Too Late (On-hold)

Chapter 9~A Dream

"Mike! Mike! Don't go away I need you.." I cried. I saw him walking away from me with tears on his eyes.

"MIKE! MIKE! Please.." I shouted but still he's not looking back.

"Mike!

Mike!

MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKEEEEE!"

I woke up with tears. I'm glad it's just a dream. I can't see myself with another guy. I wish that it will not happen to me, to us.

"Ate! Wake up! We're going to be late. It's already 6:15 in the morning." Ericka knocked.

I look up to the wall clock and find out that she's not lying. I must get hurry.

6:43 am

We're heading our way to school now. While looking to window, I remember that our 1st monthsary is near. I can't think of a gift for him. It's like it is my first time to have a boyfriend. I blushed when I remembered all the sweet messages we shared, all the times we've been together for each other and all the songs we sang. I don't care about the people na nagsasabing "Ang jeje naman." "Ang cheap naman nila." All I care about is that we loved each other.

Oh! I didn't realized that we're here. Nasa school na pala kami.

Mia step out of their car and start walking towards the students' gate where the S.C.O. and C.A.T. Officers check the bags of the students. After being checked, she went to her classroom and start her normal day.

Several hours passed and finally the school bell rang and the students are racing to go out of the campus. While walking with her friends, she saw Mike with some other girl. She can't hide the feeling of jealousy so she walk fast toward Mike and when she finally reached for Mike, she grabbed Mike's left ar and said..

"Mike, di ba aalis tayo?"

"Huh?" he answered

Kinurot niya ng mahina si Mike sa tagiliran at pinandilatan ng mata.

"Ay oo nga pala. Sorry Babe, nakalimutan ko. Colyn, aalis na muna kami. Goodbye" Sagot naman ni Mike kahit na alam niya sa sarili niya na wala silang pupuntahan.

"Sino yung babaeng yun?" tanong ni Mia kay Mike.

"Ano bang sinasabi mo?" tanong naman pabalik ni Mike

"Yung kausap mo." Halata sa boses ni Mia ang pang-gigigil.

"Ahh, si Colyn ba? Kinakapatid ko yun sinabi niya lang na pupunta daw sila ng Daddy niya na ninong ko sa amin this Saturday."

"Bakit mo naman natanong? Nag-seselos ka nuh?" pang-aasar ni Mike kay Mia na ngayon ay pulang pula na dahil sa pang-aasar ni Mike.

" Ako? Nag-seselos? Hindi nuh! Feeling mo naman." Pag-tanggi ni Mia

Pinag-buksan ni Mike si Mia ng pinto ng kotse niya at saka pumasok sa kabilang pinto. Habang inii-start ni Mike ang kotse niya abala naman si Mia sa pagtetext sa mga kaibigan niya para humingi ng sorry sa pagiwan sa kanila nang pinuntahan niya si Mike kanina. Tinext naman niya agad si Ericka para sabihin na hindi siya sasabay dahil may pupuntahan sila ni Mike.

" Ehem" pambabasag ni Mike sa katahimikang namamayagpag sa buong kotse.

"What?" sagot ni Mia.

"So, saan mo balak pumunta?" Tanong naman ni Mike kay Mia.

"Ikaw bahala..." sagot ni Mia

Pinaandar na ni Mike ang kotse at sinimulan na magdrive. Habang nasa kalagitnaan ng biyahe, biglang napasigaw si Mia..
