It's been weeks since we've gone to EK. Papalapit na rin Sportsfest namin, next next week na. And I've been practicing for the competition, with Coco, Ate Sela, and Ate Belle guiding me. At first it was hard kasi di ako medyo sanay pero I have gotten used to it. Kasama ko ngayon si Gelo nagprapractice kasi siya pala yung napiling kapartner ko.
"Let's go home?", tingin ko kay Gelo at tumango.
Kakatapos lang ng training namin, malapit na kasi ang District Meet and sportsfest at maglalaro rin ako sa volleyball team ng section namin. Next week na start ng elimination ng mga teams para di raw sayang sa oras.
"Do you want to go eat muna?", nasa sasakyan niya kami ngayon at malapit na kami sa isang restaurant.
"Sige, di rin kasi ako nakakain kanina", sabi ko at niliko na niya ang sasakyan papunta sa resto. Nang makapark na kami pumasok na kami sa loob.
Di ko mapigilang isipin kung sino si M, because it's been weeks na pero may mga pagkain, gamit, or sulat akong natatanggap dito. It's not I'm creeped out by it, eventually I find it cute. I'm pretty sure it's not Gelo, because sabi niya di naman daw siya.
"Ella, ano order mo?", napatingin ako kay Gelo, nazone out pala ako kanina.
"Carbonara lang, ikaw na bahala", sabi ko at hinugot na ang phone ko sa aking bag.
I saw a notif that Gia just followed me on Insta. We've been getting close lately and Gia's been acting weird since the whole Ferris Wheel thingy. She has been kind to me. Pero iniiwasan pa rin ako, I don't know may araw na mabait, may araw na di ako pinapansin ot cold siya saakin.
"Ok ka lang? Kanina ka pa kasi nakatulala jan at mukhang matamlay ka", tanong ni Gelo saakin at hinawakan ang noo at leeg ko.
"I'm ok, pagod lang siguro sa training at practice natin kanina", kinuha ko ang baso na nasa harapan ko at ininom ito.
"After this, magpahinga ka kaagad. Ok?"
"Yes, I know"
Nang dumating na ang pagkain namin, kumain na kami at umuwi na rin.
"Ella?", narinig ko kay Gelo, pagka-open ko sa aming pintuan. "Wala naman akong kaagaw no?"
"Huh? Ano pinagsasabi mo?", humarap ako sakanya na nalilito.
"Wala lang because lately you've been distant towards me. I know that I'm still courting you, pero I think you've someone else in mind now", malungkot na sabi nito.
"Gelo, pinagsasabi mo?", hinawakan ko ang kamay nito. "Umuwi ka na at gabi na", pumasok na ako sa bahay at nagpaalam na kay Gelo bago ko pa man isara ang pintuan.
Umakyat na ako sa taas at pumasok na sa kwarto ko. After I got ready for bed, humiga na ako. What does Gelo mean by that kanina? Sino ba yung iba? I'm not really hanging out with somebody else, and I rarely go out with somebody. Just with Ate Lara and her friends and Coco and Brei.
I heard a notif pop up sa phone ko. I checked who it is and si Gia pala.
"You ok? You looked pale earlier"
"Just a little tired kanina"
"Why are you still awake?
I thought you're tired?"
"I was about to but
you messaged me. Ikaw?
Ba't gising ka pa?"
"So you prioritize me now
than your sleep? That's
so sweet Amat. And to
answer your question,
I can't sleep cause you
have been running on
my mind lately."
