Faded Memories

CHAPTER 6

I don't like you

Gab's POV
I don't know how to avoid him halos araw araw siyang mangugulit saakin kahit lagi ko rin siyang nababara.

"Kamusta course natin" Napabaling ang tingin ko kay Sophie na umupo sa tapat upuang katapat ko.

Im in the library to do advance study malapit na kasi ang semester exam.

"Okay lang naman.. I can handle" I smiles at her.

BS Business Management is a bit hard for me kasi alam kong this is not what I like. I take this because of our business that I know Im the only one who will manage it.

I really want to take Architecture pero business is the life if our family and I need to take care of it after I graduate dahil ako lang naman ang mag mamana nito.

"Ikaw kamusta Nursing mo? " I asked her.

"It's good I enjoy it" She smiled.

Nag kwentuhan kami ni Sophie dahil halos two weeks na kaming hindi nagkikita dahil parehong busy.

Nalipat ang tingin ko sa hagdan papuntang second floor ng library.

And I saw Zack walking downstairs.

Hindi ko alam pero yung katawan ko na mismo yung gumalaw para iligpit ang mga gamit ko na nasa lamesa.

Agad akong tumayo sa upuan.

"Sophie may klase pa pala ako" Paalam ko

"Pero it's already 6 pm wala nang mga klase mga forthyear nalang ang may mid night class" Di ko siya pinakinggan at binalingan ng tingin si Zack na kababa lang ng hagdan. Sakto namang lumipat din ang tingin niya saakin.

Ngumiti siya at kumaway at humakbang.

Inirapan ko siya.

"Bye" Paalam ko saka mabilis na tumakbo palabas  library.

This is what I always do tuwing nakikita ko siya.

Im avoiding him dahil sa kakulitan niya. He's always taking back the topic about sa bathroom and it made me feel so embrassed. 

Hingal na hingal akong tumigil sa isang bench na medyo malayo na sa library.

Umupo ako doon at tumingin sa langit kung saan pababa na ang araw.

Kumalma ang buong katawan ko ng makita ang ganda ng kalangitan.

I closed my eyes when the sky became dark.

The cold wind is touching my skin that makes me relax.

"Ang sarap ng hangin no" My eyed suddenly open nang marining ko ang boses ni Zack.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito? "  I asked at him

"Trip ko lang bakit. Sayo tong campus" He said

Hindi ko na sinagot dahil ayoko nang pahabain pa ang conversation.

"Iniiwasan mo ba ako? " He asked

"Hindi ba halata" Walang ganang sagot ko.

"Bakit? Did I did something wrong? "

"Wala, just I want" I answered.

I can't tell about the real reason dahil alam kong sobrang unreasonable ko.

"Is this about what happen last week at the shower room ----"

"Could you please stop... Hindi ba halata una palang ayoko sayo hindi mo ba nahalata yun! " I shouted

Kitang kita sa mata niya na nagulat siya

"I don't like you...I don't like boys... I don't like bad boys.. Kaya can you please leave me alone... I know kaibigan ka ni Sophie pero hindi ibigsabihin non I can also be your friend! "
"Kilala ka sa campus na ito. Your hearthrob, you have a lot of friends you can talk to them hindi mo kailangan pilitin ang sarili mo na lumapit and be friend with me just because your a friend of my friend... You have a lot of friends kaya alam kong kung lalayuan moko it's just nothing to you... Wag mo pilitin yung sarili mong makihalubilo sakin kung ayaw mo" I ended my words saka umalis sa harap niya.

Alam kong nakaka guilty ang sinabi ko sakaniya pero Im just being honest.

Zack's POV

"Could you please stop... Hindi ba halata una palang ayoko sayo hindi mo ba nahalata yun! " She shouted.

Nagulat ako sa pagtaas ng boses niya, that's the first time I heard him shout.

"I don't like you...I don't like boys... I don't like bad boys.. Kaya can you please leave me alone... I know kaibigan ka ni Sophie pero hindi ibigsabihin non I can also be your friend! "

"Kilala ka sa campus na ito. Your hearthrob, you have a lot of friends you can talk to them hindi mo kailangan pilitin ang sarili mo na lumapit and be friend with me just because your a friend of my friend... You have a lot of friends kaya alam kong kung lalayuan moko it's just nothing to you... Wag mo pilitin yung sarili mong makihalubilo sakin kung ayaw mo" She ended her words saka umalis.

Hindi agad ako nakakita sa nangyari.

She thinks kaya ako nagiging friendly sakaniya ay dahil kay Sophie.

Does she thinks I like Sophie?

Tinignan ko siyang naglalakad malayo na saakin.

"You think kaya ako lumalapit sayo because of Sophie. How funny...." I chuckled.

"I like you... Gusto kita kaya kita nilalapitan... I don't like Sophie,  Gab... I like you if you only know that. " Napailing ako sa sarili ko.

This is the first time kung saan naging ganto ako ka torpe sa isang babae. I am the kind of guy that can tell what I want and because of one simple girl naging ganto ako.

Pero hindi ako nagsisi, I like what i felt especially what i felt when I see her smile.

"Zack bro kamusta" Greg greet me as he saw me.

Inabutan niya agad ako ng isang shot ng alak.

Agad ko itong nilagok at umupo sa couch.
