We're Only Getting Older (Change Series #1)

Chapter 08

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Sorry, Calynn. Sorry dahil nagselos ako, sorry dahil nakita ko kayo noong kasama mo sa debate, sorry dahil hindi ako nagtanong." he's not crying, but I can see the pain on his eyes. I don't know what to say.

"Sorry natakot lang naman ako, eh. Natakot ako sa sagot. Natakot ako na baka wala lang para sa iyo yung mga nangyari noong mga nakaraang linggo." I remained quiet. Sinong kasama ba iyong sinasabi niya? Si Chris?

"Are you talking about Chris?" I asked him.

"I don't know his name and I don't care." he answered, almost rolling his eyes. Such a cutie!

I can't help but to laugh.

"Nakakatawa ba?" he sounds so annoyed so I immediately stop.

"Sorry, eh, bakit ba? Ano bang ginawa sa 'yo ni Chris?" I pursed my lips, still trying to prevent my laugh.

"Nakita kong sinalo ka niya isang beses, nakita kong nagtatawanan kayo sa coffee shop tapos ang saya-saya mo pa. Ang saya-saya mo pa!" he rolled his eyes again.

I laughed again. All this time? That was the reason kung bakit hindi niya ako kinakausap? Ano ba 'yan! Bakit hindi siya nagtanong?

"Tigilan mo nga 'yang kakatawa mo." he said, getting seriously pissed. "It's not funny."

"Sorry na ulit. Why? Are you jealous?" I raised my brows.

"Paano kung oo?" he blatanty said, raising his brows too. I don't know what to say.

"W-why are you jealous?" I stuttered. Why the hell am I stuttering?

"Calynn, are you dense?"

I sighed heavily, I don't know how to deal with this.

"Calynn!" I heard someone's calling behind me. I looked at it and then I saw Chris, he is with Jessy.

"Chris!" I sounded so nervous because of Steve.

"Please, give me a minute, I'll get back to you." I told Steve before going to them.

I went to Chris and Jessy. "Why?" I asked him.

"Wanna go with us? Let's celebrate." Chris offered. I don't know if I should go. I looked at Steve, he is looking at us intensely. I don't know if this is the right decision, but...

"I'm sorry, guys. I have things to do, eh. Congrats to us!" I hugged them both.

When I went back to Steve, he looks different. Para siyang galit na malungkot na ewan.

"Yakap pa," he whispered.

"My God, Steve!" I wanted to laugh at him, he's so cute, but I know it will piss him off again.

"What?" he raised his brows.

"Steve, please! He's just my friend." I don't even know why I am explaining myself.

"You don't have to explain, Calynn. Ano mo ba ako?" he walked away. Pinanood ko lang siya habang lumalakad palayo sa akin.

After that conversation, I don't know if I should message him or ask him. I don't know what to do. I called the girls para damayan ako. Magkakavideo call kami.

(Type ka noon, manhid!) Lian said while laying down on her bed.

(Type mo ba?) Addie asked me. She's writing something on her notebook.

(Type niya 'yan.) Nat added, katabi pa niya 'yung kapatid niya. Cute!

"I don't know rin." I replied. Nakahiga lang ako sa kama ko.
