Chasing You

Chapter Twenty Eight

Tutor

(I will not stop on chasing, until I get you...)

"You always broke my heart, Madden! Ang galing mong magpatawa pero ang galing mo ring magpaiyak!" Kylie said while wiping her tears.

"I'm really serious, I'm sorry for everything. Sa nagawa ko sa inyong dalawa. Napakaselfish ko at---"

"Paulit-ulit ka na, Madden! You're not selfish! Enough of that!" Gally hissed.

Ngumiti ako. Kanina habang bumaba ako ay nagiiyakan na kami. Nagyayakapan kaming tatlo at para akong baliw na paulit-ulit na nagso-sorry. We exchange apologies to each other and exchange forgiveness. Pero hindi pa rin ako nasasapatan at paulit-ulit pa rin akong nagso-sorry.

Kylie explained about how she acted last time. Doon sa pinapunta kami SCO dahil sa nangyari sa cafeteria. She apologize over and over again and everything she said that time is not really true.

I know nadala lang siya sa galit niya kaya naiintindihan ko siya. Mas malaki pa rin ang kasalan ko.

"Here's my gift." Inabot ko sa kanya ang regalo ko.

"Wow! Akala ko hindi ka pa rin magdadala dahil wala kang pera!" Tumawa si Kylie.

"Nakapag-ipon ako! At wala naman akong ginastos 'jan e!" Sabi ko.

Nagtaas ng kilay sa akin si Kylie.

"Wag mong sabihing walang laman 'to?!"

Ngumisi ako.

"What the hell, Made---I'm gonna open this now!"

Aamba siyang bubuksan na sana pero pinigilan ko siya.

"Of course may laman 'yan! Open that later! Your date is waiting for you!" Tinuro ko si Hilaw na kanina pa nakatingin sa banda namin.

He's with his friends, Blackjack and Kalbo. For some reason nakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil wala ang isa.

"What? I didn't even invite him! He's not my date!"

Tumaas ang kilay ko. I think I missed a lot of information about them.

"Hindi? Paanong nangyari? He's your escort! I thought it was JD!"

"I don't know either! Pati ako ay nagulat nang siya ang lumabas bilang escort ko! I don't like him!"

Hindi ko alam kung bakit siya namumula at iwas ang tingin sa amin.

"Where's JD by the way?" I asked.

Tumingin si Gally sa akin."He's on his way." She said.

"Oh that bastard! I'm gonna punch him!" Nanggigigil na saad ni Kylie.

"Do you like him?" I asked.

Well, minsan lang siya magkagusto sa isang lalaki. It takes a million reason for him to like a guy.

Kunot noo niya akong tinignan. Tila nagtatanong ang mata kung saan ko napulot ang ideyang iyon.

"Yeah, who would not like that charming guy?"

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. Automatically I turn into Gally na busy sa pagkakalikot ng cellphone. She's smiling but when she caught me looking at her, her smile faded but resume again.

"He is like a brother to me." Dugtong niya.

Oh! Bakit parang nabunutan ako ng tinik sa sinabi niya?

"Do you find him attractive?" I asked again.

"He's chinito and by just one smile, he can already turns girls upside down. But I'm attracted, though." She said.
