Here's the update! .,Chapter XVII [part two] There was silence in the car until we reach home. Hindi talaga namin natalo sa debate si Mama. Expert eh. I was feeling sleepy and tired. Haayyyy.. We reached home mga 1 na ng madaling araw. I went down the car and walked straight to my room. I lied down on my bed and closed my eyes. Kakapagod.. Hayy.. Nakkoooo.. Sana Monday na para makita ko na ulit si Hannah. Napahikab ako. I removed my sandals and fell asleep in an instant. [b]DARREN'S POV:[/b] I went to the kitchen to drink. Nababad trip ako kay Mama. Talagang ineemphasize niya na bawal kaming dalawa ni JJ. Bakit bawal? What's up with that? We are not blood related. I don't care what other people will say as long as masaya ako with JJ. I'm not being selfish or anything, in fact, iniisip ko 'to for our sake. I sighed. "What's up?" Kurt asked me from behind. I turned around. "You ask what's up?" I sarcastically said. Dadagdag ka pa e bad trip na 'ko. Wag kang epal. "Your heard everthing about what Mom said." I told him. "Yeah. I do. I'm against it too." "Of course you do." Tinago ko yung pitcher sa ref. "You feel the same way for her." He became serious. "You knew huh." "Since we're kids, I've known it." "But you feel the way too." he told me. I stared at him. "I do. So I consider you as a rival." "Sa totoo lang, okay lang naman sakin kahit kanino mapunta si Lianne e. Basta masaya siya. As long as I can see her happy with someone else, I'm contented. Pero siyempre, if she cries because of that someone else... Basta. Now that Troy Santos has appeared in her life, if she ever fell for him.. I'd accept it whole-heartedly. I hope you'll do the same thing and quit being a child and selfish." Aba, gusto ata nito ng sapakan ah. "Excuse me? I'm not a child. It's just that, I love her more than you do so I'm not giving her up." "Let her go, Darren. It's impossible for the both of you. Haven't you heard what Mom said?" Alam ko naman e. Alam kong imposible.. I walked to him and stared on his eyes. "I heard her. But I still won't give her up. 'Cause I ain't a coward like you." I told him and walked away. "Darren, are you challenging me? Do you want me to be your rival again?" I heard him ask. "Who cares? Don't ask me." I told him and successfully reached my room. I removed my coat and sat down on my bed. Ano ba yun.. Kakaasar naman.. Haayyy.. Bahala na nga! [b]JJ'S POV:[/b] Monday na. Tapos na yung break namin!! Yes! Pero may break nanaman ulit for sure e. Mag papasko na kasi.. "MORNING HANNAH!!" "LIANNE!!" We hugged each other. All of our classmates looked at us but who cares? Nyahaha! I sat down on my seat as well as she did. "Na miss kita best." sabi niya. I smiled sweetly. "Parang ako hindi ah." I told her. "So? Musta naman ang lovelife?" she asked. I paused for a moment. "What? Is anything wrong?" "Hindi. Hindi. Wala." I answered. She leered at me. "Meron kang hindi sinasabi sakin.. Ganyan ka na Lianne.." Ang cute talaga ni Hannah! "E kasi... E kasi sa tingin ko.. I'm falling for Darren.." "ANO?!" She yelled. Naman eh! All of our classmates looked at us. "Hannah!" "Hindi.. Joke yun..? Promise..?" She asked. I nodded. "Wow! Amazing! I'm so happy!" sabi niya. "Ano ba Hannah? This is a problem okay? Mom told us it's impossible.. Tsaka meron pang dumating na isang guy sa buhay ko..." "Sino?" "Si Troy." "T-Troy?" "Yeah. Troy Santos." She looked surprised. "Hannah? What's wrong?" I asked, She became red. "W-Wala.. -Ayan na si prof o!" She looked infront. I got suspicious. What's up with her? May mali.. Merong mali... Did they have a past? Could it be that she knows Troy? "Everyone, I would like to introduce new students. Troy and Christine Santos." They entered the room. Troy smiled at me. Christine glanced at Darren. Everyone's murmuring. I secretly glanced at Hannah. She's red. "I know that they'll be with us for only a short time, but I hope everyone would get along with then. So upon request, Ms. Santos will sit beside Darren De la Cruz.." "WHAT?" Darren uttered. "And Troy Santos beside Ms. Julianne." I stood up. "No, Sir. I have Hannah as my seatmate already." I said. "Lianne.." I heard Hannah whisper. "Hannah? Oh yeah." Troy said. "I'd just sit behind you, if that's fine, Ms. Lianne." He smiled at me. 'Hannah? Oh yeah.' What's with that? They definitely know each other!! I need to know what's their connection to each other! Pero bakit ganun? Parang si Hannah lang nakakakilala sa kanya? [b]What the heck is going on with them is what I need to know![/b]
