Falling Leaves

Chapter 22: Competition

Xena's P.O.V.

"Liar, come on, let's have a lunch.." I grabbed her arm as soon as I look at her, she can't contain her smiles, damn kinikilig siguro siya! I can't help but to smile as well, at napasimangot na naman ako kapag naaalala ko ang paglalandian nila ni Ramirez, ugh, seriously, I gonna kick that hoe out of our school! I don't care if she's also the part owner!

"Aray, ang higpit naman ng hawak mo.." oops, I didn't recognize that, I am holding her that tight, ugh, sino bang hindi manggigigil kung may umaaligid na higad sa kaniya! Ugh!

"Ugh, stop demanding! I am willing to hold you in this way, para hindi ka mapunta sa iba!!" What-the-actual-fuck??! What do I mean by that?!!!

My, Xenaiden dear, you sounded like a possessive girlfriend!

Shut the fuck up!

"Huh, hindi mo naman kailangan gawin yun, sa iyo lang ako." I feel my cheeks burned on what she said!

"T-that's not what I meant!!" Damn, why do I have to be sound like defensive. Nagkibit-balikat lang ito, ugh, she's seriously making me annoyed!

"Ugh, fine, stick with that Ramirez! I don't need you anyways!" I pushed her, I saw shocked on her face, I feel guilty of what I've acted now and earlier in the table.

"Oh, okay.." She look so down and walk away like a kid who bullied by kids at the park.

My inner self is battling between, should I chase her and apologize or just let her walk away like that?

At the end, I chose not to chase her.

Damn.

I just walk with the table, shit! I am supposed to have a lunch with her!

"Oh, Xenny, why Leaf left?" Tanong ni Lian while sipping on her ice tea, I raised a brow and didn't answer her.

"Attitude ka sis?" I glared at her and she just zipped her annoying mouth.

I have lost my appetite so I decided to leave the table leaving Lianna with questionning look. I walk to the farthest restroom just to have some peaceful time for myself and retouch a bit, even though I don't need it because I am always blooming, duh? But, I don't know, I just need to be the prettiest.

Oh, girl, you are trying to impress Leaf!

That's not it! Bitch!

Malapit na ako sa restroom when I heard familiar voice that talking to each other; it was Alessana and, Del Fiero, argh! Automatic na kumulo ang dugo ko! Ugh, little more patience, Xena. I eavesdrop a little to their convo.

"Leaf, I thought you are giving up liking her? She's not really interested to you!" Bitch, you are poisoning her!

"I am giving up, pero, meron pa ring katiting na hope na hindi maalis eh. Pero siguro, it's time na kalimutan ang feelings ko, dapat magkaibigan na lang kami.." she said in sad tone, I feel my heart pound so low, as if it died. I feel it beating the pain across my body.

"I think, you are just doing the right thing, see, she keeps you pushing away and say bad things towards you.." Am I that bad? But, I swear I didn't mean it, I said it, because I am mad. I feel a tear fell off, the only thing for sure, I am hurting.

"Hmm, sa tingin ko, hindi naman niya yun sinasadya, siyempre, hindi ko pa rin maiwasang masaktan. Pero, minsan, kung ano ang sinasabi ng tao sa akin, yun na rin ang tingin ko sa sarili ko." I feel the pain when she said that, I feel so guilty on how I treat her, I don't even remember that I complimented her, when in fact, she deserves it anyway.
