CHAPTER 9

 

ARDI's POV:

 

Finally, Ive escaped from those clingy girls. Thanks to that Orange's boyfriend. My eyebrows suddenly itch at the thought. To think that that snob woman have a guy. And, they somehow resemble each other, I mean, not exactly the looks, but the attitude. They both have a cold shoulder and a shady ambiance. My insides laughed at the thought. They sure suit each other well.

 

As I was walking on the corridor and opening my locker, my phone rang, and I knew very well who it was. My lips twitched and grabbed my phone on my pocket.

 

"Hey." I said, making my voice common. "Why arent you sleeping?" I asked. Paris and Philippines have a 6 hours difference, so assuming it's already 7:45am now, it's 1:45am there. So, now, she's supposed to be sleeping.

 

"I cant. I want to hear your voice." she said, the moment she said that, I know there's something wrong.

 

"Anong poblema?" I asked, worried.

 

"Wala naman babe, it's just that I cant decide whether to come on Chelsea's request." She replied, a little uneasy.

 

"Request?"

 

"Double date."

 

"Uhhh. Paki-explain babe." I said calmly.

 

"She had a suitor, a month ago, so, next week, they decided to go on a date. But, Chelsea's nervous as it's her first date, so, she asked me to tag along. I actually declined, because, probably I wont have a partner and become a stupid loner there, and I have you already. Why would I do that? Then she said, isasama daw nung suitor nya yung pinsan nya. She pleaded me and I still cant give her an answer now. She's my only friend, you know that. And I have to support her on her first time." She paused and sighed.

 

"Then?" I asked her again, kahit alam ko na kung anong susunod nyang sasabihin. I walked in the room to see that Miss Hernandez is already there, giving some introduction. I sneaked in and didnt get caught. I sat down on the very last seat and settle things with my girlfriend.

 

".....if I can give it a go?" the only thing I heard because of focusing to not being caught.

 

"Do what you want." I said calmly. Its her bestfriend so of course it would hurt herself too for not accepting the request.

 

"Really?" she said happily.

 

"Really. Now go to sl------"

 

"Curtling, refrain from using phone in my class!" I jumped in surprise to see the whole class looking at my direction and the teacher arching her eyebrows at me.

 

"Got to go. Sleep now ok? Bye." I whispered and keep it hurriedly in my bag. I smiled at Ms. Hernandez and heard a couple of gasps and giggles. Ms. Hernandez rolled her eyes on me and focused on a piece of paper in her hands.
