nila.

Chad Gomez? Yes, he's the total package. Sobra sobra pa.

The thing is, and cliché as it may sound, sobrang suplado nito. Hindi ito basta basta nakikipag-usap kung kani-kanino lalo na sa babae.

We've been block mates ever since I started studying in this school at sa tagal yun, apat na babae lang ang nakita kong komportable nyang kinakausap.

The other three girls are part of his clique and as far as I know, kaibigan at kasama nya ang mga iyon since High school. And the fourth girl mentioned in his list, is me.

I became part of that list for two reasons: the first reason is, hindi ko sya type.

I don't ogle at him nor lose my head whenever he walks by. Ni hindi din ako nauutal o natatanga kapag nandyan sya sa harap ko.

Sa tuwing magkakasalubong kami ay hindi ako mapapa-hinto o napapatingin sa kanya at tuloy-tuloy lang ang lakad ko. Sa madaling salita, wala syang epekto sakin.

He was so used to girls wanting his attention kung kaya't nung isang beses kaming naging mag-partner for reporting, he noticed that I wasn't really interested in him. Maayos ko lang na ginagawa ang part ko kaya simula din nun we became sort of friends.

"What's going on here?" tanong ko sa kanila at pareho namang napatingin sina Axl at Chad sakin.

"Ashinyah. / A'ishah." Sabay na sabi ni Axl at Chad.

'A'ishah?" nagtatakang sabi naman ni Aramis.
