Kim arrived at Erich's house with sweaty hands and she knows she's kind of nervous talking to her because she might not believe her. Kim stepped in front of the door and rang the doorbell. Not one minute Erich opened the door and let Kim in,
"Erich..." Kim started, "I know you're still mad but I'm sorry. I swear I would never hurt you! You are one of my best friends and I can't stand you getting hurt. Enchong is nothing to me now but a best friend. A good friend. That's it! I would do everything to get you and him back together but I don't know where he is right now.."
Erich sighed, "I believe you and also I'm sorry for overacting and what do you mean you don't know where he is right now?"
"He hasn't been in school for days and we went to his house and he wasn't there."
"WHAT! Wa--Wait! Where do we find him?!"
"Erich, relax. The boys are already trying to find him so relax."
Erich smiled, "Thank you Kim. and I believe you about what you said." Kim and Erich hugged each other and laughed.
~~~~~~~~
The next day at school. Everyone was talking and Xian came looking worried as ever,
"O, Xian. What's wrong?" Maja asked.
"Eto.." Xian said handing them a note.
Hon,
May pupuntahan ako. Wag kang mag alala, I'll be okay. I'm going to be back soon!
I promise! I love you!
-Kim
"Saan kaya pumunta si Kim?" Matt asked.
"I don't know! I have been trying to call her cellphone but she won't answer! Baka may nangyari sa kanya! I'm worried!" Xian said in panic.
"Xian, come back to earth! Come back to earth! Relax! Kim said she's okay. So relax and let's just wait for her to call or something." Lauren said.
Any minute, Erich phone rang and everyone looked at her but Erich just looked back at them,
"Answer it!" Xian said, "Baka si Kim yan!"
"Hello?" Erich answered. "KIM!" Erich shouted and Xian came by to her and asked if he can talk to her, "Kim, yung boyfriend mong paranoid gusto daw maka usap ka!" Erich joked and gave Xian the phone.
"Hon!"
"SUS!---- NAKS!" Everyone said at the same time. Xian glared at them and walked away going to a storage room, "Nasaan ka? You make me so worried!" Xian said.
He doesn't know everyone was listening to their conversations outside the storage room.
"Xi, okay lang ako. I have a mission to do pero babalik din ako dyan like at lunch time! Don't worry!" Kim said.
"Okay, Mag ingat ka! I love you!"
"I love you too." They both hung up and Xian opened the storage door and everyone's head got hit by the door.
"Kayo talaga! Wala may ma gawa at makinig sakin conversation!" Xian said giving Erich back her phone.
"Kasi! Ang corny mo talaga!" Enrique said and started mocking him and Matt joined him too.
Xian went behind them and smack their heads, "Kayo talaga! Ma le-late na tayo sa class!" Xian said and walked away from them.
For Xian, the first three periods of his classes went by so slow. He wanted to be lunch already, he wanted to know why Kim left and what was her 'mission'. Xian was at his last class before lunch and there was 10 minutes of class left. Everyone was doing notes and Xian was shaking his leg the whole time and he was trying to look at the clock every minute.
"Psst!" Lauren said facing him, "Ikaw, para kang paranoid! If you don't stop shaking your leg I'm going to kick that!" She added.
"Sorry! Ang tagal kasi nang oras! There's 10 minutes of class and it goes by so slow!!" Xian said loudly.
"Mr. Lim! Be quiet!" The teacher said.
"Sorry po ma'am!" Xian apologized and looked down at his notebook.
Lauren smirked and turned around facing the board again.
RIIIINNGGGG!!!
Xian flew out of that class by the time the bell rang, "Eto talaga! He just can't wait!" Lauren said to herself.
By the time Xian got to the cafeteria, no one was there yet. He sighed and just sat on their usual table shaking his leg again.
Lauren, Maja and Erich came by him and sat next to him. Lauren who saw his leg shaking again, kicked him under the table.
"OW! Ang sakit nun ha!" Xian complained.
"I told you! If you don't stop shaking your leg I'm going to kick that!" Lauren smiled at him.
"Sup guys?" Matteo and Enrique came with their lunch. "Eto si Xian! He just can't wait to see Kim already!" Lauren answered.
"Look! See Kim!" Maja said pointing by the doors. Xian turned around immediately, "WHERE?!" He said and saw nobody. He turned around to face his friends who is laughing at him.
"Hay naku!" Enrique pushed Xian back to his chair, "Ikaw! Relax ka nga! Eto." Enrique gave Xian some food, "Eat first! I bet Kim will come once you settle yourself down and don't try to rush!"
Xian ate his food for a while and stop trying to panic....
"Enchong?!" Erich said loudly and that made Xian turned around and saw Enchong and Kim by the doors, walking by them.
Erich ran to Enchong and hugged him tightly while Kim came to Xian, "Hi hon!" Kim smiled.
Xian looked deeply into Kim's eyes and hugged her tightly, "You made me so worried!" Xian whispered to her.
Kim laughed and let go of the hug, "Ikaw talaga! Ang paranoid mo!" She squeezed Xian's cheeks and they both laughed.
"Kim, thank you for bringing him back!" Erich smiled and they both hugged.
"Xian, Sorry dude for trying to steal your girlfriend!" Enchong laughed a little and Xian smiled. They both did their little handshake and everyone was happy.
"Guys, I have an idea! Since break is almost there why don't we go to an island or beach to hang out?!" Enrique said excitedly.
"Yeah! That's a good idea! The whole barkada should go! It will be so much fun!" Matt joined in.
Everyone agreed to Enrique's idea and they all decided to go to an island to hang for a week. Enrique smiled at Lauren and Lauren knows she's blushing already.
"You guys! I'm so happy now!!" Maja said being overly dramatic, "I'm so excited for the vacation!" She added.
The whole barkada hugged and laughed at the same time.
Who's excited for the barkada vacation? More kilig moments!!
