Boys



As expected, madaling kumalat ang balita tungkol sa lunch namin ni Reese noong Monday. It spreaded like wildfire at hindi lang sa school namin, pati na rin sa other schools.


"Check this oh! Nasa FB page ng school confessions natin ang picture niyong dalawa."


Ipinakita ni Bea sa akin ang picture na tinutukoy niya. It's a picture taken of me and Reese, looking happily talking, and laughing. Of course, most are candid. 


Ngumiti ako dahil na-alala ko ang naging topic namin diyan. He was asking me kasi about a certain teacher na teacher ko na naging teacher niya before. He shared that the particular teacher always had a bad temper to their class before. Shinare niya rin ang mga experiences nila with the teacher at nakakatawa yung way ng pagka-bahagi niya sa akin.


"Oy! Ngumingiti siya..." tukso ni Bea sa akin na siyang nagpa-pawi ng ngiti ko. Ayokong mag-assume siya ng kung ano-ano man,.


"Ang cute! Bagay kayo," komento ni Cherry.


Somehow, what she said made me feel good. Is this what it feels like?


The feeling of having..., a crush?


Kumunot ang noo ko sa aking inisip.


I can't be having a crush on him upon our first actual real interaction. I mean..., yes! Reese Apollo Domingo is handsome. He's also surprisingly funny, tall, moreno, medyo may kasingkitan ang mata, at maganda ang ngiti.


If I were to have a crush on him or on anyone for that matter, I really need to know more about the person. 


"Where's Nicole?" I asked.


Kasalukuyan kaming nasa break at wala si Nicole sa usual spot namin rito sa school grounds kung saan may mga benches. 


Maraming students rin ang nandito. It's a nice place to hang out because it's surrounded by trees that shade the benches and open area rin siya kaya mahangin.


"I don't know. She said earlier na may dadaanan raw siya but she didn't say where."


"Yeah, but I saw her went to the 2nd floor so baka sa library 'yon pumunta."


Tumango lang ako sa naging response nila. I then roamed my eyes around and noticed that most students, especially the boys are gawking at where we were sitting. Some are familiar faces, usually mga ka-grade level ko lang din at mga upper years. The girls are also looking and whenever I caught them eyeing at us or..., at me, I just smiled.


Nakarandam ako ng pagkauhaw kaya kinuha ko iyong binili kong juice at habang umiinom ako at tumitingin sa paligid, nahagip ng aking mga mata ang dalawang tao na sabay na naglalakad sa sidewalks ng school.


Fina with..., Henryk.


They're walking as they're talking to each other and from the looks of it, mukhang seryoso ng conversation nila. My sister has that serious look on her face kaya ko napagtanto iyon.
