Stolen || COMPLETED

34

Days passed by really fast. Today's the last day of school and the squad decided to hang out. Of course, I couldn't say no to them especially when the manipulative Jared Clein Acosta is there.

"Come on, Icah! Relax!" Si Kesha. Kanina pa kasi ako kinakabahan. We're here inside a restaurant to eat and Caius wasn't here yet. I haven't seen him ever since I got shot. Iyon na ang huli at ang ideyang makita siyang muli ngayon ay talagang nakakakaba.

The food arrived already pero wala pa din siya. Where the hell is he?! Is he coming or not? Damn, I sounded like an impatient girlfriend waiting for his late boyfriend to arrive.

Natapos na kaming lahat sa pag-kain pero wala pa din siya!

"Hey," oh, there he is. "Sorry, late," he was panting and then that's when I noticed that he isn't alone. "Guys, Cindy. Cindy, my friends..." he introduced.

The girl beside him smiled brightly. Gosh, she's so pretty, I can't lie! Her face is small. Singkit ang mga mata niya at maliit na matangos ang kanyang ilong. Her lips were thin and reddish. Ang umaalon niyang buhok ay hanggang sa bewang. Her body is like a body of a model. I was like, edi wow.

"Hi!" She said energetically. She's all smile while me, I couldn't even move an inch. Everyone greeted her back and I am just here watching. I don't know how to react. Is she his new girlfriend?

And then our eyes met. Her lips parted like she was shocked to see me here. "Oh," she looked at Caius and then went back to me. "You must be Jeicah?"

Shocked that she knew me, I smiled. "Yeah. Hi. Cindy?"

"Yes, hi!" She even offered a hand! "Nice to mee you! Finally, oh god, you are so pretty!" She exclaimed.

Is that even true? I mean, I'm nothing compared to her beauty. Hala, ano bang nangyayari saakin?! Drop it, Jeicah. I think she's nice.

I accepted her hand. "Yeah, you too." I said.

"Ba't ngayon lang kayo?" Tanong ni Red. He and Dale seemed close to Cindy. Matagal na kaya nilang kilala ang isa't-isa?

"Oh, don't even get me started!" Cindy shook her head disapprovingly.

Dale laughed. "What happened?"

See? Outcast kaming tatlo nila Kesha at Lexie rito! Isa lang siya, tatlo kami pero wala. Damn, ano bang pinagsasasabi ko?

"This guy..." she hit Caius. "... is such a turtle! He is so slow. Daig niya pa ako. Akala ko nga nagmake up rin siya sa sobrang tagal niya!"

The guys laughed. Even Caius chuckled, his head was low like he's hiding from embarrassment or what. I stared at him for a while. I haven't seen him chuckle like that for a while now. Until he looked up and our eyes met. I looked away awkwardly.

"I wasn't slow. Sadyang excited ka lang kaya sobrang bilis mo gumalaw." Depensa ni Caius.

"Oh, really, huh? Kaya pala tapos na silang kumain nang makarating tayo." Sarkastikong sabi ni Cindy. Caius chuckled again.

He's happy. He's happy now. I should be happy for him instead of being so bitter. It was my fault anyway. I mean, not my fault, it's my decision. And I didn't regret it. Our breakup was good for the both of us. I fixed myself and he, he doesn't have to go against his mom anymore. I know it's hard for him because he loves his mom.

I sipped on my water, getting a bit teary. Stop it, Jei. Not now, please. Not in front of them. They just talked and talked until I decided to go first. Kesha and Lexie seems to like her vibe now because she's a good talker.

They all looked at me when I stood up. "Uh, I have an urgent errand to do so I'm going first. Enjoy guys, bye!" I said and walked away.

Madami pa akong kailangan asikasuhin. Susunduin ko pa sila Ate Blythe at Blake sa airport dahil nandito na naman sila sa Manila. They went here to help me arrange my papers for school transfer. Yes, lilipat ako ng Davao. And Ate's going to apply to Alonzo Group Construction. Gusto niya sa Davao para may kasama ako pero ayaw ni Papa.
