Red Strings Entanglement

CHAPTER 8

"Sure." I smiled at him. "Jewelry Grace Smith. Just call me Jewel. I don't want anyone calling me Grace."sabi ko at naglahad ng kamay at tinanggap niya naman ito.

"Jewel."sambit niya sa aking pangalan."Can we have lunch together?"

"Uhh-"Magsasalita na sana ako nang biglang may tumawag sa akin.

"Jewel."

"Carter."gulat kong sabi. He marched towards us and moved me away from Damon. I gazed at him, perplexed, and Damon looked confused.

"Sino ka?Inaaway mo ba si Jewel?"

"Huh? Wh-what? No, of course not!"mabilis na sabi ni Damon.

"Mabuti, dahil kapag ginawa mo iyon ay ako ang papatay sayo."sabi ni Carter at tinignan nang masama si Damon. 

What's happening?

"Calm down, Carter," I said. The last thing I want is a war between the two of them and we would be sent to the dean's office. And I don't want to see him there, smirking and teasing me that I just flirted with two boys.  "Si Damon lang iyan, iyong nakilala ko sa cafe."

"Is he your boyfriend?"Damon asked and pointed to Carter.

"No. We're just friends."sabi ko at ramdam ko na napatingin sa akin si Carter.

"Oh."

"Hoy! Ano kaba Carter?! Nakakahiya ka!"sabi ni Amber at binatukan si Carter at ngumiti kay Damon.

"Aray!Ang sakit non!"inis niyang sabi at hinawakan ang kanyang batok.

"Hi!"sabi ni Natasha at naglahad ng kamay kay Damon at tinanggap naman niya ito. "Natasha nga pala, kaibigan ni Jewel."

"Sapphire."

"Amber."

"Damon."

"Woah!Ang ganda ng pangalan mo, parang mafia!" sabi ni Sapphire at pumalakpak.

"Thanks, I guess." He rubbed his nape, looking awkward.

"Don't worry. Hindi niyo na makikita kami, lalo na ang lalaking 'to."sabi niya at tinuro si Carter.

 "Enjoy your date."sabi nilang tatlo at ngumisi sa akin.

"Its not a date."I argued, but they left us alone with wide grins on their faces."Sorry about them."He smiled. Pumunta na kami sa cafeteria at pagpasok namin sa loob ay maraming nakatingin sa amin.

"Why is everyone staring at us?" tanong ni Damon pero hindi ako sumagot at umiwas lang ng tingin. Mukhang hindi niya alam ang ginawa ko. Umupo kami sa isang table sa gilid."So, what do you want to eat?"

"Kahit ano."sagot ko. Tumango ito at umalis upang bumili. 

"You look uncomfortable, is it because of me?"

"H-hindi. Iyong mga nakatingin sa atin."sagot ko kaya napatango ito.

"Huwag mo na sila pansinin."

"May ginawa kasi ako, kaya ganyan sila sa akin."I confessed and his brows furrowed.

"What did you do?" tanong niya at sinabi ko sa kanya ang nangyari. "Woah!So you were that girl?"he sound amazed, by what I did. "I'm sorry, many were talking about the woman who punched Jace." tawa niyang sabi. "If only I saw that, I would have recorded it." Mukhang masaya siya sa nangyari, pero bakit?Magkaibigan ba sila?

"Are you friends with him?"

"No, we're not friends." sabi niya at umiwas ng tingin. Pagkatapos namin kumain ay hinatid ako ni Damon sa computer room. Maraming nakatingin sa akin ng ihatid ako ni Damon.
