Spark Of Love (On-Hold)

Chapter 16: You Aren't Telling

LOUIEGIE'S POINT OF VIEW

"What's the meaning of this?! Are those really Schneider's car keys?!" Lauren shouted after Winter left the field.

I faced her. "Yes."

Her gaze became more deadly. "What?! Are you insane?!"

"No, I'm not insane," I said.

"Do you know that those keys have an important memories to Winter?! EACH KEY!" she shouted as she rolled her eyes.

My forehead twitched. "What?"

She sighed, trying to stay calm before she spoke. "Each car key are all important for Winter. Most of them are Tita Wirleza's gift to Winter when she's still alive. Anyway, where did you get those keys?"

"Before I came to the Section 2's room, I called Tito Jerome and I let him know that I have a surprise for Winter. I said that I needed their car keys. I saw their parking lot and there are many cars, so I thought Winter would love my surprise, but it turned the total opposite." I felt guilty. I didn't know that those are important to her.

"Fix this, Louiegie. Please." After she said those words, she left the field. I stayed there for a minute or two before I decided to find Winter. I need to say sorry to her.

I went to their room, but I didn't found her there. I also went to the locker area, but I didn't also found her there.

"Where could I find you, Winter? Where?" I walked along the corridor, hoping that I'll found her. "I went to your room, you're not there. I went to the locker are, you're not there. What if you're hungry?" My eyes widened because of what's in my mind.

I went to the cafeteria and I saw Flinn leaving the cafeteria. When I entered, I saw Winter crying. While I'm walking closer to her, people began shouting.

"NERD BOY!"

"What are you doing here?! Hindi ka bagay dito!"

"Oh my gosh! He's approaching Winter! Mapaalis ka sana!"

I ignored them and went on. "Here," I said as I handed her my handkerchief. She lifted up her gaze and our eyes met.

She stood up. "What are you doing here, 'NERD BOY'?!" she shouted and the other students also shouted NERD BOY again. I remembered our first encounter, she called me NERD BOY and most of the students started calling me by that name since then.

I hold her chin and wiped her tears using my handkerchief. Tinabig niya ang kamay ko at tumingin sa akin ng masama. "I'm sorry about what happened earlier, Winter. I didn't knew that those are important to you. If I only knew, I wouldn't do that."

She rolled her eyes as she laughed sarcastically. "Are you joking? If yes, you made a great joke," she said, but I didn't spoke. "Sorry? Will it change what happened?! No, right?!" she added.

"Sorry." I looked down.

"I don't need your sorry, okay?!"

"Then what do you need?"

"I need you out of my sight, NOW!"

As I faced her, I heard other students shouted again.

"Umalis ka na daw, NERD BOY!"

"Alis!"

"Ang lakas kasi ng loob lumapit kay Winter! Akala mo naman kung sino!"

Winter looked at them with deadly glare. "Can you shut up?!"
