Chapter 10: Riding him, his bike rather

Riding him, his bike rather 😜

Ariana's POV

I felt like crying while I silently eat my lunch. The cafeteria is usually full but for some obvious reason, all the tables around me are empty. Only the table in the far corners were being occupied by some brave students.

By some obvious reason, I mean Jaxxon is sitting in front of me, watching my every move. I couldn't even swallow my food properly from his damn staring. After the game, akala ko lalayuan na niya ako pero dun pala ako nagkakamali. He's been following me around and it creeps me out so much that he never once uttered a word.

"Uhmmm... Why don't you eat y-your lunch a-as well?" I asked, stuttering.

"I'm not hungry." Maikling sagot nito at itinuloy lang ang pagnood sa akin.

"O-okay." Sagot ko. This is so terrifying and awkward at the same time. I can still feel his eyes on me as I tried to eat faster.

"Aria—"

Napatingin ako sa di kalayuan ng tawagin ni Cherry ang pangalan ko. Hindi pa man nito natatapos ang pagtawag sa pangalan ko ay napatigil na ito nang makita kung sino ang kasama ko.

Lumiwanag naman ang mukha ko nang makita siya. "Cherry."

"Uhmm, ano... nakalimutan ko may pupuntahan pa pala ako." Paalam nito at tumalikod na sa akin.

What a traitor! I really need her help right now but even her is afraid of Jaxxon.

"Sandali Cherry, sasama ako!" Sigaw ko at tumayo sa kinauupuan ko. Ito na ang chance ko para makalayo kay Jaxxon.

Napatigil naman ko nang hawakan nito ang kamay ko.

"Where are you going?" He asked in the deep voice. I felt myself shiver at his tight hold.

"I'm going to... uh... Right! I have a class in ten minutes. I-I have to g-go." Sambit ko nang maalala na may klase pa pala ako.

"Alright, let's go." He said, grabbing my backpack.

He followed close behind me. Hawak nito ang backpack ko sa balikat nito na parang isang sako. Ang mga estudyanteng nadadaanan namin ang napapatingin nalang at lumalayo. Don't tell me he's going to follow me to my class as well. Wait, now that I think about it, I'm sure we are enrolled at a different course. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Thank goodness hindi kami magkaklase.

Laking gulat ko naman nang sundan niya ako hanggang sa loob ng classroom. Nanlaki din ang mga mata ng mga kaklase ko nang makita si Jaxxon.

"What is he doing here?"

I even heard someone whisper.

Lumapit ako sa dating upuan ko katabi ni Carlo. Carlo is a nerd and is currently engrossed at a book he's reading, oblivious to what's been happening around him.

Umupo ako sa tabi ni Carlo samantalang tumayo naman si Jaxxon sa gilid nito. Hindi parin pansin ni Carlo na nakatayo si Jaxxon sa tabi nito at itinuloy ang pagbabasa hanggaang sa sipain ni Jaxxon ang upuan nito.

Carlo almost dropped his book in surprise.

"Get up." Utos ni Jaxxon dito.

Carlo's eyes widened when he realized who it was. Nagmamadali nitong kinuha ang mga libro nito at umalis. Jaxxon smirked, dropping my bag on top of my table and sat on Carlo's seat with a satisfied look.

Naawa naman ako kay Carlos dahil napilitan itong umalis sa kinuupuan nito at umupo sa pinakadulo. Halatang nabigla ito sa ginawa ni Jaxxon. Pool Carlo.
