Arish's pov:
"Ganito and flow ng event. First is performance ng dance club, second is theater club, third which Welcoming of the bands, food break muna then sunod na is yung battle of band lastly the winner will play the slow music, bahala na sila kung mag sayaw sila or hindi" I announced.
They all agreed and proceeded to do the sound check.
"Hoy! Arish crush ka daw ng pinsan ko!" sigaw ni gabriel saakin.
"Promise sabi niya saakin!" Habol pa na sigaw ni gab "Tigilan moko gab?!" Eto nanaman tong haliparot nato napaka kulit nanaman.
"Di siya interesado, sayang!" Sabat ni Ethan tumingin saakin si dwayne at lumakad papunta sa stage.
Already did some round up checks sa lists of guest, everything is done so I decided to just watch them.
Music: Halik by kamikaze
Ang galing galing pa din ni dwayne tumugtog I can't help, but to stare at him.
The way his fingers smoothly strum his e guitar, the way he puts his heart out while playing.
Nakaka in love talaga siya.
I was day dreaming about us nang may biglang tumayo sa kinauupuan niya.
"You're playing so good, love!" Narinig kong sigaw, pag lingon ko sa gilid nakita ko si hanna nag c-cheer para sakanya while filming him.
Ngumit ako ng malungkot because that was my job before, ako yung nag f-film sakanya lagi habang nag p-practice o nag p-perform. That was my place, but now there she is doing the things i use to do for Dwayne.
I wish i was her, she's pretty, she's everything a guy could ever ask for, but the most important is she's the girl that dwayne loves.
"May band play kami bukas can you watch?" Dwayne asked me while we're studying this became our daily habit, sabay uuwi, mag aaral tapos uuwi na siya naging routine na namin yun.
"Oo nga pala bukas na yung performance mo" he nodded, he went close to me and tucked a piece of hair strand behind my ear, my heart beat went rapid. He's too close, i could smell his manly, minty scent
"I want you to film me" I laughed nervously dahil konting galaw ko lang tatama na ang labi niya sa labi ko.
I could see him smirk kaya nag iwas na ako ng tingin sakanya, tumawa siya at lumayo na ng kaunti saakin, i rolled my eyes "Kaya mo naman pala ako pinapapunta kasi need mo ng taga video!" he laughed and threw a piece of paper at me making me glare at him, the audacity of this man to throw something at me!
Tumawa siya at kinurot ang pisnge ko "Stupid. I want you to be there so you can support me, I want you to cheer for me" he moved closer to me and looked deep into my eyes, he cut the eye contact to stare at my lips.
My heart pounded when he caressed my cheek using his pointer finger "S-sure, I'll watch you" he smiled and leaned in my shoulder.
Huminga ako ng malalim at pinikit ang mata, why do i have to always remember him in every small things i do?
My thoughts was cut someone tapped my shoulder "Ice cream tayo" ngiting sabi saakin ni ethan di ko namalayan na nasa tabi ko na pala siya "Nakatingin ka nanaman kasi! Mamaya mamatay ka sa sakit kasalanan ko pa" he rolled his eyes I smiled sadly and just let him pull me out of the avr.
"You love ice cream right?" I nodded as he handed me the magnum matcha.
Napakunot ang noo ko "How'd you know na favorite ko yung ice cream?" He shrugged and paid for our ice cream, we walked out of the cafeteria so we can chill somewhere.
"I just saw you one time eating that exact same ice cream" Hindi ako na c-convince sa pinag sasabi niya.
Knowing ethan, masyado siyang observant sa taong nasa paligid niya, malakas ang emotional intelligence ni mokong.
I crossed my arm while chewing my ice cream "Hmm, but that doesn't mean na favorite ko to" he sighed and leaned in the wall. Napaka pogi din naman niya, tall, smart and mabango ayun nga lang siraulo.
He also crossed his arms and looked at me nag lalabanan kami ng tingin until he gave up "Ok, fine. You caught me, you know I'm paying attention to every little details" I raised an eyebrow as I bit my ice cream.
"Like?" I want him to convince me, it sounds so interesting to see people's point of view.
"You tend to look down everytime something hurts you" he chuckled, I stopped biting and smiled sadly. Sira ulong to! Sa lahat ng pwede niyang pamuna ayun pa talaga.
"You also love yogurt and you hate math, but you're good at it" I laughed pati ba naman yun napansin niya.
"Huy hindi kaya! Diyan ka nag kakamali. Kawawa nga ako eh I have to study twelve hours para ma-gets ko" pinunasan ko ang luha ko kunyari while pouting my lips.
Humalakhak siya "Ay si oa! Ewan ko sayo pa-humble ka masyado, letche ka!" I laughed and threw the wrapper at him.
"Yan ganyan ba ang VP nag kakalat?! Binabato mo pa yung president ng kalat mo, huy!?" Tinawanan ko nalang siya and pulled him so we can walk back to the avr.
As we entered the avr I can feel the breeze of the cold air-condition "Ang lamig" bulong ko sa sarili ko i rubbed my palms in my arm.
"Here" Ethan removed his sweater and gave it to me, naamoy ko na agad ang bango nun pag abot niya saakin "Thanks" I smiled and wore it.
I consciously smelled it, shit ang bango!
Dwayne's gaze was burning us right now while hanna is wiping his sweat.
Napansin ko naman si Gab na kinakausap si Ineish, si Jay at Kean naman ay nag haharutan nanaman.
Umakyat na si Gab sa stage at nag announce.
"Next song daw is Pasilyo" tumayo agad si dwayne at kinuha yung e-guitar niya.
"Palad ay basang basa~" pag kanta ni Gab.
Kita ko kung gaano kagigil si dwayne mag strum sa gitara.
What's up with him? Masama ba pakiramdam niya? I scoffed to myself. Why do you care, rish?
Someone is already taking care of him.
He's none of your business
