Will You Ever Notice? (Bad Girls Series #2)

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Lael Lozoya:
Hi, Ma'am. 
I just got home.

I bit my finger as I stared at Lael's message for me, hesitating about what I should reply back. Sa huli, I realized that I shouldn't be thinking about this too much. This is Lael, anyway. I should be comfortable.

Why am I feeling uncomfortable anyway?

Mabilis akong nag-type ng reply. It was a simple 'good'. Ano pa ba ang kailangan kong sabihin? 

But of course, Lael would reply something goofy.

Lael Lozoya:
Hindi very good? :((

I hissed and rolled my eyes, not able to contain my forming smile. He really knows how to lighten up atmospheres, huh?

Magre-reply na sana ako sa kan'ya pero dumating ang panibagong message ni Lael. 

Lael Lozoya:
09770000000
Here's my number. 
Para kapag hindi ako online, you can still contact me.
Very good? 

I rolled my eyes. 

Zenica Alameda:
Thanks.
Kahit hindi ko hiningi?

Lael Lozoya:
Ouch. 
Hahaha.
Kumain ka na?

Zenica Alameda:
Busog pa.

Lael Lozoya:
Nakadalawang kanin ka nga pala.

Talaga bang ipang-aasar n'ya sa'kin 'yon?

Zenica Alameda:
LAEL!!!

Lael Lozoya:
Joke lang, Zen. 
Hahaha.

Magre-reply na sana ako pero naudlot ang pagtitipa ko nang makatanggap ako ng message galing kay Seve. Agad na nawala ang ngiti ko at napa-isip bago tuluyang binuksan ang message n'ya.

Seve:
Hindi ka na naman nagpakita kanina.
Zen, I thought we've already talked about this?
Are you still upset with me?

I'm not upset with him. I just feel tired and empty these days... and maybe, having new friends helped me cope up. With Caleb and Lael, I feel more alive these days, that's why I want to spend time with them. 

Napabuntong-hininga ako. What should I tell Seve? Na pakiramdam ko, nauubos ako kapag kasama sila? He'd get really sad and upset. I don't want that.

I'm mean to other people... but I just can't help but care for those who are close to me. Pahinga lang naman mula sa kan'ya ang hinahanap ko. Babalik din naman ako... tulad ng dati. 

Zenica:
I didn't want to eat, Sev.

Seve:
You could've told me.
Pinuntahan na lang sana kita sa room mo.
I miss you. 
Don't you miss me? Or are you still mad at me?
Zen, I have no girls anymore. Ikaw lang.
