Oohhhh. thanks so much guys. here's the update as promised. [b] ♥ 8.1 ♥[/b] Chiles > Kent > Ako > PJ Ganyan yung upo namin. Ewan ko kung bakit ganyan, buti na lang hindi na dumikit pa si Chiles kay PJ, but I saw her expression that she was kinda disappointed or something. Napasulyap ako ulit kay Kent. Err. Panu ko ba sasabihin sakanya? Napakagat labi ko. Pero teka, won’t it be good enough… If Chiles runs back to him. Tama. At least, everything will be okay na. Magiging masaya na si Kent despite the fact that Chiles will be using him after all. I gulped, parang sumisikip ang dibdib ko after I imagined how they’ll look like. Err. This is just so annoying. Nainlove ka pa kasi Ches… At sa maling tao pa. I glanced at Kent again whose eyes were focused on screen. Even though ganun nga ang gagawin ni Chiles, knowing Kent will be happy. Napapikit ako. I’ll just keep silent. “Ches, want some?” Inalok ako ni PJ ng pop corn. Tumango ako tapos kumuha na rin. Baka mabawasan ng konti yung hinanaing ko. Nagsimula na yung film. ‘Cop out’ siya. Comedy. Kain lang ako lagi. “Ang ingay mo ngumuya.” Bulong ni Kent. “Tsk. Pakielam mo.” I replied na pabulong din. “Talk to Chiles, wag ako ang kausapin mo. Gets?” Inirapan niya ako, inirapan ko rin siya. Nakasimangot na siya e. Anu kayang drama nito ngayun? Kumukuha ako ng popcorn kay PJ tapos pinatong ko yung braso ko sa mga hawakan, e andun pala yung sakanya. Hehe. Nahulog. “Ay sorry.” Tapos nagkatawanan kaming dalawa kasi binalik niya yung sakanya tapos yung braso ko naman yung nahulog. “Ay sorry din.” Soft laughter. “Ang ingay.” Sabi nung snaberong katabi ko sabay clicked his tongue. I glared at him. Bakit nakikielam ‘to? -- Tawa ako nang tawa run sa film, pero inantok rin ako maya maya. I admit, it was a tiring night last night kasi hindi ako nakatulog nang maayos, buti na lang ala akong eyebag. Napapapikit pikit na ako, and finally, it was a chance to sleep. KENT’s POV: I’ve been thinking a lot these past few days. Naguguluhan na ako sa sarili ko. I’m right here with the girl I LIKE. But all I think about… Is this Cheska. This is getting friggin annoying kasi lagi silang dalawa ni PJ. Oo, nararamdaman ko na iniiwasan niya ako nung nakaraang araw, at nasaktan ako. I don’t know, but it pains just to know that Cheska hates me or something like that. It pains me to see her with PJ. It pains me to see her laugh and smile because of someone else. I don’t know anymore. Nasasaktan din ako everytime she tells me some things about going to Chiles. It seemed like she’s pushing me away. Am I the only one who feels like this again? Ang saket. Bakit ganito? Napasulyap ako sakanya, Chiles was busy watching the film and eating on her own. Ewan ko, parang wapakels ako e. Cheska was like dozing off. Natawa ako, nahihirapan ata siya matulog. I gulped. It’s okay, we’re friends right? But when I was about to lean her head on my shoulder, bigla siyang napamulat. I was surprised kaya napaubo ako. Pinagtinginan ako, nakakahiya siyempre. Err. Ano ba ‘tong babaeng ito. “O, okay ka lang?” Chiles asked me. “Y-Yeah.” Tiningnan din ako ni Cheska. “Anu nang nangyari?” She asked. “Ewan ko, tutulog tulog ka kasi diyan e.” Tsk. Kaasar. CHESKA’s POV: Napahikab ulit ako habang naglalakad kami papuntang resto. “Okay ka lang ba?” PJ asked me. Tumango ako. “Oo, medyo kulang lang ako sa tulog.” “Dapat magpahinga ka.” Tumawa lang ako. “Medyo nagreview rin kasi ako kagabi.” “Review… Tsk.” Si Kent. Nasa likod namin silang dalawa ni Chiles. Hindi ko na lang pinansin. Bakit kaya parang ang epal niya ata ngayon? We entered McDo. Umupo kami medyo malayu-layo sa counter. “Ako na mag oorder.” PJ said. “Sama ako.” Chiles insisted. So she was still gonna run after PJ. What difference does that make? Tsk. Sinabi na naming yung mga orders naming tapos umalis na sila. Natahimik lang kami ni Kent. Pinagtripan ko na lang yung cp ko. Ewan ko, I feel awkward again. Tss. “S-So, kamusta naman, naka the move ka pa sa sinehan?” I asked. He clicked his tongue. “Wala ka na bang ibubukas na topic kundi tungkol kay Chiles?” Parang naiiritang sabi niya, na ikinagulat ko. “Ha? What do you mean?” “Wala.” “Teka, ayaw mo ba na tulungan pa kita?” I asked him. He stared at me in the eyes. “I don’t know, but can you stop talking about her?” Mukhang asar na asar na talaga siya. Medyo napangiti ako nang palihim. Does this mean that he… -- Wait. “Kent, will it be possible… That you don’t love her anymore?” He scoffed, parang nagulat din siya, tapos napatingin siya sakin. “W-What?” “Curious lang, kasi parang… Ano e.” Napayuko siya, napatitig ako sakanya. Waiting for him to answer, then he raised his head and he looked at me. “Siguro nga.” “Kent—” Then dumating na sila PJ. Arrgh. Wrong timing. -- Humilata ako sa kama. What a day. I looked at my cellphone, there was a text message from Kent. E1 q, Ches. Nd q alam qng c Chiles p rin, 2lungn m qng alamn qng anu na ha? I reddened so suddenly. Ano ba ‘to? I’m getting thrilled. Natakpan ko yung mukha ko nang unan. Ano ba, wala pa naman siyang sinasabi e, pero bakit nagkakaganito na ako? WAAHHH! – And PJ. I gulped, tapos napaupo ako. What will happen to him kung etong iniimagine ko e… E mangyari? -- “Morning.” Binati ako ni Kent. Ngumiti lang ako tapos umupo. Pagktapos kong mag-isip nang mag-isip kagabi, hindi na ako nakatulog. “Haggard ka na ah.” “A-Ah… Oo e.” “Did you receive my text?” Tumango ako. Ngumiti lang siya. “What do you think?” “Malay ko sayo. Hay, bahala na. Marami pa rin akong iniisip e…” I replied then I flipped the pages of my History book, oo, nakalimutan kong gawin yung homework. Grr. “Sabay tayo kaen mamaya ah.” “A-Ah, may usapan na kasi kami ni PJ e, next time na lang.” He cleared his throat. “Tell me straight, Ches. Kayo na ba?” “Bakit mo naman natanong yan?” I continued doing my homework. “Sagot na lang.” “Mamaya na, may ginagawa pa ako.” I said. He suddenly closed my book. “Kent!” “Kayo nab a ni PJ, or MU?” Napalunok ako. “Bakit mo ba tinatanong? Wag mo na ngang pakielaman pa yun. Tsk.” “Why can’t you answer?” “Because I don’t need to answer your question.” “You need to.” “At bakit?” We stared at each other. “Will it change anything kung sasagutin ko man yan?” Napayuko siya, halatang naasar. Naasar din ako sakanya e. Nadumihan kasi yung libro ko. Tss. Tsaka bakit ba siya curious.. -- KENT’s POV: “PJ.” I entered the SC room, alam ko kasing andun si PJ ngayun, si Cheska aman nasa library ata e. “O, Kent.” I walked towards him, medyo nagulat ata siya sa aking sudden appearance. “Ano yun-?” “What’s going on between you and Cheska?” I asked. Napatayo siya. “Bakit mo natanong?” “Sagutin niyo na lang, pwede? Kayo na ba?’ He grinned. “Hindi pa, bakit ba?” “Hindi PA?” He nodded. “I don’t know kung nabanggit na sayo ni Cheska, but I already confessed to her.” Nagulat ako, I was suddenly furious, na hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit. “Bakit ganyan ang reaksyon mo, don’t you like Chiles? Cheska said that nothing’s going on with you and she was just helping you out to get Chiles.” He grinned again. “I’ll be willing to help you too.” I got my fists, clenched. “Forget it.” I said and walked out. I’m being weird. Bakit ba nagagalit ako sa tuwing maiisip ko na sila PJ at Cheska… Tsk. -- I was ony my way out of the school gate, pero natigilan lang ako, and my feelings suddenly overflowed. I had sharp chest pains. PJ and Cheska were together again. [i][b]What does Cheska really mean to me?[/b][/i]
