Misguided Stars

Chapter 24

In her perspective…

After last night's scene, umuwi na rin yung family namin. Thirdy let me rest and he slept across the hall because my Dad said so hahahaha. Wala naman na siyang nagawa but he pledged after my Dad and Mom na he will chauffeur me around until gumaling yung foot injury ko

Nakapag-ayos na ako nang sarili ko and my things are good to go na rin. Hinihintay ko na lang na dumating si Thirdy na napakabagal talaga kahit kailan. So while waiting for him, I decided to scroll thru my twitter feed

I have several notifications then I noticed na someone followed me

jul followed you

jul
@jolyacastle
just some of my thoughts
Followed by ThirdyRavenaaa

I clicked on her profile and I saw that her header was a photo of her and Thirdy while they were on a sailboat or something, and they look so sweet

'di ko narealize na ang tagal ko na palang natitigan nung photo. I only regained my thoughts nung I heard na may kumakatok sa door ko

"Hey Bea. Are you there?"

"Yeah. The door is open just come in…"

He opened the door and he's smiling from ear to ear. But nung lumapit siya, naging neutral na yung expression niya

"Hey what's the matter?"

He sat beside me and tucked me into his arms. Gosh I feel so fragile all of a sudden

"Uhhh, can you move over?" I said kasi I can't express myself when he's like this

"Not unless you tell me what's going on… so ano nga ba?"

I sighed and gave him my phone

"Julia followed me on twitter, and nakita ko yung header niya which is a picture of you two…"

Instead na magreact violently, he just smiled and kissed my shoulders...

"Wala yan Bei, that was long before na. Actually ngayon ko lang nalaman na binalik niya ulit yan kasi I asked her before to turn it down and she did naman..." he explained

"You still like her?" he shook his head and nagmove siya kaya mas kita ko ngayon yung expressions niya

"Hindi na. We had our chances but hindi naman niya ako binigyan ng attention kaya hindi ko rin talaga siya magets kung bakit ganyan siya ngayon. She really changed… a lot.." he paused and held my hand

"Besides, I have you now. What more can I ask for?"

He flashed his smile and the doubts that I'm feeling a while ago just disappeared

"Hay nako let's go na nga. Breakfast daw muna with the barkada before going to our classes…"

He laughed and kissed the top of my head. Hay ang clingy (gusto ko naman hahaha)

"Ako na magbubuhat ng bag mo…"

Inalalayan niya lang ako pababa and drove na papuntang Ateneo na sobrang lapit lang naman. The whole car ride was quiet but comfortable

We parked near sa Gonzaga para hindi na kami maglakad nang malayo. Of course, inalalayan niya ulit akong maglakad. Grabe now na naiisip ko, ang dami palang nangyari kahapon. I can't help but smile na lang

"Wow laki ng ngiti natin dyan Bea ha. Anong meron? Also, what happened to your foot?" salubong ni Trey sa'kin. Luigi, Pao, Rex, Marck and Sofi are also there. Kami na lang pala talaga kulang

"Pwedeng umupo muna?" sabi ko tapos inirapan niya ako nang pabiro

"Sungit naman nito…"

"Hey Thirdy!"

Lumingon ako sa pinanggalingan nung boses and nakita ko si Julia na nag aapproach sa'min

"That girl is getting on my nerves na. Why are you so cool Bei?" I just shrugged and tinignan kung anong gagawin ni Julia this time

"Good thing you're here Julia…" whaaaat?

I looked at Trey and she's so mad right now. As for me, ang hirap magalit kasi di ako makakapagwalk out because of my injury. What a great day to be alive

"Pumunta ka muna dun sa likod ni Trey, juls..."

Nakita ko na magcocomplain na si Trey pero buti na lang napakalma ni Rex na katabi niya ngayon. Julia obliged naman sa sinabi ni Thirdy and nasa opposite side na siya ng table

"Anong meron bro?" tanong ni Luigi

Nagback hug si Thirdy sa'kin while he's standing and ako naman nafreeze lang sa position ko

"Guys I want you to meet my girlfriend, Bea…"

"WHAAAT?"
"OH MY GOSH"
"GAGO TOTOO?"
"WEH?"
"'DI NGA?"

Tumingala ako para tignan yung mukha ni Thirdy and bigla niya lang akong kiniss sa noo. Aba kumokota na 'to ah

"Shet kailan ka pa bumilis bro?" sabi ni Pao tapos niyakap niya si Luigi after. My eyes. Binatukan lang siya ni Luigi

"Si Bea lang pala kailangan para bumilis..." Rex added

"This. can't. be." sabi ni Julia kaya napatigil lahat sa pagsasalita

"You will pay for this Ravena…" she furiously said tapos she walked out

"Okay that was creepy…" sabi ni Sofi while gripping Marck's arms

"Hay nako hayaan niyo na siya. Don't ruin our day. So kailan pa?" Trey asked

"Last night lang. He planned it with our families…" sabi ko

"Sweet!"

"Kwento naman dyan!"

We spent a full hour para kumain at magkwentuhan. We narrated kung anong nangyari kagabi and nakatanggap lang kami ng batok and panunukso sa kanila... Oh well

After that scenario, we proceeded to our classes na… While walking, I can't help but to think of Julia's statement though. What does she mean by that?

"Bei we're here na. Are you okay?" Thirdy asked. He accompanied me kasi paakyat and 'di ko napansin na andito na pala kami

"Uhh yeah I'm fine. Just thinking kung bakit sinabi ni Julia yung sinabi niya kanina..." I honestly said. He brushed my hair and tuck it behind my ears

"'wag mo na isipin yun. I'll talk to her. That's nothing, okay?"

I sighed and nodded. I really hope it's nothing, or I won't forgive myself…
