CHAPTER THREE

We are in the Hospital

now. Kent is okay but he still doesn't talk to me. I wanted to ask him about

what happened but I never did. I'll just let his parents ask him.

Moments later the door

of the private room where Kent and I were opened. I immediately stood up when I

saw my Mom with Kent’s parents.

"What happened to

you, son?" Aunt Suzette asked Kent. Aunt Suzette also gently touched his

head.

"It was just a

small fight, Mama. It just grew because of her." Kent even taught me. My

eyes widened immediately. Why is it my fault?

"Wait, why is it

my fault? Didn't I save you?" I was annoyed to ask him. After what I did

for him, he still blames me.

"If you hadn't

blocked, it wouldn't have hurt your head, you wouldn't have fallen." He

just said calmly. Yes he saved me, but I was just worried about him before.

That's why I didn't leave expecting that his enemy wouldn't continue beating me

because I'm a woman.

"Don't blame each

other. Whatever happened before, we'll just talk later." His Dad

suggested.

I just ignored him and

then sat on the sofa again. So annoying! Why is he blaming me? I wish I hadn’t

just gone there. I wish I had left him.

"You looked so

miserable earlier." Suddenly those words came out of my mouth. I didn't

look at him, I just looked at my cell phone.

"Ouchhh!" I

grabbed my neck. It suddenly hurt.

"What's wrong

with you Kaira?" Mama asked and sat down next to me.

I didn't answer

because the doctor who examined me earlier suddenly came in.

"Ms. Kaira Jane

Santiago." He said kindly.

"Yes, it's

me." I answered the Doctor then I stood up and approached him.

"You don't have

to worry because you haven't sustained any wounds or any injuries. Well, you'll

just feel body pain because of the bruises on your back." Doctor's

explanation. I breathed a sigh of relief because I was scared earlier.

"How about my

neck?" I even asked him.

"No worries, like

I said, you have nothing to worry about."

"Thank you."

I just said. After that he gave the test result to me then he came out.

We didn't stay long in

the hospital either but Kent will stay there for another three days. Aunt

Suzette also talked to me about being Kent's tutor. I agreed to visit him here

after our classes so that I could teach him while he was resting here in the

hospital.

I honestly didn't want

to continue being his tutor when he blamed me for what happened. In fact, even

if I didn't block him there, his enemy would still strike him.

-----

"What really

happened?" Mom asked me when we got home. I sat down on the sofa first

before I answered.

"I don't know

either Ma, Danica just called me and pulled me there." I clung to the

answer. My body really hurts.

"Eat and after

that take a rest." Mom said. I sluggishly stood up in my seat.

-----

I was already lying in

my bed and waiting for me to fall asleep. I still can’t forget what happened

earlier. I remember that over and over. Why did he suddenly fight? No !!

Why am I thinking

that? Should I be thinking right now why is he blaming me? I was about to help

him but why is that? I just closed my eyes, struggling in case I forget what

happened earlier

----

We just finished

class. I still wonder if I will visit Kent in the hospital to teach him the

lessons we have learned earlier.

"Oh, why are you

frowning there?" Jade asked and she had just arrived from the library.

"I'm thinking

about Kent.

“OMG!" Jade

covered her mouth then sat down next to me. "Do you love him

already?!"

I gave him an annoying

look. "Excuse me. No." I even pushed him a little.

"Ahah! The more

you hate the more you love."

"You believe

that? You’re jologs."

"Heleeeeer!

That's real duh!"

"How did you say

that? Do you have proof?"

"Nothing,"

she frowned further. Later she put her arm around me.

"But I believe

that when you are disgusted or very angry with someone even without a deep

reason, destiny will find a way for you to love him." She further

explained.

How will destiny make

way? Hayyst, I no longer believe in that.

"Oh no! If that's

what you're thinking, Jade, maybe what's coming out of your mouth is too

figurative." I just looked away after I told her that.

"Why? Have you

been hurt? It looks like you have a past relationship ..!" She teased me

and then poked my side.

"If you don't

like him, maybe he likes you?" She looked at me as if he wanted to say

something else.

"What are you

saying there? Don't fool me like that. You should be horrified by what you're

saying." I tease her too. Why would Kent like me? He blames me for what

happened.

"Just like that,

try again what you're doing in Santa Ana, your HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT

YOU." She suggested. I don't want to do that anymore because it's really

happening more than the THE MORE YOU HATE THE MORE YOU LOVE that Jade says.

I didn't do anything

when Jade dragged me to a nearby mini garden at our school.

She handed me a Santa

Ana. It has five petals that are small. I really don't want to do it but if I

don't do it, Jade will tickle me until I agree.

"He loves me

...... he loves me not ....he loves me ....he loves me not." I kept saying

while picking each petal.

Jade and I were

stunned when only one petal was left. I wouldn't have picked it up but this

Jade shaved again.

"He loves me

..." I whispered.

No! No! That can't

happen! I said to myself.

"My goodness

Kaira, he loves you. I told you, he loves you."

I was just shaken by

what Jade was saying. I even decided to take Kent to the hospital to teach him

all the lessons we had learned earlier.
