SCHOOL SECRETS

CHAPTER ELEVEN: SCHOOL SECRETS

" just keep me at the back of your mind,
just in case you need a reminder... "

"Are you kidding me?"

Yo'n ang una kong natanong kay Ivan nung tinanggal niya yung kamay niya that's covering both of my eyes, to reveal a familiar building in front of me.

It was our school.

More like my elementary school back then.

Why are we here? And paano niya naisip na pupunta kami dito?

He really texted me last night about this place na magandang pikturan... and it's this building?

This school? Really?

I can hear his chuckle just near my ears and naramdaman ko ang pagyakap niya sa'kin sa likod nang mahigpit.

"It's still beautiful, full of memories... di ba?" he spoke.

Yes it is pretty pero bakit nga dito?

Ba't di na lang doon sa may gym malapit sa barangay na'min? Ba't di na lang yun? Ang dami ko pang naaalalang mga festival doon, naaalala ko rin yung first festival date na'ming dalawa.

So why here?

"Isn't this school closed already?" I smiled at him, inialis niya ang pagkakayakap niya sa'kin and instead hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"Yes, but don't you remember... di ba ang ganda nito dati? Pati rin yung play ground!"

I can see the way his eyes sparkle.

"Nag-aral ka ba dito?" tanong ko sa kanya.

I mean, it's possible na nag-aral siya dito pero doesn't it mean na magclassmate kami or something noon pa?

"No, but I wish, e 'di sana nakasama na kita dati dito, e'di sana matagal nang naging tayo.." sipsip niya.

I sighed dahil sa narinig ko, magpapakilig pa talaga siya. Nakakainis ka, Ivan. I hate you so much!

Pinisil ko ang ilong niya nang mahigpit dahilan para magulat siya.

"Hey! Hey! Masakit!" iyak niya, tumawa ako dahil sa pag-iba ng expression niya.

"Seriously! Tell me the truth kung bakit ito ang napili mo, magpapakilig ka pa..." I stopped and tried to hide my smile.

"Well, you told me once na nag-aral ka dito right?" he asks, trying to breathe.

Hinarap ko siya, well... I did remember once telling him that. When we had our date or nung naglakad lang yata kami nun?

Ha... it's been a long time so yeah. Pero buti medyo naaalala ko pa rin yung mga maliliit na bagay thanks to this dummy here.

"At naaalala mo pa talaga 'yon?" I said, this time while showing my smile.

Ngumiti din siya sa'kin, "Of course..." he pauses, averting my stare at him sabay kamot sa leeg niya.

""How can I not know that?" I can see a small smirk creeping from his lips.

"Fine, sige na. Baka kung ano nanamang sasabihin mo para lang pakiligin mo 'ko."
