"How about you Voughn, when are you planning to have a boyfriend?" Nang-aasar na tanong no dad.
"Tito hindi ako bakla! Tsaka bata pa ako no!" Pag-iinarte ni Voughn sabay yakap sa katawan n'ya. Siraulo talaga!
Natawa naman si mom sa kanya. "So your not planning to have a girlfriend yet?" Mom asked.
"I don't know, i haven't thought about it tita." Voughn replayed.
"But you have someone you like?" This time it was dad who asked him.
"Yeah, but she's not allowed to have a boyfriend yet." My brows arch when i heard his reply.
"Oh so it's the same with Adella huh?" Voughn looked at me and smirked. He turned to dad and nod.
"Yes Tito, but I'm willing to wait though!" He said and shrugged his shoulders.
"What a gentleman. You know what, i like you for my Adella because you're always there for her. Pero sabi mo nga you like someone else and i respect that, i hope the girl will give you a chance. You deserve to be happy Voughn." May mom said. Ako din mommy gusto ko rin si Voughn.
"Mom! I don't like him!" What a lie.
"And he don't like you too, sweety." Mom argued. Nahiya tuloy ako dahil doon sa sinabi ni mom! Tsk totoo naman eh, wala naman talaga siyang gusto sa akin. Dahil ako lang yung may gusto sa kanya. Ouch.
Narinig ko naman ang tawa ni Dad at ni Voughn! Pinagtulungan pa talaga nila ako ah!
I finished my food and get up to kiss my mom and dad's cheeks so that i can go to school na. Hindi ko na hinintay si Voughn na matapos kumain kahit tinatawag nita ang pangalan ko. Nahihiya kasi ako sa sinabi ni mom kanina. Baka mag-assume sya na may gusto ako sa'kanya dahil sa sinabi ni mom kahit wala naman!
I get inside to the backseat of the car and told my driver to drive already because i don't want Voughn to join with me. As expected he didn't agree, kasi kabilin-bilinan ni daddy na hindi dapat ako pupunta ng mag-isa sa school pag pupunta dito si Voughn sa bahay every morning. To make the sentence short, we should go to the school together! Tsk, nakakainis naman!
Kaya umupo nalang ako doon habang hinihintay si Voughn. Bakit ang tagal n'ya?
Magrereklamo na sana ako sa driver ko ng bumukas ang pintuan ng kotse at agad na man siyang pumasok at umupo sa tabi ko.
"Good morning kuya Kael!"
"Good morning din Voughn! Kumusta ka? Nag-away ba kayo ni Adella?" Tanong ni kuya Kael kaya napaupo ako ng maayos at tumingin sa ibang dereksyon. Ang awkward naman nito!
"I'm fine po and no, we didn't fight. Why did you suddenly ask that kuya?"
"Ayaw ka kasi sanang pasabayin ni ma'am eh! Kaya nag conclude ako na baka nag-away kayo!"
Voughn's brows arch and look at me with confusion in his eyes."Did we fight, Adella?" Halos mabali na ang leeg ko sa pagtanggi! "Words, Adella words." Madiin n'yang sabi.
"No Voughn." I said.
"Do we have a problem?" Tanong nya muli.
"Why would we have a problem?" I said while looking to him.
"Yeah why would we?" Hindi talaga sya nagpapatalo kaya i just looked away feeling guilty. Feeling guilty for what? I don't know though.
Narinig ko ang pagtikhim ni kuya Kael at ang pagbuntong hininga ni Voughn pero hindi ko nalang iyon pinansin at inabala nalang ang sarili ko sa notes ko dahil may test kami mamaya.
Nang makarating kami sa school ay agad akong pinagbuksan ng pinto ni Voughn at inalayan pa n'ya ako pababa. Hinatid pa n'ya ako sa classroom ko.
"We'll talk later." He said before he left.
I just shrug my shoulder before i enter the classroom and look for Jen. I want to tell her what happened yesterday sa gym noong nakipagkaibigan ako kay Alvarez.
I couldn't find Jen so i just go to my table and decided to wait for her. Siguro late na naman yon. I was busy reading my notes when someone interrupted me. The person that interrupt me of what was i doing is trying to get my attention by getting my notes out of my hand! What a jerk!
I get up from my seat and face the jerk!
Tsk! Si Alvarez lang pala. This dumbass really!
"What do you want?" I coldly said.
"Hay, I thought you're a deft." Did he just... insult me? Wow! Agad ko siyang binatukan.
"Give me back my notes, asshole!"
"Ayoko nga! Inaway mo'ko eh!" Pag-iinarte n'ya pa! Benelatan pa niya ako! Aba!
"Arte mo! Give it back! I'm studying!"
"Wala ako pake!" He's pissing me off!
"Really?" I said while grinning. My savior is here! I giggle. Voughn grab him and take my notes out of his hand.
