Sweetheart Tweetums (25)

Chapter 25 - Till My Heartaches End

"Omg, sino siya?"

"Who is she? Girlfriend ba ni Steven yan?"

"Ang payat niya!! Sino kaya siya?"

The cheers were replaced by murmurs. But Zai chose to remain silent.

"Hello everyone! I'm Bianca." She said and gave a pleasing smile that made people stop from murmuring. "This is my first time performing here in Clover and I'm happy I am doing it with Steven. I want you guys to enjoy!" And the music started playing.

I recall when you said that you would never leave me

You told me more, so much more like when the time you whispered in my ear

There was heaven in my heart

I remember when you said that you’d be here forever

"Sweet."

May biglang boses na nagsalita galing sa likod ni Zai.

"Sav, bakit ka late?" Bailey asked Sav who's focused on the stage.

"Ssshhh, look at them." Sav pointed his lips forward.

I was afraid this time would come

I wasn’t prepared to face this kind of hurtin’ from within

I have learned to live my life beside you

Maybe I’ll just dream of you tonight

And if into my dream you’ll come and touch me once again

I’ll just keep on dreaming till my heartaches end

"I know, parang close na close nga sila eh." And Bailey brought her phone out and started recording the performance.

"Bakit mo nirerecord?" Sav asked.

"I will torture Zairene with this. Nako! Kailangan na niyang bumalik sa katawan niya."

"Lol. Whatever."

Sa canteen ng middle school.

"Oh pre, ano na plano? Natanong mo na ba?" Tanong ni Keith kay Martin habang kumakain ng cereals.

"Oo, basta kahit anong Parokya nalang." Iritableng sagot ni Martin.

"Ano bang pinuputok ng butsi mo ha? Bakit parang inis na inis ka?" Sabay subo ni Keith ng cereal. "Kanina ka pa ha!"

"Pinagtitinginan kasi tayo! Tignan mo nga, tayong dalawa lang high school dito. Tas magkasama pa sa iisang table. Baliw ka ba? Bakit kasi dito mo pa naisipan makipagkita? Kita nang naiiba tayo dito. Tayo lang malaki."

"Ano 'to, date? Ulol." And Keith raised his middle finger.

"Bahala ka nga dyan! Di na kita tuturuan! Puta mukha tayong bading." At tumayo na si Martin sa kinauupuan niya.

"Hoy Martin ang arte mo!"

"Maarte na kung maarte!! Ako na lang bibili ng Les Paul ko."

Bigla naman nabago ang mood ni Keith dun. "Seryoso? Di na ako bibili ng 152k na gitara na yun?"

"Oo pakyu. Basta wala ng turo-turo! Magsariling sikap ka nalang."

And with that, Martin left. Leaving Keith, all by himself this time.

Zai just stood there bewildered of the things happening around her. She can't resist herself from hurting. Who the eff is this Bianca? She is.... flirty.
