25: When Dashed is Jealous

Dashed

I can't attend our classes today, baby. Coach will be discussing the preliminary trial for all the newcomers to our team. But let's have lunch together. I'll come to pick you up, alright? Be good.

That was the exact message I received from Dashed after our second period this morning. Teegan kept bothering me, asking why he didn't come to class, but I couldn't give her an answer dahil maski ako, hindi ko rin alam.

Ngayon lang yata niya na-realize na may taong naghihintay sa kanya kaya naisipan niyang mag-text kahit isang beses lang.

"Si Dashed ba nag-text? Asan daw siya?" Teegan's eyes budged on my cellphone which I quickly returned sa bulsa ng coat ko.

I hate admitting this, even to myself... because I know this isn't good. Why do I feel like something's missing when he's not with me? I shouldn't be this clingy. Damn. Not with him, Bronywn.

Not with Dashed.

"He's probably at basketball tryouts. I don't know," I shrugged and started packing up my things. "Let's go to the café, I'm hungry."

"Luh! Hindi siya sasabay sa'yo?" she asked in surprise as we walked out of the room.

Maybe because she's used to seeing us eat together during breaks. Ngayon lang yata 'yong hindi dahil sa sched niya. But I was prepared for this because Dashed has been telling me about it for the past few weeks. He said he'll make it up to me after the championship. Um-oo na lang ako.

I looked at her and nodded. "He'll join me for lunch later. Hayaan mo na. Baka talagang busy lang siya."

"You look disappointed, dear," she laughed mockingly. "Mukhang attached ka na talaga sa kanya, ah!"

"I'm not," madiin kong tugon habang binabato siya ng matatalim na tingin. Damn it. Hindi dapat mangyari ang bagay na 'yon.

Her eyebrows raised in interest. "Really?"

"Stop looking at me like that, Teegan." I warned her.

Pero teka nga. Bakit ba ang init ng ulo ko ngayon?

Dumiretso na kami sa cafeteria. Teegan kept babbling, but I had this temperamental feeling not to respond at all. Let her think what she wants. Basta ako, gutom na.

After buying our snacks, naghanap kami ng table sa dulo. I bought two pieces of chocolate cake, three pieces of brownies, and a large cup of hot chocolate. Oh, hell yes. I'm not perfect. I'm human. I break rules. Let Dashed deal with whatever his reaction might be when he sees me eating like this.

"Gusto mo talagang magka-diabetes no?" I heard Teegan complain, but I just continued walking.

But not until someone snatched the tray I was holding.

"What the heck?" I tilted my head to meet— Oh, my God. It was Dashléy! Masama ang tingin niya sakin kaya napalunok ako. "T-Teka... a-anong— Hala!" my eyes literally widened in shock when he threw my food in the bin next to him without any hesitation!

I can't damn believe this!

"Why did you do that?!" I exclaimed, tears welling up in my eyes.

Pagkain 'yon, e, tapos itatapon lang niya?!

"Because it was the right thing to do," he firmly said. Ni walang mababakas na pagsisisi sa boses niya! "'Wag ka ngang umiyak diyan. Pangit mo." he added, making both Teegan and me stunned.

What the heck?! Pagkatapos niyang itapon 'yong pagkain ko, he had the nerve to insult me?!

Lord, bakit ang gaspang naman po masyado ng ugali ng lalaking 'to? Mas malala pa siya kay Dashed!

Huminga ako nang maluwag. And then I realized something. Clearly, wala naman akong mapapala dito.

Calm yourself, Bronywn. Just buy something else, okay?

Without a word, I just turned away from him, but he quickly grabbed my hand back. Marami nang nakatingin sa amin pero halatang wala siyang pakialam. I glared at him, but he didn't even flinch!

"Ano ba?! Bitawan mo nga ako!" I tried to break free from his grip, but it was too tight!

"Ang ingay mo." tanging sagot lang niya habang kinakaladkad na ako papalayo.

Sinubukan kong tignan si Teegan pero hanggang ngayon ay nakaawang pa rin ang bibig niya at tulala sa mga nangyayari. Even the crowd had the same reaction!

I didn't know where this guy was taking me, but one thing's for sure, I'm really pissed off, yet I don't have the energy to protest anymore.

It was only halfway down the corridor when I heard laughter coming from the corner. Papalapit ito nang papalapit sa amin. And there. I saw the varsity players walking towards us. Dashed was leading the way.

Napaatras ako ng bahagya nang magtagpo ang mga mata namin.

Jesus. I saw how his jaw tightened when his eyes landed on his brother's hand, which was still wrapped around my wrist. Bumilis ang mga hakbang niya papalapit sa amin. His teammates called him, but he didn't look back.

Parang...

Parang hindi ko gusto ang susunod na mangyayari.

Hinablot niya ang kamay ko mula sa kapatid niya pero hindi bumitaw si Dashléy. Oh, God! Tumingin ako sa paligid at nakita kong nakakahakot na naman kami ng panibagong atensyon mula sa mga estudyanteng palakad-lakad!

"I told you to fuck off how many times. Hirap ka ring umintindi, e no?" Dashed uttered with a grunt. He seemed like a volcano about to erupt because of anger.

"I'm actually doing you a favor," Dashléy replied,  smirk spreading over his face as he pointed a finger at me. "Bantayan mo kasi nang maigi."

"Gago ka pala, e. Ano'ng gusto mong palabasin? Akin 'to! Hanap ka ng sa'yo!"

With a strong force, Dashed finally pulled me away from his brother. Hindi ako makapagsalita. Lalo na noong ipinirmi niya ako sa likod niya, as if protecting me from harm.

Papapalit-palit ang tingin ko sa kanilang dalawa. Parang any time ay magsusuntukan sila kaya hindi ko na rin alam kung ano'ng gagawin ko!

"Well, I already expected this to happen." Dashléy said mockingly. "You'll get jealous as fuck. Akin na 'yong isang daang libo ko mamaya."

Then he turned his back, leaving us clueless and dumbfounded.

Damn it. What the heck just happened?! Wala akong maintindihan!
