#DAWConfusion

After what happened, school day came in so fast. Kakatapos lang ng history class and its break time. Sa library ako dumiretso. I chose the best place, yung pinkatago para sana matulog pero occupied na. Pagkatalikod ko, nakasalubong ko si Gelo.

"I've been looking everywhere for you." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Anong why? We always eat together diba? Lav and Mickey's looking for you as well." He said.

"Ah. I'll skip. Hindi ako gutom." I said then I walked pass him.

I wanted to remove this feelings that I have for him dahil as crazy as it sounds like, I think Gelo's in love with his step sister. It's what my hunch and assumption tells me.

Pero paano ko sisimulang magmove-on kung ganitong sinusudan niya naman ako?

"Hey wait. Sama ako." He happily said, pero hindi ako natutuwa.

Sakto namang nakita ko si Greg na kausap si Lia kaya tinawag ko sila. I just needed to get away from him.

"Greg! Lia!" Naguluhan pa ako nung biglang umalis si Lia, pero pinush ko pa din.

"Ven." Kumaway din si Greg pabalik.

"I'm sorry Gelo, pero may meeting kasi kami sa photograohy club eh. I don't think masasamahan kita ngayon." I said before running towards Greg.

I looked back at him and I watched him scratch the back of his head as he walk away. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag.

"So? What's up?" Greg asked.

"Ah, wala naman. I just saw you. Pero bakit umalis si Lia?" I asked, kasi gusto ko talaga siga makausap.

"Ah. She had to do things." Greg said.

I spent the whole break with Greg. Hindi naman kami masyadong nag-usap but we talked about few things. Nabanggit niya yung tungkol sa kanila ni Lucas nung mga bata pa sila. But he didn't spill the beans. He just said na bigla na lang nasira yung friendship nila, and Lucas still hates him.

It didn't affect my curiosity like how their issue made me curious last time. Para bang nawalan na ako ng interes?

I attended afternoon classes seriously, because I wanted to divert my attention. Hindi ko naman maiiwasan sa classroom si Gelo lalo na at magkatabi kami ng upuan. So I just act casual.

Hanggang sa matapos ang klase, I tried pretending that everything was okay. Kahit ang hirap lalo na't siucas ay panay ang tingin sakin, and it annoys the hell out of me.

After class, madali kong niligpit yung gamit ko at inaya ko si Mickey na umuwi na. Pero sabi niya may pupuntahan pa daw siya kaya mauna na ako, at magpapasundo na lang siya mamaya. Kaya nagmamadali akong lumabas para sana hindi na ako maabutan ni Gelo pero I was too late.

"Ven, kain tayo?" He asked, and that me sighed deeply.

"Why do you always have to ask me to eat? Do I look like a pig?" I annoying said before walking out. Pero hindi pa ako nakakalayo ay narinig ko ang isang boses na pamilyar.

"Bro, let's eat!" Nilingon ko sila at nakita ko ang malungkot na ngiti ni Gelo bago sumunod kay Ellie.

Tumalikod agad ako at naglakad hanggang sa mapansin kong napunta ako sa quarters. Bukas yun kaya pumasok na ako sa loob. Ibinaba ko yung mga gamit ko at naupo sa sofa. I sighed and closed my eyes para pigilang tumulo yung mga luha ko. Pero huli na ang lahat.

"You're crying again." He said.

Tinignan ko lang siya at tsaka pinunasan yung mga luha ko. I ignored him just like what he wanted me to do tapos nagpunta ako ng kusina para uminom ng tubig, pero sinundan niga ako at naupo siya sa counter para panuorin ako.
