"I'm going to confess my feelings to Jennifer after our moving-up ceremony."
Ethan choke on his energy drink when he heard what Indigo said. With a pale complexion, his eyes went wide as he glance at her.
Namumula na napangiti si Indigo sa gulat na mukha ng kaibigan. Kasalukuyang nasa gymnasium sila ngayon dahil nagpa-practice sila for moving-up ceremony na gaganapin next week.
Ilang tulog nalang at magiging senior high na sila. And Indigo wanted to let Jennifer know about her feelings for her before the end of their junior high.
The thing is, matagal ng alam ni Ethan ang tinatagong nararamdaman niya kay Jennifer. Except for her family, si Ethan lang ang may alam ng totoong pagkatao niya.
Grade 8 pa sila noon nang maamin niya sa sarili na may pagtingin nga siya sa babaeng kaibigan. And Indigo confide to Ethan about her feelings right after that.
She wanted to confess, pero bumabahag ang buntot niya.
Rejected or not, she will respect her decision. She just wanted to confess and let her be aware of her affection. Ayaw niya na matapos ang junior high nila ng hindi umaamin kay Jennifer.
"O-Oh," she heard him stutter making her frown her eyebrows. "That's, that's good to hear, I guess?"
"Okay ka lang ba?"
"Oo naman!" Natawa ng malakas si Ethan at agad na nag-iwas ng tingin sakanya.
Pansin ni Indigo na iniiwasan siya ng dalawa lalong lalo na si Ethan pagkatapos ng naging usapan nila nung nakaraang araw.
Hindi siya mapakali kaya nagdesisyon siya na magbihis para puntahan ang bahay ni Jennifer. Magkapitbahay lang naman silang dalawa habang si Ethan naman ay tiga kabilang street.
"Saan ka pupunta?" Tanong ni Asul habang nagbabasa ng pocket books sa salas.
Katabi nito si Red, ang bunso nila na busy sa kaka-trashtalk ng kalaban nito sa mobile legends habang nakasuot ng earphone.
"Kila Jennifer,"
"Sa crush mo?"
Agad na pinulot niya ang labahan na hindi pa nafo-fold at may inis na binato ang kapatid. Tumatawang iniwasan naman ito ni Asul at saka siya pinakyuhan.
Indigo just scoff before going out.
Buti nalang at sabado ngayon. Sa Tuesday na ang moving up ceromony nila at sa Monday naman ang last practice. Kasama silang tatlo na magkakaibigan sa honor call and Indigo is the Valedictorian of their batch.
"Hello, Tita! Si Jenjen po?"
Tanong niya sa Mommy nito pagkapasok sa loob ng bahay. Mukhang may lakad ito ngayon at papaalis na.
