You'll Be Safe Here

18-Why did you like me?

Nads' PoV

How did that girl know my real name?! Huh?! Walang ibang nakakaalam non! Except my family!! How come she knew?!

Hindi ako makakapayag na ganun ganun na lang yon Labyrinth Santiago. Hindi pa ko tapos sayo.

I have to get you out of this school as soon as possible. Ayoko sayo. You don't belong here.

Before I forgot, sino ba yung guy na lagi niyang kasama lately? Hmmm. He may be one of my weapons against her 😏

I'll discover things and make sure you go down and away from this university, Labyrinth. Maghintay ka lang.

Lala's PoV

"You need to be more careful Lala. I'm sure those brats will still be after you, lalo na sinabi mo saken that you annoyed her again after we met her on the staircase"

"Edi gumanti sila wala akong pakialam Zach"

"Lala! They've done worst things to students, hindi mo sila ganun kakilala"

"They don't know me that much either kaya pantay lang"

"Hindi mo ko laging kasama"

"So?"

"Baka mapano ka"

"Kaya ko sarili ko no"

"Tsk. Why are you so hardheaded huh?"

"Hindi naman! Grabe!"

"Ehh ano tawag mo dyan?"

"Sino ba nagsimula Zach? Di ba sila??"

"But still it doesn't mean you need fight back on everything"

"I get your point pero sana magets mo rin na hindi ako basta bastang susuko. Walang kahit ano sa gagawin nila magpapaalis saken dito"

"Bakit?"

"I fell in love sa pagpasok ko sa school na to Zach"

"Ha?"

Ayy fota mali. Nagmukhang confession 🤦🏻‍♀️

"What I mean is ano nagustuhan ko na tong school na to! Hindi dahil lang sa isang bratinella ang magpapaalis saken sa school na to"

"Ohh I thought nafall ka na agad saken haha"

"Excuse me?! Like like lang oy che!"

"Why'd you like me?"

"Eh?!"

"What?"

"Bakit kailangan itanong yan?!"

"Gusto ko lang bawal ba?"

"Bawal!"

"Edi wag tss" tutulugan na naman ako 😣

"Hoy!"

"What?"

"Bakit ba lagi mo na lang akong tinutulugan?"

"Ano gusto mo gawin ko?"

"Kausapin mo ko!"

"I'm trying!! Ayaw mo naman sumagot tch"

"Wala ka bang ibang tanong?!"

"Kung sabihin kong wala may magagawa ka?"

"Edi wala! Tch"

"Kung ayaw mo sagutin tutulog na lang ako"

"Zach!!"

"Sshhh!!"

"Eto naman eh!!"

"Bakit na naman?!"

"Wala ka talagang ibang matanong?"

"Alangan naman itanong ko personal profile mo Lala? Ano ako slambook tss"

"Ohh bakit pwede naman itanong yon!"

"Ayoko"

"Bahala ka nga"

Umupo ako patalikod sa kanya habang siya as usual nakahiga tss

Nagulat na lang ako nung bigla siyang magsalita.

"I wanna know why you liked me simply because I know why I liked you myself. You changed me in a million ways possible... scratch that. You are bringing me back Lala. Nobody did that. Nobody ever wanted that. But you were able to easily walk your way through me. Ikaw lang naglakas loob kumainigan saken and maybe that's why I was able to develop something for you."

Natahimik ako shet ang haba na talaga niya magsalita

"Kaya ko lang naman gusto malaman kung bakit mo ko nagustuhan was because nobody did. Walang taong nagustuhan ang ugali o pagkatao ko. I am just curious, yun lang. Kung ayaw mong sagutin, sige... I won't bother asking anymore Lala"

"Zach..."

Napalingon ako kasi hindi na siya nagsasalita

"Hala tinulugan talaga ako?!"

Grabe talaga tong isang to!

"Zach! Huy!" Aba't wala talaga!

"Hay" I looked up at the sky

"Why did I like you? Simple. It's because you are you. Nagustuhan kita sa kung ano ka. No further reasons or explanations. Just being the Zach that you are, it's already likeable for me"

Nilingon ko uli siya pero talagang tulog ang buset 😑

"I told you the reason pero tulog ka so bahala ka dyan tss"

Zach's PoV

I heard everything. Nagtulug tulugan lang ako.

She liked the Zach that she knew? Pero hindi yun yung totoong ako. Pano pa yung Zach na makikilala pa niya, will she be able to like me still??
