In Love With The Game (COMPLETED)

Chapter 20

#ILWTG20 Chapter 20

I didn't know how Yago did it, but somehow, he managed to convince me to skip the first week of class. Pumunta kami sa Baguio for the whole week dahil gusto naming malamigan. Dumaan din kami nung pauwi sa Pangasinan kasi gustong makita ni Yago si Ellie. True enough, walang pumasok na professor. Jax was looking at us weirdly when we finally went to school, but we still haven't told him about us. It's just so weird to tell it formally since parang wala namang nagbago. Magkasama pa rin kami palagi—nadagdagan lang ng holding hands, forehead kisses, and Yago occasionally calling me 'baby.'

Nasa hallway pa rin kami. Mukhang no show pa rin ang mga professor namin ngayon. I wonder kung may magpapakita na ba. Medyo hassle pa naman ng subjects. Oblicon was scaring me. I heard from some upperclass na sobrang important nung subject na 'yun kasi foundation siya ng halos lahat ng future subjects.

"Yago," I said. He looked at me. "Magaling ka ba sa obli?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. We'll see. Why?"

I looked at Jax and Cha who were already doing their advance reading. I didn't want to label them as nerds, but they were nerds. They were nerds in its realest sense!

"Feel ko mahihirapan ako, e... Magpapaturo na lang ako kay Jax. Wala namang magagalit dun, no? May nahanap ka ng papakilala sa kanya?"

Another thing about dating, we started this fucking weird hobby about finding the right girl for Jax. We didn't know what he wanted in a girl! Sobrang elusive nung tao na 'yun pagdating sa lovelife! But we managed to extract information from him about his one and only ex-girlfriend... and ang ganda nung babae! Paano kaya napikot ni Jax 'yun?

"Wala pa," he replied. "However, I tried to install Tinder in his phone. When he asked, I panicked so I told him it's mine."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "What? But you already told him you're seeing someone, right?"

Tumango siya. "Right... so if you see him rolling his eyes in disappointment towards me, it's because he thinks I'm cheating."

"You fucking weirdo."

He laughed. "I'm sorry. I just panicked. You know the look he gives when he's disappointed?" he asked and I nodded because I am so familiar with that look! Mukha pa namang laging disappointed sa mundo si Jax. I didn't understand why Cha likes him... I mean, Cha wouldn't verbally say it, but obvious naman na may gusto siya kay Jax. The two of them together would produce the nerdiest baby.

"Why did you have to install it in his phone?"

"Because he should talk to the girls. If I install it in my phone, I'd have to reply," he explained.

"Feeling mo naman magrereply 'yun?"

"Ako na bahala 'dun, baby. Leave it to me; Jax won't graduate without a girlfriend."

Why were we so obsessed with Jax's lovelife?! Naubusan na yata kami ng papanoorin sa Netflix kaya real life na iyong pinapakailamanan namin.

We stayed in the hall for much longer, but walang dumating na prof for Oblicon. Pero para hindi masayang iyong effort namin na pumasok, we went to the bookstore and grabbed some books. Medyo kinakabahan nga ako kasi baka 'di 'to 'yung required. Mahal pa naman ng books. Nanghihinayang din ako kapag hindi ginagamit.

I was staring at the Jurado book in front of me, debating if I should buy it already. But what if ibang book ang required? Mahal mahal nito, e!

"Are you gonna buy?" Yago asked.

"Baka 'di 'to 'yung recommended. And 'di pa nga natin alam prof."

Sumandal si Yago doon sa shelf and crossed his arms. I had always loved his arms. Those veins? My god. Sometimes, I thank God for creating Yago—seemed like he exerted extra effort when He made him.
