Love and Crosses (DELREAL SERIES #1)

FIFTY ONE

ZACH

“Bakit kasi hindi mo lapitan? Hina mo naman.” Luke shook his head, as if he was so dissapointed at me. Hindi ko siya pinansin at tinuon lang ang atensyon ko sa babaeng nakasimangot sa field. She was crossing her arms on her chest while listening to their prof. I think it's their PE time since she's wearing PE uniform.

She's Celline. A third year college student here in our university. She has a dove like skin, light hazel brown eyes who looks so pretty especially when she's under the sunlight, and a heart shaped lips. She's also a bit tall, just right for her age. And oh, her used to be curly long hair is a bit short and straight now. I think it's shoulder length? I'm not really sure since it was tied, I can even see some of her baby hair freely falling on her forehead. She doesn't look like a pure filipina though because her foreign features is much screaming. But all in all, she's exquisite. A very beautiful young lady.

I watched as she talked to her prof. May sinasabi siyang hindi ko marinig dahil malayo sila sa'min. Then I saw her prof nodded and gestured her to sit on the bench. Her girl classmates looked at her and she just raised her right brow at them.

I shook my head. What a brat.

“I thought you don't like her anymore? Why the hell are you watching her again?” Hell yeah! I liked her before, I was one of her fucking secret admirers until I saw her throw my hand written letter like it was a trash.

Pinaghirapan ko 'yon! I even searched on youtube on how to have a neat and nice penmanship because mine was so ugly! Tapos itinapon niya lang?

Kung kani-kaninong santo pa 'ko nanghingi ng lakas ng loob para malagay sa locker niya 'yung letter. I was doing that for almost a year and when I saw what she did, I got really disappointed. I mean, I would understand if she thrown other guys' letter for her, because if it was me, I would probably ripped that infront of them and shove it to their mouth.

“You're—”

“Can you just shut the fuck up?” I glared at Luke. He chuckled and shook his head.

“Calm down, dude. Wala pa 'kong sinasabi!” Tumawa pa siya. Umismid ako at tumayo na. I was ready to leave when I glanced at Celline again.

Maybe she noticed that someone's staring at her because she glanced at my direction. I quickly looked away and walked as if nothing happens.

I shook my head while walking. Why does my heart is beating so fast?

I was so bored so I decided to go out. I go to the mall and thought of buying a new watch. Napadaan pa 'ko sa sinehan at kumunot ang noo ko nang makita si Celline na bumibili ng ticket. Lalo pang kumunot ang noo ko nang mapansin ang buhok niya.

What the hell did she do to her hair? It was red!

I watched as she confidently entered the cinema. I gulped and fight the urge of following her. Why would I follow her inside? Anong gagawin ko?

Bumuntong hininga ako at naglakad para makabili ng ticket.

Okay, you won.

Dahan-dahan lang ang lakad ko sa loob ng sinehan, I was looking for Celline. Kulay pula naman ang buhok niya kaya madali siyang makita. Nakita ko siya sa pinaka dulo kaya roon din ako umupo.

I smelled her scent and it made me want to stay closer with her. I saw in my peripheral vision that she looked at me before turning her gaze around.
