Chapter 66 - Back with him

Chapter 66 - Back with him
Sydney's POV
-----------------

It's been 3 weeks since everything happened, but it feels like it hasn't been at least a week.

A lot has changed, lalo na wala si Nick. I felt more alone, with Kuya gone dahil sa Office na siya natutulog.

The house has gone silent, si Mommy din mas madalas na wala. But I'm sure ito yung paraan nila para mag cope sa mga nangyari.

It's soon gonna be a month since Nick left, well di naman niya choice. I miss him more everyday.

Luckily andito yung mga kaibigan namin, atleast kahit pa-paano I feel less alone.

They've been dating me everyday after school, hindi sila papayag na uuwi agad ako. Despite my life being this one hell ride of a roller-coaster, I'm lucky with the friends I've met and became close with.

"Syd!" Napapikit ako sa gulat at tumitig kay Karylle "Excited ka na?"

Kumunot yung noo ko which caused her to playfully roll her eyes at me.

"Sa sobrang lalim ng iniisip mo nakakalimutan mo na malapit ka ng maging valedictorian" Nanlaki yung mata ko at ngumiti tsaka paonti onting tumatango.

I looked down at mabilis nawala yung ngiti ko, I took a deep breathe.

"I just hope by then, Nick's back here" Nilibot ko yung tingin ko sa Canteen. I can't imagine not coming back to this place anymore.

Even though Kuya Karl will still continue his studies here, I made a promise that I'll only study here for my junior high school years.

"He will" Nasira yung attention ko ng dumating na si Trisha at pinadaan sa mukha ko yung fries na binili nito.

"Penge" Umiling iling ito, sinamaan ko ito ng tingin at inilapit sakanya yung kanang kamay ko.

"Bumili ka" Inirapan ko ito at narinig ko si Karylle na nag chuckle.

Tumingin ako sa pila at nakita na nakapila si Josh. Tinitigan ko lang ito dahil may nabasa ako na pag tinitigan mo yung tao haharap ito sayo.

It worked humarap nga siya sakin, kumaway ito ng makita na nakatitig ako. Tinuro ko yung fries na nasa table namin at kumunot yung noo nito.

Hinawakan ko yung fries ni Trish kaya napamura ito, I raised it up para makita ni Josh, I then raised my pointer finger para sabihin na isa. He nodded kaya binaba ko na yung pagkain nito.

"In a few weeks hindi ko na kayo makikita" Trish said habang tinatago na sakin yung fries niya, natawa kami ni Karylle.

"Anong hindi! May plano pa tayong beach party diba?" Tumingin sakin si Karylle asking for back up, kumunot lang yung noo ko. Confused sa sinabi niyang plano "Kahit ikaw hindi mo alam?"

I shrugged, hindi ko talaga alam kung anong sinasabi nito. Everytime na magkakasama kami my mind just flies away and I get lost in my own thoughts, nababalik lang ako pag bigla silang sumisigaw or tinatapik ako.

So I sometimes, no, most of the time, I have no idea as to what's going on at kung anong pinaguusapan nila.

"Wag ka ng umasa Karylle. Yung mga yun" She stopped dahil umupo bigla sa tabi ni Karylle si Josh at inabot yung fries ko.

"May utang ka ha" Umiling iling ako agad.

"May kasalanan ka diba?" I smirked ng ngumiti ito ng pilit at dahang dahan tumango tango. "Di mo naman ikakahirap yung Fifty pesos"
