Chapter 22: His Confession
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Nakarating na kami sa venue. Everyone's eyes were glued to us. Pumarada ang kotse ni Cross sa harap ng bahay ng pinsan niya. Everyone needs to walk on the red carpet for picture taking. In-i-offer ni Cross ang kamay niya at inalalayan akong palabas. Humawak ako sa braso niya at umayos naman siya ng tayo. I saw ate Zia waving at me wearing her shining elegant gown.
Napapaypay ako sa sarili ko gamit ang sarili kong kamay. Halos lahat kasi ng mata ng mga family members ni Cross nakatingin sa akin. It's too overwhelming. Parang nalulula ako.
Pumunta na kami sa table. Si Cross lang ang kasama ko. Everyone was now dancing on the dance floor. Kakatapos lang kasi ng isang program. We're on the side watching everyone dancing with their date.
"Kry," Cross said.

Was everything a joke? Parang ang seryoso ni Basti sa mga sinabi niya pero anong nangyari? Hindi ko alam kung si Basti ba talaga ang kasama ko kahapon. The moment I saw him, he turns to a different person. Hindi niya man lang ako pinansin kanina sa grounds. Parang back to strangers ulit kami. Ano 'to? Trial lang?

"Anastasia High School is open for volleyball try-out," basa ko sa bulletin. Napataas lang ang kilay ko. I don't have any time for that. Ayaw ko nang makigulo pa kay Avis. Saka 'di ba, galit sa akin ang mga teammates niya. Lalo pa akong hindi makabalik sa Foster.Kakatapos lang ng klase namin at mag-isa lang akong naglakad papalabas ng room. Wala ako sa mood na siputin si Basti sa tutoring session. Naiinis ako sa kaniya. Cross doesn't get in touch with me these days. Parang iniiwasan niya ako.Biglang may humatak sa akin at nakita ko si Sebastian. Pinapasok niya ako sa kotse at agad niya 'yung ni-lock pagkapasok niya rin sa loob."Basti, ano ba?" sabi ko at pinalo siya sa braso.

If Love is Mischief Prologue
"Gosh, it’s too irritating!" I exclaimed.Azhter stared at me and laughed. I threw my heels on the floor and closed the door of my office. My hair was messed up because of that freaking drink. Hindi naman masarap! Azhter was sitting on my seat and proudly leaning on my chair. That, wench!"Move over. That's mine," I said irritatedly. I didn't have time to wait for him so I just laid on the sofa and massaged my forehead. Why didn't they tell me that the elevator stopped working? I have to take the stairs from the first floor to tenth floor."Where have you been?" Azhter asked with a smile on his face. He's the worst and most annoying cousin ever."At the coffee shop! I wanted to drink some frappe and my secretary was just too lazy to get it for me," I replied. Azhter crossed his eyebrows and stared at me."Silly, She's covering your absence for the past few days. Of course, she's busy.""So, you're now on her side? I have to buy m
If Love is Mischief Chapter One: His name is Philip
Kryzion's POVAvis's frowning face is what I saw on the other side of the court. My teammates on the volleyball team were already celebrating because we won this school tournament again. That girl probably envies me. Freaking Avis, a volleyball varsity player from a public university. Is there a favorable and adequate system in there?Her team approached us and Avis passed the ball to me smiling. "Congrats," she smirked while her teammates were on her back."Bunch of losers," I hissed and I threw the ball back at her. My team and I turned around and walked out of the court. They were nothing compared to us. Perhaps, does the school that Avis attends have a proper court to practice in? Whatever, they can't beat us anyway."Guys, we should celebrate!" I exclaimed. We are now in the locker room to change our clothes. I smirked when I heard my teammates praising me once again. Gosh, it's Kyrzion. I'm the captain of the volleyball
If Love is Mischief Chapter Two: Chaos
Philip and I were the only ones left. We're assigned to clean our room since we both got a detention slip. It's now four o'clock and our class ended an hour ago. I haven't eaten lunch and I'm not sure if we're just the same. I'm wiping the board while he's sweeping the floor. I have no idea what I'm doing. Wala ba silang maintenance rito at tagalinis ng classroom? "Hey, I'm sorry. Your time extended because of me," I apologized. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "You got chalk on your face," he assured. I looked into my mirror and wiped my cheeks using my handkerchief. I guess he'd already cleaned the whole classroom while I hadn't finished erasing the writing on the blackboard. It's my fault why he's still here with me. His cleaning time was supposed to be thirty minutes only. He took my side and I was relieved. He was the first person who believed me without judging my personality. "I'm done. Take care of the board so you can go home." He fixed

Chapter Three "What a troublemaker," I hissed. Naglalakad na kaming tatlo papunta sa highway. We were kicked out of that mini restaurant because of Azhter. Feeling niya siguro siya ang my knight in shining armor ko. My foot, he got no help. Everything was messed up because of him. Good thing that he paid for the damages. Lalo lang akong nagutom nang dahil sa kaniya. He spilt my pares while fighting with Philip. "I thought you're in basketball practice. Why barged in? How did you know I was there?" I asked. "I didn't know that guy was your classmate. My dad told me that you were transferred. I came to your school but you weren't there so I looked elsewhere," he replied and stared at Philip. "So, you're telling me that he's really your boyfriend?" Philip asked curiously. He has a bruise on the sid
If Love is Mischief Chapter Four: Miss Fruit Shake
Chapter Four It's eleven. Kanina pa ako kinakalabit ni Isaiah dahil hindi ko siya pinapansin. Math class namin ngayon at lalo lang sumasakit ang ulo ko. I don't think she likes me. Everyone hates me for good. Well, let's say except, Philip. But he wasn't around, he skipped the class after we went to school together. He took my hand and left Avis standing there. We ran together and I'm still wondering why he chose me. I looked at Isaiah. She's wearing glasses and I don't think she has friends. Not bad, she's also good at class. She's smart and kind. I haven't seen her around the cafeteria. Perhaps, she prefers being alone? "What do you want?" I asked and faced her. I looked at my classmates and they were all silently laughing at me. Tinuro ni Isaiah ang likod ko at doon ko nalaman na may nakadikit na papel. Kinuha ko ang papel at may nakalagay na word na

Third Person's POVParehas silang nasa loob ng kotse. Tahimik lang silang dalawa sa parking lot. Lizette still can't get over for what just happened lately. Second kiss na nila 'yon ni Basti. Everything was awkward. Nakasandal lang ang ulo ni Lizette sa bintana ng kotse dahil naiilang na siya sa mga titig ni Sebastian."Where were you these past few days?" Lizette asked calmly. Her curiosity was killing her. Ilang araw na absent si Jerome tapos ngayon lang siya nagpakita. Tumingin siya kay Basti na kanina pa siya tinitingnan."Hospital," Basti replied and sighed. "Hindi kasi pwedeng mag-leave si Mommy sa trabaho niya dahil we need funds for Cheska's operation. I can't leave her behind," he added and looked away.

"Bakit ka tulala 'dyan?" Napalingon ako sa gilid at nakita ko si Cross na may dalang ice cream. Ngayon na kasi ang foundation day pero bawat galaw ko parang may kulang. Ilang araw ng hindi pumapasok si Basti at ayaw niya ring mag-reply sa mga message ko. Hindi lang ako sanay na wala ang prescence niya everyday. He also stopped tutoring me for a while. Last na text niya sa akin ay babawi na lang siya. Bukod kay Azhter, si Cross lang ang nakakasundo ko. Hindi na rin kasi ako gaanong pinapansin ni Isaiah dahil mukhang busy sila ni Sean sa club nila. I often attend baking club since wala rin naman akong makausap. I just enjoyed the whole day with Cross. No doubt, ang saya niya talaga kasama. He even invited me to his cousin's birthday tomorrow. Pero this time, sinabihan niya na ako nang maaga. I actually bought a gift right after

"Because—" Cross hasn't finished his sentence kasi tumunog ang phone ko. Gosh, wrong timing! We were there. Close na! Sasabihin na niya ang reason. "Wait, ah!" sambit ko. Binuksan ko ang phone ko at nakita kong may notification galing kay Basti. I rolled my eyes and had no choice to read his message. Baka kasi importante. From Basti: Cancel. Napakunot ang noo ko. Cancel? Was there really something going on? Wala naman siyang sakit kahapon. Nag-usap pa nga kami about sa live band at uminom pa kami ng kape. Or not? Baka may problem lang siya or tinatamad siyang turuan ako. To Basti: Are you sure you're okay?
If Love is Mischief Chapter 18: He's Different From His Cousin
"Tumutugtog ka pala?" tanong ko. Nakaupo lang kami ni Basti sa may terrace nila habang umiinom ng kape. He looked at me and shook his head. Pinapaalis niya ako kanina pa pero hindi naman siya nagagalit kapag nag-stay ako. Hinatiran tuloy kami ng little sister niya ng kape. "I don't," he replied and sipped his coffee. "Sus, display lang 'yan?" I asked and raised an eyebrow. Totoo naman, e. Obvious naman na tumutugtog siya ng gitara. Bukod sa basketball posters, may mga poster din siya ng iba't-ibang banda. Complete niya rin ang iba't-ibang klase ng gitara. May ukulele, bass, electric at acrostic. See? "I never play again since I left Foster. Member lang ako ng band dati," he replied. I nodded and processed everything inside my head. Member din siya ng banda pero hin
If Love is Mischief Chapter 17: You Double-Cross My Mind
I saw Azhter on the other aisle at mukhang hinahanap niya ako. Sinabi siguro ni Huston na nakita niya ako sa party. Hinila ko agad si Basti papaalis. Ayaw ko kausapin ang pinsan kong baliw kasi for sure ang dami na naman niyang tatanungin. Like bakit ako nandito, paano ako nakapunta, sinong kasama ko, bakit ganito ang suot ko at kung anu-ano pa. At kapag hindi ako nagsabi ng totoo, isusumbong niya ako kay daddy. "Why are we hiding?" tanong ni Basti at sinubukan niya pang magpakita. Nakarating kami sa may balcony nila at kaunti lang ang tao. Kitang-kita mo ang mga nasa baba at ang ganda rin ng view dahil nasa top floor ang penthouse ni Zia. Naupo ako sa folding chair na black at naupo rin siya sa tabi ko. Nakaharap lang kami sa railings ng balcony and no wonder na sobrang tahimik niya.
