CHAPTER 17

Who will I choose?

Continuation...

I didn't replied and the two went confused.

Lumapit si Mark sakin.

"Albert, Diana's present today." he said and I stood up instantly.

"Come'on, let's say sorry to her now."

Sinalubong namin si Diana at nabigla siya.

"Diana, I'm sorry." Mark apologized right away. She looked away.

"Won't you forgive me?ah..it's okay if you won't." he gasped.

"I already forgave you." she assented and she continued on her way.

Mark smiled.

"Thank you Albert."

"You don't have to thank me." I insisted and tapped his back.

I saw Carla coming.

"Albert, that's Carla, right?" Mark asked.

"Yes." I turn away and goes back to my seat.

Nagbubulong bulungan ang mga estudyante tungkol kanina na hinalikan ko ang pisngi ni Carla.

"This is not good." I said and stood up again.

"I'll go to the comfort room."

As I walk to the comfort room, I saw Diana stood still and she was listening to what the students were whispering.

Lowanne came to meet me and she grabbed me to the cr.

"I know you're on your way here." she said and she looked around. She pushed me against the wall.

"Is that true Albert? You kissed Carla?" she mumbled.

I stood up straight and hold a grip on her shoulders.

"Don't mind them." I said and enter the men's comfort room.

CARLA'S POV

"Carla, how's your first day on Laedon University?" dad asked.

"Well, better." I said and smiled.

"Did Albert welcome you?" he asked and crossed his legs.

"Yes he did." I said and rolled my eyes. That's not even a welcome for me.

"Is Albert nice?" mom asked and sips her tea.

I smiled flirtatiously when I remembered that he kissed me in the cheeks.

"Yes.. He seems nice."

[At School]

As I enter the room, I've noticed Albert first. My new classmates were greeting me good morning. Albert noticed me. I waved at him but he just ignored it and look away.

I put my bag on my chair and went to him.

"Are you lying to me yesterday, because you just--"

I didn't continued on speaking when he stood up and glowered at me suspiciously.

"Don't assume Carla. You're the one who made me like this. Yesterday and today might be good day for me, but you ruin it." he whispered.

I smirked.

"Ridiculous!" I gushed and whisper to his ear.

"I don't care if you don't like me." I poked him in the chest two times. And I go back to my seat.

ALBERT'S POV

I went to Jonathan's classroom at noon.

"Oh, you come to pick me up?" he asked.

"Yes, ali ka na."

"You left us without an answer yesterday Albert." he said.

"Please remember this Jonathan. I did kissed her on the cheeks to pretend that I like her. Everyone's watching at us, I know someone will report to my father that I didn't seem nice to her." I uttered.

"Oh..why kiss her?" he asked.

I didn't answer.

"Sorry. So you still like Diana ey?"

I stopped.

"By the way, let's be friends with Diana!" I said in excitement.

"You're very friendly, Albert."

___________________

I met Diana along the way.

"Hi Diana!" I said and smiled wistfully.

"Hello."

"I'm sorry if I'm being rude to you." I apologized, because I know she obviously doesn't like me.

"You're not." she insisted and laughed.

"Diana, may I ask you right now? Can we be friends?" I asked.

This is it! Let's be friends now!

"Sure." she assented.

Lowanne came.

"Oh, you two met?" she asked.

"We're friends now!" I said.

"Woah! Another reunion this noon Albert!" she gushed.

"Oh yes yes yes.."

"Wait, I'll call Paul!" Jonathan said with excitement.

"Lowanne, I have a new friend. She's Hera." Diana said to Lowanne.

"I know her. She's our new friend too!" she said with a flinch.

"I heard my name." Hera suddenly came.

"You surprised as Hera. Well, I said to Diana that we're also friends!" Lowanne said.

"Where's Kian, Hera?" I asked.

"Why are you asking me?" she asked and glowered at me.

"Oh, look Hera. I'm sorry about the other day.." I apologized.

"Hmm..I'm sorry too." she sighed and walk away.

"Diana and Albert, just wait you two here. I'll go pick up Mark!" Lowanne said and went away too.

The two of us were left standing at the hallway. I smiled embarrassingly.

"Albert?" someone called me at the back. That voice was familiar. When I turn around, I was suprised, it was Carla.

She stood up there staring at me and her brows furrowed and she crossed her arms.

I stood up at the center between Diana and Carla.
