Just Friends [Boys Love]

CHAPTER 16

NEIL

"Hi Neil." Bati ni Rose nang makita ko siyang nakatayo sa harapan ko.

"Hello." Maikling sagot ko at ibinaling ang tingin ko sa phone ko. Umusog ako sa aking kinuupuan dahil parang may balak siyang makikiupo.

Nandito kami ngayon sa Cafeteria. We were all busy on our phones today because we don't have lessons to study. Saka break time rin namin ngayon, kaso pare-pareho ata kaming walang balak kumain.

"Pumunta ka na ba sa Univ?" She asked. I just give a nod. "Bakit hindi mo ako sinama?" The disappointment is shouting on her voice.

Right! Sandali akong napatigil sa pagtype sa phone ko. "Absent ka ulit nung Monday, kaya hindi kita na-inform." I reasoned out, without even looking at her. Sa gilid ng mga mata ko napatango lang siya at inilabas rin ang phone niya.

I keep looking on my phone because I was busy chatting with Kate.

Kate: Lahh ang corny mo parin. Mag aral kana nga! XD

Me: Pag-aaralan kita. :))

Me: Kiligin ka! Please!

The smile plastered on my face won't fade while I was typing for my reply.

"Baby, ano ito?"

I stopped laughing and looked at Rose. She placed her phone in front of me and there I saw the stolen shots of me with Kate. Ang location kung saan nakuha ang picture ay doon sa University. Sa litrato hawak-hawak ko ang chin ni Kate habang pinupunasan ang kanyang mukha at 'yung isa naman ay noong magkasama kaming naglalakad.

Sandaling kumunot ang noo ko at napatingin sa kaniya? Is someone spying on me? Napatingin ako sa mga kaibigan ko, wala silang ibang nasabi kung 'di ang magkibit-balikat lamang.

"Can you tell me who is this girl?" I turned my gaze on Rose when she speak again. She was already pointing at Kate on the screen.

I put a smile on my face while looking at her. "A friend." I answered and looked down on my phone, dahil may nagpop-up na message.

Kate: Corny mo talaga!!! Baboy! HAHAHA

"This is trending now." She said.

I lift up my head again and looked at her. Not even surprised. It is trending right now? Tatlong araw na ang nakakalipas ngayon lang magti-trending? This means only one thing, that someone is stalking me. Umiling ako. "It can't be?" I rolled my eyes.

"Can't be... what?" She looked at me so confused.

Umiling akong muli. There's must be one, who's watching me. But why would they make an issue about me going out with a girl? Kaibigan ko lang naman si Kate, bakit napakalaking issue na sa kanila 'yon? Maybe Rose who posted this one, but I can't just pin point her, or maybe one of my friends?

I traveled my gaze to my friends, sabay sabay nagtaasan ang kanilang mga kilay.

"Whatever the hell it is. Wala kaming alam diyan." Gail suddenly said.

Tumingin ako kay Mark. "Kilala mo ako Neil," he pointed himself. "Hindi ko magagawa sa 'yo 'yan."

Sunod na nabaling ang tingin ko kay Kurt. "D-Don't look at me," he looks nervous. "Hindi ko 'yan gawain!" He defended himself.
