Dear Highschool

Chapitré 30: The Escape

Mariz' POV

"This can't be Ma! Pa! I already love someone else." I said and deep breathly. "Im in a relationship with James. You heard me right."

Alam kong madami ng nagbubulungan. I looked at kuya who is smiling to me and mouted 'Im so proud of you'.

"Ma, Pa. Im sorry, but I can't do what you want this time." And there I grab James who is really shock this time.

"Mariz no." My mother grabbed my wrist. "Hindi mo pwede gawin ito anak. Nakapagsunduan na namin to."

"Don't disappoint us Ms. Selevon. Ito nalang ang hinihingi namin sayo." My father is starting to be pissed off. Pero mali eh.

"Ma, I thought this is a surprise.. Oww wait, it is really a surprise. It surprised me a lot. Just wow." I then clapped my hands.

"Anak, please." My mother begged.

"I always thought that are family is perfect. Bat nagdesisyon nalang kayo? Isn't it unfair na magdecide agad kayo? You are my mother pero ipapakasal mo ako sa taong hindi ko mahal? Hindi ba dapat ibinibigay niyo ang gusto ko at hindi niyo hahayaan na masaktan ako. " I asked. "Tapos sinasabi niyong bawal ako magboyfriend pero eto! Ipapakasal niyo ako? Ma naman."

"You will learn to love him Mariz. Mabait na bata si Aaron."

"Ow wow." I looked at Mico who is also shocked right now. "Ma,I gotta go. Your my mother pero wag ngayun. Bye."

And I grab James' wrist again.

Naglakad na ako paounta sa parking lot kasama si James. Why isn't he uttering even a word? I destroyed the party for him. Tapos bat ngayon napakasilent niya.

"Hey." I stopped and stared at him. He isn't speaking.

"James? Are you fine?" I asked again.

"Aren't you going to speak." He didn't utter a word again. "Tsk. I gotta go back to the party and marry that freaking Aaron. Bye." When I am about to leave him but I'm just kidding ofcourse...

"Why did you do that? I must be the one who is fighting for you?" He grab me and pulled me towards his car. "Mariz?"

"Hmmm?"

"Ahhmm." Hindi siya makapagsalita. "Ahh. Wala."

"Bayun." I frowned at him. "Ano nga yun?"

"Wala. Where are we going by the way?" He asked.

"Follow that cars." I said as I pointed the cars at our front. Laman nun ang mga kaibigan namin. We are going to escape. Remember? We are going on a trip tomorrow, pero mukhang mas napa-aga pa. I just wanna relax my mind from the stress I'm experiencing.

Habang nagdadrive si James ay napaisip ako sa mga bagay bagay. Bakit ko ba dinisobey yung parents ko? Lagi silang nanjan para sakin pero sinaktan at pinahiya ko lang sila.

Ganun ko ba kamahal si James? Oo siguro. Araw-araw hatid samin, araw-araw date. Araw-araw na compliments at damang dama ko ang pagmamahal niya sa mga araw na yun. Hindi ko alam pero mahal ko tong lalaking to. At habang tumatagal ay nahuhulog ako sa kanya.

Maiintindihan naman siguro ako ng pamilya ko hindi ba? Lalo na sila mama at papa. May mahal akong iba kaya alam kong maiintindihan nila ako hindi man ngayon pero balang-araw siguro.

Hindi ko parin maisip na kaya gawin sakin ng parents ko yun. As what I can see, ay masaya kami at walang problema. Hindi gagawin ng parents ko yun kung walang mali.... Baka meron silang hindi sinasabi samin..

Napasigh nalang ako ng malalim. Sa ngayon ay hindi ko muna poproblemahin yang mga bagay na yan. Stress lang yan, pero alam ko pagbalik ko na madami akong haharapin.
