Red Strings Entanglement

CHAPTER 26

And somehow, while I answered my exams, a smile lingered on my lips.

"Sana all nakangiti sa exam."sabi ni Amber pagkatapos namin mag take sa exams. We were currently walking in the campus and on our way to our home.

"Baka inspired."Sapphire nudged me and I rolled my eyes. Kanino naman? Kay Jace? As if!

"How am I supposed to be inspired?"

"You never know."says Natasha and giving glances to my side. Kumunot ang noo ko at tiningnan kung ano meron sa tabi ko. And there I saw Jace getting in his car. He ruffled his hair before entering his car. Nanlaki ang mata ko at mabilis na tinignan ng masama si si Natasha. Which they just laughed at me.

"Shut up."

"She's not denying it."says Sapphire. "Crush mo na siya no?"A scoff escapes my lips.

"Never."I said. "We're enemies. That's what we would always be."

"Hmm enemies daw."parinig ni Amber.

When we got home, I immediately went to my room and rest for hours. Wala akong ginawa kundi matulog lang upang mabalik ang enerhiya ko. Besides this is a way to reward myself after all the hardwork I thrived for.

Napagising lang ako na marinig ko ang ingay ng selpon ko. Like a sound of somebody calling. I opened my eyes and blink for a couple of seconds before reaching out to my desk to get my phone. There Isaw Jace calling me. My brows furrowed. Why is he calling me? Wala naman kaming group activities ah.

"Hello."

[Hey Jewel.]He sounded tired. I put my free hand around my stomach as I continue to lay in my bed and wonder why Jace is calling me.

"What's up?"

[Can you accompany me tomorrow?]

Why would I accompany him tomorrow?

"As a date?"I asked him, sarcastically.

"F*ck no."he said and laughed. He has a very attractive laugh and I begrudgingly admit it.

"Then what? As acquaintances?"I asked and a scoff escaped my lips. "Need I remind you that we are not getting along, Montezalde."

"Jessie wants you to come."he said. My eyes widen and I immediately change my mind. Si Jessie pala. "It's her performance tomorrow for the nutcracker."

Ballet.

"Sure."I immediately said. Hindi ko man lang tinignan ang schedule ko kung may duty ba ako sa cafe tomorrow. Wala naman siguro iyon.

"You're free right?"

"Yup."

"Okay. See you tomorrow."

"See you."I said and ended the call. Mabilis ko kinuha ang sched ko at tinignan ang mga gagawin ko bukas. I heaved a sigh when I saw that I was free tomorrow.

I put my phone down on my desk and decided to go back to sleep since I have to get ready for tomorrow.

"Where are you going?"Amber asked as I got out of my room wearing a white dress and white stilletos. My hair was up in a bun and a butterfly clip was placed in my hair.

"I'm gonna watch Jessie in her ballet."I answered.

"Jessie? The Dean's daughter?" Her brows furrowed. "So magkasama kayo ni Jace?"A smile appeared in her lips and she gave me a teasing look. She looks like a cheshire Cat. I rolled my eyes.

She's doing it again.

"So?"My right eyebrow arched.

"Ahh date pala."
