MY ACCELERATED CRUSH (Filipino - Ongoing)

CHAPTER 30-1

(PART 1)

----------------------------------------------------SIX MONTHS LATER--------------------------------------------------

(POV ni Khaela)

Hi! Kamusta!

It's been 6 months mula nang nangyari ang mga events tungkol sa'ming lahat. Napakatahimik na ng St. Francis ngayon.

First, kami ni Raph. Since the incident with him and Kyle, we're going stronger sa relationship namin! Naging maayos na ang lahat at hindi na sya ginugulo ng mga ito. Ngayon we're free to put our relationship in public. Everyone was so happy when Raph "declared" his love for me. He made this elaborate proposal of asking me to be his girlfriend (like me and Alex's plan before). Of course kami na, pero he wanted to make it official! Nakakakilig!

Second, Belle and Eugene. Like us, going stronger din ang relationship nila. We always hang out during our breaks and they look good together. Ang saya talaga namin ni Raph para sa kanilang dalawa.

Third, Kyle and the Death Group. Ang weird, kasi naging tahimik na sila after those incidents. Wala na kaming nababalitaang gulo about them. It may be good for the whole school, but we haven't forgot about what happened. I know the truth (as Raph remembered all of it), but for now, palalagpasin na muna namin 'to. Sabi nga ni Lola Nidora, sa TAMANG PANAHON.

Fourth, Jamille... Wow. I still can't believe that she's gone from Francis. The last time I heard, she migrated to the States para dun na mag-aral. Nung malaman namin yun, I was the one (besides 'him') that got affected the most. We were still talking that about not giving up her love for my friend. Siguro napakomplikado talaga ng mga bagay sa kanila... she sacrificed all of it just for Kyle, the Death Group, and Aira to leave us all alone... which brings me to...

ALEX.

He was not the same Alex anymore.

Hindi na sya yung kaibigan namin na cheerful, palatawa, at friendly.

Ever since their breakup, he was never the same. He was devastated nung nalaman nyang nagmigrate si Jam sa abroad para dun na mag-aral. When it comes to his studies, sya pa rin ang pinakamarunong sa barkada namin. However, marami nang nagbago sa kanya. Naging tahimik sya at di na sya masyadong sumasama sa'min. Even his physical features changed. Pumayat sya, his hair grew more, like a hermit. It sounded funny but I'm concerned for him. He became very 'reserved'.

Malaking kawalan sa kanya ang pakikipagbreak ni Jam. I cannot tell him about the "secret" because I promised her that I will never do it, pero pag nakikita ko syang nahihirapan, like lagi syang nakatingin sa kawalan during his break, or him being alone every day, or him always avoiding us when we want to hang out with him, gustong-gusto kong sabihin kung gaano sya kamahal ni Jamille.

Gustong-gusto kong sabihin na hindi nya ginawa ang lahat ng yun dahil she just used him as a game, or para gumanti lang sa kanya.

I feel miserable, just like him.

(1 week. Bago ang semester break)

It's our lunch break right now. Me, Raph, Belle, and Eugene were walking around the cafeteria to find a seat, nang makita namin si Alex. He's dejected, as always, at tulala lang habang kumakain sya ng kanyang food.

All of us... concerned na concerned kami sa kanya. Kailangan na naming gawin 'to.

"A-Alex... pare?" Raph called him.

Nang marinig nya ang boses na yun, nagulat sya at napalingon sa'min. We're as sad as him when he looked at us. Matagal din syang nakatingin sa'min at walang imik. After a couple of seconds, tumalikod sya sa'min, tumayo at inumpisahanng ayusin ang gamit nya.
