Rumors

My blissful two weeks has ended now. This is my last day here in my Island. Just like what Seymour and I talked about—he went home yesterday, so the fans wouldn't be able to be suspicious, about us—dating, dahil maraming kumakalat sa Internet na pareho pa kaming hindi active sa social media ngayon.

Kailangan naming tupukin at patayin agad ang apoy na unti unting nabubuhay bago pa kami mahuli ng mga tao. All of their eyes are pointed at us right now. I don't even know where did they get that rumors, or when did it started, but I don't care anymore. Ang mahalaga'y matapos na kaagad iyon upang hindi na lumala.

After I sipped on the straw of my strawberry shake, I placed it on the table beside me. I am currently relaxing out doors, in front of the calm sea. The sun shines brighter today, making my skin darkened when the sunlight kissed on it. The easterly squally winds blow from east to west, making me closed my eyes for awhile to stop the small particles of sands and dirt to enter in my eyes.

Dumilat na lamang ako nang maramdamang kalmado na ang hangin. Sakto naman na sunod sunod na tumunog ang notifications ng cellphone ko. My brow arched as I pick up my phone to check on it.

Kumunot ang noo ko nang makita ang pinag gagagawa ni Seymour sa mga social media accounts ko. I cursed numerously as I search for his name on the search bar. As soon as I found his account, I quickly sent him a message.

Ako:

What the hell are you doing?! Do you want us to get caught?

Maririin ang bawat pag tipa ko sa keyboard ng cellphone. Seconds later, he finally replied.

Seymour Norris:

What? I didn't do anything, Exzerie. Bakit mahuhuli?

My teeth keeps on gnashing drastically while typing a message.

Ako:

Damn you! Pahupa na nga ang rumors tungkol sa'tin dahil naka uwi ka na, tapos dadagdagan mo pa?!

He immediately replied. I can imagine his panicking reaction right now.

Seymour Norris:

Luh? Baby, galit ka?

Ako:

What do you think? Of course, I am!

Seymour Norris:

I just like some of your pictures and posts. Anong masama doon? Besides, ang dami naman ng naka like doon. They wouldn't notice it.

I grunted in frustration. Bakit ang kulit niya?

Ako:

Stupid! Malalaman at makikita nila 'yon kaagad! You know them! You also have your own fans, dapat ay kabisado mo na ang galaw nila!

Argh! Seymour's really giving me a head ache right now! Naii-stress ako lalo at parang gusto ko na lamang na kumpiskahin ang cellphone niya, upang hindi na niya ako ii-stalk doon.

Seymour Norris:

Hey, are you mad? I'm sorry. Namiss lang kita, kaya binisita ko 'yung mga accounts mo. How's my baby?

Minutes later, I slowly calmed myself. I took a deep breath before I responded back.

Ako:

I'm fine, but bored. I missed you.

The moment I hit the send button, a sudden call flash in my phone screen. My brow furrowed when I realized that it is Seymour.

"Hey—"
