Chapter 20 - Wrong Move

CHAPTER 20

WRONG MOVE

"Maybe you're just imagining things," Tiffany mumbled while applying some blush-on on her right cheek.

Kami lang ang tao ngayon dito sa CR kaya naikwento ko sa kanya lahat ng mga nangyari sa amin ni Zin. Hindi kasi kami nakapagdaldalan thru video call kahapon dahil natulog ako buong araw. I had a really bad hangover from the after-party.

Tapos kanina, sunod-sunod ang mga recitation, quizzes at seatworks namin. We were so busy. Nung break time naman, sinundo ako ng Mom ko para mag-lunch out kami. She said she feels lonely for not having Dad around. Natawa na nga lang ako dahil ganyan talaga si Mama. Kapag nandito ang father ko ay hindi naman sila nalabas dahil parehas silang busy sa trabaho pero kapag nasa ibang bansa na ito ay doon niya nami-miss.

I guess sometimes, love will make you weird.

Sumandal ako sa pader at umiling. "And why will I imagine Zin groping me, huh?" I instantly flinched at the flashback that entered my mind. Geez, did I really allow him to grab my butt? Argh!

"I don't know. Why are you asking me? Malay ko ba sa feelings mo," pagtawa niya sabay lagay naman ng blush on sa kaliwang pisngi niya.

"Feelings ka diyan? Pinagsasasabi mo?" I sat at the sink and waited for her to finish putting some makeup on her face.

"Teh, hindi ka magi-imagine na hinawakan ni Zin ang panty mo kung wala kang nararamdaman sa kanya, okay?" asar niya.

Tinignan ko siya lalo ng masama. "Hindi nga kasi imagination 'yon. It's real!"

She raised an eyebrow. "If it's real, then why would you be turned on? Kung talagang kaibigan lang ang tingin mo sa kanya, bakit mo siya hahayaang hawakan ka do'n? Hindi ba dapat masusuka ka at mandidiri? Sorry for the word but he almost fingered you and you liked it."

I crossed my arms and frowned. "Si KENJI ZIN ROMERO, MAGUGUSTUHAN KO?! You, out of all the people, should know how much I despise him."

Ngumiti siya at naglagay naman ng red lipstick. "Are you telling me you were just horny that night? Kasi hindi ako maniniwalang walang kasamang feelings 'yon. I know you, Caylee. Hindi ka katulad ni Naomi na liberated. Hindi ka basta basta magpapahawak sa lalakeng hindi mo gusto."

"I can't just like a guy I hate, out of the blue. Nandidiri kaya ako sa kanya---"

"But ever since he started flirting with you, ikaw na mismong nagsabi na bumibilis tibok ng puso mo sa kanya, something you have only felt when you were dating Aaron." Napatitig na lang ako sa bestfriend ko. This is so frustrating. "Stop being so in denial and think about it for a second. Maybe you're attracted to him, you just don't want to admit it."

I let out a sigh. I shouldn't be stressing about this.

Today is Naomi's birthday and I should be focusing on that. She's been sulky all day since no one greeted her. Ang hindi niya alam, sinadya naming lahat 'yon. We told everyone in the school to pretend that we forgot her special day. Later when she gets home, she'll be surprised to see all of us there.

Sila Ava na ang nagplano ng lahat. They talked to Naomi's Mom and contacted an event planner. At kahit na isang araw pa lamang ang lumipas mula ng magka-hangover kaming lahat from the after-party ay ready kami to celebrate our friend's birthday later.
