"I Wanted You"

CHAPTER 3 "Heart Pounding? It beats louder when you cover your ears!"

Chapter 3 "Heart Pounding? It beats louder when you cover your ears!"

This is it the day of the camping and there is this nervousness inside of me that I couldn't explain. Am I really excited? Am I worried? I really don't know why I am feeling this way. Ah what to do? What to do? Oh my God. After I prayed to a lot of things, looking outside the window this midnight was really scary then a big shout is what I heard which my heart might got an attack.

"Hey! Cris!" I heard the loud sound outside and saw my group in the camp excitedly having their things ride in Zach's car; they decided to ride one car going to the camp venue so that it will be convenient for us to be comfortable before the headed tasks.

"Cris! Faster and get yourself here. We might get late for the general assembly." Zach excitedly shouted.

In front of the gate was my Mom waiting for me and should be the one taking me to the camp site before the group decided such thing.

"Ah, Darling. Take care to the camp and enjoy I will miss you a lot." Mom said.

"Hello Mrs. Thompson, don't worry this will be a great camping experience." – Zach greeted my Mom.

"Oh, hello I guess you are the new neighbor here please take good care of my darling she was a bit..."

"Good morning! Sorry I'm late" Andrew butt in even before my mom finish her statement and was a bit shock that Drew was my in my group. Andrew also a bit shocked and just kissed my mother with respect and greetings.

"Ah. Hello. Good day and take care guys my girl is a bit clumsy so take care of her." Simply joke by my Mom.

You can see again the face of Zach in curiosity after seeing my Mom face when he sees us in the café the same expression he saw with the four of us. I think there's something in his mind asking who Andrew is in our lives. While preparing to go, we chose which place in the van we are sitting and of course Bella sits beside Andrew and Jason beside Sandra which all of them wanted to be in the front part of the van. I sat at the back part and plugged my headset on and close my eyes but suddenly I felt someone sat beside me. It was Zach who doesn't want to sit at the front part of the car and be like a father who will send his children into their fieldtrip.

"Hi!" – Zach

"Oh?"

"Pwede ba dito? Mukha akong tatay sa harap na dadalhin ang mga anak sa fieldtrip nila" –Zach

"Haha. Oo sige. Natawa naman ako sayo" I happily told him.

"Matutulog ka ba?" – Zach

"Huh? Ano?" I asked.

"Pwede ba akong makisali sa headphones mo? Nakalimutan ko kase dalhin yung sa akin e matutulog kase muna ako di ako nakatulog ng maayos" – Zach

"Baket naman? Are you that excited for the camping? Diba second time mo na to?"

"Yes. Excited kase ako na makasama ka" – Zach said seriously.

"Uh?" I was really speechless and I don't know what to do. I just plugged my headphones on and made the volume to its max. My heart really beats fast and felt the awkwardness but he suddenly takes off one of my earphones and said...

"I said, pahiram ng isa. Ikaw mukhang kabado ka sa camping sabagay freshman ka pa."

"Ah. Oo sige tulog muna ako..." I was stuttering and cannot speak much longer so I just slept from shyness.

'Zach and Andrew Part'

Looking at Cris while she sleeps and just asking his self, Cris what is it in you? Who really are you? Who are you in life of Drew? Why am I so interested with you? Why am I always excited to see you? Isn't it funny that we just met? Am I crazy for talking to myself? Those are the questions that Zach asks himself.
