Paper Hearts on Paper Planes

Chapter 13

Chris's POV

It's Friday na, parang kailan lang nagMonday and nakita ko ulit si Sharon.

Gab's still not with us, she's really letting her pride get the best of her.

"Claire have you spoken to Gab already?" Jerrick asked.

"Nope, we still haven't talked. Kahit na anong approach ko, ayaw niya pa rin."

"How about Sharon, Claire. I haven't seen her."

"Sorry Chris, pero hindi na kami nagkikita lately in fact she haven't contacted me na."

"Aahhh ganun ba."

"I have an idea, what if we'll throw a party para sa homecoming ni Sha, since hindi naman natin siya nasundo, perfect rin friday ngayon, walang pasok bukas."

"Party na naman babe?"

"Okay fine kahit yung tayo-tayo lang, a small get together. For sure next week mabubusy na naman tayo kasi finals na. So, ano na? Game?"

"Game ako dyan." I seconded.

"Babe, game ka?"

"Fine."

"How about you Jerrick? Game ka?"

"Do I look like I have a choice?"

"Then it's decided na, babe call Sha and inform her about this."

Claire get her phone from her bag and called Sharon.

"How about, Gab? Shouldn't we also invite her?"

"Galit sa'min yun Chris, hindi nga kami kinakausap for sure hindi yun dadalo."

"Pero at least i-invite pa rin natin siya, baka mas lalong magtampo at magalit sa inyo yun."

"I'll talk to her." volunteer ni Jerrick. "Maybe she'll listen to me. I'll try to convince her also to forgive Sharon na."

"Goodluck with that."

Tumayo bigla si Claire na ikinagulat naming lahat. "Excuse me, lang may pupuntahan lang ako ahhh. Emergency lang kasi."

"Babe i'll go with you."

"Huwag na babe. You still have classes pa. Sige bye." at tumakbo na siya paalis.

"Yan na naman siya, why do I get this feeling na may tinatago na naman siya sa'kin."

"Come on Jay stop it with your doubts already. Remind you, that's the reason of your recent fight."

"Tama si Jerrick, Jay. Kakaayos niyo lang di ba. Girlfriend mo siya, at least trust her naman."

He suddenly stood up and Jerrick blocked him. "Where are you going? Susundan mo naman siya then she'll eventually think that you don't trust and for the second time around she'll think that you're accusing her for cheating. Tapos LQ na naman kayo. Same cycle Jay, you should learn din from time to time."

Umupo ulit si Jay. "I can't help it. Lately kasi I could sense that she's hiding something from me. Can't blame me though sa tagal na namin, kilalang-kilala ko na siya."

"Relationship is build on trust at least try to put that on your head."

"Oo na Jerrick, hindi ko na siya susundan. Susundin na kita sir, kahit sa ating dalawa ikaw tung single, pero susunod pa rin ako. Ohh.. happy na tayo?"

"That's more like it. So tuloy pa rin ba tayo ngayong gabi? Ako na bahala sa foods." pledge ni Jerrick.

Jay raised his hands. "Of course ako sa maiinum."
