Chapter 51

ChantriaWith so much going on in school, I didn't realize that our graduation was getting closer and closer. We were getting ready for our defense later and I couldn't sit still.I knew we had prepared for this day, but I couldn't shake off the butterflies in my stomach due to nervousness. Even Lorreine and Louella were repeating and rehearsing what they were going to say.Only Iwatani remained calm, his eyes closed on one side, as if he was ready to jump in at any moment."I'll really pay a lot to get that confidence of yours, Iwatani," Lorreine commented. "I don't know how you manage to stay calm in these situations."Iwatani opened his eyes and looked at Lorreine. "I'm also nervous. This is just my way of calming myself down."Lorreine just nodded. "You look so calm, though. It's not obvious at all."We didn't continue our conversation as the first group exited. My nerves doubled since we were up next."Good luck," Gab said as they left."Thanks!" I said. "Is it difficult?"He sho

Chapter 52

ChantriaI'm glad that Iwatani and I are becoming real friends, not just childhood friends that we pretend to be. Because of my confession, we were able to rest and think about everything.Slowly, we're getting to know each other better. We're becoming proper friends.But what I don't like right now is the awkwardness between Gab and me whenever we're left alone together. It doesn't happen often, but I can't help but feel sad.That's when I realized how that kind of feeling can get in between two friends. When one falls for the other, it's just one of the two. Either they both will have feelings for each other, or they'll stop being friends because the other one doesn't feel the same way.It's just sad that it had to happen to me. I'm really glad that I'm friends with Gab. I'm happy because I have a friend who understands me to some extent. I'm happy being friends with Lorreine, Louella, and Iwatani, but we're nothing alike. We all have different problems and flaws to deal with.I sig

Chapter 53

ChantriaI have already been to Gab's house before but I still can't help but be amazed. Their house can be considered as one of the most beautiful residential houses in the Philippines, if not in the whole world.Even though I've seen it before, I'm still in awe of the vastness of their garden and their palace-like house. Even their maids seem to sparkle in my eyes. I think I'm the only one who got lost here and looks like a rag."I heard you've already come here once," Mr. Guanzon said as we got out of the car. "I know it might be uncomfortable being with me, but please feel at home.""Yes, Sir. Thank you.""And please don't call me sir. Call me tito."My mouth fell open and I quickly looked at Gab. He just nodded, so I did too. "Okay po, Tito. I will."When we entered, we were led to the living room. Their maids already prepared our food in the dining room. We waited in the living room while chatting. Tito didn't change his clothes immediately and joined us in the living room."So,

Chantria"What did dad tell you?" Gab asked as we walked towards their gate.I don't even know why we have to walk when they have a car, but I didn't complain. I don't want to be demanding. Just because he likes me doesn't mean I should take advantage of that. I'm not like that."Nothing to worry about," I replied.He paused before asking again. "He didn't threaten you, right?""No. Why would he?""I mean, he didn't tell you to leave me alone, right? He didn't say anything harsh or anything?"I chuckled before facing him. "No, he didn't. Like I said, you don't have to worry. And I don't think your dad's that type of person. I think he's great. He just doesn't always know how to show his true self to other people."He closed his mouth. "I know that. I'm just worried you'll ignore me in school after this."I laughed again. "Even if he asks me to leave you, I won't do that. I won't leave you alone." I turned around and walked towards the gate.After saying that out loud, I realized how e

Chapter 55

ChantriaI was staring while walking down the hallway. To be honest, from the time I woke up until now, I've just been staring blankly. My brain still can't absorb what Aling Tryna told me earlier.She didn't mention to Iwatani what we talked about because she noticed the change in my appearance.Well, I was so surprised. I didn't expect that out of all the women in the world, it was Carleigh. Out of all my potential rivals for Iwatani's heart, it had to be my twin.And the most painful part of it all is that out of all my potential competitors, it had to be someone who's no longer in this world. And honestly, I don't know what to do or feel.It feels like it was just yesterday when I was ready to forget about Iwatani and move on because I knew I had no chance with him. Because he already had someone else he loved. But when I found out who it was, I didn't know anymore. It's like I lost even more hope."Hey."I looked up when Louella approached me. I was currently at the soccer field

Chapter 56

ChantriaEverything went back to normal. Iwatani was right, I am really comfortable around him. It's like nothing ever happened. Although, my heart still races sometimes when I'm with him. But I still think I like him, since I really do. But love? I don't know. I've never been in love before, so I don't know the difference between liking someone and loving someone.Instead of worrying about it now, I decided to just let it be. In time, I know I'll find the answer. I'm not in a rush to know. I'll find out when I'm ready and with the person I'll love."Are you ready?" Gab asked with his palm extended in front of me."Not really," I replied.He chuckled softly as I took his hand. "Just follow my lead."We started to dance as soon as we heard the music. As our instructor, who was also our classmate, told us, we danced while looking into each other's eyes.For our upcoming graduation party, each class in our batch will have a presentation. Our section is preparing a semi-formal dance. I sh

Chapter 57

Chantria"Are you okay?" Gab whispered to me while we were dancing.I still couldn't look at him after everything I had learned. It had been awkward between us for a while, but I still didn't have the courage to open up about what Iwatani and I had talked about.As Iwatani had said, Gab didn't want me to know what had happened, which was confusing because he didn't need to hide it. And he certainly didn't need to do it. I know now that he likes me, but it still doesn't make it right."Did I do something wrong?" he asked.I shook my head. "No. No. It's not that.""Then what is it? You've been ignoring me all this time. I greeted you earlier, but you just looked away. If I didn't do anything wrong, what is it?"I took a deep breath. "Don't mind me. I'm just not in the mood."He looked at me as if trying to determine whether or not I was telling the truth. And I think he caught on. "You're lying. Why are you lying?""I'm not, okay?" I let go of his grip and stepped back. "I'll just go ge

Chapter 58

ChantriaI yawned while locking the door. Lorreine, Louella, and I slept late last night because we were on a video call for hours. Even though we went home early, they called me out of the blue, I don't know why.That's when I told them about Gab and Iwatani. I told them about how I feel and said that I would move on from Iwatani. Lorreine had the same reaction as Louella. She also didn't understand why I had to move on when there's still a chance, especially since we always hang out together.But as I told Louella, giving up is just the right thing to do. Besides, I don't think it's a bad idea. It's like it doesn't matter to me to give up my feelings for Iwatani. Maybe because I found out who he likes.It really gets confusing here. Because the truth is, I can't help but notice Gab too. At first, it didn't matter to me when I found out he likes me too. Not entirely, but it's like I'm okay with him liking me but I can't return his feelings.Maybe because I didn't know him well back t

Chapter 59

ChantriaThis is Eric's fault. Gab and I were okay yesterday. We didn't need anything from each other. But because of what he did, we can't practice properly again. I keep stepping on his foot because I can't focus.On top of that, my classmates keep teasing us. It just makes us more distant from each other. But despite that, he still manages to laugh as if he did nothing wrong. I really wanted to hit him. Just once. Hard."I'm really sorry about Eric," Gab said while looking into the distance. "He's an idiot.""He really is," I agreed. "But you don't have to apologize. If anyone should apologize, it's him. I'm not sure if I can forgive him though."He chuckled softly. "You don't have to listen to him, you know. He only said that because he knows I'll score and we'll win. He just likes to annoy people.""Nah, it's fine. I already agreed. I don't want to back out now.""Really? You don't have to do that, though. It's okay with me.""Really?"He paused for a moment before looking into m

Chapter 60

ChantriaI excused myself to go to the CR to get Iwatani's shirt. It's black and a bit big for me. I just tucked it in so I wouldn't look too big.When I went out of the cubicle, I saw Lorreine and Louella with some of our classmates. Some of them were retouching their makeup even though they were already going home. I just stayed there and washed my face."Are you okay?" Louella asked. "There was a big stain on your clothes earlier. Do you think it will come off?"I shrugged. "Maybe. It was just iced tea."I put my dirty clothes in a plastic bag. I only had a small bag with me so I couldn't put it inside. We were going home anyway so I just carried it."Do you have a relationship with Iwatani?" Rizelle asked. "Don't be offended or anything, okay? We're just curious."I looked at my classmates who were also waiting for my answer. Even Makino seemed to be waiting for my response.I shook my head at them. "We don't have a relationship. If you're referring to being friends, then yes, we'
