I am, always, falling

06

"Kayo ba?"

I stopped eating my ramen and looked at Vien, smirking. Umiwas ako ng tingin at dahan-dahang umiling. Kwinento ko sakanila 'yung nangyari kagabi. Jania was smirking, Ady was shocked and mas kinilig pa sa 'kin, and Vien.. teasing me.

"Maybe he likes you? I mean, it's very obvious naman. Bakit ka niya hahalikan, 'di ba?" Ady asked. Napatingin kaming lahat kay Jania, because that's what she always do. 

"Hoy! Fling lang akin!" she defended herself.

I looked at Ady. I remembered Seith is one of her close friends. Baka may alam siya?

"Audrey, 'di ba close mo si Seith?" I asked her.

"No, not really. Pinakilala lang siya sa 'kin ni Reese, and yeah, we started talking pero hindi ko alam 'yung details about sakaniya," she said.

"And don't worry, we're not close!" Ady winked at me. Inirapan ko siya at kinain ulit 'yung ramen ko.

Napatingin naman si Vien sakaniya, "Ano? FC ka lang?" she chuckled.

"Yeah, parang gan'on na nga," Ady shrugged.

We watched Netflix again. Hindi ko na nga lang maintindihan dahil bumabagabag pa rin sa 'kin 'yung nangyari. Maybe he's just like Jania too? Flings? But why me? 

I went home after that. Tama nga si Seith, it feels lonely to be alone. I grabbed my phone and dialed his number, forgetting what happened last night. Good thing hindi ko napindot 'yung call button. 

"What the hell am I thinking?" I stared at the ceiling. I covered my face after remembering what happened last night.

Because of me, being preoccupied last night, I called Trevor with his phone to pick him up. He even teased us for being so red! 

I tried everything to distract myself but I kept on remembering it. 

"Kaya ko ba 'to?" I asked myself again, for the tenth time. I let out a heavy sigh before dozing myself to sleep. 

I woke up early which is good because I have plenty of time to fix myself. I wore a simple maroon sweatshirt and tucked it in on my mom jeans. I also wore white sneakers and brought my tote bag.

My heart was pounding until I reach La Salle, knowing magkikita kami ni Seith. I was informed by Ady na kakalipat lang ni Seith sa La Salle kaya 'di ko siya nakikita sa klase before. 

"Kalma, Stella. Kalma," I whispered to myself before going down.

I went straight to my class and felt relief when I didn't see any Seith around. I went straight to Riane and my other friends.
