Erica's POV

Ayeeeeeeee finally umamin na rin si Jun kay Abby and Ial is with Lay also Rix is with Everly. Kami nalang ni Paolo at Jeyan ang forever single huhuhu. Should I ask Paolo out or maybe Jeyan thinking the same, I saw her keep glancing at Paolo from time to time well can you blame her Paolo is smoking HOT! Kahit naman may pagmalikutin ang kamay non sulit naman hahaha ang landi mo Rica achuchuchu.

Everly and Abby is baking at the kitchen na pagdesisyunan kasi naming bisitahin si Maureen. Tomorrow will be the Class King and Queen so Ial and Lay couldn’t come with us dahil kailangan din nilang magpahinga.

“Were done” Everly said joyfully. Ang bango ng ginawa nila pwede tumikim?

“Can I have some?” I said trying to choose between the cookies in the table.

“Hands off!” Abby yelped at tinampal pa nito ang kamay ko so I can’t help but to pout.

Jeyan help them pack the cookies, tsk ang dadamot ninyo. I glared at Abby but she just chuckled. Hindi naman iyan ganyan ang stern kaya niya but look at her smiling happily. Eh di sana all may jowa.  Bumaling ang tingin ko kay Paolo and when he look at me I tuck a hair in my ear and wink at him hehehe. Makuha ka sa tingin oppa!

Akala ko ngingiti siya o di kaya matutuwa pero expressionless ang luko I glanced at Jeyan whose making some weird noises at ang luka tinawanan ako. Nakita niya iyun, walanghiya ka self.

After they finished packing we decided to go to the hospital. Pagkapasok namin sa room naabutan naming nagyayakapan ang dalawa, diba sana all. Ang daming sana all ko dito.

“Surpriseeeeee!” I screamed kaya ayun napabitaw sila agad. Tsk para namang sekreto iyun sa amin.Well, I never seen Chan being close with someone specially to a girl kahit naman minsan nakikita ko sila dalawa ni Stacey na magkasama there’s still a distance between them, hindi ko maipaliwanag it’s like Chan is holding back even Stacey keep pushing herself to him.

“Nakakagulat ka Erica” saway ni Jun. Kontrabida talaga ito sa buhay ko eh pakialam ba niya.

“Surprise nga diba kailangan ka nakakita ng surprise na hindi nakakagulat eh di na surprise iyun ang bobo mo talaga”

“Wow baka nakalimutan mo Class A ako. CLASS A”

“Yabang mo Class A rin naman ako at hindi ako nagyayabang. Ang kaibahan lang natin ako maganda at matalino eh ikaw maganda lang. And hephephep Oo maganda, magandang lalake ka. Siguro naawa si Abby sa iyo kaya ka pinabigyan dahil walang nagkakagusto sayo sa school natin. Psh”

He glared at me at aakmang susuntukin ako ng tinignan siya ni Abby ng masama kaya ayun tiklop. Sabi ko nga bakla siya. Pinandilataan na lamang niya ako ng mata kaya hindi ko na pinansin bakla naman siya.

“Hello Maureen, sorry ngayon lang kami nakadalaw busy kasi dahil sa Holiday Crest” Everly said.

“Okay lang, sorry nga pala at hindi ko kayo natulungan ayaw pa kasi akong paalisin ng mga magulang ko rito feeling ko nga rito na nila ako patitirahin” Maureen said.

Natawa naman kami sa sinabi nito. Abby walks towards her handing Maureen the cookies they baked.

“Sorry nga pala sa mga sinabi ni Stace saiyo ah. Her mother told me about what happened kaya ako na ang humihingi ng despensiya sa ginawa niya” aniya.

Why may nangyari ba sa kanila? I need an updateeeee!

Pumunta ako sa gilid ni Jeyan.

“Anong nangyari?” I whispered to Jeyan baka marinig pa nilang makikichismis ako. Andito pa naman si Paolo sa gilid baka maturn off sa akin.

“Hindi ko rin alam eh” ika nito.

Ano bayan bestfriend daw sila pero hindi alam ang nagyayari sa kaibigan nito. Ako nga alam lahat ng nangyayari sa mga kaibigan ko tsk.

“Makichismis ka nga” pagalit kung sabi rito.

“Si Stacey at Maureen ang may problema labas na si Abby doon ikaw talaga”

Kahit na! Its chismosa’s right to know all the things around her. Kaya nga chismosa diba!

“Chismosa ka rin diba?”

Ngunit imbes na sagutin ang tanong ko she shugged me off by waving her hand in my face. Tsk.

“Thank you” Abby said.

Ano na ba pinagusapan nila? Ayan tuloy hindi ko na narinig paguusap nila.

I saw Rix putting the fruits in the side table at bumalik kay Everly, I saw him held her hand secretly pero of course hindi na secret nakita ko eh. Nakita ko rin ang minsang pagsulyap-sulyap ni Jun kay Abby and Jeyan flirting to Paolo. Actually naguusap lamang ang dalawa kung titignan mo but knowing it’s Jeyan nah iba na iyun. Chandler on the other hand, caresses Maureen’s hair.

Oh diba sana all.

Stacey’s POV

Some people are meant to exist for you to know where your place is. Chandler was never been mine. The thought of being deceived by someone you love is really painful. All I can picture now is Duke who’s tearing with his lips roses a bit to smile.

I confronted Chandler’s parents to know whether he said was true at hindi ko alam kung ano talaga ang gusto kung marinig ang katotohanan na si Duke talaga iyun o  nagsisinungaling lang si Chandler para makawala sa akin.

A knock from the door made me stop from thinking. It is James who entered the room.

“Anong ginagawa mo rito?” tanong ko rito.

“You’re crying again” he said it in a flat voice na para bang sigurado talaga ito sa sinabi niya.

“So what?”

“Tsk. Being dumped by a guy was never been the end of the world so cheer up”

Dumped? Am I really?

“I’m not crying because I was rejected I’m just hurt about the truth” the truth that he deceived me. Kung sinabi kaya niya iyun noon may magbabago ba?

“What if he really likes me and his just hurt because he thought that my feelings is for Duke. If not, maybe his feeling guilty. I can change that I’ll show him how I realy like him an-“

“You’re stupid”

“What?”

“Wake up Stace! Si Maureen ang gusto niya you can’t change a man’s heart after he proclaimed what his heart’s calling. Chandler is not the kind of man who changes his heart easily at kahit pa ganun there’s always that part of a guy who wants the same girl. Alam ko iyun Stace, alam ko iyun.”

What does he know? Did my bestfriend fell in love?

“I always wanted to get rid of my feelings to a girl because I knew her heart belongs to someone else. And I never got the chance to tell her how I really feel. Kahit sinuman ang kasama naming mga lalake kung talagang na sa puso na namin ang babaeng gusto we can’t help but to think of her over and over again. We can’t help but to fell in love with the person we love. Kaya kahit ibaling pa ni Chandler ang atensiyun niya sa iyo there’s always a part of him that Maureen’s possess and with a man like him I don’t think it’s only a part but certainly his whole”

Damn. Why can’t I just accept that it’s a game over. Na hinding-hindi na magiging akin si Chandler. And why is my bestfriend hurting so much?

“Why are you like that James? Do you like someone?”

Bobo mo Stace kasasabi lang diba. He looked at me intently as if I’m going to slip away any second. But why would he?

“I do and I knew I could change her heart because his not a man” natatawa nitong ika.

I wipe my tears as he held both of my arm.

“I like you Stacey. Please forget about Chandler and Duke because this time that you got hurt by them I think it’s my time to take advantage of your pain” he said smirking at me and motioned himself towards me.

The moment our lips met my system becomes weak and lethargic.

Damn. What should I do?
