Dream Guy

52nd

Vallerie's POV:

"What happened?!" Takang tanong ni Triss nang makita niyang basa ang shirt ko and most of my pants.

"Na-wet si Vie" sabi ni Clint tapos tumawa sa ginamit niyang term. "Gago" sabi ko sakanya.

"Binasa ako ni Carrie" kwento ko kay Triss. Upon hearing Carrie's name, bigla siyang na-bad trip. She looks so tempted to kill someone we all hate. As much as I'd love to know that Carrie's dead, ayokong makulong si Triss.

So instead of encouraging her to continue her reckless plan, I made her calm down.

"May damit ako sa paper bag ng kotse ni Ryan" she said after finally calming down. "Kaso shorts lang. Wala akong top. Eh basa din yang top mo" sabi ni Triss. I looked down to see my top. I nodded.

"Meron akong extra shirt" sabi ng isang familiar na boses.

I turned around to see her. "Angel"

She hugged me tightly, "I missed you, I was worried"

***Later***

"Thanks Angel" sabi ko after changing sa bathroom and checking if okay lang ang suot ko.

Surprisingly, kasya sakin yung shorts ni Triss although mas malaki ng konti si Triss sakin. Yung shirt naman ni Angel, tama lang. Same size lang kami.

I lost weight after my depressed kuno phase.

Her white shirt still exposes my tattos though. Dahil mababa yung cut. So you can still see my moon and carat tattoo and of course, if you look at my back, you'll see my "I'm fine" tattoo.

The shirt is tucked inside the shorts. And yung shorts, high waist but literally short shorts. I don't know kung bakit binili 'to ni Triss, habang ako baba ng baba dun sa shorts.

"No problem, Vie. I'm happy to help" sabi niya and smiled. "Oy ako walang thank you?" Tanong ni Triss. Napatawa ako, "Thanks Triss"

"Damn, your tattoos though. I also love your hair" sabi niya. I smiled, "Thanks"

"I...have to tell you something" sabi ni Angel. She looked at Triss. And Triss looked at me. "Una ka na Triss, susunod ako" sabi ko. She smiled and nodded, saka umalis na.

Once na nakita naming wala na si Triss, I faced Angel. "Naniniwala ka bang ayaw na sayo ni YZ?" Tanong niya sakin. I looked at her confused, anong klaseng tanong yan?

"Yes. Siya na mismo nagsabi, it's all fake love" sabi ko. She sighed. "Sure ka bang fake love lang ang lahat ng yun? Think about it, did it look fake at all?"

No.

No, it didn't.

I shook my head. She smiled, looking worried as hell. "We both know it wasn't fake love and YZ loved you" sabi niya.

Loved.

Without realizing it immediately, I started crying.

I hate crying.

Especially in front of someone.

She hugged me and comforted me.

"Shh. It's okay" sabi niya, then faced me.

"Look, I'm just telling you this because I believe YZ still loves you" sabi niya. I looked at her, confused. "Angel, how? Paano mo naman nasasabi yan?" I asked. "I saw how he lost. YZ is our best player sa JU ng basketball, and he was winning before you were cheering. But he got distracted for some reason after mong mag-cheer sa guy na yun. Charles was it? Doesn't it seem strange to you?" She asked.

I looked away. Now that I think about it, it does.

"Give it a try. Try knowing the real reason kung bakit ka niya iniwan"
