Chapter 33: Strange Things and Jealousy (6)
After that dream, I kept blushing whenever Tom was around. He also occasionally teased , but most of the ti he would only smirk at . And, I had been wondering why I had just noticed the sexiness hidden behind his smirk.
Being around him would make stupid, literally. My brain seed to stop working properly. I was torn between wanting to see him more and hide from him. Even when I went to campus, I felt reluctant to leave him -after he ca back, he refused to walk to campus.
A week later, I finally found why.
Senior Rizal.
Right, I was still Senior Rizal’s girlfriend. But, how could I forget about him for a week? My whole mind focused only on Tom, and I totally forgot about Senior Rizal.
After being absent for a week, Senior Rizal had returned. Sohow, I felt there was sothing off from his expression. Whenever I tried to ask him, he would shake his head and tell he was okay.
I was never a pushover concerning soone’s problem. I always thought that I couldn’t force soone to talk about their problems to . If they wanted to talk about it, I would make sure I stayed and listened to them. But, if they didn’t want to, I didn’t see any reason for to force them to spit it out.
.....
So, I let Senior Rizal alone with his problem.
Even when I was in his side, I felt there was a distance between us.
There was an invisible wall separating us.
I’ve been wondering if it were the effect of my heart had a sudden change. I was obviously still with Senior Rizal, but at ho, I was all lovey dovey with my ghost roommate that turned into my ghost lover not long ago.
Apparently, I was not the only who noticed Senior Rizal’s change.
As Senior Rizal’s closest friends, Senior Rizal and Senior Mario noticed it, too. Both of them asked if we got into a fight and I answered no.
“That’s strange. Even if he doesn’t really like the girl, he will never, ever, ignore them. It’s not like he is accidentally ignoring you. It’s more like he openly ignoring you.” Senior Dino said as he frowned.
“More like, Rizal is running away from you.” Senior Mario corrected and my heart nodded in agreent with what he said.
That was right. Senior Rizal looked like he was avoiding . But, why?
“Senior Rizal is avoiding ? But, why?” I asked.
They shrugged. They did not give any choice but to think about it carefully by myself. As I was pondering the reason of Senior Rizal’s sudden change of behavior, sothing flashed in my mind.
Don’t tell ... Tom didn’t...
Did he?

It was almost dusk when I finally reached my dorm. After a long and tiring day at campus -plus with the addition of the strange behavior of Senior Rizal, I finally had my ti to relax. I had just stepped in front of my door when a weird chilling aura suddenly hit . I turned my head to the source of the chilling aura and found my eyes hit a pair of cold eyes, staring right at .
My breath hitched as I saw that pair of eyes on the familiar face. My heart felt like jumping out of my chest as I rubbed my chest to calm my wild beating heart.
“Tom, what are you doing out here? You’re scaring !” I scolded him in a low voice like a whisper.
“You had fun with your boyfriend?” He asked but the disdain was clear in his voice.
I opened my door and stepped inside, ignoring his question. I have been getting this question when I ca ho later than usual. It was true, my class had finished before two this afternoon, but sothing ca up at campus so I had to stay behind to take care of it with my friends.
And, Tom would assu that I was late because I played with Senior Rizal. If I was not mistaken, it was the sixth question he asked .
“I was not playing. I was studying and taking care of so issues with our project.” I explained as soon as he walked through the wall and sat in front of .
He furrowed his eyebrows, thinking if he could accept my answer, probably. “Then, can you break up with him soon?” This ti, he didn’t bother starting it with sugar coating words.
He was getting more and more brave in voicing out what was in his mind. But, I also had sothing in mind.
“Tell , Tom. Can you really enter a human’s dream?” I asked.
“It depends.” He shrugged. “Answer my question first.” He stared right through .
“Then, did you or did you not enter into Senior Rizal’s dream and threating him with sothing again?” Ignoring his plea, I asked straight to the point.
Tom’s eyes widened in shock as he shot a disdain look. It was as if he was saying ‘why would I stoop myself lower to threaten that poor boy?’
“I would never do sothing like that!” He protested. “What? Did that boy say that to you?” He frowned.
“No?” I asked him back.
“NO. Never. I have never visited him in his dream since the inauguration!” Tom answered disdainfully.
From the way he talked, I was pretty much sure that he spoke the truth. Then, what was the reason of Senior Rizal’s sudden change?
As I was thinking about that, Tom moved to sit in front of , supporting his cheek with one of his hand. His face was so close to that it made startled.
“Don’t think about him when you’re here. Haven’t we talked about it before?” He reminded . His handso face pouted a bit.
I smiled. His jealousy was indeed scary sotis. But, he made a distinct line about my treatnt to him and Senior Rizal. Even though he would suggest to break up with Senior Rizal and got severely jealous after that, he had never flown to Senior Rizal’s dream to do sothing I didn’t like.
“Also, why would I get into that boy’s dream when I have your dream to enter?” He smirked.
I blushed. Oh, whatever.
