On Retrieving The Untold

CHAPTER 20

Yesterday passed as a looooong and booooring day.

Jace and I did really spend an hour in that crap jail! Tsaka, kami lang din nagpiyansa sa mga sarili namin dahil wala naman palang may nakakita na dinakip kami ng mga KSP'ng mga criminilogy students na 'yon. Tsk!

When we got out, back to work na kami ni Jace. We immediately head to the Mr. & Ms. St. Scho Quarters para bantayan ang contestants namin.

Pagdating namin, akala ng mga nasa loob kasali kami. The organizer of the event even scold us dahil pa-VIP daw kami for being so late. Jace just showed him/her (well he's/she's a gay. Ah ewan!) his I.D to shut him off dahil di naman talaga kami contestants.

He then apologized to us and accommodated us well. After a while, naramdaman ko nalang na nagpapapansin na siya kay Jace. He kept on glancing at him and even asked Jace if he would allow him to treat him for lunch.

"Hi, Sir! Would you mind if I pay for your lunch today? Just a sort of apology for my misbehavior earlier."

I remember how he asked Jace with his flickering eyes and pouting lips. I almost vomit, seriously.

I thought aayaw si Jace but he just nodded which caused me to look at him in shock.

"Oh, thank you! I'm Briana by the way, and you are?"

"Alpher."

Jace answered timidly and took his hand for a handshake. Halos mapunit naman yung labi ng Briana sa laki ng ngiti.

"What a sexy name, huh. So, Alpher, let's go---"

Hindi niya pa natatapos yung sinasabi niya nang bigla na namang nagsalita si Jace.

"And this is Venice."

Saad niya at itinuro ako. Nakita ko namang umismid yung bakla sa akin at inilahad ang kamay niya. I then took it.

"Hi! It's nice to know you, Briana."

I said at binigyan siya ng nakakaasar na ngiti. He slowly rolled his eyes, trying to hide it from me but I still saw it. Huh!

"And she's coming with us."

Jace continued. Napanganga yung labi ni Briana. Promise, I almost laugh so hard that time. Mabuti nalang talaga that I'm good at composing my emotions.

Wala na siyang nagawa ng tumayo na si Jace at naglakad palabas ng room. Sumunod nalang ako sa kaniya, and the last thing I heard is a

"Damn that girl!"

from Briana. At sumunod na sa amin. Haha! Venice always wins. Sorry girl!

"Ven, kailan ka pa naging basurera? Hahaha!"

Saad ni Kiara habang pinipitik-pitik yung can ring na nakasabit sa bag ko.

"Shut up."

I told her and took my bag away from the table. Nandito kami ngayon sa isang cafe malapit sa St. Scho, taking our snacks since we're all getting strained na from our responsibilities in this big event.

"Parang simple lang no? Pero siguradong mamahalin 'tong keychain na 'to."

Sambit naman ni Loraine. Napahilamos nalang ako sa mukha ko. Gusto kong humalakhak sa sinabi niya but I can't. Mas mabuti ng ganyan ang isipin nila since I cannot tell them yet that I'm already getting married.

"Ano nga palang sabi nung President niyo? Buti inallow kang magbreak? And infairness ah, he's really a hottie! May girlfriend na ba yun? Maybe this is already the right time for me to enter in a relationship again."
