UNTOLD THOUGHTS (One Shot Collection)

JUST LOOK AT THE STARS

"Whenever you miss me, just look at the stars."

I stopped reading when I heard a familiar voice. My eyes widened when I saw him in front of me. Si Clark, crush ko. As usual he was wearing a school uniform, his black hair brushed up and he was wearing an eyeglasses that made him more attractive in my eyes.

Ilang araw na ring palagi ko siyang nakikita rito kaya naisipan ko na rin ditong magbasa. Gusto ko lang naman siyang makita pero hindi ko akalain na kakausapin niya ako.

"H-ha?" I stuttered. I almost jumped on my seat when our eyes met.

My heart beats faster. I felt my cheeks burning red as I looked at him once more. He smiled. He shooked his head and glanced at the book he was holding.

Oh! Damn!

"He's not talking to me! He's talking to the book," I whispered and massaged my head.

Medyo napahiya ako ro'n. Ghad!

Pinagpatuloy ko na lang ang pagbabasa ko at iniwas ang tingin sa kaniya.

"I'm talking to you," he suddenly said that made my heart beats faster even more. Halos isubsob ko na ang mukha ko sa librong binabasa ko para lang hindi niya makita ang pisngi ko.

He heard it?! Wtf?

"W-why?"

"What? Is it forbidden?" I heard him chuckled. Ramdam kong nakatingin siya sa akin kaya hindi ko pa rin tinanggal ang librong binabasa ko sa harap ko.

"N-No.."

What the fuck is wrong with me?! I can't even read properly. Damn!

"Are you mad at me?"

"What?! No!" I defensively said.

"You're mad."

"No."

"You are. You can't even look at me," he said.

Silence..

Beat..

I thought hindi na siya muling magsasalita but nagulat na lang ako nang bigla niyang kunin ang librong nasa harapan ko. My eyes widened when our eyes met.

I looked down and bit my lower lip.

"Did I do something wrong?" he asked carefully.

"No."

"Look at me."

"A-Ayaw."

"Klea," lalong nag-init ang pisngi ko nang banggitin niya ang pangalan ko. "Look at me."

He immediately held my chin and our eyes met. Parang gusto ko na tumayo sa kinauupuan ko at iwan siya pero dahil mabait ako mas gusto kong kasama siya.

"Are you blushing?"

"What?! Yes! Uh, I mean... no!"

Agad akong nag-iwas ng tingin at napahawak sa pisngi ko.

He laughed.

I bit my lower lip. His voice makes my heart melt. It's like a music in my ears.

"Should I kiss you?" I immediately looked at him when he said those words. Napakurap pa ako.

He laughed again, "You're cute," he smiled as he pinched my cheeks. "Don't bit your lower lip again, I might kiss you."

Hindi man lang ako makapagsalita sa mga sinasabi niya. Nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya hanggang sa muli siyang magsalita.
