The Day We Fall In Love (COMPLETED)

C h a p t e r 4 5

GAVIN's POV

"Okay class, we need to look for a partner in our activity today."

Kinabahan ako.

I don't have any friends here.

Everyone is looking for their partners already and I am still sitting in my chair. Some of my classmates looked at me and started talking in low voices.

I looked away and pretended I did not see them.

I know that I am invisible to them. Parang hindi ako nag-eexist sa mga kaklase ko. I can't remember the last time I spoke to someone inside this class.

This is not a simple problem for a 6th grader. The classroom should be the one that most students can be his or her second home if what he or she has does not seems to be a home.

I don't have no one.

Wala akong kaibigan na maaari kong maging ka-partner para sa activity namin ngayong araw na ito.

Lalabas na lang sana ako ngunit may biglang humarang sa akin.

"Hey!" sabi nito.

Isa sa mga kaklase ko. Hindi ko alam ang kanyang pangalan.

He is taller than me.

"Wala ka pa bang ka-partner?" tanong nito sa akin.

Umiling ako at yumuko.

"Tayo na lang ang partner!" pahayag nito.

Napatingin akong muli rito. Napakalawak ng ngiti nito. Nakataas ang kamay niya sa kanyang batok na tila nahihiya pero nakuha pa rin ang lakas ng loob na makipag-usap.

Bakit kaya nilang gawin 'yon?

"A-ayos lang b-ba?" nauutal kong tanong.

"Oo naman!" sabi nito.

That was the first time I was chosen by one of my classmates.

"Gavin, ang pangalan mo hindi ba?" tanong nito habang gumagawa kami ng aming activity.

Marahan akong tumango. Nakakahiya na alam niya ang pangalan ko pero siya hindi ko kilala.

"Ako nga pala si Tristan." inilahad nito ang kanyang palad.
