Dreams of Tomorrow | Book 1 (UNDER-EDITING)

Chapter 12

Gwen

We're here at the cafeteria. We're waiting for Kay and Blake to come back. I took out my book. I don't know why but I glanced at the entrance of cafeteria. I just regret it though. I saw a devil kasi e. That devil is smiling at me. And then, just like that, Im starting to get irritated.

Im always like this because of him. That urge to walkout when I saw his face. But I couldn't. First, we're here in the cafeteria to eat. Second, because it is rude to leave people while we eat. And third, I wouldn't do that just for this guy. No way, duh.

"Blake." She looked at both of us and her brows furrowed. "I didn't know that you're close now." Sambit ko.

"Is it wrong? As long as we don't have romantic feelings with each other, it's fine with me." Napailing nalang ako.

Blake already confessed to me na may gusto na siya kay Kaydence. But I told him about our promise. He's okay with it. He's willing to wait naman daw. Sana all lang. Sana all willing maghintay at handang pawiin ang masalimuot na perspective ng pagmamahal.

I looked at Britt. She's still staring at nowhere. Nakatulala. I can sense that she's sad? Hay nako, this is what Kaydence and I were talking about. Pag hindi para sayo yung pag ibig na inaasam mo, maiiwan ka lang na nasasaktan, malungkot at mag isa. Bakit ba kasi naimbento pa yan?

Pero minsan napapaisip din ako. If ever ba na magbago ang pananaw ko sa pag ibig, mahahanap ko ba yung true love and happiness ko? Kanino naman? Kay Ryden? Teka, what?! Bakit ko ba iniisip mga ganitong bagay?

Teka bakit ganun ako magreact? Ano namang masama don? He's tall naman. Handsome, Generous, Charming, Genius, Hard-Working, but I don't like his annoying presence. Naiirita ako. But these past few days, its like I can sense if he's coming or not. And my heartbeat's never stop beating so fast. And it annoys me. Just like now.

"Hi guys, Mind if I sit right here?" As usual, the Ryden Makulit.

I was about to say no but Kay cut me off.

"Sure!"

"Thank you miss!" He said joyfully.

I looked at Kaydence, confused and surprised at the same time. Himala at hindi niya ako sinasamaan ng tingin. She gave me an 'it's okay' sign. I sighed. Maybe she's starting to accept Blake, Ryden and Mr. Abellon to become our friends. Well ako, hindi ko pa tanggap si Ryden. Pag naging magkaibigan siguro kami lagi kaming mag aaway. Maingay lang.

I faced Ryden and hit his arms when he's sitting comfortably beside me.

"Bakit ka nandito?" Masungit na tanong ko.

"Bakit masama po ba?" Ryden said with a tone like a kid. Nagpacute pa nga ng mukha!

"Ugh, Tumigil ka nga sa pag-papacute mo." Oops I think I said it wrong. They will misunderstood it!

"Bakit nakukyutan kaba saken? Crush mo na ko noh?" Ryden teased me.

And he already misunderstood it. And that teasing made my heart pound and it annoys me.

"Oo dudurugin na kita. Nanggigigil na ko sayo ha. Ayaw mo talaga kong tantanan." I said while greeting my teeth.

They laughed at us. I rolled my eyes at him. I just ate my food.

Later on, after we ate, we decided to go back to our classes. Inunahan kong maglakad si Ryden. I hurridly sat at my chair because the prof came. Luckily, Ryden is in the first row. Malayo siya saken. Good thing, though. Magkaklase na naman kasi kami. Pansin ko nga lagi na kaming magkaklase. Did he change his schedule the same time with mine?!
