My Kuya's Bestfriend (Book 1) (Editing)

Chapter 9: Assume

Ash's POV

"Bye guys!" Paalam ko sa mga ka-teammate ko nang matapos akong magshower. Isa kasi akong varsity ng volleyball team ng school namin at katatapos lang ng dalawang oras na pag-eensayo. Gusto pa sana nila akong kasuapin pero nagmamadali na akong umalis.

I checked the time in my wristwatch while running. Oh shoot! I only have three minutes before his class ends. Baka hindi ko maabutan 'yon. May pagkasuplado pa naman ang isang 'yon.

I dont know what's with me these past few weeks. I do things I don't normally do when it comes to Trey. Or maybe I'm just longing for a sibling. Nag-iisang anak lang kasi ako kaya gusto kong maranasan ang magkaroon ng kapatid.

Terrence asked a favor as well because his car is still in the shop. Looks like his new girl made a huge damage. Ayaw niya rin kasing pagtaksihin ang kapatid niya.

Ilang araw ko na ring sinusundo si Trey at walang araw na hindi kami nagbabangayan. Most of the time, hindi ko na pinapatulan. I want to have a normal conversation with him. Make up for the years I just wasted for teasing him. But the problem now is he don't take me seriously even if I apologized for so many times now. Hanggang ngayon akala niya nagbibiro pa rin ako o inaasar siya. Hindi na siya naniniwala sa akin. Well, it's all of my fault.

Pagkadating na pagkadating ko sa parking lot, pinaandar ko na agad ang
kotse at pinaharurot paalis. Sana hindi ako maabutan ng rush hour.

Terrence should let Trey try to commute or figure out on how to go home by himself. I'm sure marunong naman ang isang 'yon. He look kind of independent also. Kaso, over protective si Terrence pagdating sa kapatid niya.

Trey is not a girl but there is something with him that need to be protected. Siguro kung may kapatid ako babae o lalake man, I will do the same thing as well. Delikado na rin kasi sa panahon ngayon. Safety is a must.

Good thing it's still not traffic when I leave my school. Malapit lang din naman ang school niya sa akin kaya mabilis akong nakarating doon. I saw him standing at the waiting shed with the other students. I smile but suddenly fade away when I recognize the guy standing next to him.

Talagang hindi nadala sa pananakot ko last time. Patay talaga sa akin ang bansot na 'yan.

"Hi babe!"

Pareho silang napatingin sa akin. Lumapit ako sa tabi ni Trey sabay akbay. Nakita ko ang pagkagulat sa kanyang mukha. He look so cute by doing that. So I did not stop myself for giving him a peck on his cheeks. My intrusive thought wins.

Kahit naman din ako nagulat sa sarili. Pero bahala na. I already did it so I will just play along. I kind of like it anyway. Isa pa't para tumigil na rin sa panggugulo itong bansot na katabi niya.

"A—Anong ginawa mo?" Gulat na tanong ni Trey.

"I'm you're boyfriend. So I think I'm allowed to do it, right?" Makahulugang tingin ang binigay ko sa kanya. Sana makuha niya ang ibig kong ipahiwatig.

"Y—You're not my boyfriend."

Napabuntong-hininga ako sa isipan dahil sa naging sagot niya. So he did not get it.

"Yes, I am." Giit ko at ibinaling ang tingin sa katabi niya na ngayon bakas sa mukha ang pagkainis.

"Anong ginagawa mo kay Trey? Are you  going to bully him again. Didn't I warned you last time?"

"I did not do anything to him." Pagtanggi nito. "At wala ako naman akong balak na masama sa kanya. Atsaka nililigawan ko siya."

Napakuyom ako ng kamay. Anong nililigawan niya si Trey? Paanong nangyari na binubully niya ito tapos nililigawan?
