Semua Bab Fall For You : Bab 21 - Bab 30

As expected, we just introduced ourselves in a creative way the whole day in every class. It was so boring but I have to cooperate. I can sing kaya kinanta ko na lang ang mga gusto kong sabihin. I don't even know what's so special about me and my voice that my classmates keep on cheering for me. Akala mo may nag-concert na artista sa harapan nila. They're so weird.    We also had a classroom election. Good thing, there's no need to elect for a muse! Since I was in grade school, ako palagi ang nananalo bilang muse. They forced me to join pageants during special events in school. I don't even have a choice because that's what a muse should do! They really thought all I can do is to be pretty! I can be a great leader, too, for their information. Ugh, they're really weird and annoying.    Annoying... I remembered Eth— Stop it, Zephyrine.    "Your fans are very supportive." Jake cooed on my ear in a teasing way

I woke up in the school clinic. Hindi na nga ako nagulat pa. Because I already knew the reason why I'm here. I lazily roamed my eyes around the small room before getting up. Masakit pa rin ang ulo ko pero hindi ko na ito pinansin. "Zeph... gising ka na pala." Ivory uttered when she noticed my presence.  Binantayan pa rin pala nila ako habang natutulog. Yet, I did not talk to them. Hindi ko nakalimutan ang ginawa nilang pagsisinungaling sa akin. I checked my phone and there were no messages and missed calls from my parents and my sister. They did not even bother to contact me!  It was already past twelve, I slept for almost three hours! Kaya mabilis akong nag-ayos ng sarili. I still have to attend my afternoon classes. Tumayo na ako pagkatapos kong mag-ayos sa sarili at kinuha ang bag ko mula sa bedside table.  I halted walking when Ivory spoke. "Zeph, magpahinga ka

Trigger Warning : At the end of the chapter, there will be a scene that might trigger your mind and feelings. Read at your own risk.     ***     I was speechless and I don't know the proper words to say. The whole room was filled with silence.    "Oh, I'm so sorry for asking that." My Philosophy teacher chuckled but it was more like a mocking laugh or maybe I heard it wrong. "Anyway, class, let's proceed to our lesson for today. Open your textbooks on page 15."   Then, she went to her table in front of the class while discussing our lesson for today like she did not asked me something sensitive!    She did not even bother to ask me if how I felt when she literally saw how my hands and knees shook after hearing her sudden question. I was so scared a while ago that I couldn't form any word to say. They were all looking at me na parang hinuhusgaha

I couldn't answer him as I was stunned with his question. And I don't know what to say. Kahit ako, hindi ko nga rin alam kung ano ba talagang meron sa aming dalawa. We were just strangers whose paths were crossed by fate. But then, everything just happened so quickly. Ngayon, nangangapa na kami sa dilim. Kapwa kami naguguluhan kung ano ba talaga kami.  "I want to know kung ano ba talagang meron tayo. I don't know where to put myself. I don't want to assume that we both feel the same way. But at the same time, gusto kong paniwalain ang sarili ko na gusto mo rin ako. F*ck... pagod na akong manghula, Erin!" Ethan frustratingly messed his hair.  Hindi ako nakapagsalita kaagad. Dahil hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. Hindi ko alam kung saan humugot ng dapat kong sabihin.  "I... I don't know what to say. I'm sorry." I was about to walk away from him when he tightened his grip on my hand.  

I thought everything is already going better just like how I wanted. I haven't done anything to fix it but at least, I've found the peace I wanted. My parents didn't bother my life... for now. Although I haven't talked to my sister for a while now, I am still feeling happy to see her photos on the internet and I enjoy watching her on the TV show she's in. But... no. Lahat na lang ng konting kasiyahan ko sa buhay napapalitan ng matinding kalungkutan. My best friend for more than ten years let me go. He cut ties with me and... "He flew to Canada right away, Erin." Jake's mom said when I called her. It's been days since he hasn't contacted me and I never saw him in school, too. Even Axi and Ivory don't have any idea if where he went. He did not even left any message for the three of us. He just disappeared and went overseas. "N-no..." My voice cracked and my knees were shaking.
