Always and Forever (based on The Vampire Diaries and The Originals)

21. She Came Back

Kaya medyo bobo talaga ako ngayon. Aapak ako sa College ng wala manlang alam dahil limang buwan akong hindi nag aral.

"Goodmorning, I'm your class professor."

Pumasok ang isang hot, gwapo at matangkad na lalake sa aming classroom. Kinailangan ko pa syang tignan mula ulo hanggang paa nang maglakad sya sa aming harapan.

I'm sorry, I'm really a descriptive person.

May sinulat sya sa blackboard namin sa harapan. Daniel Vergara. A new person in town, huh?

"You look really fascinated." Ani Brenna at naupo na sa tabi ko. Humagikgik ako at binati kaagad sya.

"Even his name screams handsomeness, isn't it?" Tawa ko. "Daniel Vergara." I read his name. "What will we call you? Sir or Mr. Vergara or Mr. Daniel?" Tanong ko sa kanya. His 'handsome' eyes darted at me.

"Sir is the easiest way to pronounce my name." He smiled. Ngumiti din ako sa kanya.

"Stop...flirting." Bulong ni Brenna. Tumawa ako.

"I am not."

Brenna

Nothing extraordinary.

O talagang nasanay kami masyado noong isang taon na nagsimula ang school year ng talaga namang nakakagulat na pangyayari?

Linaro ko ang wine sa aking baso. I tried to pull the liquid up. Pinanood ako ni Hayley at manghang-mangha sya samantalang bored na bored ako sa ginagawa.

"I need to learn more." I uttered. Ininom ko kaagad ang alak na nasa baso ko.

"Why don't you read my palm, instead?" Linahad nya ang kanyang kamay sa akin. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm tired at reading your palm. I told you, nothing special and shocking." Iritadong sabi ko at nagsalin muli ng maiinom. She sighed. Hinawakan nya ang kanyang kamay at pinaikot doon ang kanyang daliri.

"Nakakainis. Wala manlang bang bago." Bagot na aniya. "This is so boring! If I knew staying here would be this boring then I shouldn't have stayed." Aniya. Inirapan ko kaagad sya.

"You want to leave town for good and do not come back then?" Ismid ko. Ngumuso sya at isang beses na umiling. Pinaningkitan ko sya ng mata. "And for your information, this is not boring, Hayley. It's normal. Nasanay ka lang sa mga kakaibang pangyayari noong nakaraang taon kaya na bo-bore ka na ngayon. This is what normal people do." Singhap ko sa kanya.

"Normal people do bars too!" Para bang may nasindihang bumbilya sa kanyang ulo nang sabihin nya iyan. "Come on, then. Let's do bars..." she rolled her eyes. Umiling kaagad ako. I don't know if she's mocking me or she's being sarcastic o talagang namana na nya kay Ysabel ang pagiging 'bitch'.

"I'm waiting for Joshua." I uttered instead.

Nawala kaagad ang ngiti sa kanyang labi nang sabihin nya iyan.

"He's fine, Bren. Nothing abnormal, really. He's not a kid anymore, stop baby sitting him." Aniya. Kunot noo ko syang nilingon.

Joshua has been off to us since that incident. He became cold and he doesn't speak much. That's not the normal Joshua that I knew.
