Chasing Hearts

Chapter 10

"Gab, let's meet up at the coffee shop. Doon na din tayo mag discuss ng activity natin " I told Gabriel to make sure he nodded to what I said

Bumugtong huminga muna ako at binagsak ang sarili ko sa kama habang nag iisip ng malalim. Am I a bad person for them to just leave me?

Kamusta na kaya si Sean? Earlier I wanted to talk to him but he was avoiding me when I approached him this afternoon. Nahiya ako sarili ko! Ano ba ang nangyari saakin? Why do I suddenly feel that Sean is bad or rude?

I just shook my head to make sure I was asleep so I wouldn't be sleepy tomorrow. Pag pumuyat kasi ako ay inaantok ako kapag whole pa yong class namin

I woke up when I heard the alarm on my side, so I got up and took a shower. Even before I left the house, I saw that mom was there in the kitchen cooking so I slowly walked out of the house. Maaga pa kaya alam ko magagalit yan saakin kong walang kwenta naman yong pupuntahan ko at isa pa wala namn class ngayon

I arrived at the coffee shop when I saw Gabriel sitting there with a coffee on his table and a laptop on the coffee next to him. Pumasok na ako doon tiyaka umupo na kaharap sakanya. Kulang pa isa saamin ngunit wala na kaming mahanap na Isang partner

" oh good morning. Order your coffee now " He said smiling at me. I just shook my head dahil wala akong gana uminom ng kape sa ganitong oras ng umaga

"Have you had breakfast yet? It looks like you haven't. Would you like me to order something for you to have breakfast?" He said while looking at me softly

Bumuntong hininga ako bago ako sumagot " hindi na, kailangan ko na itong tapusin para wala na tayong activity pa " He nodded at what I said and didn't say a word

It took us two hours here at the coffee shop but it wasn't over yet because we were making questions and practicing for our explanations! MAPEH pa ba ito? Kasi sa ganitong grade level wala na eh!

Muntik ko na maiboga ang nakain kong sandwich ng makita ko si Sean pumasok dito sa coffee shop habang nakasuot sya ng eyeglasses niya. He went straight towards me and Gabriel and immediately sat down in front of us

" oy bro, ba't ngayon ka lang dumating? We've been here for a while! " Gabriel pretended to be annoyed with him but Sean just shook his head

I felt awkward now because I could hardly eat the sandwich inside my mouth. Bakit ba sya nandito? Partner ba namin sya?

" cr muna ako Gab " I said  so I immediately got up to go to the bathroom. I almost want to throw up the food I just had in my mouth. What is wrong with Sean? Why do I feel this towards him?

Hindi naman mukang nakakadiri si Sean pero halos susuka na ako doon sa harap nila! Nakakahiya talaga

I calmed myself down and slightly looked in the mirror when I saw my haggard face. Nag lagay naman ako ng blush on kanina pero ba't ngayon parang muka na akong patay na nabuhay sa kabaong?

I shook my head then left the bathroom and went straight to their table earlier. I sat next to Gabriel in silence. Nag e-explain silang dalawa about sa activity namit ngunit ako naman ay nakikinig lang sakanila. Parang walang ambag pa

While Gabriel was discussing, I couldn't help but look at him. His explanation is perfect and his pronunciation is also good, mixed with half British

" Excuse, cr din muna ako " I looked at Sean when he spoke

Tumango lang si Gabriel kaya kagad na lumakad si Sean. I peeked at him before I talked to Gabriel

I was about to talk to him but he took me ahead " tahimik ninyo ni Sean ah, nag aaway ba kayo? "
