Chapter 20: Gut Feeling

[EXELLOR ONEIRO'S POV]

"What the thing was that?!" bulong na tanong ni Jamiel sa akin habang pabalik-balik ang tingin niya sa aming dalawa ni Paul.

I could ask the same thing. What was that?

Don't tell me it's that tadhana thing agai–

"Ang swerte swerte yata nating dalawa ngayon! Makakasayaw ang dalawa sa mga campus heartthrobs ng Florentin! Kyah~~~!" mahinang tili ni Jamiel, at niyugyog talaga ako. Ngunit hindi pa rin maalis ang tingin ko kay Paul Trevor.

Alam ko gusto niya ang nangyari. That we were partnered for the ball dance. Although, it's the first time at Florentin High, I knew there will be an event like this. Paul's smiling like a child. I can see his eyes were twinkling. A sign of happiness.

Kita ko ang gulat na ekspresyon ni Rhianne, na nakatingin kay Paul, but it seems that he wasn't aware of her. Why is he happy? Why is he happy, to dance with me at the ball?

And I know to myself, that... it seems I like the idea of it.

Just then, I felt a quick, sharp hit at the back of my neck! I winced in pain! *

My eyes shifted to Jamiel, who's looking at me curiously, still her hand near on the back of my neck.

"UY! ONEIRO! Kanina ka pa nakatingin kay– OH MY GOD DON'T TELL ME MAY CRUSH KA NA NGAYON KAY FUNTELO HA?"

I didn't answer... which made her smirk. "Ikaw ah! Atleast nagkakaroon na ng lovelife haha!"

"You know that's not even possible."

"To a guy like him? Na kayang i-sacrifice yung oras sa'yo para lang titigan na nakatunganga sa langit? Handa siya e. Kita mo na yung effort niya for the past few weeks? He can even stay until 6... paano pa kaya kung magpakita ka na ng signs na gusto mo na siya? Eh diba girl... may nararamdaman ka na rin naman? Takot ka lang kasi, pero pag natanggal iyan alam mo, daig mo na ako sa pananawmong bitter..."

"No. He will not accept me when he decides to know me inside out."

"Oh c'mon! I'm already seeing signs that you're interested! At nagkakacrush!"

I raised a brow. She crossed both her arms.

"Oh, don't give me that look girl! Alam mong expert ako diyan at huwag na huwag mo akong ma-correct, dahil FYI, I had experience unlike you na nararanasan pa lang! Past tense na saken, present pa lang sa'yo!" she stated, matter of factly.

She already had 2 boyfriends on serious relationships. She isn't the type of girl who'll date just a bunch of guys.

"Look, he shouldn't know about–"

"That? Seryoso? Alam mo, it's not that crucial. You need to relax at least gurl! Puro ka na lang serious! Dapat maibalik niya yang mga ngiti mo noon na hindi mo na masyadong nagagawa ngayon..."

I just let out a big breath.

I took a glance at him for just a second.
