Bad Hearthrobs

Chapter 9

Riku's POV

I'm walking towards sa gate ng school until a guy approached me.

"Uhmm... excuse me. Can I ask you something?"

"Okay? What is it?"

"Do you know someone named Hazel?" Tanong niya. I'm pretty curious about this guy.

"Why? Do you know something about her?" Tanong ko pabalik sa lalaki.

"I'm Leonardo Reyes. Boyfriend niya." Leonardo Reyes. From what I know is, ex siya ni Hazel.

"May I know your name?" Sasagot na sana ako, kaso may tumawag kay Leonardo.

"Leo!" Lumingon kami which made me feel nervous.

I saw Irelynn approaching towards him.

"Leo! Hindi mo naman ako hinintay!"

"Sorry ate."

"Hi Riku! Did you miss me?" Sambit niya habang nakangisi. Now I'm gonna see that demon every single day.

"Riku?" Lumingon ako at nakita ko si Hazel na nanginginig sa takot.

Damn it! Baka kung ano pang gawin ni Leo sakanya!

"Cordelia! I missed you so much." Lalapit sana siya kay Hazel, pero tinulak siya palayo.

"Don't call me that name! Dahil wala na tayo Leo!" Sabi niya bago umalis.

"Don't worry Leo. Akong bahala sayo." Sabi ni Irelynn kay Leo bago sila umalis.

I didn't expect na dadating siya ngayon. All I know is within a few days, papasok na siya.

And I'm getting worried about the students here. Especially Hazel who just saw his abusive ex boyfriend.

I won't let Irelynn harm those students! And I won't let Leonardo hurt Hazel again!

Anakin's POV

I'm still here sa bench ng basketball court, waiting for Natalie.

"Did you miss me Anakin?" That voice... sobrang familiar. Lumingon ako...

"Irelynn."

"Yep. It's me baby!" Yayakapin niya sana ako, pero naglakad ako palayo sakanya.

"Anakin!" Sinundan niya ako, pero hindi ko siya pinapansin at nagpapatuloy ako sa paglalakad.

Come on Natalie... please show up!

"Anakin! Wag mo akong layuan please."

"Can you shut up Irelynn?! Sinasabi ko na sayo na wala akong feelings sayo!" Pagalit na sambit ko.

"Anakin--"

"I'm not into a psychopath like you!" Sumabat ako sa pagsalita niya at umalis ako sa harapan niya.

Nakarating ako sa canteen at yumuko ako para magpahinga ng onti.

"Anakin." A familiar voice came again. But this time, it's that voice I want to hear. Inangat ko yung ulo ko at si Natalie yung nakita ko.

Wow! I feel like I saw an angel. Ang ganda niya, and it made my heart skip a beat.

I had to admit, naging crush ko na si Natalie. I know we had a bad start, pero I'm starting to like her alot.

"Huy! Anakin! Natutulala ka nanaman!" Sambit niya habang pinitik ang noo ko.

"Ah. Sorry. Buti nakarating ka." Sabi ko habang nakangiti.

"Ewan ko sayo. Siya nga pala, bakit parang bad trip na bad trip ka? Dumating na ba yung Irelynn na yan?" Tanong niya saakin.

"Yep. Dumating na yung psychopath." Sambit ko na may seryosong tono.
