Me and My Boys VOLUME 1

Chapter 26 MIDDLE MAN-WOMAN

LATE SI BRYCE ng 20 minutes. Para pa siyang pagod nung dumating siya. Saan naman kaya siya nanggaling? Ni hindi siya tumingin sa akin. Why!!??

Whole afternoon na tahimik si Bryce. I mean, oo nga't everyday siyang ganoon pero this time kasi, tahimik siya na kahit 'mm' wala kang madinig mula sa kanya.

Is it my fault? Did I go too far? Nung nagring na ang last bell, I approached him.

"Uy, Bryce. Sorry na" I said sadly habang nakatayo sa harap niya then he stood up and I closed my eyes and waited for him to shout at me.

But he just put his hand on top of my head and I looked at him. I smiled then he smiled back and this time, yung sincere na smile.

"Sorry na?" I asked then he removed his hand.

"Bakit ka nagsosorry?"

"Mm" sabi ko at tumingin ako sa mga kamay kong nilalaro ko, "kasi ano.. nagiging pakealamera ako" I said.

"Normal lang yan, dahil magkaibigan tayo" he said and I slowly smiled at tumingin uli ako sa kanya.

Tumawa siya ng mahina habang hinawakan yung chin ko lightly then an arm went over our shoulders.

"Ba't kayo nagngingitiang dalawa huh?" tanong ni Nathaniel na nakaakbay sa amin.

Siniko siya ni Bryce at tinanggal ni Nathaniel yung kamay niya sabay sabi ng 'ouch'.

Naunang lumabas si Bryce at pinanood lang namin siya.

"Ano'ng problema nun?" tanong ni Nathaniel.

"Love problem" sabi ko ang we giggled like kids.

*ring *ring

"Wait lang ha" sabi ko kay Nathaniel and I answered my phone.

"Buti naman at sinagot mo! Kanina pa ako tumatawag!" sabi nung kabilang linya.

"Oops, sorry. Wazzup?"

"We need to meet. You and me" sabi niya.

"S-sure? Where? And when?"

"Now! Nasa harap ako ng school gate niyo!"

"Chill! Andyan na!" I said and turned off my phone, "sasabay ako kay Renee, bye!" sabi ko kina Jason and I sprinted out of the room as fast as I can.

Nandoon na nga si Renee sa harap ng gate at para pa siyang ninenerbyos.

"Bakit?" I asked nung nakalapit na ako sa kanya at medyo nagulat pa siya.

"Oh, I didn't see you there. Tara!" sabi niya at pinagbuksan niya ako ng door ng car niya and I went in without a question.

Sa Herina's kami dumeretsyo pero wala pa dun si Crystal, nasa school pa.

"So.." sabi ko nung nakaupo na kami.

"He came to my school!" sabi niya na parang horrified na horrified siya.

"And that is bad because??"

"Girl! That's trespassing! Mabuti nalang nakausap ko pa si principal na pagbigyan si Bryce. Ugh! Grabe girl! I was eating and then he bursted in our cafeteria and then-"

Tinakpan ko ang bibig niya.

"Wait!" sabi ko, "from the top please?"

She nodded at tinanggal ko yung kamay ko.

"We were in the cafeteria nga, and then we heard a commotion outside then the door bursted and he came in! syempre we were so surprise kasi nga ngakauniform parin siya and he looked so horrible! Alam mo yung parang papatay siya ng tao!?"
