Chapter Twenty-Six: Stay

A/N: Hey dur! After this chap, College life na nila! Here we go...

Clarisse's POV

It had been exactly 1 month since our graduation.. And here I am, at the gate of my new school, Monreith University..

Hinatid ako ni Papa dito pero kung akala nyo okay na kami.. Nah, di pala.. Kala ko din e.. But I was mistaken.. He was back in his old self.. Asking something then, stay silent then if I ask something, he'll just nod or shrug..

"Clarisse!" Tawag sakin nina Clarisse.. Mag-eenroll kase kami ngayon, tho, naaccept kami ni Katie bilang scholar, kelangan pa rin namin bayaran ang 50% of the tuition fee.. Wala na nga kaseng libre sa mundo..

"O, aga nyo ah!" Sabi ko..

"Yoko naman kase namin pumila ng mahaba" Sagot ni Keith..

"Sabagay.." Sabi ko.. Marco motioned me to come closer to him so I did so..

"Bakit?" Tanong ko..

"Dito daw mag-aaral ang tropa nina Jan, ano? Okay lang?" Natigilan naman ako sa sinabi nya.. So, nabalewala lang yung di ko pagpansin sa kanya? Aish! Buhay nga naman!

"O-okay la-lang" I almost said in a whisper.. Why was I stuttering? Inakbayan ako ni Marco..

"Galing mo magsinungaling, di ka naman masyadong halata e no?" Malokong sabi nya.. Hinampas ko sya ng malakas sa braso..

"Heh! Lika na nga kayo, enroll na tayo! Puro kalokohan tong lalaking to e!" Sabi ko sabay turo kay Marco..

We walked towards the cashier.. At habang naglalakad......

"Ano ba course mo?" Tanong ni Katie.. Di nya alam? Kala ko, alam nya..

"Foreign Studies ako! Di mo alam?" She shrugged.. Sabihin nyo nga sakin! Kaibigan ko ba talaga to?!

"Ikaw, Marco?" Tanong ni Keith..

"Mass Communication" Sagot nya.. Teka! MassCom?!

"Ano?! Ikaw?! MassCom?!" Sigaw ko.. Di kapani-paniwala..

"O anong masama dun?" Tanong nya.. I just shrugged.. May plano syang mag-artista? What the f*ck?

"Teka, kayo ano course nyo?" Tanong ni Marco kina Katie..

"Pareho kaming Business Management" Sagot ni Keith..

"Kayo ha! Nakakapansin na ko" Malokong sabi ko sa kanila...

"Kadiri ka!" Sabi ni Katie.. Natawa naman ako...

We reached the cashier and pay what we have to pay.. After that, I decided to go the restroom first.. After I did what I had to do in the restroom.. Someone approached me, it was Ethan..

"Clarisse" He said...

"Why? Go directly to the point Mr. dela Paz" I said.. He breathed deeply..

"Clarisse, wag kang lumayo kay Jorel.." Sabi nya.. What did he just said?

"What are you saying?" I asked him..

"Look, I can't tell you the reason but better stay... Kahet wala kang rason, stay with him.. Exactly the opposite of what are you doing now" He said..

"What the heck?! Akala mo ba wala akong dahilan para layuan ko sya?! Ang kapal mo!" I shouted.. Good thing, there wasn't anyone here..

"Okay fine! Do what you want! But stay with him!" Woah! This is too much I think..

"Bakit ko gagawin yun?!" I said..

"Kelangan ka namin.. Sinabi kong manatiki ka, bahala ka na lang kung susundin mo" He said and walked away..
