My Beloved Ghost

Chapter 9

Rejine looked at me with surprise and became silent afterwards. Is she angry with me?!

I think there's really something wrong with me! I unconsciously said something so embarrassing to Rejine again! This is already the third time, I think?! Things might become awkward between us two if I don't say something. Although, I really want to know what she will reply! Maybe I will just wait for awhile to hear her answer before I say anything. I'm curious to what she will reply. I can do this!

"Aaa.. Eeh.." Rejine uttered while she began to fidget on where she sits.

I am getting nervous here while I look at her, waiting for her to answer. I think my heart will explode any moment right now. What will be her response?!

She giggled afterwards and said, "Nagjoke ka na naman ah! Tulog ka na nga, napagod ka ata ng sobra!"

"Oo, Rej. Ayos ba ang joke ko?" I said while I looked at her and smiled.

"Uhmm." Rejine uttered before she chuckled, "Pwede na."

Right, I am only joking at first so she won't take it seriously now. Also, even if she would answer that, I already know what she will reply. I am not her boyfriend nor I am courting her so it is already set that she will say no! What am I expecting?! But still, I'm a little bit disappointed. Damn.

"Sige. Laro muna ako sa computer." I said to shrug off my disappointment.

"Okay. Ako din muna sa PSP!" She exclaimed.

I couldn't focus on what I am playing afterwards and as a result, I lost two consecutive games. This is the first time for me. Even I lost a one game, I always get my revenge on the next game! Aghh. Might as well sleep already to ease up my mind and since the time is already 10:00 pm. So I stood up from the chair that I was sitting and looked at Rejine then greeted her, "Goodnight Rej! Tulog na ako."

"Okay, Dres! Sleepwell. Goodnight!" Rejine greeted back.

While I am still thinking of the scenes that happened awhile ago, she is engrossed on her PSP. I am stupid. I should already forget about it! This is why I don't have my first girlfriend until now!

I laid down on my comforter and thus, I slept even though it took so long for me to sleep since I am thinking so much things before I sleep despite what I thought to myself earlier that I would already forget about it. But I am sure this would be the last one that I will be thinking of it.

When tomorrow morning came, Rej and I talk normally as usual. No awkwardness or what. Maybe those things didn't bothered her. While we are talking, Rejine suddenly inserted the topic of the date that Gio, Jaime as well as me would meet again and that would be two weeks from now.

"Nga pala Dres, naalala ko lang tagal niyo pa lang hindi magkikita nina Gio at Jaime no?." Rejine asked.

"Oo. Two weeks pa. Nagbakasyon kasi ang dalawang yon eh." I replied.

Within the two weeks before the distribution of grades in my school, I think that our friendship had deepened since I am always the one she is with. I had fun everyday and it feels like the hands of clock is moving too fast. Everyday, we talk about anyting and I don't care even if it is non sense. I am just happy to be spending time with her again.

Regarding about the investigation towards the death of Rejine, there has been a slow progression within these two weeks. They said no suspects has been found but on the other hand, there are witnesses that are trying to cooperate. I don't know if the killer of Rejine is just good at hiding or the police are just no good and doesn't care about finding the criminal. I got these informations from Peachie when I texted her. I don't know where she got these infos but she said that her source is reliable.
