Book 1: Possessive Madness (BL)

Third Time's The Charm

I was busy packing my things when my phone suddenly vibrated. I quickly took it out and answered the call. "Yes?" I asked.

"Hey, uh...Sean texted me last night asking if we're free tomorrow for a hangout." Aira said followed by a large smash that sounded like a door shutting. "So...are you free tomorrow?" She added. I hang my bag onto my shoulder before releasing a tired sigh. "Send me the time. I'll also check if John's free." I said. I began walking towards the gate and when I reached it, I saw the exact guy from the park and at the back of the school. He was hanging his head and busy typing. I was busy staring at him when my phone suddenly became louder.

"...hey Morris. MORRIS!" The girl yelled. I snapped back to reality then moved my phone a few inches away from my ear adjusting to the sudden change of frequency before I sheepishly scratched my nape. "Ah, huh? What were you saying?" I asked; still embarrassed and staring at the guy. "I was saying that it'll be in the afternoon. 4 PM to be exact." She said irritated in her tone. I simply nodded before uttering an "Okay." then ending the call and placing my phone inside my bag.

I was about to walk when my gaze landed on the other side of the street, where the guy was standing, and got curious where he had gone. I looked everywhere the guy would possibly hide but ended shrugging my curiosity away and began walking. As I was walking, I felt my stomach lowly rumble. I immediately took another route to the nearest convenience store. As soon as I arrived, I went inside and was greeted by an accidental bump onto some dude. I  apologized to him while I hang my head low and when I raised my head, I was staggered when I saw the exact guy I was curious about. The guy smiled before he stepped aside and walked past me. I, unintendedly, looked at the guy and followed him until he was as far as my eyes can see.

I turned around with my now knitted eyebrows while many questions flooded my brain. I shook my head and began searching for something to eat. And after paying, I took my phone and texted John about the invite while simultaneously walking and eating. When the message was sent, I was about to put my phone in my pocket when it vibrated. I answered the call and was greeted by John's happy voice. "Sure!" he said. I smiled before taking another bite. "Sunduin kita bukas mga 3:30." John added. I simply smiled before uttering an "Okay." in between my chewing.

After a thirty-minute drive the next morning, John and I arrived at Sean's rest house. He greeted us happily and welcomed us in. There we saw Aira talking to some guy beside some other guy I'm not familiar with. But as I roam my eyes around, a specific person caught my attention. He was staring at me seriously but when he noticed that I was also looking at him, he smiled. An oddly bitter smile.

"Uh, so...what do you guys wanna do?" Sean blurted out from behind. I looked at him before following John and sitting beside him.

"MOVIE MARATHON!" Aira yelled. Which everyone simply agreed to. Sean quickly arranged the sound system and the TV then the rest arranged the chairs. I was about to sit beside John after he arranged our chair in a much more comfortable position when Aira pulled me to the kitchen and we began looking for some snacks.

We were quiet for a while when I spoke up. "By the way...who was that guy you're talking to?" I asked. She didn't respond and hid in the cabinet's door but her blush didn't escape my sharp eyes. "Wait...are you blushing?" I asked before pulling her and closing the cupboard. "You are!" I teased. Her pale face became red and her smile became wider yet shy-er. I was about to speak when she suddenly cover her face up followed by a low squeal. One of my eyebrows rose while having a suspicious look. I was about to speak when Ace entered the room and told us that the system was ready. I simply nod and he immediately took off. I stared at him seriously and curiously to the point that Aira was looking back and forth to me and Ace.
