Spoiler Paradox (High school series 1)

Prologue

"Bro, you know the drill." Paalala niya kay Aiden matapos niyang ilapag sa mesa ang order niya.

He looks at the girl who is sitting at her usual spot. Directly across and opposite where he's comfortably sitting while admiring her. He thought it was a good thing, that the said woman was facing her back on him because he was still not ready to show up to her.

It's been almost a decade since he gaze upon her face, but he's still completely into her. Her black wavy medium-length hair, diamond face shaped, thick and arched eyebrows, small and cute nose, thin lips, and alluring hooded eyes that hold so many emotions.

It's been a long time, pero hindi niya pa rin ito nakakalimutan. Kung paano lumiit ang mga mata niya kasabay ng kaniyang pagtawa, kung gaano nakakahawa ang pag-ngiti niya, kung paano siya matuwa, magulat, masaktan, at umiyak.

Tandang tanda niya pa rin ito sa kabila ng sobrang daming nangyari sa nagdaan na sampung taon. Like it just happened yesterday, and he can't get it out of his head.

He wants to take good care of her, sa pangalawang pagkakataon. He wants to apologize for what he did, he wants to confess and tell her what he feels.

But she's currently healing now, she's bringing back her broken pieces together. She's glowing just like she used to years ago. She's enjoying her solitude and progressing toward a better version of herself.

So he chooses that he will not disturb her. Not now, lalo na't alam niya na hindi pa siya deserving para sa kaniya.

As she fixes herself, he'll change to be the best for her.

"Mukhang may karibal ka, pre."

Napalingon naman siya kay Aiden sa sinabi niya. Kumunot ang noo dahil hindi niya masyadong nakuha ang sinabi nito. Karibal?

Aiden explained what he was referring to by pointing his mouth in another direction, sa likod niya.

Dahan dahan at patago itong lumingon sa tinuro ni Aiden. Which confirmed the question in his head, and made him nervous at the same time.
