My Highschool Lovelife

Chapter VIII: The Chase Around Town

Last time, nagkita sina Diana at Akino Lu Tsunea, isang babae na nagmistulang galing sa anime. Nang pumunta sila sa paaralan 'kahapon', nagselos si Diana kay Akino, showing her love and affection to Jerry. Nang inagaw ulit ni Diana, si Akino ay naging laser-shooting disintegrator. Find out what happens next here.

Hinabol ni Akino si Diana papunta sa parke. Diana dodged all of Akino's shots. They disintegrated a tree, lamppost, at marami pang iba.

Ang beach ang susunod nilang napuntahan. They also disintegrated a few trees over there. Manalangin na kayo na hindi halata.

Pagdating ng hatinggabi, nakabalik sila ulit sa bahay. Pagod na pagod silang dalawa kaya nakatulog agad sa sala.

Diana's POV

Nagising agad ako sa amoy ng masarap na agahan. I tiptoed away from Akino, at dumiretso sa kusina para kumain.

Nang nadaanan ko yun nanay ko, she started to scold me.

"Diana, late ka nang nagising. Kapag nagtagal ka pa diyan, late ka na sa klase. Lalagutin ka sa akin kapag late ka."

I just pretended that there was no school today. Buti na lang, madali syang makapaniwala sa bagay-bagay.

She just went on with her business.

Biglang nagising si Akino. Lumayo ako nang paulit-ulit sa kanya, nang bigla syang nagtanong sa akin, "Why do you keep running away? Hindi ako multo, hindi ako mananakot sa iyo."

Her disintegrating-type effect wore off. I get it now. When she becomes human, the memories wear away. That's good to know.

She finally found out kung anong nangyayari kay Akino. Because of that, hindi na sya takot kay Akino.

They just continued eating their breakfast.

MEANWHILE, IN SCHOOL...

Jerry's POV

Bakit hindi nakapasok sina Diana at Akino? May sakit kaya sila?

"Mr. Jerry, stop daydreaming over there!" I was awoken from my daydreams.

There were a lot of things going on in my head at that time. Ayaw ko lang mag-daydream ulit at baka makita ako ng guro:

1. Gusto ko talagang magkita muli sa mga orphanage.
2. Bakit hindi nakapasok sina Diana at Akino?
3. Ang hirap ng mga lessons namin. Gusto ko nang umuwi.

PAGDATING NG RECESS...

Nilapitan ako ni Katie and she also asked me why Diana and Akino had not been able to get to school today. I had no clue. After my simple answer, Katie simply walked away. After that, I went to do something with David and Derrick.

PAGTAPOS NG RECESS AT PAGBALIK SA KLASE...

"So, class. No announcements. There will be no classes on Monday. There is a meeting between the teachers. You may now go. Pack your bags, and we'll see you all this coming Tuesday," the teacher said to the whole class.

Nag-ayos na ako ng gamit. Pero, hindi ako agad umuwi. Pinuntahan ko muna sina Diana.

Diana's POV

Jerry will be coming today? Ano ang gagawin ko kay Akino? I know, I'll let her go up to the guest room for now. So when Jerry comes, nasa taas na sya.

I quickly did what I must. Pinaakyat ko si Akino sa guest room. Biglang dumating si Jerry, sakto sa oras. Pinapasok ko agad sya. When he asked me kung bakit hindi ako nakapasok, I whispered my answer in his ear.

"Naging robot si Akino. I know that sounds hard to believe, but trust me, nakita ko. She had pure green eyes and she shot hand lasers. Nakakatakot. Hinabol nya rin ako papunta sa beach, at sa park. We got back to our house by midnight."

He understood everything I just said, buti na lang.

He then left, and that was when I told Akino to come down. Sabi na nga at gagana yun plano ko.

When I let Akino come down, she asked me kung anong nangyari habang nasa taas sya. I pretended that I went in the kitchen at wala akong nakita.

She came down to watch TV. I opened it on an anime channel para magkaroon ng feeling na at-home lang sya. Nang bigla na lang syang sumabay sa mga sayaw sa TV.

Wow. Ang lakas ng pagkagusto nya sa mga kawaii. Pati ba naman palabas. Ano pa kaya, libro, laro, pelikula. What more???

She was having so much fun, at ang ganda ng sayaw, so I had no other choice kundi sabayan sya sa pagsayaw ng mga iba't ibang kawaii dances.

Jerry's POV

I can't believe na si Akino, our brand new exchange student, ay isa palang robot. Halos hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa narinig ko kay Diana kahit paulit-ulit ko nang nauulit sa utak ko.

I went back to my house, confused but also a little calm.

At least and at last, tapos na ang araw. Hindi man nakapasok sina Diana, sana makapasok na sila bukas. At sana rin na maalis na si Diana. Alam kong pagdating ng panahon, mabubunyag na robot lang pala siya.

I headed upstairs, packed my things, dumiretso sa kwarto, at kaagad na natulog. It was a long day.

Diana's POV

Malapit na akong matulog. Sana hindi nanaman maging baliw na robot si Diana. Dahil kung maging baliw man ulit sya, ay, mas gugustuhin ko pang lumayas na lang ng bahay rather than fight with an all-nighter, laser-shooting, anime-type robot disintegrating machine.

Habang paakyat ako ay nasalubong ko ang aking nanay, and she told me that Akino went to bed while I was eating dinner. She wanted to sleep early tonight. Napangiti lang ako at dumaan sa aking nanay na tuluyan nang bumaba para mag-ayos pa ng bagay sa kusina. Umakyat ako ng hagdan,a nd went to my room.

I fluffed up my pillow, fixed the covers, turned off the lights, and laid in bed. Dahil sa aming nakasanayang kultura, I whispered my prayers, blessings, and thanks to the Lord before I slept. After, I snoozed away. Pero, sa buong araw bukas, may isa pa akong hinihiling sa Diyos:

SANA HINDI NA MAGING BALIW SI AKINO. TULOG MAN AKO O GISING, AYOKO KO NANG LUMABAN SA KANYA. NAKAKAPAGOD NG SOBRA-SOBRA!
