Love and Chase

Kabanata 11

This is it. This is the day that I've been waiting for. Graduation ball na.

It's not the party that I'm happy about, it's still about Chase. Yes him.

I don't know if it's normal or is this normal but I'm extra excited knowing I'll be with him tonight. Malala na talaga ako. Grabe bahala na basta masaya ako. Hahaha.

The last time I checked crush ko lang siya. But now i think I already crossed that line. I know, I'm aware hindi lang crush ito. Oo alam ko rin, ang aga aga kong lumandi. I can't help it. Huhu. Bahala na si superman sa kalandian kung ito.

It's 6:30pm, 6pm yung start but I arrived a lil bit late, sinadya ko yun para naman di halatang excited ako, and I also want na mauna naman si Chase sa akin no. Ang low class kaya pag ako ang naghintay sa kanya. Haha.

When it striked 7pm, I was nervous. Bakit wala parin siya? Is he coming? From what I've known concious siya sa oras. Seldom lang nalalate yun, sandamakmak ang lates ko compared sa kanya. Well maybe he's on his way. I can wait. Yes, I will wait.

9pm....

No. This is not happening. He's not even replying my texts. No answered calls. Hindi ko na na-enjoy ang sana ay most memorable day ng HS life ko. What the hell. Sana kahit reason or excuse lang naman kung anong nangyari sa kanya. It's not too much right?

The event is happening a lil longer than I ever imagined. I honestly got bored.

"Besh" it was Nissa.

I answered her with a tiring nod.

"You are not ruining you're night. Hey cheer up! Ghad besh, you want me to pokpok this heels sa ulo mo? I know I sound rude, but I told u so. Wag ka umasa. Please let it go. Enjoy. C'mon!"

Nissa dragged me literally. Muntik na nga ako sumubsob e. What an evil bestfriend I got right?

"Stop with that face!" she said while giving me beverages.

I know, I look bored but what can i do? I really am bored. To death.

She dragged me once again somewhere crowded. Ok might as well turn this night a lesser boring.

The night ended just like that.

Nagyaya pa sila after the party na mag bar but I don't have the energy na para dun. It's like all my energy melted down. Over pero it is really what I'm feeling.

"Are you sure you're going home?" Nissa is hopeful na sasama ako.

"Yup. Stop worrying I'm fine besh. It's not like I'll cut my wrist na no. You are so paranoid." I said as a matter of fact. Malungkot lang naman ako but I will not harm myself naman no. Oa lang talaga to e.

"Ok at least come with us for an hour. Then if hindi ka mag enjoy you can go home. Ipapahatid kita sa driver namin I promise." She raised her right hand.

With all the energy that's left of me, I nod. How can i say no to this convincing woman. She is too stubborn to tell.

@ the party.....

I don't know how my classmates manage to convince the guard that we are not a jail bait anymore.

We entered the bar worry-free.

Yeah right. Anyway we don't actually look like 16 beacuse we are magically covered with make-up.

I sat at the couch as soon as we reach inside.

Neon lights. They're too bright in a dim place like this. Nakakasakit ng ulo. I don't really go bar hopping. Trust me I'm makulit but I'm not a party girl. Hehe

"What you'd like for a drink?" my classmate Reena asked.

"Juice nalang sa akin."

Reena formed a smile and called Nissa.

"Nissa, talk to you're bestfriend, she said she's having just juice for tonight!" Reena laugh.

Nissa just smile and approach me.

"Okay juice!" she said.

I smiled. My bestfriend is really normal sometimes. Thanks God!

I roamed my eyes around the bar. Everybody is enjoying. People are care free. I can be like them minus the idea of being drunk.

Enjoying my juice, I smile when I saw my classmates dancing wild. Wildly crazy. Hahah mga adik talaga. Halatang pabalik-balik dito.

As I was eyeing everyone in the bar, I saw a familiar living figure.

Nilakihan ko talaga ang mata ko and I even walked towards it but not that close, just enough to confirm who I am seeing.

Just like that. I felt a pang in my chest.

I saw Chase having a pretty chitchat with God knows I don't want to call his girlfriend.

Yeah right. Of course he will chose her over me. I'm just a seatmate. Not even rings a bell.

I turned my back sit in the couch. Ha, I will not give him the satisfaction that I waited for him. Damn him. He could have just text me that he's with his gf. I can even accept that rather me seeing him here just having a chitchat. Does he even check his phone? Fak. Insensitive, extra insensitive lad.

I will enjoy tonight, I'm not ruining my night because of this insensitive jerk. Ha. I sound like a jealous gf, yeah whatever!! I'm really jealous, what's the fuss of denying.

Demn it, Chase.
