“Caleigh!!”
Nabitawan ko ang librong binabasa nang marinig ang boses ni Pheonix. Humahangos ito ng takbo mula sakanilang Villa.
“Oh?” Napataas kilay kong sabi ng makita ang kakaibang ngisi nito.
“I have been trying to call you like zillion times, pero di mo sinasagot-”
“I forgot my phone upstairs.”Putol ko sa sinasabi nya na ikinatawa lang nya. “Why?” Naniningkit ang mata kong sabi.
Sinuklay nya Ang buhok gamit nang kanyang mga daliri.
“You need to check your f*******: account.” Nang aasar nyang sabi, habang nakatingin sa iPhone nya.
I don’t like the way he looks at me, parang may kalokohan na naman syang ginawa. Napabuntong hininga ako sabay upo mula sa pag kakahiga sa duyan.
“If I were you, makikinig ako sa ibon na yan!” Biglang sulpot ni Reed out of nowhere.
“Kuya!” Inis na reklamo ni Phoenix sa pagtawag sakanya ng ibon. Yun kasi ang maadalas ipang asar sakanya ng kapatid.
Ngumisi si Reed sabay siksik nang sarili sa duyan na ikina- uupuan ko.
“Hurry.. Time is running, the more na hindi mo nachecheck ang post mo, the more na mas marami ang nakakakita.”Makahulugang sabi ni Reed na hindi pinansin ang reklamo ng kapatid.
“Huh?” Naguguluhan kong sabi pero tumayo na din ako mula sa pagkakahiga ko sa Porch Swing.
I asked one of our helpers to take a photo of me while I was doing a Half Moon Yoga Pose and I uploaded it on my IG and sss Account. After I uploaded it I decided to take a shower and go here to our Patio to read and relax. And relaxing means leaving my phone in my room.
“Run, Caleigh.. Before it is too late.” Nang aasar na sabi ni Phoenix na ikina halakhak naman ni Reed.
“Pag nalaman ko na pinag titripan nyo lang ko, I swear!! You guys will be a dead meat!” Pagbabanta ko at mabilis na tumakbo papasok ng Mansion. I can hear their laughs but I ignore it because I am too nervous..
Instead na mag stair, I decided to take the elevator dahil baka madisgrasya ako pag nag stairs ako sa sobrang pagmamadali. This Main Villa has an elevator dahil hirap na ang Grand Parents namin sa pag akyat baba lalo pa at high ceiling ang yari ng Mansion at apat na palapag ito.
When I reached my room, I quickly grabbed my phone and typed the password. Once I opened my f*******: my jaw dropped when I saw that I have 8k plus notifications. If I am not mistaken the highest notification I usually get is around 3k since I have lots of sss followers.. Pero 8k is too much. So I went to my f*******: Wall and saw that I have around 6k reactions..from likes, to hearts and even the crying and shocked emoticons! And I have more than 2k comments which is so weird dahil usually hindi naman umaabot ng 1k ang comments ng mga pinopost ko. And to my amazement almost 1k na din ang nag share!
The question is why?
So, I opened the comment section to find out what’s happening.
I can see lots of tags..
And lots of comments from different girls.
BiancaG: OMG sino sya?
HelloBerry: Sya ba ang bagong Flavor of the Month?
Ana_Marie: Hala!!! May crush na ang Crush ko?
Andrew09: Pinsan sya ni Yckos diba?
LeannaMartine: Isang Carmichael Ang nag wait! Tinapos na Ang pila! Walk na! Uwian nag huhu!
MissKyla: Ang unfair ng life!
I don’t understand what they are talking about, so I had to load all the comments. And I almost throw my phone when I saw the reason why this photo is a big deal.
Silas Dmitri: You’re online, why are you not accepting my friend request? I’m hurt Agape Mou!
And with that simple comment, it earned thousands of reactions and thousands of comments.
Most I think came from our schoolmates..
Some were asking who am I..
Some are asking why don’t I accept Silas’ Friend request.
Some even said that we were seen together in the Campus having an argument..
People really love to gossip! Mukhang masaya sila sa chismes nilang nasasagap. Some are not tho, I think it is my surname that keeps them from bashing me, because they know my cousins will have my back..
PheonixC: Way to go Kuya Silas!
Thyme Carmichael: Dude! Hahaha you’re the man!
SaffronDelany: Omg Silas! Magagalit says si Caleigh! Hahaha
Carmichael Yvo: Tssss
Azalea Carmichael: Sinasabi ko na eh! Omg!!! Hahaha
I bit my lips, pati ba naman sila nakisali?! Ugh!!
Tulala ako habang naglalakad papuntang elevator hangang sa makababa ako. I am trying to think on how I can save myself in this situation where that annoying greek guy has put me. Pag dating ko ng Patio ay naroon na rin si Yckos. He is looking at me worriedly.
“Maybe I should just delete the photo that I posted?” nag aalangan kong sabi habang nakatingin kay Yckos.
Inalok nito Ang Kama saakin, at tinangap ko, he pulled me forward and he put his arm on my shoulder.
“It was shared already and some even has a screenshot copy of it, together with Silas’ comment.” Naiiling na sabi ni Yckos.
“It’s trending, Caleigh!” masayang sabi Phoenix.
“Shut up!” Sabay namin sabi ni Yckos.’
“Uhuh, I think you should check the wall of Kuya Silas.” Pigil ang ngiting sabi ni Reed.
Nanlaki ang mata ko, ano na naman ginawa ng Griyego na yun!
Mabilis ang lakad na ginawa ko palapit kay Reed, I snatched his phone before he could even react.
“The hell?” Gigil kong sabi matapos makita ang post ni Silas. It was a photo of me, I am standing at the seashore wearing my white beach dress. I look serene while I am looking in the sky, while my hair is being blown by the wind.
I think it was the caption that made the photo controversial. Just one word yet and yet it earned thousands of reactions and comments.
Just one word, and I know that word will change our lives..
MINE.
I think nag ka goosebumps ako! The way he said it.. it was really territorial and possessive.
I have no time to scream my annoyance because my phone pinged, I just received a message in messenger, since the sender is not my friend, I still have to check the message is REQUEST MESSAGE.
“Won’t you still accept my Friend Request?”
Halos imagist ko ang iPhone ko sa inis.
”Easy..” pag papakalma saakin ni Yckos.
”He is annoying! Why is he doing this to me! I feel like he just want to torment me!” Halos nag papa- padyak kong reklamo.
I took a deep breath as I tried to calm myself.
”What are you talking about? The guy obviously likes you!” Reed said before he put his hands inside the pocket of his shorts.
Umirap ako.
”No he doesn’t!” I shook my head.
Ano yun, after ilang busman Nya akong I was an, one day nag magus to na lang sya saakin? No way!
”He does, or he wont do any of that. Kuya Silas likes privacy lalo na when it comes to his girls-“
”Reed stop it, I am not one of his girls!” Medco nainsulto ako sa sinabi nya.
”I mean, though he is known playboy, he is private Kai’s alam nya na walang mag tatagal..Ang those are his flings.”
“So your point is?”
”His point is, Kuya Silas is announcing to the world that finally he has a girl!” Nakatingin smirk na sabi ni Pheonix pero ikina- simangot ko lang.
Yckos sighed, kaya napatingin ako sakanya.
”Don’t worry, I won’t let him do something that will hurt you.” His words are comforting.
”WE won’t..” Reed added and Phoenix nodded in agreement.
