Boyfriends Season 1 | Heartful Academy 2

Chapter 23

KIT SMITH

AFTER class, sabay na kaming lumabas ng classroom ni Crystal, Ram and Tristan. Crystal and I stayed quiet, while the two kept laughing with their own jokes. Wala silang pinagkaiba sa Bravo Boys, so loud and plenty of energy to do crazy things.

But one thing I liked them is pagdating sa seryosong bagay they become matured to think and solve things. Hindi rin sila naghahanap ng gulo, unlike ni Ace at ng iba niyang kaibigan na laging bully.

Pagdating namin sa front yard ng aming school building ay napatigil kami nang makitang papalapit sa 'min ang mga kasamahan kong Bravo Team. Kahit malayo palang rinig na ang ingay nila.

Nakaakbay pa si Ace kay Christian na tahimik lang. When Christian is with them tahimik lang siya at bihirang nagsasalita, but when comes to me hindi siya nauubosan ng sasabihin, that's one of the thing I liked about him.

When they got close to us, Christian and I just stared at each other while Ace kept talking. "Let's go training..." sabi niya and I slowly nodded. Tinignan ko kung sino-sino ang mga kasama nila and all Bravo Team are here, mukhang sinundo nga nila ang isa't isa sa magkaibang classroom.

As I kept looking I try to smile when I saw Christian's friends, nasa gilid lang sila at parihong tahimik. But I even surprised when I saw Rifah, Christian's girlfriend.

"Nandito ang mga kaibigan at girlfriend ni Christian, manunuod daw sila sa training. Kaya isama mo na rin mga kaibigan mo Kit, para marami tayo, mas masaya." Tugon ni Ace. "Hindi na tol, may pupuntahan pa kami." Sagot naman ni Ram.

Tumango naman si Ace at nakipag fist bump pa sa 'kin sina Ram at Trsitan bago sila umalis. Si Crystal naman ngayon ang nilingon ni Ace. "How about Crystal? Sumama ka na, para may inspiration si Kit..." he partnered us again.

All my friends ay parang kinikilig na nag-iingay, they like me for Crystal. Ace even slowly pushed me to get more closer to Crystal. But I just stayed quiet. I don't know how to react, what to say, and I don't even know how to tell that I don't have feelings for Crystal.

Dahan-dahan ko nilingon si Crystal and I saw her looking at me, pero umiwas din siya ng tingin na parang nahihiya. I sometimes don't know what to think about her, I try to approach her so many times on our class but she just stunned to speak.

Hindi siya introvert dahil nakikisama naman siya sa iba. She's not like this to anyone, only on me. Daig ko pa ang actor na parang nakakahiyang lapitan.

While Ace kept pushing me to get close to Crystal dahan-dahan ko naman nilingon si Christian, and I only got my eyes on him. I saw little bit of sadness on Christian face, he can't even look at me and to Crystal, hanggang sa napayuko nalang siya.

Umiling si Crystal. "H-Hindi na, kailangan ko na din umuwi dahil hinahanap na ako ni Mama." Tumanggi siya sa kagustohan ni Ace na sumama siya sa 'min. "Sige Crystal, I respect your decision." Tumango si Ace.

Hindi na nagpaalam sa 'kin si Crystal dahil parang nahihiya siya, kaya umalis nalang siya. Nagsimula na rin kaming lumakad ngayon papunta sa Sports Society.

All my teammates ay nando'n na sa field nag start ng kanilang training. While Christian and I left here on changing room. Kami lang ang magkasama dahil nasa labas naghihintay ang mga kaibigan niya, exclusive for players in Bravo Team lang kasi ang changing room na 'to.

Habang magkatabi kami nagbibihis ni Christian ay kanina ko pa siya tinitignan na naka side view. I kept staring at him na parang I memorizing his face. Matangos ang ilong niya at medyo malaki ang side.

Kahit dahan-dahan siyang lumingon ay hindi pa rin ako umiwas ng tingin. "What?" Tumawa siya na nagtanong.

Walang salita-salita ay maingat kong hinawakan ang ilong niya. "You have a cutie giant nose..." I laugh habang pinipisil-pisil ko pa ang kanyang ilong. Instead mapikon ay nakuha pa rin niyang sabayan ako sa pagtawa. "I thought you prefer to pat my head and ruffled my hair..." sabi pa niya.

"Oh, that was fine also." Binitawan ko ang ilong niya at ginugulo ko naman ngayon ang makapal niyang buhok. Pero bumalik pa rin ako sa paghawak sa ilong niya. "But this is the perfect spot..." sabay tawa ko.

"Stop it, It may caused me hard to breath." After he said it I removed my hand on his nose. "Oh, sorry." I softly say sorry.

But my eyes are still looking at him. "Why you kept staring at me? Ano na naman ang nakita mo sa mukha ko?" Tanong niya. I slowly move my face closer to him, tinignan ko ang mapula niyang labi. "Your lips, it has a nice shape. Hindi mo na kailangan magpa-surgery, because you have a perfect big lips." Look like I get obssessed to his lips, I badly want to touch it.

He smiled, making him even attractive. "Oh, thank you." He lost that smile. "But wait a minute, ano naman ang gagawin mo ngayon sa labi ko? Because after you appreciate my hair and nose you make fun with it." Nakakunot ang noo niya, I think kilalang-kilala na nga niya ako.

I nodded. "Oh nothing." And I smiled. "But I wanna touch your lips..." I gently hold his cheeks na malapit sa labi niya, and I kept popping it so his lips are moving. He look cute habang walang reaction siyang nakatingin sa 'kin.

He hold my hand. "Stop it, you shouldn't touch my lips, it should be kissed." I get stunned when he said it. "C-Can I kiss it?" He get frowned and slowly nodded. "Y-Yeah. I-If you want to?"

Dahan-dahan ko inilapit ang mukha ko sa kanya and I saw him closed his eyes. But later on I stopped. "I-It was just a joke right? Your girlfriend will upset if she caught us." I said and he slowly nodded. "Y-Yeah, you're right."

Pumunta na kami sa sports complex at nagsimula ulit mag training dito sa field. Well, hindi naman commendatory na mag training kami ngayon dahil medyo malayo pa ang sunod naming competition na salihan, wala nga dito si Coach at ang gusto niya makapag pahinga muna kami dahil kakatapos lang ng tournament.

Pero napag-usapan ng mga kasama namin na mag training ngayon kahit na ilang oras lang para ma-maintain namin ang aming skills and strength. Especially to Christian.

Some of my teammates ay nasa corner lang nakaupo, some just having warm up like running around this field. And I take a water break, nandito ako sa gilid at tinitignan ko si Christian na nakipaglaro pa rin sa ibang ka-team namin kasama do'n si Ace.

Nagawa pang maka-goal ni Christian kaya napangiti ako, lalapit sana ako sa kanila pero dali-dali siyang tumakbo papunta sa mga kaibigan niya. Nang makalapit siya ay agad na tumalon si Rifah papunta sa kanya at niyakap siya nito.

I saw them so sweet. They have a strong bond, and strong relationship neither. I saw joy on his face, not just because he's with his friends, but also because of her. Dahan-dahan akong napayuko. I can't explain what I feel, but one thing for sure, I kept on trying to be happy for them.
