My smile faltered.
Nangatog ang mga tuhod ko.
I didn't expect he'll be that bold!
What did he just say?
He's hooked?
With what?!
With whom?
With me?!
Oh my gosh! Nahahapo yata ang hininga ko!
I stared at him, with my eyes wide in shock, unable to take it all in.
Hindi ako maka paniwala.
Is he really serious about that?
He seems so transparent then!
We weren't even close!
Not even acquainted!
And we've met like just, yesterday!
Duh!
Unti-unti ay nanliliit ang mga mata niya. Nahihimigan siguro ang pagkabigla ko.
"Are you—"
"I'm alright!" Agap ko, sabay hagilap ng pagkakaabalahan. I need a reason to get away! I then looked at my wrist watch. "And I'm late!" Nagpapalusot ako but damn! I know I'm a good actress!
Nakita kong medyo nagulat siya sa sinabi ko. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung dahil ba late na nga ako, o hindi ako tagumpay sa pag-arte?
Whatever!
I left that place immediately.
I heard him call.
"H-hey!"
"I gotta go! Bye!"
Tuluyan na akong tumakbo. Naniwala nalang akong late na nga ako para talagang maging mas determinado akong umalis doon.
Habol-habol ko ang hininga nang makarating sa next class.
What the hell was that?!
Umupo ako at walang pinansin sa mga ka-klase ko. They don't seem to mind me aswell anyway so I focused on my self.
My heart seems wanna get out of my chest!
Gusto kong maniwalang dahil iyon sa pagtakbo, but damn it I know it accelerated even before I left him there!
I don't wanna fool my self now. Pero bakit parang ako pa ang kailangang mahiya?!
He's the one having a crush and not the other way around so why would I be this shy and even feel scared?!
Wait, am I scared?
Tinuwid ko ang pagkakaupo.
Kahit naghuhuramintado na ako ay siniguro kong banayad ang mga kilos at galaw ko.
Though, I can't really just hide the difficulty in my breathing.
Why the hell would I need to run that fast anyway?!
Silly Zophoeah!
Pinagalitan ko ang sarili sa utak at nagpasya nalamang na inilabas ang librong dapat sana ay aaralin ko.
Oo nga pala at dapat ay nag-aaral ako!
But look at where I ended up!
Damn it.
Sa tanang buhay ko, ngayon lang yata ako kakabahan sa recitation!
But atleast, not because I don't have an answer! But because my mind is ultimately lost somewhere!
