25: Wrong Movie

25: Wrong Movie

Sam's POV

It's the last day of July. Fours days after the incident with Thomas. I still haven't heard any word from him. Well, I do but they're either through JC or Nica. It's crazy, you know.

I'm not feeling well today, but I am forcing myself to go to class. Well, I'm not sick. I just feel heavier maybe because it's a red day.

I took a really quick shower. I didn't blow dry my hair. I'm too lazy to do it. I picked out an old pair of skinny jeans and a plain salmon shirt, and I don't want to put any make-up on. I just used my Nivea lip balm for my lips. Dry lips is the least I want to have right. I looked at the mirror and I was horrific.

I know that I should be mindful of my attire, but my abdomen hurts so much that I just don't give a single care about anything in this world.

I went out of my room, and I saw JC munching on some pastry. I sat across him. He just looked at me like something is terribly wrong.

Sam: JC, wala pa rin?

JC: Sorry Sam ah. Wala pa rin talaga.

I saw on his face that he too was disappointed. It's been four days that no rose ever arrived. Maybe even my secret admirer got tired of me.

Sam: Hey. Cheer up. It's not that I am disappointed or something.

JC nodded and smiled at me.

JC: I'm your twin brother, Sam. And, there are times when I think I know you better than you know yourself.

I shook my head and faked a smile. I tried eating, but even my mouth can't take it.

JC: Hey, are you okay?

I nodded, but he didn't look convinced.

Sam: It's a red day, and as usual.

JC: Are you sure that you'll still go to class?

Sam: Yes. Don't worry about me, okay? I'm far from dying. I'll tell you when I feel like dying.

He chuckled. He sliced a bread, spread a spoonful of Nutella on it before handing it to me.

JC: C'mon. Once in a green moon lang yan.

Sam: Green?

JC: Animo La Salle!

I smiled at him, and continued eating. JC fed me more until I told him that I'm really full.

Sam: I'll see you later at lunch? Lunch is on Nica, right?

JC nodded. I kissed his cheek before I grabbed my bag and left the unit. I made my way to DLSU in a slow pace. My mind's bothered with too many things. First, I wonder why Thomas hasn't contacted me yet. Second... There's no second. No one makes me this bothered aside from Thomas Torres.

I arrived at my room with all of my classmates' eyes on me. I just shook my head and bowed my head. I don't want or need this much attention.

I took the empty seat beside Saab while she was giving me that look that says 'seriously?'

Sam: What?

Saab: Salmon? Really?

Sam: I've seen you wear something worse.

I said before I looked away. I heard her chuckle before she tapped my shoulder.

Saab: PMS?!

Sam: I would highly appreciate if you just shut up.
