LOVELY NEIGHBOR (Completed)

Lovely Neighbor 18

VAN's POV

After my confession that night, I began to get excited about waking up early everyday. I don't know parang gusto ko lang kaagad siya makita or makausap ganun? Ewan ko ba. A month has passed and mas lalo pa siya naging sweet sakin. And he was so caring and protective. Everyday sabay na kami pumapasok, kahit na binalik na niya yung wheels ko. Sakanya pa din ako sumasabay ng pagpasok at paguwi. Si Kit she's back in New York but we always chat and talk sa phone. Gusto niya lagi siyang updated samin ng kuya niya. And she always ask me, Ano na daw status namin. Well, I don't exactly know kung ano na ba talaga kami. Si Ero lagi niya sinasabi na Girlfriend na niya ako. Oo, he acts like a real boyfriend. No, let me scratch that he's a Jealous Boyfriend. Yep! Napaka seloso po niya. May makausap lang ako na guy sa school aangasan na niya kaagad. At yung guy ayun, tatakbo palayo. Pero nasanay din naman ako kaagad sa ganung ugali niya. Every night before we go to sleep ganun pa din, same routine. He'll tell me he likes me. And I'll tell him I like him too.

It's Monday and I have swimming practice early in the morning so I packed my things and texted Ero that I'll take my car today. For sure puyat yun may party sila last night, Birthday daw ng isang brother nila, So I didn't bother to wake him up I just leave him a message saying.

Me: Hey! Good morning! I have swimming practice I'll take my car. Don't get up. Just stay in bed. Enjoy your hangover haha! See ya later. :)

I got to my car and drive to my school. Nagpractice na kami till my next class. After practice I showered, changed and head to my locker. While walking I checked my phone and I have a message.

Ero: Why didn't you wake me up? I could take you to school and I won't enjoy my hangover coz' I don't have one. Where are you?

I was about to reply and type my message when I look into my way then there I saw him standing beside my locker. I put my phone in my pocket and walked towards my locker. Paglapit ko I opened it and grab my things for my class I closed my locker and faced him. He's still there standing his gray eyes are beaming down at me. His face so serious. "What?" I asked

"Hindi mo ko ginising."

"I texted you right? And I can drive, may kotche ako."

"Kahit na." Sagot niya na medyo pasigaw na.

I looked at him "Nag-aaway ba tayo?" I asked

Nagiba yung facial expression niya "Ha? Hindi ah. Sino nagsabi nag-aaway tayo? Hindi. Hindi tayo nagaaway." He said while shaking his head

"Good. I'll go to my class now."

"I'll walk you there." He walk with me at naka-akbay pa siya sakin. Some of the students are staring but then lagi sinasabi sakin ni Ero na 'Just ignore them. They're just jealous.' Pagdating namin sa tapat ng room ko I faced him.

"Thanks. You should go now." I smiled. "And yeah, later baka hindi ako makasabay sayo ha?" I added

"What? why?"

"I bought my car remember? Just go home without me. I'll call you when I'm on my way." He was about to speak when I interrupt him "And don't wait for me."

"But--"

"Promise?" I asked. Yan lang nagpapatahimik sakanya e. When I asked promise tatahimik na yan,

He sigh and run his fingers to his hair "Fine. But don't forget to call me. Al'right."

"Yes. Go now. Malate ka pa."

I got to my class and after hours of studying nakaramdam na ako ng antok. Alam niyo kasi ilang araw na din ako napupuyat kasi naguusap at nagttxt pa kami ni Ero. Minsan skype din. Galing no? Kaya ayun. Minsan sa klase nakakaramdam ako ng antok. After class hindi pa ako dumiretcho ng uwi nagpunta ako ng library to search. I have tons of project kasi. Mga ilang oras din ako sa library pero hindi ko pa din natapos yung ginagawa ko. Kasi kailangan na din magsara ng library eh hanggang 5:30 lang yung library. Umalis ako ng school pass 6 na. Sa isang fast food na lang ako kumain at umuwi na. Grabe! Antok na antok na ako. I got to my house at 8. Pagdating ko. Diretcho kwarto na ako. I changed my clothes, brushed my teeth and boom. Bagsak na sa kama. Then maya-maya bagsak na din yung mata ko.
