Chapter 4
Taking Care
"Huh?" I blinked, getting nervous at what I heard.
I hope I'm wrong.
"Sabi ko, gusto ko rin pa-chill chill lang." he explained with a laugh.
"Okay..." I just answered. Kinabahan ako roon, ah! Siraulo talaga 'to.
"Bye. See you tomorrow, I guess." I chuckled and gave him a wave before unlocking my door. Papasok na sana ako sa loob ng mapatigil ako dahil sa sinabi niya.
"Hey... were you mad about the kiss?" he gently asked. "I'm sorry if you were upset... but I will never be sorry for kissing you."
I looked back at him, lips parted in shock. Napako na ako sa kinatatayuan ko nang lumapit siya at ayusin ang ilang hibla ng buhok na kumakalat sa mukha ko.
Napatingin ako sa kamay niya. I sighed and held his hand to put it down. "Matthew, we're friends. And... that kiss was just a mistake. Let's forget about what happened, okay? I don't want to ruin the friendship we have."
"Maybe you don't... but I do. That was not a mistake for me." He answered.
I shook my head. "Stop playing with me." Hindi ako kagaya ng mga babae mo. I replied and went inside my room.
It just went worse the next day. May meeting ulit ang student council para sa nalalapit na freshmen welcome party. Natagalan bago magsimula ang meeting dahil wala pa si Lucas at... siya.
"Gagi ka, anong nangyari?" Daniella laughed at Lucas' face when he arrived. Mukhang puyat ang isang 'to.
"Napuyat ako, gago. May na-friendzoned na lasing." Tuloy ang bulungan ng dalawa. Rinig ko naman sila pareho, nag-effort pa bumulong.
"Ay, for the friendzoned ang ferson?" Daniella laughed. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin ng paglaruan niya ang buhok ko.
At... iyon na nga. Late ang president. Buti na lang hindi kasama ang Head Mistress sa meeting na 'to. Kung kasama, siguradong napagalitan na siya dahil sa pagiging unprofessional.
Psh. Why do I even care?!
"Fucking hangover." Matthew murmured. "Let's start."
Tahimik lang ako buong meeting. Nang mapatingin ako sa relo ko, late na pala ako sa first class ko! Oh my god!
Napatayo ako at kinuha ang bag ko. All of them looked at me. The grumpy President raised a brow at me. "Where are you going, Miss VP?"
"I'm sorry. I'm late for my class."
A smirk visited his lips. "We're all late. Settle down, we'll continue the meeting."
