The Skirt Chaser

Chapter 14

Nakaraan ang ilang araw at consistent kaming nag uusap ni Bryx by text. It's a friendly text lang naman. Since hindi kami nag kikita due to final exams week lagi kami nag uusap. He invited me and Victor sa tambayan nila kasi daw meron daw silang tradition every finals na merong celebration kasi end of semester na and 4th year college na kami sa susunod na semester.

"Machay I can't believe 4th year college na tayo sa pasukan. Like O to the M to the G. Imma search for yummy pappables na" sabi niya habang kinikilig.

"Ano ka ba! Trust me, babae ang naka-destiny sayo" I said and I winked.

"Eh ikaw, sino kaya makakatuluyan mo sa dalawa?"

"I don't know. Wala akong plan mag asawa or what"

"You'll never know, Machay. I'm excited for youuuu" sabi niya at hinila na niya ako papunta sa tambayan nila Bryx.

Pumasok kami and kumpleto sila, but the great Dave Alicante has a new girl to play. I smirked when he saw me while staring at him. Pero ang ginawa niya, hinapit niya yung waist nung girl and he kissed her forehead looking at me. Natawa nalang ako napailing habang nakatingin din sakanya. Like the h-ell I care.

Nandito din yung half-sister ko na si Queen and yung friend niya na si Airiz. Hindi ko alam 'kung sino kina Thomas at Spencer and nanliligaw kay Queen but whatever. Ayokong makielam sa buhay ng kapatid ko. I know she can stand on her own.

"Hey, dumating ka. You're not replying to my texts" sabi ni Caleb na nang galing sa likuran ko.

"Uhm, you know. Priority ko talaga acads so, don't expect me to hold my phone all the time" I lied, pero katext ko lang si Bryx, and we've gotten closer na, di tulad ni Caleb. But we're acting na we're super close kasi nga we're playing the same game.

"I know, but in one day there's 24 hours, and it's so impossible na hindi mo mahahawakan 'yung phone mo" sabi niya.

"You know Caleb, I don't want to start this argument. We have our own lives. Hindi kita pinapake-elaman and please respect my privacy too. Hindi ko lang talaga feel mag text during finals week" I said and walk towards Victor na kumukuha na ng food.

Nawala ako bigla sa mood. Nakakainis si Caleb. Wala kaming label para mag demand siya ng replies ko. Yes, we're flirting but it doesn't mean that my world will revolve around him. That's a total b-ullsh*t.

"I heard what happened, Machay" sabi ni Victor na pabulong sa'akin.

"Ang nosy mo" sabi ko and kumuha ako ng isang slice ng pizza. Nawalan ako ng gana kumain kasi stress na nga ako sa pag aaral, dinagdagan pa nitong Caleb na 'to.

"I think he's starting to like you" sabi ni Victor at umupo kami sa couch.

"I know. Hindi naman siya mag dedemand ng simpleng reply ko kung hindi 'diba. But you know Victor, naiirita na ako kay Caleb. I want to stop this b-ullsh*ts, and since 4th year na tayo next semester, I want to focus more on my acads na"

"Ganito Machay. I have a brillant idea!" sabi niya and kumagat siya sa pizza niya, "Hey guys! What if 'kung mag out of town tayo this summer? It would be fun! Since 4th year na tayo next semester, mas maganda diba 'kung mag enjoy muna bago ma-stress sa school? What to you think?" sabi niya sabay kagat ng pizza niya at tumingin saakin. I smirked.

"Masaya 'yun! Tara" –Spencer

"Sige tara! Sagot ko na kwento" –Thomas

"May beach house kami sa Palawan, 'kung gusto niyo doon nalang para less hassle?" sabi naman ni Caleb.

"Uh, hindi ko feel ko feel mag beach" sabi ko para makaiwas kay Caleb. Naiirita na nga ako sakanya mag ooffer pa siya ng ganyan. Gusto ko na siyang iwasan.
