[IVAN]

I love her. I am pretty sure of that. I try to figure out what is this feeling for the whole one year. And I confirm the feeling.

It's been a year since Clarence Left the country. It's been a year since I've been following Ayane.

At first, Binabantayan ko lang sya dahil yun ang sabi ni Clarence. But a month later, I didn't follow her because Clarence told me so. Hinahanap hanap na sya ng paningin ko. Hinahanap hanap ko na ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko tuwing nakikita ko sya.

Pati ang pagiging Casanova ko ay nakalimutan ko na. Naging ordinaryo nalang ang itsura para sakin ng mga babaeng nakakasalamuha ko dito sa school. Wala nang panget o maganda. Dahil para sakin. Si Ayane nalang ang maganda. Si Ayane nalang ang nakikita ng mata ko.

"Hoy lalaking walang magawa sa buhay! Ano?! Tutunganga ka nalang dyan?! Susunod kaba sakin o ilalampaso ko yang mukha mo sa sahig?!" Sigaw ni Ayane habang papasok sa Gate.

She was talking to me. Yes, sabay kaming pumasok lagi. Pero sabay lang kami pagpasok sa gate, kasi dun ko sya laging hinihintay.

Tumakbo na ako papunta sakanya at inakbayan sya. "Bakit ba ang init ng ulo ko babe? Meron kaba ngayon?" Yeah, I'm making my move to get closer to her.

Diring diri nyang tinanggal ang braso ko sa balikat nya. "Don't call me babe." Pagkatapos nun ay mabilis na syang lumakad at iniwan ako.

Napapout naman ako. "Wait Babe!!" Habol ko sakanya. Pero napatigil ako ng marinig ko ang boses ni Kei.

"ViNA!!! Sabing di ko kilala yun e. Kasalanan na bang maging gwapo?!" Habol ni Kei si Vina na mabilis na naglalakad.

I know mahirap maging gwapo. Pero kasalanan yung mag-assume kang gwapo ka, kung hindi naman (-_-")

"Ewan ko sayo!! May pahawak hawak pa sa braso mo! Akala mo kagandahan! Eh maganda pa katulong namin sa bahay dun eh!" Sigaw din ni Vina habang tuloy sa pagtakbo.

Marami nang nagbago. Si Kei at Vina lang ang hindi nagbabago. Puro parin sila bangayan.

Si Ryu? Dati si Vina ang laman ng sketchPad nya. Ngayon hindi na. Cute yung babae pero hindi ko kilala.

Yung kambal na Dranrei at Andrei ay hindi na Nerd. Kung dati ay hindi sila pinapansin sa Campus, ngayon ay tinagurian na silang Mr. and Ms. Cutie.

Si Clarence at Vince ay nagkaayos. Hindi na kasing slow ng dati si Clarence. May improvement na sakanya, although madalas padin hindi napapakinabangan utak nya. Nagkakavideocall kami ni Clarence.

Si kuya Luke? He has a GirlFriend named Charlene Guillarte. Nameet ko na sya. Morena sya pero maganda. May times na mukha syang Koreana dahil sa chinita eyes nya pero mas mukha syang bumbay. Sabi ni Kuya Luke, she's a model daw. Well, bagay lang kay ate Charlene, sexy sya at maganda. No doubt.

While me and Ayane? I am now courting her. Kahit ayaw nya magpaligaw, kinukulit ko padin sya.

Mabilis ba? Parang kahapon lang di ako sigurado pero ngayon nililigawan ko na sya?

Well, Love really comes unexpectedly. Hindi mo alam kung kelan, saan o paano ka maiinlove. Basta titibok nalang ang puso mo and booom!! You are deeply inlove.

"Bro, we're getting late." Inakbayan pa ako ni Renz. Kasunod niya si Adrian na hawak ang tablet niya.

We're Seniors. One more year and we're high school graduates.

[AYANE]

Being sophomore is really boring. Nakakaboring lahat ng lesson.

" I am sleepy...." Narinig kong bulong ni Vina sa tabi ko. Well, the feeling is mutual.

Sabay kaming napabuntong hininga ni Vina at tumungo. I am facing her while she's facing me.

We just stare at each other until she speak. And I wish that she just keep her mouth shut.

"Ate, Nililigawan kaba ni kuya Ivan?" She ask.

I shrug. "Sabi nya." Walang ganang sagot ko.

"May chance ba si Kuya sayo? I mean, I don't want to see him hurt. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na nanligaw si Kuya, and I think he's really serious about you." Seryosong sya na parang nag-aalala talaga sya sa kuya nya.

I don't know what to say. I don't want to lie. But I don't also want to see Vina Sad.

"Miss. Alvarez is looking at the both of you." I heard Kei whisper.

Umayos na si Vina ng upo samantalang ako ay nakatungo padin. Well, I am the rule in this school. Everyone knows that. I knew all their dirty secrets.

I face to my right and look at Ryu. The Sitting Arrangement were still the same.

"Hey. What is Love for you?" I ask him.

He just look me and his brows narrowed. And then he look away.

Yeah, what am I really thinking? what is love? silly question.

I close my eyes and about to sleep when I hear Ryu's voice. "Joke"

I smile at that thought. Yeah, Love is a Joke. It is far from reality.

It is funny when people say I don't know why I loved you. I just felt it with no reason.

That's insane! If they say that you fell inlove at the very first sight. Then you are already captivated by their looks. But when you fell inlove even the person is... well, let's say not that pretty. But then you are just amazed by something in her. It is kindness or her attitude. You all have the reason.

And like what I've said. Captivated, amazed and the list go on. But no Love..

But my thought cut by Ryu. "Sometimes it's just for fun. We thought that it can't be true. But sometimes, it is true. Just like this joke said." He gave me a piece of paper. I look at it.

boy : do you love someone?
girl : yes.
boy : do i know him?
girl : yes.
boy : is there any chance that I can take you away from him?
girl : silly! How can you take me away from you? (the girl laugh)
boy : so... you love me?
(a girl came and kiss the boy. she's the girl's bestfriend and the boy's best friend.)
girl : (look away) no. i was just joking. (the girl ran and wipe her tears)

-

"That's what I mean. They'll tell you they are joking when the fact is they are just afraid of saying the truth. Jokes are half meant." He said.

So, this is what love is for him?

"Silly. I won't believe in love." Sabi ko. then hide my face in my arms facing the desk.

"You don't believe but one day, you'll just notice that you are already drown to love."

I don't know why but I felt my tears is about to fall. Shit?! Why am I crying?! For what?!

"Shut up. I will never fall with that digusting love." I whisper.

"You will know, when he's already gone."

I look at him "What do you mean?"

He look at me. "There are different kind of love. Love for the Family, Love with arts, music or whatever. And Love for your opposite sex. Even the bible believes in Love. The Love of God for his Creation."
