Those Eyes

Chapter Eight

JEMA

Today is sunday kaya pumunta ako sa Gym

Not even surprised na nakita ko si Ella dito sa gym

Iniiwasan ko kasi si Ella kasi ang daming tao na Ini issue kaming dalawa!

And I think, She likes someone

"Ay wow nagsalita yung na friendzone" rinig kong sambit ni Ella kay Tots

Tumatawa pa

"Uy hi Jema!" Tots waved at me nang makita ako

I just smiled at her and continued doing my exercise

Ella looked at me for a minute before placing her bag on the bench

Hindi ko sila pinansin at tsaka sinuot ang airpods para hindi ko sila marinig

After planking, Nag cool down na ako

Kinuha ko na ang airpods at tsaka ibinalik sa bag

"The hell" Inis na sabi ko nang makita kong ubos na ang tubig ko

"Oh" Napa lingon ako kay Ella nang abutan niya ako ng bottled water

She was standing so close to me kaya humakbang ako kaagad pa gilid para makalayo ng konti

Napa kunot naman ang noo niya

"No thanks" Sambit ko

Ignoring her offer kahit uhaw na uhaw na ako

Bumuntong hininga nalang si Ella at tsaka ibinaba ang kamay niya

"Galit ka ba sakin?" She gently asked

Napa lingon naman ako sakanya kaagad

Why would she ask me that?

I was just ignoring her naman!

"No" I shortly replied

Bat mo ako nilalayuan?" She asked

"hindi ah!" I replied and shortly laughed

Ella stepped forward kaya dali dali akong umatras

Her eyes stared at me for a moment

"Okay"Ella whispered

She turned her back against me

Kinuha ko na yung bag at towel ko para makapag shower na

After Taking a bath, I looked at ella again

I felt guilty for avoiding her suddenly

Kaibigan lang naman kami, diba?

OKAY FINE I'LL TALK TO HER

Lumapit naman ako sakanya

"H-hey" nauutal na sambit ki

"Ano?" masungit na sagot niya

"uhmmm" I stopped for a bit

Ella looked at me and raised her brows

"Breakfast?" Pag aaya ko

"Ayaw ko nga" Pag tanggi niya

My jaw dropped when she refused my offer

Did she just reject me?!

It was my first time asking her out for a breakfast tapos ganito mangyayari?

Inis akong umupo sa bench

I waited nalang for Ella

I'm sure she's playing hard to get!

I'll try for the second time, sana pumayag na siya

Kung ayaw niya pa rin, edi wag!

I'll just go and eat my salad alone

"Toti" I called tots

Napa lingon naman siya sa akin

She quickly went beside me

"Bakit ang annoying ng bestfriend mo?"Iritang tanong ko

"Huh? bakit, ano bang sinabi niya?" She laughed

"She rejected my offer to get breakfast!" I whined

"Gusto mong pumayag?" She asked

I smiled wide and nodded at her

She gave me a wait sign sign to get her towel

After that, Nagbihis na pala siya from the locker room

"Oh, saan ka punta? may schedule ka?" Ella asked

"Ah, mag bbreakfast lang kami ni Jemalyn" tots replied sabay akbay sakin

Ella's lips parted a little while staring at Toti's hand on my shoulders

Napa iling nalang siya

"Lol ayaw niya lalo eh"Bulong ko kay tots

"Wait mo lang" sagot niya while smirking

Inalis ko na ang pagka akbay ni Tots sakin at tsaka tumalikod

I fixed my things para maka alis na sa gym

Muntikan pa kaming magka bunggo ni Ella pag harap ko

"Ako unang inaya mo diba?" Ella said, raising her brow

"Ayaw mo eh" I replied

"Kaya ba iba nalang inaya mo?" She raised her brow

Bat ba ang seryoso niya masyado?

Bat parang ang laki ng kasalanan ko sakanya?

"tara na, jemalyn!" rinig kong sabi ni Tots

Malokong lumapit sa akin si tots while carrying her bag

"Sama ako" Ella said

"Ha?"Toti replied while scratching her head

"Sasama ako" Ella repeated in a serious tone

"Oh, akala ko ba ayaw mo? wag kana sumama ate ells mukha namang busy ka eh!" Naguguluhang sambit ni Tots

"Bakit ayaw mo?" She asked, while raising her brow

"Chill! Joke lang eh. Para mo naman akong susuntukin eh" Toti laughed

"San ka pupunta?" She asked

"May gagawin lang akong importante. Enjoy your breakfast!" Tots said and dali daling lumabas ng gym

Na iwan tuloy kaming dalawa!
