Date me

♡♥♡

Death take a sip of her coffee as she wanted not to be sleepy in her class this day.

"Why are you having lack of sleep these days.?"

Pire asked and took a sip of his coffee too. Nagkibit balikat nalang siya, not wanting the conversation to go further.

Last night was so different from the other night of escaping Pire. Maybe because nandoon ang tatlo. And Ravaneal was a different person last night.

"Are you jealous?"

I asked without thinking. Not considering what will be his response.

"Me? Jealous!! Fvck YES!! I'm Jealous. I don't know why I am jealous. I like you? No definitely because..." he stoped and looked at me with a frustrated face.

"I just don't like you Victoria, I love you and I wanted to deny it but I can't."

I was speechles, hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko, ang sasabihin ko. Is it him? Is it really him?

"Man, you've graduated from being a 'torpe' now. Congratulations."

Nigel patted his back and chuckled. Grover just remain silent.

"Aren't gonna say something?" he asked me. Well what should I say? "You're making me nervous Victoria. But I will wait for your response, kahit abutin pa tayo ng dekada. Take a rest Victoria, ipapahatid nalang kita sa driver namin. At my state, baka hindi ka makarating ng buo sa bahay niyo kapag ako ang naghatid sayo."

Napabuntong hininga si Death ng maalala ang kinalabasan ng tanong niyang iyon. She didn't mean anything, sadyang lumabas lang sa bibig niya ang tanong na iyon.

"Wow ang lalim a. Mind sharing?"

"It's nothing Pire. I just feel so exhausted."

Hindi na tinanong pa ni Pire si Death, he doesn't want to force her to open up with him. This past few days, nararamdaman niyang may kakaiba kay Death, and he have a hunch that it has something to do with Ravaneal and he will not stop until he finds out, what is that.

⭐Deathalé⭐

I pay a visit to Mike, i never had the chance to talk to him after what happened to Lori. I think I owe him one dahil ako ang dahilan kung bakit nawalan siya ng mga kaibigan.

"You sure, you don't want me to come with you? Pwede ko naman ipagpaliban ang practice namin sa basketball."

Ahh yes, about that. Umpisa na ng mapuspusang training for the upcoming inter-school international competition. That would be 3 weeks from now, so probably, kailangan na talaga naming mag-ensayo.

"I'm sure of it Pire. No need to worry. Saglit lang naman ako, and i will watch your practice."

"Okay, take care Tori."

He kissed me on the forehead at lumihis na ng direksiyon. Pumasok ako sa base building and went to room 321 but unfortunately, wala sila doon.

Aalis na sana ako ng makasalubong ko si Vin.

"Death, long time no see."

"Yeah, where's the room 321? Now?"

"I think, they went  to the gym for P.E, pabalik narin sila siguro."

Katulad ng sinabi niya, namataan ko na ang mga room 321 sa hallway, they are wearing their P.E uniform and there, i remembered those guys that I saw before entering Blizards. Hindi ko pa sila nakikita eversince i got here.

"Death!!" sigaw nila at nagmadaling lumapit sakin.

"Long time no see a."

"Oo nga, porke nasa Elite building kana"

"Miss na namin ang kalokohan mo."

Napangiti nalang ako dahil hindi parin nila binabago ang pakikitungo sakin kahit na alam na nila ang totoong ako. Ofcourse, bakit nga naman magbabago, e kilala na nila ako sa pag-uugali.

"Sus, haha namiss ko din kayo. Tsaka Mike, can we talk?"

Pumasok na sa loob ng classroom ang ibang mga taga room 321 at naiwan kami ni Mike dito sa labas.

"How are you Mike?"

"I'm doing fine. Trying to forget what happened."

Bumuntong hininga ako at tinignan siya sa mata. Nangayayat na siya at hindi na siya katulad ng dati. If i only could take his burdens, pati rin naman ako nawalan, hindi lang siya but I know na mas masakit ito para sa kanya dahil mas matagal niyang nakasama ang mga ito. I just really can't accept na wala na si Ren, parang kahapon lang nung nakikita ko pa siyang nakangiti.

"I'm so sorry Mike, it is all my fault. Kung hindi lang siguro ako dumating sa buhay niyo, baka kumpleto pa kayo."

He pulls me for a hug and he rest his head on my shoulder.

"It's not your fault. We don't regret being your friend. Everything happens for a reason Death."

I patted his back. "I will always be here for you Mike, kapag kailangan mo ng tulong, nandito lang ako. Just call me, and i'll be there."

"Tapos naba kayo magyakapan?"

Napahinwalay ako kay Mike and at his back was Andree. Looking furious at us.

"And— Ravaneal Knight, what are you doing here?"

Humakbang siya palapit saamin at hinawakan ako sa bewang.

"I wanted to be with my girl."

"Your girl? Gago ka ba?"

"Gwapo lang." napatingin siya kay Mike. "I don't like the sight of you hugging other man than me and your dad."

"Looks like, you have some Lovers quarrel thing. So I should go now Death, see you around."

"Wait—"

He waved his right hand at pumasok na sa room nila. I glared at Ravaneal who was smiling like an idiot, maybe because of that LQ thing. This jerk.

"What are you up to Andree?"

"It really feels good when you call me by my first name love."

"Geez, you're creeping me out."

Kinilabutan ako sa inaakto niya ngayon. Hindi naman siya ganito dati.

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at inilapit sa kanya. Halos maduling ako dahil sa lapit ng muka niya sa muka ko. Isang galaw lang ay pwede na kaming maghalikan and that's a bad idea. Paniguradong issue nanaman ang mamamayani sa school page na dapat ay for school matters lang at hindi sa mga tsismis nila.

"Victoria Deathalé Maiden. I confess to you last night and I know that you're doubting about it, so i will propose you an offer."

"What?"

"Date me"
