Steal His Heart

21 // Wonderwall

CHAPTER 21:

Lyle William's POV

I'm at Silvers place, may practice kami para sa gig namin before graduation. I wonder where the dudette. Matawagan nga.

Nakakatatlong ring na pero di pa rin niya sinasagot! I tried again, but she really ain't answering her phone. Nag-cellphone pa siya!!

Itinago ko na muna ang iphone sa bulsa ko. At nagsimula ulit na magpraktice sa pag-kanta.

Back beat, the world is on the street that the fire in your heart is out.

I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt.

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now... ♪

Because maybe,

You're gonna be the one that saves me.

And after all,

You're my wonderwall. ♪

Huminto ako sa pagkanta. Di ako mapakali. "Break muna." sabi ko habang binabalik sa stand ang mike.

"Bro, you cool?" tanong sakin ni Silver na nakatayo habang hawak hawak ang paborito niyang guitar. While, Drei (drummer) and Troye (beatbox) are so engrossed on their instruments.

"Yeah. Labas lang ako." tinanguan niya lang naman ako. Lumabas ako ng Music room ni Silver at nagderetsong labas nila kung saan naka-park ang 'baby' ko.

Siguro, tulog yun. Or may pinuntahan? Where exactly? Argh.

I decided to text Max instead.

To: Max

Max, are you with Zev?

Maya-maya lang ay naramdaman ko nang nag-vibrate ang iphone ko.

From: Max

Hindi eh. Pero, sabi ni Zaid nakila Dillon.

What is she doing there? Bakit siya lang, sila lang. Hindi ang buong barkada. Something is really off with that two! Though, I can't decipher what.

I know that she can handle herself just fine. Pero hindi ko pa rin mapigilan mag-alala. She's my dude, it's natural.

I tried to call her again...

Second ring and at last! She answered the phone!

"Hello," bati niya. May mga children song akong naririnig mula sa linya niya. What exactly is going on? "Dude! Sorry, di ko napansin yung mga tawag mo." malambing na sabi niya. Ganyan yan kasi may kasalanan.

"Psh." nagtatampo ako. Di niya sinasabi mga lakad niya, saka kung bakit niya kasama si Dillon. I know she's hiding something away from me. Bestfriend pa man din niya ako.

"Uy, sorry na." sabi niya pa. "Ganyan ka naman eh." malamig na sabi ko. "Dude naman... galit ka na nyan?" I bet she's pouting right now. Nawala tuloy yung tampo ko.

"Nah, let's just talk later. I know you're busy." sabi ko at sumandal sa 'baby' ko. "Galit ka eh." pilit niya pa. Napangisi ako atsaka inayos ang baseball cap na nasa ulo ko. "Not anymore." sabi ko.
