Crush
Nakayuko lang ako habang kumakain at hindi na nagtangkang mag-angat ng tingin. I'm thinking paano ako makakabawi sa pang-aapi sa akin ng mga pinsan ko. Damn! Cliff is so fucking chismoso, that he even told them the detailed scenery of my 'intentional hug' to Jin . Kaya ang nangyari, ginatungan pa nila Damien ang kwento! Even Kuya Travis betrayed me! The worst, Kuya Trevor's teammates were listening!
They think I'll fall for a guy I just met? Anong akala nila sa akin? And si Jin pa? Yes, he's handsome at the same time cute. But hindi ba nila naisip, I'm just freaking fifteen! Palibhasa malalandi sila!
I glanced at kuya Trav enjoying his food beside me. "Lavatory." I whispered at kinurot ko siya. Tumango lang siya at ngumisi. He loves pissing me off bigtime!
I'm on my way to comfort room while plotting my verge of revenge to my cousins. Yeah! Matitikman nila ang bagsik ng isang api nang bumangga na na naman ako sa isang dibdib.
When God showered clumsiness, sinalo ko nga ang lahat!
Nag-angat ako ng tingin at nakita ang dahilan kaya ako maghihiganti. Does my luck destined to be ill-fated?
"It seems like you're on your deep thought. Hindi ka na naman nakatingin. You have a problem?" ngiti niya.
My problem here is you! They thought I got a crush on you! I want to shout him that, but I remained calm. Why is it big deal to me kung gano'n iniisip nila? Syempre, Traiva, ando'n 'yung teammates ng Kuya mo. So? What's with the teammates dear? Mababaliw na ata ako.
Umiling na lamang ako at ngumiti. I don't want to talk to him. Baka kung ano lang ang masabi ko sa kanya.
Tinignan niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa at ngumiti ulit siya.
"Aunt Gizella told me that you also know how to paint. You have a soothing voice and you can play musical instruments. They were right when they said you're not just a pretty face, you're talented, too. You're good. So ideal." he sound so sincere. Napaangat ako ng tingin sa kanya. As I looked at his face, I saw the unfeigned admiration.
Damn! He praised me and I'm actually flattered that i felt my cheeks blushed! Madalas may pumupuri sa akin pero bihira lang ang alam kong nagsasabi ng totoo at hindi ako sanay sa ganoon.
"Ah, T-Thank you?" sabi ko at tumingin na lamang sa sahig.
"And you're adorable, too" Jin laughed.
My ears flicked automatically. What he said sounds really familiar. Malamang palagi sinasabi sa akin ng mga ulupong 'yan! Kaya lagi nila akong pinagtatawanan!
Salubong ang kilay ang ginawad ko sa kanya. Ang kaninang nahihiyang awra ay napalitan ng galit! I want him to know that his recent remark did not please me. But damn, bakit siya tumawa lalo?
"Can I excuse myself now? I need to pee." now I'm pissed. Again. Gusto ko na pumunta sa restroom ng mapayapa.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just want you to know that everything I said are true." he smiled again. A kind of smile that can rid your anger swiftly.
"Hanapin mo ang pake ko." bulong ko sa sarili.
"Traiva, you're really pretty." he winked at me at umalis na rin.
Tumalikod ako at nagsimula ng maglakad. "Bolero." umiling ako ng nakangiti.
Pumasok ako sa loob ng restroom. I'm not really going to pee. I just want to calm myself alone. Everyone is pissing me off. I checked myself and sprayed some perfume at lumabas na ng bumangga na naman nga ako sa isang mabangong dibdib. Ang nahulog na isang bagay ay hindi ko na napansin dahil sa kanyang amoy. His addicting smell filled my nose.
