Still The One (Completed)

#1 Misunderstanding

I left dumbfounded, hindi ko akalain na iba pala ang tinutukoy niya.

Akala ko talaga ay dahil sa parehas kaming pasado sa entrance exam ng kolehiyong gustong-gusto naming pasukan.

"Oi Denisse, tulala ka na! Hindi ka ba natutuwa na kami na ni Zion?"

She's asking in a worried voice. I force myself to smile.

"Masaya ako.....masaya ako para sayo."

Sabi ko then pumasok na sa room. Ewan ko ba kung bakit lahat ng excitement at tuwa ko ay biglang nadrained.

Bakit hindi ko magawang matuwa para sa kanya? Best friend niya ako, and I know masaya siya kay Zion kaya dapat sinusuportahan ko siya. Pero bakit parang end of the world na ang feeling ko. Even if there's no such thing.

Ala ang OA mo na Denisse.

Hay...siguro masyado lang akong napaparanoid.  Hindi kasi kami madalas magkasama nitong mga nakaraang araw. At I think mapapadalas pa nitong susunod na mga araw.

Sanay na akong siya lagi ang kasama ko. I want to hate Zion pero I know he has nothing to do with this. Argh!!! Why do I sound so selfish?

Pumikit ako at yumuko sa lamesa ng upuan ko.

It's her life. She can do what she want.

I told myself.

"Oi, Denisse? Okay ka lang ba talaga?"

Tanong ni Micah na nakaupo na pala sa tabi ko.

Hala! Denisse you're being obvious! Mahiya ka nga sa kaibigan mo!

Sabi ko sa isip ko. Iniangat ko ang mukha ko then I look at her.

"Okay lang ako Micah.."

I assured her. Yinakap niya ako.

"Thank you Denisse, I thought magagalit ka kasi hindi ko sinabi agad.. I love you besty!!!"

I just smiled and hug her back.

"Whoa!! Thanks for the treat Micah! You and Zion are really cute together!"

Mark exclaimed and it makes my best friend blushed. I look at Zion expression too. It seems that he was pleased about what mark said awhile ago.

Magkatabi sila ngayon and I'm on the opposite of them.

"Oi...Denisse, parang gustong ilibing ng buhay si Zion ah. Tatalim ng tingin mo sa kanya te.."

Jasmine whispered but it almost heard by everybody. Nanlaki ang mata ko at tinakpan ang bibig niya.

"Shot up.."

I said in a low voice. Itinaas niya ang kamay niya as a sign na she will shot up kaya I let go of her big mouth. Sorry medyo harsh.

"Paano ba yan denisse, I think you need to find another bestfriend na..."

Mandy grinned. Kaklse namin siya and she's with us.

" mukhang hindi ka na maasikaso ni Micah oh she's---"

"No!!"

Micah and I said in chorus. We look at each other then laugh until everybody laugh. Except him, the boy named Zion. He just smile a little bit which I think it's not genuine.

Sounds like I'm being judgemental here. What am I observing this guy?

Actually we were eight people here hindi sumama yong iba naming kaklase, kaya ako, si Micah, si Jasmine, si Mark, si Mandy, yong kambal na si Glen at si Gabby and si Zion.
