One Person, Three Identities [COMPLETED]

Chapter 18

DARELL

"Ano na kayang ginagawa nung dalawa?" Tanong ni Naomi. We're currently here sa sala, nanonood ng kung anong movie na napili nila. Well except for the two and Kurt who's knocked out.

"Knowing Jared? By now, maybe they're—"

"Try continuing what you're about to say." Gigil na saad ni Xenia. Napailing na lang ako. Nakainom nga pala 'tong babaeng 'to, mas lalong nagiging war freak.

"Saan ka pupunta?" Tanong ko kay Cody nang makita kong tumayo siya.

"Upstairs, I'll just make sure na okay lang silang dalawa."

CODY XANDER

Malalagot talaga sa 'kin yang si Jared kapag may ginawa siya kay Alexa. Napaka-protective bang pakinggan? Inaalala ko lang kasi talaga si Alexa dahil baka mamaya... nevermind.

Pagkarating ko sa tapat ng kwarto ni Alexa ay agad kong binuksan ang pinto niya. Nang buksan ko ang pinto ay nakarinig ako ng mahinag 'thud' at malakas na 'booogsh'.

Dumungaw ako sa loob ng kwarto at inilibot ang paningin sa buong kwarto. "Jared, siguraduhin mo lang na wala kang ginagawa na kung ano kay Ale—" Napatigil ako sa pagsasalitanang madako sa sahig ang paningin ko.

Nandon pala silang dalawa... Magkadikit ang labi habang nakapatong si Jared kay Alexa. WHAT THE HELL?!

"What was that?" Narinig kong tanong ni Naomi na hindi ko alam na sinundan pala ako. Natauhan din ako nang marinig ko ang boses niya.

"WHAT THE F*CK?!" Sabay-sabay na sigaw nila nang masilip din nila ang nakita ko. Mga chimoso't chismosa, tsk.

"Wow bro, nagbibiro lang ako sa mga sinasabi ko kanina pero hindi ko akalaing totoo pala." Natatawang puna ni Kyle. Napailing na lang ako lalo na nang tarayan na naman ito ni Xenia.

"Shut the hell up, Kyle!" Naman oh, wala bang time out dito sa dalawang 'to?

Mukhang ngayon lang din natauhan yung dalawa dahil aligaga silang tumayo.

"It's not what you all think it is." Jared defended while looking at us straight in the eye. While Alexa, on the other hand, was standing almost a meter away from Jared with her head hanged low.

I can't see her face but her ears are a little red, which I'm guessing, was because of embarrassment.

JARED ASHTON

Hindi ko alam kung anong sumapi sa akin at bigla ko siyang hinalikan!

"WHAT THE F*CK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Xandra yelled as she pushed me away completely off of her.

"Don't cuss. It doesn't match your sweet lips."

"I can effin' cuss when I want to. Why would you even care? Just mind your own damn business and f*cking leave my freakin' life alone!"

"Xandr—" I was cut off when the door suddenly opened and bumped onto my back that threw me off balance and caused me to fall towards Xandra. We ended upon the floor as our lips met, again.

"Jared, siguraduhin mo lang na wala kang ginagawa na kung ano kay Ale—" Napatigil yung nagsasalita, siguro nakita na niya yung pwesto namin.

"What was that?"

"WHAT THE F*CK?!" Narinig ko namang sabay-sabay na sigaw nila which completely woke me up.

"Wow bro, nagbibiro lang ako sa mga sinasabi ko kanina pero hindi ko akalaing totoo pala." Pang-aasar ni Kyle nang makatayo na kami ni Xandra.

"Shut the hell up, Kyle!" Narinig ko namang pagtataray ni Xenia.

"It's not what you all think." Pagpapaliwanag ko. Napatingin naman ako sa gawi ni Xandra and I saw her na nakayuko.

ALEXANDRA HENRIETTE

This is so embarassing! The f*ck!

"Oh, Alexa. Don't hide yourself darlin', haha." Narinig kong pang-aasar ni Vivianne. That made me send deathly glares at her. Tama bang i-point out niya pa? Kaibigan nga naman.

"Hehe, sabi ko nga wala na kong sinabi. Tara na guys tulog na, anong oras na oh." She said and ushered everyone else to leave. Buti naman.

Bago pa magsalita si Jared ay dali-dali ko na siyang tinulak palabas ng kwarto ko at nilock ang pinto.

KINABUKASAN...

JARED ASHTON

Yesterday, everyone woke up late, really late. And no one spoke of what happened, takot lang nila. Buti nga at yung mga maiingay, *ehem* mainly Xenia, may hangover kaya wala sa mood makipagsagutan kay Kyle.

*knock**knock*

"Come in." Sabi ko habang nakahiga pa rin sa kama ko.

Kagigising ko lang kasi and it's still early before school starts kaya 'di pa ako bumabangon.

"Jared..." Napa-upo ako at napalingon sa pinanggalingan ng boses. And there she was, standing behind the door, looking anywhere but me, Xandra.

"If you keep acting like that, I'd think that you're back, your memories I mean."

"Why?" she asked as she finally looked at me.

"Because, you always do that whenever someone got mad at you or you've been embarrassed. Especially with your fidgeting, picking on your nails." I said, almost dreamingly. Thinking about the times back when we were younger.

"Anyways, is there any problem? Do you need something?" Pag-iiba ko ng topic and also deciding not to open up what happened yesterday.

"I just want to clear things up."

"Shoot."

"About what happened."

I hummed, ushering her to continue.

"I uhm..."

"It's okay. Take your time. I told you, I can wait." I said, hoping she'd relax.

"So, ayaw mong sagutin kita ngayon?" Kita mo 'to bipolar na naman.

"It's not like that, Xandra. Ang sinasabi ko lang naman ay 'wag mong madaliin ang sarili mo, like how you're hesitating earlier. I's understand. Don't get me wrong, gustong-gusto ko na sagutin mo na ako. Ang inaalala ko lang naman ay ikaw. I don't want it if it's stressing you out too much."

"I can take care of myself, thank you very much. Ha. Look, I decided to give 'us' a chance. I've already said it yesterday. Now, the only problem left is whether you'll accept it or not." I can't help but grin. Kinikilig ako!

"Of course! I'll accept!" Okay, maybe that came out too strong.

"Papayag din naman pala, gusto pang magpakipot. Dami pang pinagsasabi." Bulong nito and I caught her roll her eyes.

"What did you say?" I asked her.

"Wala. Sabi ko, basta tayo na." Sabi niya saka lumabas ng kwarto.

Ibang klase. Shet! Kinikilig talaga ako!
