CHAPTER FOUR

I'm in the hospital. I

caught Kent sitting on the patient bed and he was unaccompanied.

"I thought you

weren't coming." He told me. I put my stuff down on the sofa and pulled a

chair closer to where he was.

"I promised your

Mom, so I came here. I'm sorry if I took so long. Jade and I are taking care of

something." Let me explain. I stared at him and caught him staring at me

as well. Suddenly I remembered what Jade and I had done before. He loves me. I

said in my mind.

"Hey! Are you

okay?" He tapped my arm and I went back to normal.

"Ah, after you

blame me for what happened to you yesterday, you're asking me if I'm

okay?" I sarcastically asked him. I just alibi this so that it's not

obvious that I'm thinking something strange.

"Look, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to blame you." He added. What is not accidental? Eh why did

he say that?

"Excuse me, Mr.

Kent you blamed me in front of our parents and then you said you didn't mean

to? Are you crazy?" Even though I was annoyed with him, I forced myself to

take out my notes so that I could start teaching him.

"Sorry." I

just ignored him.

"Look here, focus

because I won't be here long. I want to go home."

"Am I not cute so

you won't accept my sorry?"

"Are you crazy?

You're really crazy."

"I'm cute."

This person is very proud of himself.

"If you haven't

stopped making you cute, I'll go home." I threatened him. Soy still didn't

stop, as long as he continued to make me cute while playing with my hair.

"Won't you

stop?" I pulled his arm and I inadvertently brought my face close to his.

It's like I felt weird, the kind I felt for my crush back then.

Do I like Kent? Maybe

Jade is right, the more I hate, the more I love?

"Do you want

me?" My mind just returned to normal when he suddenly asked me. I

immediately let go of him and looked away from him.

"You're assuming

too much." I even told him. Yes, it is true that he is assuming. Why would

I like him?

"Don't be shy,

just admit you like me." Is he teasing me?

"I'm not going to

teach you okay." I put away my belongings and hurried away. He called me

but I didn't look back at him. I don't want him to tease me anymore.

Wait, why did I save

him if I don't want him? Isn't it possible, I just want to help him? But it

seems like I really felt different when he hugged me and he sacrificed for me.

I hurried home because

it was already dark. Mom might be worried about me.

------

"Jade, it looks

like what you told me earlier is true." I’m talking to Jade now on the

other line. I sat on my bed. I just finished eating dinner and I’m headed

straight here.

"That he likes

you?"

"No, I like

him." Even though Jade and I were on opposite lines it was as if I could

see her reaction.

"So, do you

believe that?"

"Which one? That

I like him?" I got up and went to the balcony of my room. I suddenly felt

the coolness of the breeze.

"Ahuh!"

"Yah, because

it's my feelings."

"Anyway, have you

seen that memory card?"

I just slapped my

forehead. By the way, I forgot.

I immediately thought

of what to say to Jade. Because it's true that I still can't find that memory

card.

Jade also agreed with

my answer. That's why we have to find that memory card, my friend is very

worried about the possible contents of its files. She also greeted Kent so we

talked a little longer. I also plan to sleep even though I'm not sleepy yet.

But Jade told me about what I did in the hospital with Kent. What does she

expect me to do at the hospital with Kent?

"Are you crazy?

What am I going to do except teach him the lessons we took?" I counted the

answers to Jade.

"Oh no! So what

if Kent likes you too?" He teased me with a question. Really even though

he was on the other line I could feel his teasing. I was also silent at his

question. I remember again what we did that HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT. Until

now, I still believe that it is really happening.

It was also a long

time before Jade and I finished talking. Because he asked so many questions

about Kent and me, I couldn't answer because he was just teasing me.

When we finished

talking, she still tried to call again but I did not answer. I put my cell

phone on my bedside table. I dropped my body on my bed. I stared at the ceiling

where the glow in the dark stars glued to it grabbed my attention. I took a

deep breath, what if it was true? What if we have mutual feelings for each

other? I was just shaken by my thoughts. I tried to get rid of it, I almost

covered my face with a pillow just to get rid of it but nothing happened.

I still can't sleep so

maybe I'm not even losing my thoughts. I heard a noise in the living room so I

immediately went out of the room to see what it was. I was just on the stairs

when I saw Tita Suzette with Tito. What are they doing here? I hurried

downstairs when they saw me. They are now sitting on the sofa and talking to my

Mom. I went straight to the kitchen to get something to eat, because I suddenly

felt hungry. I opened the refrigerator and I saw a refrigerated cake there. So

I took it right away and ate it when I sat down. I could hear Mama talking, if

their voices weren't very loud. Our house wasn't big either, just the right

size, so we could hear each other quickly.

Aunt Suzette is

leaving? How is Kent? I just continued eating until I heard Mama call my name

so I came immediately.

"Get your things

ready and go with your Aunt Suzette to the hospital." Mom said seriously.

I frowned in astonishment. Why would I go with them? Is there anything wrong

with the doctor's findings on me yesterday?

"Wait, what's up?

Why should I go with Aunt Suzette?" I asked because I was still very

confused. Mama stared at Tita Suzette before they answered me.

Mom held my arm before

she spoke. I was even more nervous because of Mom's actions.

"Ahmmmm, you'll

watch Kent first, Kaira, until he gets out of the hospital." Mama said, I

still don't understand why, so she continued her explanation. "Your Aunt

Suzette is leaving and your Uncle because they have business matters abroad so

watch Kent first."

 "How about my studies? I don't want to be

absent from school." I'm still grumbling.

"Don't worry,

I've already talked to Maxine, her childhood friend ..." Tita Suzette's

voice moved back and forth between Mama and me while Mama just nodded.

"He'll watch over Kent every morning." He continued. Why didn't

Maxine just watch everyday?
