Before I Go

Chapter 3

GEORGIA'S POV

"All good?" He said as soon as I got out of the dean's office. I just nodded as I approach him.

Today's a Monday and it's my first day at school, I feel a bit bad for Bryan because I just figured he was the one who took care of everything about my transfer process. He's one of the laziest person I know and doing such must've been a burden to him.

I started scanning my schedule as we walk down the hallway.

"Don't worry we have the same schedule." He said.

"We have?" A hint of being surprise was evident in my voice.

"Yep! I made sure your with us in every class. I'm so great right?" He proudly said.

"Great, really great." I said, sounding disappointed. He stopped walking making me stop as well.

I'm thankful he did that, but of course he don't need to know it. He's head might burst feeling too good about himself.

"What? You don't like it?" He asked in disbelief.

I nodded, " We live in the same roof, so I'll most likely see you everyday, and now your saying I need to be with the same room as you in all my classes? Seriously? " I said trying my best to look seriously annoyed.

"But, uhh-- I just wanna hel--" he was caught off guard with what I said.

"Nakakaumay kaya makakita ng panget araw-araw." I said smirking then began walking again.

I was laughing silently leaving him behind. It took him a while to realize I was fooling around 'cause I'm already at the end of the hall when he shouted

"Georgiaaaaaaaaaa!!!" He screamed ignoring the attention he's getting and start running towards me.

Though I don't want us to look like kids in a playground I'm sure I'm a dead meat once he caught me so I start running not knowing where to go.

Tiffany's POV

"Baka naman kamukha lang." sabi ni Sunny sabay kapit sa kaliwang braso ko.

Naglalakad kami papuntang cafeteria para maglunch habang kinukwento ko sa kanya yung nakita ko si Chase na may kalandian sa parking lot ng mall nung nakaraang gabi.

"Tapos Bryan Chase din ang pangalan? Ang galing naman non?" Sarkastiko kong sagot.

"Sshhh! Baka marinig ka ni Maddison. Kung ano-ano na naman isipin nun. We're still not sure okay? Let's ask Chase nalang to clarify things." Sabi niya sabay lingon2 sa likod. She's worrying they might appear and hear us. Paranoid talaga tong babaeng to.

Nauna kasi kaming dalawang pumunta sa Caf dahil sabi ko gutom na ako pero para talaga yun makwento ko kay Sunny ang nangyari, habang dumaan naman muna sina Maddison, Jackson at Austin sa faculty para magpass ng activity namin sa isang subject. As for William, well he's not around due to business matters daw. And that Chase didn't went to class as well for only God knows why.

"I'm pretty sure it was him. Kaya pala MIA sya nung nakaraan dahil busy sa pakikipaglandian sa iba. Humanda talaga sa'kin yang Guidotti na yan! And please, kahit tanungin pa natin, walang manlolokong umaamin Sun." Iritang sagot ko.

Ang hirap talagang magkaroon ng sobrang babait na mga kaibigan. Kaya madalas sila ginagawang tanga eh.

"Kahit na Tiff--" hindi natapos ni Sunny ang sasabihin niya dahil naagaw ang atensyon namin ng dalawang taong nagtatawanan habang iniipit ng lalake sa kanyang palad ang pisngi ng kasama niyang babae.

"Sinong panget hah? Sino!? Minsan ka na nga lang magtagalog, puro panlalait pa sasabihin mo ah?" Natatawang sabi ni Chase habang nagpupumiglas habang tumatawa naman yung babaeng kasama niya.

Tinitigan ko yung kasama niya, hindi ko maalala kung saan pero parang nakita ko na siya dati.

Halos kasing tangkad lang siya ni Chase, naka maroon long sleeves at white jeans at kulay rosegold na sneakers siya. Balingkinitan ang katawan, nakalugay ang kanyang wavy at kulay brown na buhok, maputi, bilogan ang mata at may mahaba at makapal na pilikmata, matangos ang ilong at may malambot at manipis na labi. Ang liit ng mukha niya. Sa unang tingin palang, alam mo ng may lahing banyaga. Halos wala siyang make up pero nakakainis isipin na ang ganda niya paring tingnan. Pero mas nakakapanlumo na malaki yung hinaharap pati pwet niya.

Wait--

OMG Tiff? Did you just praise the bitch who's flirting with your friend's boyfriend?

"Shit, Madds." Halos pabulong na sabi ng katabi ko. Nang tingnan ko siya ay sa ibang direksyon na siya nakatingin.

Sa di' kalayuan, nakatayo sila Maddison habang nakatingin sa dalawang nagtatawanan sa harap namin. Walang umiimik pero panay ang pahid ni Madds sa luha nyang kanina pa tahimik na pumapatak.

"Ang kapal din talaga ng mukha ng lalakeng to' na dalhin dito yung kabet nya!" Susugurin ko na sana sila ng hilahin ako ni Jackson mula sa likod.

"Don't make a scene Tiff." Mariin niyang sabi habang hinihila ako papunta kay Maddison.

"Ano ba! Bitiwan mo nga ako! Kakalbuhin ko silang dalawa!" Sigaw ko na naka agaw sa atensyon nila.

Nawala ang ngiti sa labi ni Chase habang gulat na nakatingin sa umiiyak na girlfriend. Napalitan naman ng smirk ang ngiti ng babaeng kasama nya. That Bitch!

Halos tumakbo si Chase papunta kay Maddison.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Nag aalalang tanong niya sa ngayoy nakayuko na babae sa harap nya.

Pilit nyang tinataas ang mukha ni Maddison pero nanatili itong nakayuko.

"What's wrong!? May gana ka pang magtanong ng ganyan pagkatapos mong makipaglandian sa harap nya!? Ang galing naman nun Chase!?" Bulyaw ko mula sa tabi ni Maddison.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Nalipat ang atensyon nang lahat ng umimik yung bitch na nasa tabi na ngayon ni Chase.

"Really? Still a crybaby Lopez?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nya habang bored na nakatingin kay Maddison.

Still? So meaning magkakilal--

Napatingin bigla si Maddison sa nagsalita. "Geo-- Georgia?"

Tinaasan nya ng kilay si Madds, ughhh! I wanna wipe that smirk off her face!

Georgia's POV

She throw her arms around me before I could utter another word. This girl, really.

"Don't get mad at him. I told him not to tell you." I whispered before she let go of me.

I felt her nod before she stood in front of me. She's a few inches smaller than me so she had to look up a bit to face me.

"Whe-when did you arrive?" She asked in between her sobs. I missed this crybaby.

"Talk to me after cleaning your face. You look like shit." I said while pointing her forehead with my finger.

She pouted, and I shook my head in response before walking towards what seems like their cafeteria. Geez, Why do I have a crybaby for a bestfriend again?
