"Kennedy?" Tumingala ako nang tawagin ako ni Drake. He's sitting on the sofa. I looked at Lucas, tinanguan niya ako.

"Gwen is right. I...I like you." Drake looked at me. Nailang ako kaya iniiwas ko ang tingin. Lucas is still inside but I'm thankful. With him being around pakiramdam ko I don't have to worry about anything.

"Akala ko there's a thing between you two?" Curious na tanong ni Drake
"I..I'm about to confess to you D..Drake b-but Lucas caught me."

This time yumuko na ko nakakahiya. Suddenly, may humawak sa chin ko at dahan-dahang iniangat ang ulo ko.

"I'm so sorry Kennedy." Malungkot na boses ni Drake and he hugged me, I hugged him back.

"I like you too." Wika ni Drake.

*Dun dun dun*

A/n: ooopppps. 😲

Kumalas ako sa yakap ni Drake at umatras. I looked at Lucas. He's just staring at me too. A smile formed in his lips but when I looked at his eyes, malungkot siya.

Lumapit siya sa amin at inabot sa akin ang kusot kusot na papel.

"You finally confessed. Sorry kung punit na yan but nababasa pa naman." Malungkot niyang wika.

Tiningnan ko ang inabot niyang papel. Eto yung sulat na dinikit ko sa pinto. Punit nga pero nababasa pa.

"I leave you guys here" -Lucas
"Lucas." Hinawakan ko siya sa kamay. He smiled at kinalas ang kamay niya.

Bakit di ako masaya? 👉👈

After Lucas left, Drake and I sat down at nag-usap.

I told him about my feelings since Junior High. About the day na magconfess sana ako pati na rin ang araw na naghatid ako ng duffel bag.

"I didn't know. I'm so sorry. Sorry for everything. Sorry for what Vanessa did at sa ginawa ni Gwen."
"Its fine."
"Funny but I also like you. I don't know when but I stopped when Lucas..."
"What?" Gulat kong tanong.
"Huh?"

Tama ba narinig ko? He likes me too? Ayaw magsink in ng sinasabi niya. I don't know why but my thoughts are with Lucas. Di ko maiwasan maisip si Lucas eh katabi ko naman ngayon yung crush ko.

"Um...Drake can we talk about this next time? Sorry but I really can't process, everything happened so fast."
"Its fine Kennedy. I know its complicated. I'm really sorry."
"I better go. I guess you should talk to Gwen not me."

I left him without waiting for his answer.

"No no no. This can't be!"

Hinanap ko sila William, Aurora at August. I need to talk to them.
