Awkward

Ngayong araw ang start ng school festival kagaya ng suggestion namin ni ryre ay madami nga ang attractions na inilagay ng student council I was sitting in the bench sa ilalim ng malaking puno habang hinihintay ko sina Cha, alam ko na nauna sila sakin pero asan na kaya sila?

"Aurie"

"Ryre!" naupo sya sa tabi ko

"Kanina kapa?"

"Uhm an hour ago, have you seen others?"

"Not yet...kakadating ko lang"

"Ahh"

"Let's roam around"

"Sure"

Nakasunod lang ako sa kanya habang gumagala kami sa mga booths ng mga pagkain

"This is great diba ryre?"

"Yeah" I get my phone from my pocket when it vibrates

"Cha where are you? What!?" napatingin din si ryre sakin na nakakunot ang noo "Ok sige will be there"

"What is it?"

"Clark got into accident" nag aalala kong sabi sa kanya

"Let's go"

Nagmadali kami sa pag alis sa school halos di na kami nag uusap habang nasa daan papunta sa hospital kung nasaan si Clark

"Ryre" napatigil din sya ng hawakan ko sya sa braso

"He's going to be fine let's go" hinawakan nya ako sa kamay at sabay kami sa pagpunta sa kwarto ni Clark kagaya ng inaasahan Ian and Cha are both there, Clark was lying in the bed unconscious madami syang pasa sa muka at sa katawan naka brace din ang leeg nya

"What happened?" I asked them saka ko lang napansin na nakatingin silang dalawa sa kamay namin ni Ryre, kaya agad akong humiwalay sa kanya at nilapitan ko si Cha na nakaupo sa sofa

"Kanina lang din namin nalaman yung nangyari, nag drive daw ng lasing si Clark kagabi sabi ng mommy nya"

"Should I punch him when he become unconscious?" Ian chuckle

"Your sadist Aurie"

"I was worried"

"Same us akala ko ay patay na ang lokong yan" Cha said

"He went to bar?" Ryre asked umiling lang si Ian

"No may party yata sa bahay ng relatives nya you know this guy palaging pasikat ayan tuloy"

"We should be celebrating the school festival but this happened" Cha sadly said

"Ok lang yon Cha may school festival pa naman next year" ngumiti ako sa kanya, she's looking forward to this event every year sabi nya kasi ay ganitong mga panahon lang namin nararanasan maging ordinary students

"The press gathered outside the hospital" Ian said habang nakatingin sa phone nya

"Hanngang dito ba naman tsk"

"How should we leave peacefully here?" I look worriedly at Ryre

"Ako na bahala sayo"

"How about us Ryre?" mapang asar na tanong ni Ian medyo nahiya tuloy ako sa dalawa

"Pwede naman kayo sumabay samin para isang labas na lang tayo" I said to them

"Oo nga naman pwede pala diba ryre?"

"Shut up Ian" tumawa lang si Ian at mukang nainis naman si Ryre dito

"Anyway Cha may sinabi ba ang doktor kung kelan magigising si Clark?" umiling lang ito

"Hindi namin nakausap ang doktor nya inabutan lang namin dito yung mommy at ate ni Clark wala naman silang nabanggit"

"Should we back to school after natin dito?" I asked them

"I think wag na lang kawawa naman si Clark he's waiting for the festival too" tumango ako kay cha

"Ryre are you going to attend the party tomorrow night?" Ian asked him pareho kami ni Cha na napatingin sa dalawa

"Probably" he said "Ikaw ba?"

"Yes I will attend will be meet some of lolo's business partners"

"I see"

"Party? Can you tag us along?" Cha asked pero kay Ian naman nakatingin

"Charity ball yun, want to come with me as my date cha?" Ian asked her at namula naman ito

"Can I?"

"Sure"

"How about you Aurie? You want to come with me too?" Ryre asked me

"Sorry I need to attend charity event too as my mom's replacement"

"Is that so?"

"Yup"

Medyo gabi na din ng makabalik ang mommy at ate ni Clark sa hospital, Clark was still sleeping ng lumabas kami

"May mga press pa din kaya?" Cha asked

"Siguradong meron pa"

Tama nga si Ian paglabas namin ay may mga press sa labas ng entrance mabuti at hindi sila nakaharang sa pinto at sa emergency doors, but enough for them to take videos and pictures, nagyuko lang ako ng ulo ko dahil nasisilaw ako sa liwanag ng flash ng mga camera nila, Ryre just hold me ganun din si Ian kay Cha

"Ryre Allejo and Aurie Manjares seen together stepping outside the hospital" I heard one anchor reported

"Ryre Allejo protectively escorted Aurie Manjares" oh damn

"Are they back together again? Or they did not really split up, unlike the rumored break up of them" I heard ryre cussed bago sya pumasok sa kotse at mabilis na pinaandara palayo sa lugar na yon
