The Next Stage (COMPLETED)

TWO: Problem?

Julia 

"Hey, Julia." I turned my head into the other side where my drawer is located. I need to find my cellphone. Maybe Zach was texting me, feeling ko kasi, meron eh. 

"Buti naman, gising ka na." she throw the pink-covered pillow straight to my face. Seriously? Ang aga aga, nang iinis sya. 

"Mabuti? What's nice about that? Eh mukha mo yung una kong nakita."

"How nice naman, Faye." then she rolled her eyes. Taray talaga nito. It feels like, she have her period every second of the day. 

"Thank you." then I smiled. Kinuha ko yung cellphone ko. It's 9:30 am. Enthusiastically, mamaya pang 1pm yung pasok ko, 'cause the student council are preparing for next week's Harding University's fair. 

Buti nalang, mabait yung dean namin. Medyo may pagka-sungit nga lang. 

"Hindi ka pa ba tatayo dyan? Someone's waiting for you. For I think...a couple of hours?" my jaw dropped dahil sa sinabi nya. Someone? Who is that someone? 

Oh Julia, wag ka ng magtaka kung sino yun. Remember, you're already in a relationship. 

"Huy, tumigil ba yung mundo mo? Bat sakin, hindi?" then she left my room. Buti naman, because hindi ko na matiis yung pagka loud nya. 

I rapidly headed to the cr. Kailangan kong maghilamos, mag toothbrush, and put stuffs around my face. I want to look presentable to him.

Zach 

I'm here at my girlfriend's house. Naks, it looks gay pero ang sarap isipin na girlfriend ko na sya. 

I thought, getting her and making her mine is impossible. Nawalan talaga ako ng pag-asa. I don't know how to approach her or talk to her after the pageant. Kung saan, nakita ko yung ex nya. Honestly, sobra talaga akong nasaktan. I think, naramdaman ko yung pain the moment that I saw them talking and facing each other. The way that they look at each other, feeling ko meron pa. 

Meron pa silang nararamdaman sa isa't isa. 

But now, I am confident na mahal ako ni Julia. I am so happy now that finally, she's mine. I will not agree to the fact na aagawin sya sakin ni Azreel, that a*shole. 

*flashback*

May pinaapabili sakin si mama na gift para sa classmate nya before, birthday yata nya. She really looks sick that's why I am here, at the mall. 

I feel the vibration of my cellphone inside my bag while I was walking in such a crowded place. Kinuha ko na sya kaagad, maybe it's an important call. 

And I think that I was wrong, it's an unknown number. I turned off my cellphone. What a waste of time. 

"I'm sorry." tinignan ko syang mabuti. We accidentally hit each other. He looks familiar to me. 

He chuckled. "Wow, sa dami ng makikita ko, ikaw pa? What a disaster." who is this person para mag-angas sakin? 

"Who are you? Ikaw na nga nakabangga sakin, may gana ka pang mag-mayabang?" 

"And who are you too? To judge my attitude? You didn't even know me. But let me introduce myself to you, I am the one, who's making your world suffer." then he walked away. I was speechless. Ano bang sinasabi nya? Eh ngayon lang naman kami nagkita? 

Teka, ngayon nga lang ba? 

"Hey a*shole!" all the people around me stops for a moment. A*shole ba silang lahat?
