The Beautiful Encounter (College Series#1)|| ✔️

07

"Are you okay?"

It's been weeks after our little vacation
in Camaya.. Jarred and me didn't talk
after that happen. I expect him to call
me but he didn't. I tried to call him but
I end up texting him. Wala naman akong
ginawa sa kanya to make him angry at me.

He's just jealous.

"Earth to Krizza." Pinitik ni Leah ang noo
ko.

" What?" Inis kong sabi.

" Kanina kapa namin tinatanong. Okay
ka lang?" Worried na tanong sa'kin ni Camille.

" Nah. Confuse." Bumuntong hininga ako.
"I'm confused."

"About what?"

"About my feelings towards Jarred? Was I liked him?" Naguguluhan tanong ko.

"We don't know about your feelings,
Krizza. Ikaw lang ang makakasagot n'yan
sa sarili mo." Diretsang sabi ni Spee.

" Spee is right." Camille said.
"I already felt the tension between
you two inside of van last week. Wanna share?"

" He seemed jealous when I mentioned a
guy." I shrugged.

"He likes you," ngumiti siya.

" I don't this so. He never opened up his feeling to me." Umiling ako bago sila
iwan.

I just focus myself in studying. Not
minding him. Later, we're going to bar
para magparty-party. I need to get wasted.
Nagdala nalang ako ng damit. Doon nalang
ako magbibihis kila Camille para hindi
na ako umuwi sa bahay.

Nag pants nalang ako at tsaka nagsuot ng strapless bra. Nilagay ko muna yon jacket
ko sa bag. Maya ko pa yon gagamitin kapag malamig na. Uminom kaagad ako nang
makarating kami sa bar. Andaming tao
dun.. hindi ko kilala yon mga iba pero
may mga classmate din akong nakita doon.

"Woah!" Sigaw ni Leah habang sumasayaw. Nakatayo lang ako habang sinasamahan
siyang sumayaw sa dance floor. Inubos
ko yon isang basong alak na hawak ko.

Maya maya ay naiwan na ako sa dance floor
ng may humigit sa kanya pero hindi ako tumigil sa pag sayaw. Medyo blurry na
'yon mata ko pero nakikita ko parin ang paligid ko.

"Taena.." sinabunutan ko ang buhok ko.

Pabalik na sana ako sa table namin ng
mahagip ng mata ko si Jarred habang may kasamang siyang ibang babae. Not his
friend tho. They're making out on couch.

It tear me up! So, I decided to go to
bathroom. After what happen.. yan lang
pala ang makikita ko sa kanya. That was
the reason why can't even answer my
goddamn call! Such a waste of time!

"Let's talk."

Nagulat ako ng makita si Jarred sa labas.
I immediately change my expression.

"There's nothing to talk about,
Jarred."

"I know what you're thinking but, it's
not that." He frustrated said.

" You ghosted me for weeks, Jarred and
you came back like nothing really happen?
And it happened that I saw you here with others girls." I calmly said.
