Chapter 07

"Papa," Tawag ko sa kanya nang maka-pasok ako sa kotse.

"Bakit? May naiwan ka ba?" I quickly shook my head.

"May gusto lang po akong tanungin sa inyo." Sabi ko.

"Ano 'yon?" Tanong niya.

"Uhm, ano po kasi." Nakita kong kumunot ang noo niya.

"Ano nga 'yon?" He asked, he also started to drive.

"I just want to ask po, if pwede na po ba akong magka-crush?" I asked innocently, napa-ubo si Papa dahil doon.

"Sino namang crush mo, Didi?" Tanong ni Papa, nang-aasar.

"Pa naman, e." I pleased, malakas siyang tumawa.

"I trust you, anak. I know that you already know your priorities and your limits, basta ay huwag mong papabayaan ang studies at saliri mo." Bilin ni Papa, ngumiti ako at tumango.

Ngumisi siya at humalakhak.

"Si Friz ba ang crush mo, Mien?" Tanong niya sa'kin, I pouted and I'm forcing myself not to smile.

"Silence means yes. Nasaan ba 'yong cellphone ko? Matawagan nga 'yon si son-in-law." Pang-aasar niya, hinawakan ko ang kanyang braso.

" 'Pa naman, hindi niya pa alam." Saway ko.

"Oh, edi maganda! Ako na mismo ang magiging tulay ng love story niyo!" He said,  smirking.

I stopped him many times but he started to call Friz, talagang gusto niyang sabay kaming dalawa ni Friz papuntang Star High.

"Hindi siya sumasagot, si Lolo M na lang tatawagan ko." He said and he started to call him.

"Lolo M! Good morning po! Nasaan si Friz? Ah, nasa labas na ng subdivision? Sabay daw silang papasok sabi ni Dianne, e!" He said, I glanced at him.

"I've never said that." I defended, he just smirked at me.

"Okay, 'Lo!" Papa said joyfully, I rolled my eyes.

"Papag-samahin mo pa kami, iniiwasan nga po ako no'n, e." Sabi ko sa kanya.

"Oh, bakit? Lq kayo?" Pang-aasar niya, malapit na kami sa labas ng subdivision namin at gusto ko ng tumalon mula sa kina-uupuan ko.

"Hindi po, iniiwasan niya 'ko." I said and I shrugged my shoulders. I can almost see my crush's existence, I mentally laughed because it's really cringe-worthy for me! My heart was racing as fast like a cheetah, until the car stopped in front of him.

I got my earphones to listen some music because I knew I'll got sauteed by my Father, well yeah. Of course, it's because Friz is here. I listened to Kpop because I loved their songs, so much. I also used to dance but I'm not that so good, I had many dance covers but I preferred to keep it to myself. I also want to join into a cheerdance but I'm not confident to join a dance competition like that, maybe next year. I am listening to Twice songs, it's really comforting and I felt love and special by their songs.

I sighed because of the lyrics, 'From nobody to somebody, I become a very special me.' Friz is just like nobody to me, until Christ decided to chose that person to a somebody into my life. I'm glad that He did that, although I'm doubting on His existence. I removed my earphones because Papa tapped my shoulders, I raised my brows. I can't open my mouth to utter something, I noticed that Friz was already at the backseat.

On my peripheral vision or am I just a feeler? I knew he was staring at me, after a week, huh. Did he missed me? Well, no.

"Go at the back, I'll put some stuffs on your seat." He commanded, I tilted my head to show a disapproval.
