I saw Dave pass by.....
Kaya hinila ko ito gamit ang kanyang kamay, at hindi naman ito nakatangi. I saw my classmates dismay when I didn't pull Kyler.
"Ehhhh???" takang reaction ni Kia habang ito'y nakatingin sa akin.
Hawak-hawak ko pa rin ang kamay ni Dave...
"Crush mo'ko Kim?" biglang tanong ni Dave.
Umiling ako, "No choice lang, wag mag assume." napabusangot na lang ito, at natawa na lang ako sa reaksiyon niya.
Nadaanan ng aking mata si Kyler na naka-upo lang sa gilid..... Walang pumili sa kanya?
"Kim, akala ko ba si ano ang gusto mo?" biglang kunsolta ni ma'am sa akin....
Di ako nakasagot, baka mahuli pa ako ni Kyler.
"Uyy teh mukhang galit si bebe mo kanina." sambit sa akin ni Kia. I opened the drink I bought and sipped in it..
"Hindi no.. baka minamata ka lang." I replied.
Nakatambay kami ngayon sa canteen, dahil nauuhaw ako....
"Nah, I saw what I saw." she sighed.. "At feeling ko nagselos siya talaga.." she assured me...
Paano naman siya magseselos? May nililigawan naman siya diba??
Bumalik na uli kami sa room, at nadatnan na nagsimula na sila sa bagong category.
Love or Hate?"
At saktong turno na ni Kyler....
Ma'am slowly recited our classmates surnames including mine, and he should honestly say if he loves or hates the being....
"Huat ng?" ma'am said..
I heard his sigh, "l-love." mahina nitong sambit..
He didn't know that I was there and heard him.
Dahil din siguro sa kaniyang kaba?
"Whooooooo" the room filled with screams again.
"Do you love him as a friend or a lover?" ma'am asked again.
H-he loves me?
"A-s a friend." he shyly spoke.
he loves me, only as a friend...
------------------------------------------
"Confess or consequences..." ma'am announced. the last category...
I breathed heavily, heart broken on what I heard earlier.... I'm just a friend.
Lutang akong nakatingin sa kanila.... I'm too occupied right now.
"Mr. Huat ng." ma'am called,but I didn't respond.
"HUAT NG." She called again... "Yes?'
" Maglalaro ka pa ba?" tanong nito. Bahagya akong tumayo at umoo.
"Confess to someone you love." she said teasingly..
I sighed, and went to Dave....
"Dave," tawag ko na ikinalingon nito, "Oh?"
"Crush kita," lumingon ako sa pwesto ni Kyler na nakatingin sa akin... "Matagal na." I added.
I saw a bit of irritation in Kyler eyes....Is he maybe, jealous?
"Really?" biglang napatingin ako kay Dave na ngayon ay natutuwang nakatingin sa akin.
I nodded, "Oo." Liar.
Pero it's better than to be rejected right?
