Coveting Her Innocence

Chapter 1

Typos and Grammatical error.

"Chloe, you should try this flavor next time..." she sipped the drink one more time.

Sitting now in our usual tambayan. I ordered only ice blended chocolate, but hindi 'ko siya maubos... Too sweet for me.

"You will not regret this one, hindi siya masyadong matamis."

I continued scrolling on my phone, tumitingin ng mga balita mula sa mga classmates na still mutual 'ko. It's been a long time, ang tagal na 'noong last open 'ko nito.

Ang daming notifications, but too tired to check it one by one. Inopen 'ko lang naman siya, para may i-check sana.

"You should work with your social media accounts, Chloe..." suhestiyon niya.

"I'm working on it na, Trixie..." while clicking some profiles that I didn't know.

"You are only following 13 accounts? Hindi pa ako kasama 'don... geez. Halos magka-spider web na nga yata 'yan."

I've been thinking about it lately, but ang hirap makasanayan na binubuksan ang mga 'to.

I tried to searched for a name...

Tony...

Toni...

Hmm...? I didn't know his surname. I only heard his name.

Tumikhim ako.

"Why you looked stressed?"

"Wala."

Thony...

Walang lumilitaw. Akala 'ko ba alam ng social media ang lahat ng tao? Lahat ng lumilitaw na profile wala naman siya, 'yung iba mukhang fake accounts pa.

"Wala lang? You are typing really hard, Chloe. Is there a problem?" pointing a point.

Tumikhim ako.

"Kilala mo ba 'yung lalaki kanina sa cafeteria?" medyo mahinang boses 'kong sabi.

"Ha? Lakasan mo, we are just two here."

"Yung lalaki kanina sa cafeteria, the one that helped the girl. I didn't notice his uniform or any name plate. Maybe you know him."

Habang nasa cafeteria kami kanina, may babaeng tumama sa amin at talagang napalakas ang impact ay natapon ang dala niyang student meal.

"Hmm... Kung kanina 'yung sinasabi mo," Trixie crossed her arms. "Si Wilbert? Don't tell me si Wilbert ang hinahanap po dyan kanina pa?"

"Wilbert ba? Kanina narinig 'ko mga kasama niya, tawag nila sa kaniya, something like T-Thony."

"Nakalimutan 'ko ang real name, but that is his nickname. But... why?" with a slight smile raising her side of lips. "All of a sudden you are asking about a boy? All I know din, seniors natin sila. Ahead sila sa atin, you will have your revenge?"

"Or... you are interested about the boy?" she winked at me.

Kumunot ang noo 'ko.

"What revenge? No! You know me, I don't do those kind of things. And I'm just asking for some reason."

I find the boy attractive... What's wrong about that? He looked dashing with his clean haircut, i'm just checking if he had any social media accounts. Yet, hindi 'ko pa mahanap.

And the accident earlier was just none to me. It's Trixie that is overreacting, everytime there was an accident, she always thought that it is on purpose.

I remember one time that we arrived in this particular place and saw that our usual table is occupied already. She thought that it is on purpose, that the people sitting was intentionally doing it to us.
