Unruly Choice of Fate (COMPLETE)

"H-He's lying!" I responded after a minute of speechlessness.

But it was already too late.

"But he won't say it if it wasn't true!" Some girl retorted.

Hindi ko nagawang depensahan agad ang sarili ko kaya naman mabilis na na-misunderstood ng mga nakarinig kay Kaizer ang naging katahimikan ko! He caught me off guard! Now they're convinced that we are really together!

Tumayo ako. Now that I'm heated up, I don't think I can keep my calm. Kaya sigurado na akong mapapatulan ko na ang nagsalita, pero agad akong pinigilan ni Krisha. Hinila niya ako sa braso at hinarangan.

"Kate, it's useless to fight for this nonsense. Malapit na ang Universities Sports Competition! You can't be involve in any dispute or you'll be disqualified. We'll lose the game!"

I literally forgot about that.

Bumuntong hininga ako. "Tangina. I'm so pissed, dang it!"

"Let's just go. Pag-isipan muna ang gagawin. Cool your head, alright?"

Tumango ako. Muli akong huminga ng malalim at napamasahe sa sintido ko. I was just happy a while ago and now...

Umiling ako at mabilis na naglakad palabas ng canteen. Sinusundan ako ng tingin ng lahat na mas lalo kong kinainisan.

That man! Alam niya siguro ns ayoko ng atensyon, at mas lalong ayoko na pinag-uusapan ako. And he used it!

"I wasn't expecting that." Gulat na sabi ni Jewel habang nakasunod sila sa akin.

"You know how he got the top position here in Zahara, right? Because he's a cunning jerk who always have his own ways to get what he fucking want." I answered, still pissed.

I heard them sighed. Tahimik naman si Marie na nakahawak sa braso ko. She looks concern.

"Anong gagawin mo ngayon? Paniguradong magiging laman ka ng usapan." She said,

"Hindi lang 'yan. Baka ma-feature ka pa sa school news paper and magazine! 'The mighty president of supreme student government is in a relationship with the ace of the volleyball team, Katelian Salazar!"

"Don't tease her more, Krisha. Malapit na nga sumabog 'yan, e."

Krisha pursed her lips, pero hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang pagtawa niya.

"Sorry. It's just really funny how Kaizer manage to irritate our queen here."

I rolled my eyes. Nakakainis man, pero tama siya. Mataray ako pero hindi ako mabilis mapikon. Only few people knows how to really get on my nerves, like my friends. So it is really surprising that he knows me enough to do this.

Pumasok kami sa klase at umupo sa upuan namin.

Kung noon walang masyadong pumapansin sa akin, ngayon ay lahat nakatingin. Lahat sila parang umaasa ng salita mula sa akin tungkol sa nalaman nila kani-kanila lang.

"Kailan pa naging kayo?" Kalabit sa akin ng isang babae sa likuran ko.

They all heard it. At At lahat sila ay nag-aantay sa sagot ko.

"Hindi kami." Simpleng sagot ko at nagtangis bagang.

The only thing that's stopping me from grabbing her hair is the USC. Damn it.

Pero katulad na lang ng nangyari sa canteen, hindi nila ako pinaniwalaan.

"That's impossible! Si Kaizer na ang nagsabi sa lahat tapos tatanggi ka pa? Sinungaling ka! Hindi mo ba alam na maswerte ka dahil ikaw pa lang ang naging official girlfriend niya?" A girl on the corner said that.
