The Man

Chapter 7 : First Fight

"So, where do you want us to talk?" I asked. Ignoring the look that I am getting from Nathan.

"Is it okay for you if we talk to the park, near here?" Jeth asked.

"its okay with me." I said while smiling.

"Great! So lets go?" He asked.

"Yeah, lets go. Lets get this crap over." Nathan spoke.

If I am not mistaken, Jeth was actually talking to me and I should be the one who should answer Jeth but why did Nathan spoke? This man is rude. So fvcking rude.

Nathan then started walking, Me and Jeth started walking too. Nasa likod kami ni Nathan. Ayaw kong tumabi sa kanya sa paglalakad, naiinis pa rin ako.

Tawa lang ako ng tawa kasi sobrang corny nung mga jokes ni Jeth. Yung matatawa ka na lang hindi dahil sa nakakatawa yung joke, matatawa ka nalang kasi sobrang corny.

Pero napatigil ako sa pagtawa ng biglang nagsalita si Nate.

"Hey, Jeth! You walk first. Hindi ko alam ang daan."

Hindi naman pala alam ang daan tapos nangunguna pang maglakad.

"Sure." Mabilis na tugon ni Jeth at naunang maglakad.

I was about to go to Jeth's side when Nate grabbed my arm.

"Now you" he said while pointing me and continued "walk with me. By my side."

I looked at him with confusion in my eyes. He face was so serious but all of a sudden he smiled. A wide one. Oh God... he was so beautiful.

I dont know but suddenly I felt a tight knot in my stomach which I find so weird. What I feel right now is so foreign, this feeling is so new, its unfamiliar. What the eff

As soon as we arrived in the said park Jeth sat on the bench near a Narra tree.

He then motioned me to sit beside him. I was about to sit beside him when Nate suddenly went to sit beside Jeth first.

Teka, Is he making a move to Jeth? Is Nathan a gay? Does he like Jeth? Kaya ba parang ang init ng dugo ni Nathan kay Jeth kasi bitter siya kay Jeth because Jeth likes Sey and he cant reciprocate Nate's feeling? I laughed inwardly.

Impossible.

"Oh Kylie, come on! Sit here." Nate said while tapping the space beside him.

Maybe I should ask Tita Beth kung maypagkabipolar ba tong si Nathan, nakakaduda na eh. One moment he's so quiet, then a moment after he's so fvcking loud then he'll start being grumpy then he'll be sweet like wtf he is so unpredictable.

"As if I have other choice." Sabi ko sabay upo sa tabi niya.

But wait, how will I talk with Jeth if this giant is in between us?

"Ummmm. Nate?" I called him out. He then turned to face me while raising his eyebrow.

"In case you didn't know we actually went here because Jeth and I has something to talk to, we aren't here to watch those cute little kids playing" I said while pointing those cute kids playing in front of us.

"Oh yes. I know that." He said while nodding.

"So?" I asked.

"So what? Don't ask me. Ask Jeth. He's the one who has something to say to you. Not me."

Napa-facepalm na lang ako sa sagot niya. Oh God, he's impossible. I thought he got what I wanted to tell him.

"Seriously Nate? What I am trying to imply is that... how will we talk to each other when you are in between us?" I said looking so annoyed as ever.
