WINTERINS ACADEMY
CHAPTER 36 : KISS

[PHIA]

S

o Uhm hi? I need to introduce myself because this is my first POV so Hi! I'm Xaphia Rodri, you can call me Phia and I'm 16 years old, although Ali and I are same year old, she's older to me a months. Yeah right.

So we are here in the cafeteria, eating infront of this Five Elements, I don't even know why they call them Five Elements well whatever, and we are with the Power Pop Girls, I mean Fiona, Sheena and Yara. I don't even know why they are here or why we are here but still this food is free so just enjoy it anyway.

'hey can we talk?' Klaeden said in our mind.

'why? About what?' I asked back.

Nathalie and Ali is just eating and minding their own food while Jea is running to chase Hydle. Hope all.

'About yesterday..' he said.

Kaya napatigil ako and I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.

FLASHBACK

"Hey, what kind of books are you reading? What kind of genre?" Klaeden asked.

We are here in our dorm with my three bestfriends and his bestfriends. I don't even know why they are here pero nakicelebrate na lang sila ng birthday ni Jea. Nevermind.

"Random" I answered.

He nod at me and glance at the book that I am holding and 'bout to read.

"You want to read this?" I asked and take a sip from my glass of wine.

Oh? Ubos na pala.

"Well yeah, can I borrow it tomorrow? Can I see it for awhile?" He asked like a kid.

I chuckled and give it to him. Klaeden is gwapo but he is cold sometimes.

"Thanks" he said and smile.

If I were a book, would you smile at me like that too?

Kidding, ano bang iniisip ko? Now I know I'm a little bit tipsy because of my thoughts.

I look around and saw Jea and Hydle, dancing without a song. I mean why are they dancing? Nath and Warren is on her room na while Ali is strumming and singing a song and Czade is persuading her to sleep because Ali is drunk now.

And I laugh when I glance beside me, a lonely man who don't know what's happening and just keep drinking his drink, none other than Jasper hahahahaha.

"Why are you laughing?" Klaeden asked when he heard me laughing.

"Nothing pft"

Maybe Klaeden think of me as a crazy person hahaha lol.

I poured a wine at my glass and take a sip of it. While taking a sip, I take a glance to Klaeden and saw him seriously reading.

I chuckled and saw the man beside me, drinking his wine and talking like there a person infront of him so I laugh hard.

"HAHAHAHAHA--ah!" Sa sobrang tawa ko ay nadali ko ang bote ng wine kaya agad ko itong hinawakan para hindi matumba pero bigla akong nahilo, it's because of this wine ugh!

Mapasubsob na sana ako pero agad akong nahawakan ni Klaeden gamit ang dalawa nyang kamay.

"Hey, becareful" he said at iniyakap ako.

He's smell so good.

Wait what? The hell Phia!

Napatingin naman ako sa mata ni Klaeden na nakatingin na rin pala sa akin. His eyes that color brown is like a deep water na hinihila ako pababa and I feel like I'm drowning.

Lumapit naman ang mukha ni Klaeden sa mukha ko and the next thing I knew, he already kissing me.

At first, I said hindi ako magrerespond but I'm shocked nang igalaw nya ang labi nya kaya naparespond ako nang wala sa sarili.

Napatigil naman sya at pinaghiwalay kami sa isa't isa that's when I sober up.

WHAT THE FVCK IS THAT PHIA?

END OF THE FLASHBACK

Surely it's embarrasing to remember but still I like it.

Wait, I like it?

I nod at Klaeden at sabay kaming tumayo. Napatingin naman ang lahat sa amin.

"Saan kayo?" They asked.

"May pag uusapan lang" sabi ko sa kanila.

Tumango ako kay Ali at ganoon rin naman sya.

Pumunta kami sa garden at nag usap.

"Now, talk" I said.

"Well uhm.. about the kiss yesterday.. can you forget about it?" He asked.

Natigilan naman ako at nawala ang tuwa sa aking puso sa sinabi nya.

Forget about it? Tf.

"Why?"

"I *sigh* I'm sorry about the Kiss Phia.." he said.

Sorry? Seriously?

"Just think that we are drunk yesterday and we didn't mean to do it.. just think of it as if nothing happened.." he said na syang ikinadurog ko.

I mean bakit ako madudurog? Gusto ko na ba sya? I don't even realize it, I don't even know it! Ganoon ba talaga? We didn't realize our feelings hangga't hindi nila tayo sinasaktan? Required bang saktan muna before the realization? Haha wtf.

"Ha? H-Haha of course! O-Of course it's nothing. R-Really it is nothing" utal-utal kong sagot sa kanya.

He looked at me with his concerned eyes, oh please stop that.

"Are you sure?"

"Y-Yeah of course haha so let's go back? Or mauuna na ako?"

"M-Mauna ka n-na.." he said and I just nod at him.

I walk away to him and talk to Ali.

'Can I b-borrow your shoulder Ali?'

'Phia? What happened?'

Hindi naman ako nakasagot.

Biglang sumulpot si Ali sa harap ko at tiningnan ako.

"Phia, why are you crying? Come" she said and we teleport to a quiet place.

Infront of me, I saw a pond with a small fountain and a statue of King and Queen of Winterins.

"You can cry loud Phia, Don't worry I'm here hush" sabi nya kaya naman napayakap na lang ako sa kanya.

I don't even know why I cried this hard.
Ali is like a sister to us three. She always here for us, when we have a problems, she always the one who comfort us, she's like a mother and a father to us haha.

"Ali.. si K-Klaeden.. he said think of what happened yesterday as nothing like it was nothing for him.." sumbong ko sa kanya.

"He said na don't mind it like wtf Ali, iyon na nga lang ang reason na gusto kong panghawakan so that I can say na I like him and he likes me too pero wala, he doesn't even care about it" pagkukwento ko pa sa kanya at mas lalong hinigpitan ang yakap ko.

Hinagod-hagod nya naman ang likod ko para pagaanin ang loob ko.

"Hindi ko alam kung bakit durog ako now, I don't even realize na gusto ko na pala sya and I never thought na sa una pa lang masakit na haha"

"He said too na think of it as lasing lang kami that's why it happened, Ali yung kiss Ali, first kiss ko yon eh! Tapos sa kanya wala lang? Punyeta ba sya?!" Galit na sigaw ko at humiwalay sa pagkakayakap.

Tinawanan naman ako ni Ali at hinawakan ang mukha ko. Pinunasan nya ang luha ko at ngumiti sa akin.

"It's not like Klaeden didn't like it hmn? Siguro in her point of view, naisip nya sigurong nabastusan ka sa ginawa nyang pagkiss sayo, sa ginawa nyang pagtake advantage in your drunk state, but we don't even sure about that though haha, But still Phia, if you like him, just like him," sabi nya sa akin at hinalikan ako sa noo.

"Just like him and never expect, never misinterpret or misunderstood somethings, never assume somethings because if you does, it will hurt you and only you. And just expect only one thing and it's to be hurt. Asahan mo na kapag may nagustuhan kang isang tao, masasaktan ka doon, because love is so confusing, destiny is playful, even if you want to be with him, you can't, just because you want it, you can just grab it easily, sa pag ibig may sakit na kasama iyon okay?" Advice nya sa akin and I just nod at her and hug her.

"Thank you Ali.."

"Don't mention it, I'm always here for you, my three babies, just say your problem to me, I can listen.."

"You know that we can do it to you too right?"

"Yeah.."
