Sapphire Academy: School of Nobles

Chapter 50

"And?"

"It seems like he is really dating Claire..." I said. "Were they close the past years? I mean... Are they like laughing with each other, going out..."

"How would I know?" tamad na tanong ni Grant. "I really don't care about the people around me."

Inangilan ko siya. Kasi oo nga pala! He doesn't really care about anyone and anything! I shouldn't be surprised at all.

Pag lulubog ang barko tapos papipiliin siya kung sino ang ililigtas niya, sigurado akong dalawang beses niyang pipiliing iligtas ang sarili niya. That's Grant Saavedra.

Medyo blessing pa na kinakausap at tinutulungan niya ako.

Malalim akong huminga habang naiisip na baka si Jax at Claire na nga talaga.

"He didn't even wait for me..." I ranted.

Grant looked at me like I was pitiful. "Maybe he didn't, but someone else sure did."

Mahina ang boses niya kaya hindi ko iyon narinig masyado. "What?"

"Wala, sabi ko, panget ka kasi."

Inirapan ko siya at nagpatuloy na lang sa paghahanap. Tignan mo ang pag-uugali!

"I told myself that I'll accept it if he already loves someone else. That I'll be happy for him... But why can't I do it now?"

Malalim na huminga si Grant. His eyes were dark, like it was saying something that I couldn't comprehend.

"We always say na kung saan sila masaya, roon tayo. Pero ang nasa isip natin is bakit hindi na lang sa 'tin?" Grant said and looked at me intently. "Bakit hindi na lang sa 'kin?"

My mouth formed a circle because he was right. Grant was right.

We always want happiness for the people that we love, but we can't help not to think about why it can't be with us?

Malapit na kami sa dulo ni Grant pero bigla naming nakasalubong si Xuri.

"Saan ka galing? Kanina pa kita hinahanap! Malapit na ang finale song!" Xuri said out loud.

"Nawawala kasi yung necklace and watch ko, I think I lost it kanina sa game..."

"Hala!" Xuri shouted and grabbed my arm. "Naku, bakit mo kasi hinubad pati 'yong monitoring watch mo? Tara, hanapin natin!"

Naghiwahiwalay kaming tatlo para mas mabilis ang paghahanap. It's been a few minutes at nakakaramdam na ako ng pagod pero wala pa rin akong nakikita.

Hinanap ko ang dalawa pero mas nauna kong nakita si Grant. Nakapaluhod siya sa isang sulok. I was immediately touched. Aw, he's so invested on finding my things!

Umuwang ang bibig ko nang makitang hindi pala siya naghahanap. He was petting a duck. A baby duck! Oh my God, Grant Saavedra!

"W-What are you doing?" I asked, still very shocked and surprised.

"I found a duckling," he said and madly starring at it. The baby duck was starring at him too like they have a deep connection!

"Are you serious?"

Tumayo siya at nginusuan ako. "She's following me everywhere... I can't leave her behind."

Mas lalo akong napanganga. "How did you even know that it's a she?"

"I just assumed..." he said and even carried the duckling.

Grant looked like he was so attached to it already. Parang ilang minuto lang kami na naghiwa-hiwalay, ah! My gosh!
