100 DAYS OF YOU (A MAYWARD STORY)

Part 37

Alora showed me a video posted on the Campus Chronicles website which students love to check.

The video title was 'too hot to get a room?' They made it like a meme.

Kita sa video ang pagpasok ko sa loob ng men's CR. Checking the surrounding whether someone sees me. Then a few minutes after it captured me and Ethan going out of the men's room. Ethan looks really sweaty and I was wiping off his face and neck.

If I would have seen the video as it is, hindi ko iisipin na may malisya. Of course not. But they added some clips where 2 students are making out inside the cubicle making it look as if it was me and Ethan doing it. Judging from the people's reaction, yeah. They already think that way.

They focused my face and not much of Ethan.

What hurts even more? People in this school doesn't like me much dahil bago pa lang ako at yung mga bigatin agad ang mga kaibigan ko. Boyfriend ko pa ang best player nila.

With this event, people look at me more differently. It's more of a disgust, a disgrace an embarrassment.

Pero bakit mukhang ako lang ang napasama. When the boys saw Ethan earlier puro congratulations ang sinasabi nila. Pero kanina kapag sa akin sila tumitingin parang ang dumi dumi kong babae.

'Don't worry Maddie, it will be okay, yeah?' sabi sa akin ni Laureen

'How?' I asked cause as of the moment I don't know

'Will work with you. We'll be here.' Pag assure sa akin ni Laureen

'I want to see Ethan. ' gusto ko sya makausap.

'Okay. I will call him.' Sabi naman ni Laureen. Agad agad naman niyang tinawagan c Ethan.

I am not sure how will Ethan react to this or how will he help me in fixing this. All I know is I want to see him right now.

Ethan arrived, alone. Boys have to go back to class so as the rest of our friends. I do not want to go back to class.

'Have you seen it?' I asked

'Seen what exactly? I don't think he has a clue.

I asked for his phone. I do not have the energy to look for mine. We are inside his car.

He brought out his phone from his pocket and gave it to me.

It is locked. I tried returning the phone to him for his passcode but instead he gave his passcode to me.

I didn't bother asking why he gave it as I am pretty sure that he will change it after.

No guy will ever give their passcodes to their girlfriend. More on a fake girlfriend but that is not my concern today.

Once I unlocked his phone, I was shocked to see my face on his wallpaper. I looked at him surprisingly. Nagkibit balikat lang sya and said 'for the show.' So I let it go.

I showed him the video.

'what are you concerned about? We both know that's not true!' he sounded like he doesn't give a damn

'why should I not be concerned. They are calling me names on that website. What if it gets to the dean? To my parents? What will I do?' I think I am about to cry again

Sabihan na ako na OA dahil sa naging reaksyon ko. Pero nasasaktan talaga ako. Tyrone and I haven't done it. Not even once. I don't think that is something I can give. Not then and certainly not now. To be talked about having sex is bad enough but to be talked about having sex inside the men's CR? Worst nightmare!

'Hey. Don't cry Maddie.' Hinawakan ni Ethan ang mukha ko. Pinunasan niya ang mga luha ganit ang kanyang hinlalaki

'Promise. I will fix it.' And he sounds sincere

'How? How can you fix it when you didn't know who started it? Okay lang ba sayo mapahiya and admitting that you are having a very upset stomach kaya tayo nandun? How will you prove it?' Sunod sunod kong tanong sa kanya.

'Maybe I can. Maybe I will. Just trust me on this okay?' Sagot naman ni Ethan

Can he really do it? Shal I entrust everything on him?

With the look that Ethan is giving me. I know I should. Just with his eyes, he can already give me all the assurance that I need.

'Okay.' Nakayuko kong tugon.

Hinawakan ulit ni Ethan ang aking mukha. Unti unting lumapit ang pagitan naming dalawa.

'Thanks for trusting me Maddie. I swear I'll get this sorted out for you. For us. Yeah?' He said while his face is just an inch away from me.

Tumango ako to let Ethan know that I am counting on him in this.

He smiled.

I smiled.

Then he kissed me.

On the lips.
