Chapter 16

Lucas’s POV

“L-LUCAS. Maybe I'll be late .. ”said Maxine. I just woke up.

"S-sorry ..." my embrace gradually loosened. I could barely hear anything but my deafening heartbeat.

"I-I'll be the first ..."

I couldn’t say anything. i am just looking at her face until she turned her back from me. Seemed I cannot move. I just stood and watched her leave for a moment .. I was barely touched on the left side of my chest. What the hell was that ?! Damn, why do I feel like I’m getting worse and worse.

oh God, I’m sicked.

I don't want to go home because of Grandpa but it seems like I just want to lie down all day. I'm not feeling well. It's like I don't want to see Maxine first.

..I am so damn confused.

I lay down on the bed and buried my face in the pillow ..

..but no matter how I calm down myself that scene still comes back to my mind ..

Takti, etoh na naman ‘yong puso ko.

I was again grabbed by the left chest while still on all fours. Its pulse no longer becomes normal.

“Damn, is this for real? ugh, you got to be kiidding me Lucas .. you know the rule, Maxine is a human. ” for me the theme is self -talking.

This is insane ..

I shouldn’t be messin ’with things that would get me into trouble.

I should stop seeing HER ..

Maxine’s POV

my brain flies as Ma’am teaches. I was no longer in the mood to listen, my mind was too busy.

I was about to speak when Lucas suddenly embraced me. And with the force of its pull I inadvertently embraced him. my neck stiffened because its face was so close to mine. I can't breathe with so much nervousness.

"Uh-umm L-Lucas ..." I whispered, I couldn't even pronounce its name properly.

..And my God, I can't stare at it, it's like I'm going to melt. Why is that ?! I used to stare at Hevo.

"L-Lucas .. m-ma-li-late n-na ako .." I moaned while trying to get out of his arms. It's as if it's getting messy at my request. Its embrace loosened.

"S-sorry .."

The awkward grabeeee!

I never said goodbye to Luke. I turned around and walked towards the University.

My reflection was interrupted when I felt Meghan's weak push.

“You’re blushing ..” its snout.

"No ah!" I refused.

“Si Hevo ba‘ yan? ” its questioning eyes are still teasing.

"Tsk, no noh."

Meghan's forehead furrowed. he looked at me as if doubting what I had said.

"Eh who ...?"

"What are you, I'm just thinking of a good title for our research." palusot ko.

"Maybe it's too handsome when you think of the title, it's like your face is as tomato." Meghan asked again, obviously not convinced by my answer.

I laughed, because my alibi was too lamya.

"Wait, where are they?" I asked as we were the only two in the room.

“Earlier it evaporated. It's a good thing Miss Calupe didn't notice you, otherwise I'll catch you again. ”

I put in the bag the book and notebook I used.

"Thanks Meghan hah .." I smiled at her. “You know, I still can't believe you're my friend. You have been rude since we were in our first years. ”

“Well, people change. It's tiring to be like that. And then I feel guilty. You're smart, eh. ”

Aww, natouch ako do’n.

"Come on, let's canteen ..." he said and stood up.

I stood up as well. "You know I don't go in there."

“You have to. You owe me, remember? ” it's a reminder that it's even more embarrassing to face me.

Yay!

Which again! He saved me from Miss Gillany.

"W-wait, that's all I can eat for you, hah .."

My God, it's a pity I'm going to buy it too, I'll save it in addition.

"I'll try ..." he grinned and led the way out of the room.

MEghan and I ordered a box of pizza and ice tea when we arrived at the canteen.

"You're terrible, you're so stingy huh!" Meghan complained once she ate a slice of pizza.

two fifty so I spent .. my third day of allowance '

‘Yon.

"Just eat." I said and took a piece as well. Meghan rolled her eyes and snorted again.

"Hi, can I share ...?"

Meghan and I both looked at the source of the voice.

Hevo, he was carrying a tray of food.

Why does it always just pop up where I am?

"Sure ..." Meghan said.

The latter smiled and sat down.

"Thank you ..." he said to Meghan then turned her gaze to me. I looked at him too. Feel if I can feel ‘em before. but nothing, eh.

"I'm sorry, if I didn't say goodbye to you yesterday ..." Hevo said. "Because I lost my mind, I had to take Beatriz to the clinic."

I shook my head and smiled, I wasn't affected.

"It's nothing. Maybe it would have been better if you hadn't been taken to the clinic right away. ”

duh, that ‘demon’ is just acting. Hmmmp!

"Oh, Hevo!" call a familiar voice.

Speaking of maarte ..

"I'm glad I saw you ..." said the demon Miss Beatriz, her eyes just about to form a heart. He sat down next to Hevo, also carrying a tray of food. didn't even say goodbye to sit down

"Is your foot okay?" Hevo asked.

"Yeah, and thanks to you .." said Miss Beatriz with a sweet smile.

"It's nothing.."

Meghan and I are still here, oh!

“Ehem! Ehem! ” tikhem ni Meghan. it also doesn’t seem to like the newcomer basi well in the reaction of its face. It was only then that Miss Beatriz turned to us. It smiled.

..smile plastic

“Oh hi, Maxine! Sorry, there you are .. ”he whispered but obviously not sincere. I just responded with a miserly smile.

“By the way Hevo, the acquaintance party is near. It’s next week. Do you have a date yet? ” Miss Beatriz turned to Hevo again.

The latter shook his head and looked at my behavior.

“Not yet, eh. I don't even know if he will agree .. ”

Meghan kissed me softly.

I know! Yay!

“Uhm, all right. I agree. ”

"H-huh ?!" Hevo asked, looking at Miss Beatriz. It surprised me.

"I agree to be your date."

Ayay!

Meghan and I looked at each other.

“Grabe Maxine. all my life, it's the first time I've seen a lame asyumera, feeling-ira pa .. ”said Meghan while sipping pizza.

I pushed Meghan but it seemed like I just didn’t do anything here.

"Why?"

I looked at him meaningfully. It looks like it has no intention of stopping her innocence.

my god, you get so at a glance!

"Excuse me ?!" Miss Beatriz groaned as she looked at us, one eyebrow arched.

"Uh-huh?" Meghan.

"Are you calling me?"

I can smell a fight.

"Did I hit you?"

as far as Meghan said Miss Beatriz stood up and poured coke on it.

"Next time, you choose your opponent." Miss Beatriz's voice traced the irritation.

Hevo and I were both shocked, we both stared blankly.

Miss Beatriz was about to turn around when Meghan stopped her.

"Wait."

The latter turned and looked at Meghan angrily.

"Wha --- Ugh, f*ck!"

My mother. The students are already looking at us inside.

"It's unfair if it's just me." Meghan said calmly as she dropped the empty glass of ice tea, she threw it at Miss Beatriz. "Let's go."

"You bitcth!" Miss Beatriz squealed at the same time as Meghan.

Hevo and I stood up in a panic and stood between the two. Hevo hugged Miss Beatriz on the waist while I just blocked Meghan.

Seriously, collision of two maldita ?!

"How dare you!" cried Miss Beatriz. “Do you even know who I am ?!”

"Enough Beatriz, let's get out of here .." Hevo scolded here.

"Lemme go Hevo, and I'll teach that girl a lesson!"

“No! We're leaving!" Hevo insisted and led it away from us.

"Of course, I do know you .." Meghan chased, she smiled wryly. "Flirty leech!"

Gagatongan pa, eh!

“Come on Meghan. leave him alone. ” I scolded Meghan as I tried to pull her out of the canteen. Don't let it go. Fortunately, Hevo has released Miss Beatriz.

"You SHOULD have left the two of us, when I scratched that woman's face on the floor." Meghan's line was still high blooded. We're off Campus. “Look what has she done ?!” it was specific to wearing a wet uniform, it stained.

"It's you ..."

"I don't feel that way."

Silence.

"That's me." I crack.

“What ?! Seriously ?! "he exclaimed in disbelief with his forehead still furrowed. I nodded.

"So I died later at home."

Biting the lower lip Meghan held my hand. "S-sorry .."

"It's OK. I'm used to it, eh. ”

I sighed. While I have not yet graduated I have to suffer for Mom.

I walked out of school ALONE. Meghan went home first. Even though I haven't been able to move in the scene with Lucas before, I still have to show up here. today is the beginning of my work.

I looked for it as soon as I came out of the gate. But I searched all around without a trace of Luke.

Where did he go?

"It's okay Maxine .. and at least you're safe now." I whispered to myself.

that's right, I might not be able to deal with him properly either.

Hmmmp! Weird .. but I seem disappointed.
