Jaz Michaella's POV
I am Jaz Michaella Salvador, a 2nd year high school student. I am studying at Eagles University.
We just finished playing volleyball, and in an unexpected turn of events we just lost. Something is bothering me right now.
"Jaz, let's go to our building, we'll get the equipment and we'll leave as well" said Eunie, who is currently smiling even though we lost.
She is the only woman who understands me. We support each other.
"All right, I'll be next. I'll just go to the water closet and I'll just get dressed." I said hurriedly when I saw Steve approaching.
"I'll come with you. I'll get dressed too." I saw Allaine approach Steve. But is that how I feel? Why does it hurt?
"Jaz, are you okay" Ate Korine suddenly asked.
As we headed to the water closet, I couldn't stop crying. Yes, I'll admit I like him in case I don't know yet if I'll admit it or not because it's still not the right time.
"Ate, is Allaine really Steve's ex? Ate Korine's eyes widened when I asked that.
"Where did you get that fake news?" Ate Korine asked in surprise. You mean not real? But that's what Allaine said earlier before the game started.
"I just heard the students behind us talking earlier" I didn't tell the truth because maybe what I heard was really wrong.
"Steven haven't had a girlfriend before because he's still a bad boy." Not yet? Hpw abaout Khyla? Is it just rumors or are you hiding something from me.
"Let's go there and they're looking for us" said Eunie.
When we got to the building, I could still see Allaine and Steve together and laughing. I felt intense jealousy but I was not in position.
"Jaz, are you crying?" Drae asked in surprise, isn't it obvious Drae ?!
I was blindsided, and after that I saw Steven looking at me and from reading his eyes I knew that he was worried about my condition.
"No. There was just something that hit my eye" I defended myself. I just saw on the other side of my vision that Steven hugged Allaine.
"Where are we heading right now?" Steven asked immediately after he hugged Allaine. I need to distance myself from you, Steven.
"At Cuttie Milktea, we'll be heading there so we can relax there." We'll be heading to our Milktea shop and I can easily relax there.
"Brother, I'll ride with you" I said immediately so that I wouldn't go with Steven. Steven's mood went down when I said that.
"All right. Korine, just come with us instead of waiting for Kuya Simone" what ?! I'm avoiding him but then?!! ARGHHHHH!. What can I do?
"Eunie, ride with us." I hope Kuya agrees.
"All right, ride at the back of the car for the wind. Be careful over there." Kuya agreed.
"Drae, come here with me" Steven immediately asked Andrae to ride along, Eunie's eyes lit up when she heard that.
We immediately rode to the back. I still look messy so I put a little powder and lipgloss to make me look fresh. I saw Steven open the phone. Maybe he'll text Allaine.

You seem to have cried earlier. Why? Who hurt you?
To: BadBoySteven
Steven, can you please don't talk to me first. Please. I want to distance myself for today.
That's how I treated Steven. I know it's Steven because he saved that number for me. It's up to him.
From: BadBoySteven
Why are you so much bothered? Is it my fault? Why are you crying?
To: BadBoySteven
Mind your own business, Steven!
I saw that he turned off his phone and peeked out the window to vape.
"Eunie, have you seen the girl who was with Steven a while ago?" I asked Eunie who was busy texting Drae.
"Yes, she's Allaine, the Captain of the Shining Tigresses. Steven's ex" Is she really an ex?
"Yes. Are they together?" Even though it hurts me I still asked. The first day I met you, I got into you. But then it was a mistake.
"They don't seem to be. It's been a long time." Eunie said in surprise as if wondering what I was doing. He knew that Steve was my crush but we didn't want to tell him. Also, Sheyn, Zoe, and Ate Korine. Drae also knew because we were close then.
"Is that so? Okay all right" I sparingly replied to Eunie. I thought about that for a long time and I didn't realize that we had arrived.
I was about to get off when Steve suddenly helped me out of the car. Instead of holding my hand I pushed it away and spontaneously got out of the car. He even chased me to talk to me in case I just humiliated him.
"Jazper, you take care of my order and Jaz's. I'll just talk to your sister" Ate Korine said to Kuya. Ate Korine pulled me over and Steven immediately followed us.
"Steven, be there with your friends first. Jaz and I will just talk" Steve immediately followed what Ate Korine said.
Ate Korine and I went up and stopped at our chillaxing spot of the Master Eaglettes.
"Didn't you ask me if Allaine was Steven?"
"Yes Ate. Is that really true?"
"There was this rumor that Allaine became Steven's ex but they were wrong"
Steven just did that because that's the only way for Khyla to stop her illusion. I was surprised by what Ate Korine said. Khyla was just delusional and Steven was the one she dreamed of but Steven didn't want her?
I kept thinking. But I will distance myself to avoid more issues.
"Hi Khyla!"
"Are you and Steven together again?"
"Why not Allaine again?"
I quickly peeked at them and I was right about him. Steven put his arm around her and hugged her. He looked at me from where I was standing and let go of Khyla when Vinch suddenly pluck him.
"I thought Michaella was the girl she want but why so he hugged his rumored ex?" I looked at the speaker. One of my classmates in the EU with her friends.
I sit in embarrassment now. Am I still hoping? I don't have enough time. I think this ends here.
