Conflict and Love

Chapter 13: I won't give up on you anyway.

"Audrey! Where's Zach? What were you doing yesterday by the shore?"

"Are the campus princesses dating the campus princes?"

"Chantelle, I saw you with Kevin at he was slinging his arms on your shoulders, what's the status between you two?"

Blah blah blah. Ang daming curious. Buti nalang di nila kami iniipit. Dumating naman yung dalawa na mukhang nagulat.

"What's the commotion all about?" Naguguluhang tanong nila. I didn't mind them and just answered the people, who were asking, honestly.

"Kevin and I aren't dating. We were just putting up a prank, that's all." I said with a reassuring smile. Ayokong isipin nila na mag-on kami ng palakang 'yun. Eh hindi naman talaga eh. Finix marriage lang naman kami.

"Awww! Sayang naman! Bagay pa naman kayo."

"Yeah. Ang sad naman."

What? Akala ko magiging masaya sila kasi may pag-asa na sila kay Panget? Ang gulo. Hindi ko na maintindihan yumg mga tumatakbo sa mga utak nila.

Magsasalita na sana ako ulit nang may nauna na. "Ouch! Grabe ka naman. Bakit mo naman tinatago yung relationship natin, babe." Napatigil ako. I looked up at Kevin with confusion all over my face. What'd he just say?

He slung his arm on my shoulder and smiled  at the people..

"Ayiiiee! Oh my gosh !Sila na nga!"

"Ba't ka ba nahihiya na sabihin samin Chantelle? Schoolmate mo naman kami eh. OMG lang. Kiling much!"

"Same as it goes for Audrey and Zach! Look!" Napalingon kami kina Audrey na palabas na ng pinto. Dadaan ata sa back door.

But what caught my attention was their intertwined hands. What....the....

Amber and Nathan were nowhere to be found while Hazel and Luke were making their way through the crowd.

No one even noticed them! Gosh. Ginawa nila kaming distraction para makatakas sila! Huhuhuhu! Ang bad nila! Kevin slowly grabbed my hand and we both dashed off.

We hid behind the school while panting. We still have 2 hours pa naman. Grabe ang early namin sa school noh? Trip namin eh.

Pumunta nalang kami sa rooftop since may daanan naman dito. We took the elevator of course. Ano yun?Aakyatin namin yung 6-story building na 'to? Nuh-uh. Nakakapagod kaya. If we ever did that, I would be panting like crazy and my thighs would be burning like hell.

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa kanila yung totoo?" Kevin asked, breaking the silence between us.

"Kasi pag nalaman nila yung totoo, wala ng makikipaglandian sa'yo. Yun yung hobby mo eh and I don't want to stop you from being happy." Lumingon siya sakin, kahit na nakatingin lang ako sa door ng elevator, I can still feel his gaze on me kaya di ko na nakaya so tinignan ko na din siya.
