Chapter 10

Castiel's POV

It's now Monday again.

Must be a the worst day of the week especially for most of the students. I used to hate it too but not anymore.

I'm here in front of the entrance of our building waiting for Yvette.

I really don't know what happened to me. Suddenly there was this girl I saw at the hallway looking so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off her. I tried to shrug it off but I saw her again with Cassandra and that was when I noticed my heart beating faster than usual. At first I thought I was sick.

Love at first sight, really? Hard to believe that it is true.

But suddenly I noticed a few changes in me.

I used to hate talking and I'm used to having my own world but now I can't wait to talk to Yvette in person.

I used to hate it when people mock me or tease me about speaking in English too much but when it was her, it suddenly felt funny.

I used to go directly in our room but here I am waiting for her. I can even see other students looking at my direction. Maybe they are as confused I am.

I stood up straight right away when I saw Asher's car as he park in his usual parking space.

I felt myself smile immediately as I saw Yvette getting off and I felt it grew bigger as she walk towards me.

"Magandang umaga." I tried hard to sound like I'm fluent in speaking in Filipino but I know that I failed but it's worth it since I saw her laugh.

"The accent is still there but it's good enough, really." I can't help but to smile because she praised me. I'm feel like I'm a dog who's happy enough because his master praised him. Great. What's happening to me?

I was about to say something to her when someone suddenly coughed. I turned my gaze at my side and saw Asher looking at me like he was suspecting me of doing something wrong.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm studying here." I simply answered. I can feel that he's getting more irritated because of what I said though.

"Don't act like you're dumb. You know exactly what I meant." Of course, I do know it.

I just don't understand him. Why is he suddenly being protective of Yvette?

"Why do you care?" It was like he was taken aback because of my sudden question.

"I'm her brother. Of course I care about her."

"Why? What's with the sudden change of heart? I thought you don't like her?"

Base from what I remember, he even made Yvette lie that they are siblings, right? What kind of act is this now?

I just hope what he's showing to us now isn't fake.

He didn't answer and instead of making a big deal out of it, I just let it passed. I don't want us to start a fight especially in front of Yvette. I'm very much sure that she wouldn't like that.

"Let's go." I just said and then I started to walk ahead of them.

Asher's POV

Mali to. Pakiramdam ko naghihinala na si Castiel sa akin.

Akala ko hindi nila mapapansin basta hindi na ako nagmumukhang gago sa harap nila kaya hindi ko inaasahan na si Castiel pa pala yung makakapansin. Si Castiel na madalas ay walang pakialam sa nangyayari sa paligid niya.

Hindi ko nga naman pinagisipan nang maayos.

Paano ba naman kasi. Hindi maayos yung pagtrato ko sa kanya nung una. Sobrang vocal pa nga ako tungkol sa hindi ko pagkakagusto sa kanya tapos biglang magiging mabait ako sa kanya?

Mukhang naloko ko yung iba pero hindi si Castiel.

Pero ang pinagtataka ko...

Ang alam ko, oo, umaarte ako na mabait sa kanya para makuha ko ang tiwala niya at pagkatapos gagawa ako ng paraan para masaktan siya pero ngayon parang nawawala na sa isip ko yung plano.

Parang natural na nga yung pagiging protective ko sa kanya.

Hindi maaari to.

Hindi dapat ako mapalapit sa kanya.

Paano na si Mom? Paano na yung plano naming dalawa? Paano na yung gusto ko na mabuo uli yung pamilya namin?

Tsk. Umayos ka nga, Asher.

Sa sobrang pag-iisip ko hindi ko na namalayan na nakarating na pala kami sa room namin.

Tignan mo. Nandito na pala yung magpinsan pati si Raven pero bakit hindi dumiretso si Castiel dito? Usually maaga to pumasok ah?

Wag niyang sabihin na sinasadya nila talaga magstay doon para hintayin yung kapatid ko?

Hindi ko na lang uli binuksan yung tungkol doon baka mamaya mabaliktad at ako yung maalagay sa alanganin. Hindi nila pwede malaman yung plano ko.

Nagsimula na yung klase namin at syempre hindi mawawala yung mga teachers na after magpaturo ay may biglaang ipapagawa na seatwork o di kaya quiz.

Parang mauubos yung brain cells ko nito ah?

Natapos yung morning classes namin na pakiramdam ko pagod na pagod ako. Wala kasi akong ginawa buong weekend kung hindi ang manood ng movies sa netflix.

Ni hindi ko nga man lang nabuksan yung school bag ko eh.

Gutom na ako.

"Tara na!" Pag-aaya ko sa kanila. Sabay-sabay naman silang nagtuyuan kaya nauna na akong lumabas. Susunod naman yung mga 'yon sa akin.

Nasa may second floor na kami nung mapalingon ako sa likuran ko at agad nahagip ng paningin ko yung dalawa na magkasama pa ngayon.

Nag-uusap lang sila pero parang may sarili silang mundo.

Tsk. Mukhang tama nga ako.

Mukhang tinamaan na nga tong lalaki na to sa kapatid ko.

Pero bakit?

Bakit yung kapatid ko pa?

Hindi pwede to.

Gaya nga ng sabi ko noon, hindi deserve ni Yvette si Castiel.

Guguluhin niya lang pati yung buhay ng kaibigan ko. Ganon naman talaga siya eh.

Doon naman siya magaling eh. Magaling siyang manira ng buhay.

At hindi ko hahayaan na masira niya pati yung buhay ng iba pa.

Tama na siguro yung akin na lang.

Wag na ang mga kaibigan ko.
