The One

Chapter 4

Jakes POV

"Jake can we switch seats? Sobrang dikit niya na sa akin. He keeps tugging my sleeve and keeps curling my hair. And his look... ughh it gives me shivers." sabi ni athena sa akin. Nag switch naman kami agad ng seats ni athena.

 Agad ko naman siya tingnan.

"Hey i was busy making friends with-"

"Shut your trap" agad kong sabi sa kaniya. When will he learn to shut up jeez.

"You're lucky my crew's not here. If they we're here you're good as dead." Patahimik pa niyahg sabi. As if matatakot naman ako niyan. Kahit buong tropa mo pa dalhin mo, di ako matatakot sayo.

"Aww. Do you really need your whole gang to beat me down? How pathetic." Sabi ko rin ng patihimik and it looks like narinig naman niya. Yes. I'm itching for a beat down right now.

Di ako masyado nag hahanap ng away. Pero pag may nag iimbita sa akin, wala ng atrasan.

"Jake no. Please. I dont want you to get hurt."

"If he wants it, i'll give it to him." Sabi ko pa sa kaniya. If this is the only way to get her out of his sight, then i'll do it.

"But isn't it.. i don't know too much?" Tanong pa niya. 

 Yeah. It is too much. But this guy is a freaking jerk. I just freaking hate him. Even just a glance from him pisses me off.

"Yeah you're right i'm sorry. But i'm just trying to make you safe. He looks dangerous."

"And im trying to make you stay alive. Cause i can't guarantee that your still gonna be alive after that. Jake, you are facing a group of gangsters. May possibility rin na hindi lang bruises ang makukuha mo. Pwede ka rin masaksak or worse, mapatay. You're clearly not thinking of the things na mangyayari sa sarili mo."

I never thought of that before. Ang nasa isip ko lang talaga ang maki bakbakan sa kaniya at ang kaligtasan ni Athena. Hindi ko na isip kung anong mangyayari sa akin. I made her worry to much. I feel guilty jeez.

"Sorry for making you worry too much. I just... want you to stay away from that guy."

"I know. But di mo naman kailangan makipag bakan talaga eh. I can't afford to lose you cause you're my only friend."

Im an idiot, really. Nabalutan naman kami ng katahimikan. Agad naman ako nag salita.

"Sorry if made your special day a fiasco."

"Well.. it wasn't a total disaster you know haha." Hay good to know. "Tinupad mo ba kung anong nasa letter?"

"That's up for you to find out haha." Sabi ko pa sa kaniya.

"Hmm.. parang alam ko na saan mo inalagay."

"Trust your guts haha."

"Anong nangyari kay kyle? Natahimik ata." Oo nga. anong nangyari sa kanya?

"Natutulog naman siya. Atleast ngayon behave na siya" sabi ko pa sa kaniya.

"Thank God." Sabi pa ni athena.

I remembered something

"Athena, pwede ka ba mamaya?"

"Wala naman akong gagawin mamaya eh. Bakit?"

"Uhm.. awkward kung sabihin eh haha." Sabi ko pa sa kaniya.

"Ehh sige na! Kung hindi kukurutin kita ulit!"
