It was already 2 am and I couldn't sleep. I wish I didn't know why but I do.
I was waiting for his reply.
"Ah.. Sorry. Naging busy lang sa training and school work." he said chuckling awkwardly.
"Busy san? paikot ikot ka nga lang sa bahay."
I jump a little because I didn't know Dani was behind me na. I looked at thirdy in the eyes but umiwas siya.
He lied.
"Ano? tatayo nalang ba tayo dito? let's go na!" sabi ni pongs.
Thirdy looked at me before nodding lightly. I said goodbye and they went off.
Did he just lie?
Ferdinand Ravena what are you doing to me?
Nagsimula lahat ng to sa naread kong thread sa twitter eh! I shouldn't even be acting or feeling this way. Damn those realizations.
It was probably around this time too when I got bored and scrolled through Twitter when I passed by a thread made by fans about Thirdy... and me?
It said "The things Ferdinand does for Beatriz"
There were tons of replies from different people. Ibat ibang observation. Even the things I wasn't aware of or... maybe I was but didn't realize. I don't know.
Base sa pinapakita niya ngayon parang hindi naman. Parang di niya naman ako... gusto. Ano ba! hayaan mo na nga. let's not put malice nalang. I don't want my head to hurt.
The next day coach told me to rest muna since I was recovering palang pero I still went to practice. I didn't have anything to do at home and wala din akong class.
"Oh, Bea, you're here!" gulat na sabi ni ate mowns.
"Yeah, got a lot of time," I said and shrugged.
I sat on the bench while watching them train. I observed and made some pointers too so I'd know where I can somehow educate them.
Maya maya I saw Julia entering the gym with a paper bag. Dani excused herself to go to Julia. Huh... What is she doing here and why is Dani running towards her?
"Nakalimutan mo daw?" she asked.
"Yeah. I was such in a hurry na kanina eh. Si kuya?" Dani asked while checking the things inside the paper bag.
"He's waiting outside. Kakain kami. Anything that you want?" she asked while waiting for Dani to answer. She scanned the room and our eyes met. Ilang seconds na titigan before she smiled and so did I. half-hearted nga lang.
Julia? Naguluhan ako. Since when were they close? And kakain? With thirdy? What? Do they know each other pala? Why didn't I know that? I get na since she's part of the squad ganon pero I haven't seen them bond.
I scoffed. Busy pala ah
Tumayo na ako to leave. I wanna go somewhere. Hindi ko alam saan.
"Dani!" sigaw ni Coach O
"Yes coach!" nagmadali ng magpaalam and went back to training.
"Bei! alis ka na?" habol na tanong ni ate mowns kaya napatigil ako.
"Uh yeah. I'll be back later nalang." I said and nagpaalam na din. Dahil doon, nagkasabay pa kaming naglakad palabas ni Julia.
"Mabuti you're okay na.." medyo maingat niyang sabi.
napalingon ako ng slight.
"Yeah, okay na" I replied and nodded.
"San ka punta niyan? do you wanna go with us for brunch?" I saw her glance at me probably hoping I'd come. Why is she so nice? ugh.
"Uh, no thanks. Sige, una na ako." I said. binilisan ko lakad to my car. I saw thirdy waiting outside his car. Alam kong nakatingin siya saken but I acted like I didn't notice him.
"Bei-" tawag niya pero nagtuloy tuloy ako. I went inside my car and closed the door. I closed my eyes and huminga saglit.
What is wrong with you Beatriz?
Pinaandar ko na yung sasakyan. Bumuntong hininga ako bago nag backing.
*HONKKKKK
Napasudden stop ako sa gulat. My heart was beating so fast.
Omygod!! Nakabangga ba ko? Did I hit someone??? Something??
I looked behind me and my sasakyan pala dapat na dadaan pero hindi ko nakita. Hindi ako agad nakagalaw from shock.
"Beatriz!" someone shouted from outside knocking on my window.
"Bea open the door!" I held onto my chest sa sobrang kaba.
"Beatriz ano ba!" Thirdy's voice thundered from the outside kaya napalingon ako. I looked at him then opened the car and went out.
"What happened?!" he asked holding both my arms preventing me from moving.
I just looked at him and he was waiting for my reply.
"Are you okay?!" he asked mas may diin. Iniwasan ko siya getting out of his hold.
nakababa na pala yung student din na may ari ng sasakyan na muntik ko lang mabangga.
"Im sorry, hindi kita napansin agad. Was there any damages?" I asked and scanned what happened.
"Wala naman. Pero please naman, next time be careful," he said. I nodded softly.
"Im sorry talaga." nakapamewang ako ngayon dahil sa frustration. I checked if wala talaga damage and wala naman but it was so close.
"It's okay. sige, mauna na ako." pagpapaalam niya and drove the other way nalang. I groaned. I know he's behind me pero ayoko na i-acknowledge.
I inhaled and then exhaled. Dumeretso na ako sa pinto ng car ko. but before I can even reach it sinarado niya iyon.
"ano ba!" I said. Muntik pa akong maipit!
"What? like Im not here? Bea you almost got into an accident! What were you thinking?! Were you not looking??" galit niyang sabi.
"Malayo sa bituka! And wala naman diba?" sigaw ko din sakanya because he was raising his voice din. Kunot noo siyang nakatingin sakin. Halatang inis sa inasal ko. "And why do you care? can you just leave me alone nalang?" Inis kong sabi sabay irap.
"Anong klaseng tanong yan? Ofcourse I do! you're my bestfriend!" sagot niya. Muntik na akong matawa sa sinabi niya.
"Oh? really?" sarkastiko kong sabi.
"What do you mean?" nakapamewang na din siya.
"Nothing. Can I go now?" I said and passed by him opening the door of the driver's seat. But before I can enter he stopped me pulling my arm.
"Ano?" inis kong sabi. he sighed and then looked at me in the eyes.
"Im sorry.." mahina niyang sabi.
marahas kong binawi ang braso ko from his hold and went inside my car closing the door and driving off.
Sorry my ass. Magsama kayo. Hindi ko naman hinihiling na mabulunan kayo pero parang ganon na nga.

Hayran KurguA best friend. Thirdy Ravena was only a best friend to Bea de Leon. At least that's what she kept telling everyone. It's not until she reads this thread her fans made about them. Confused? Why is she confused?
