IRIS
Magkaibigan
Magkaibigan lang kami.
Yan lang ang mga salitang naiwan sa isip ko ng marinig ko ang usapan nila.
The hug. The comfort. The serenade. The effort. All were just friendly.
Maybe I'm just to overwhelmed with those unfamiliar gestures that's why I ended up... assuming things.
Stupid, Iris Iliana Sarmiento. Hindi mo dapat nararamdaman 'to. You cant afford breaking your heart once again.
Wala lang 'to. Or is it?

Pinalipas ko ang buong maulang tanghali sa silong. Wala na akong mga batang inabutan doon. Wala sa sarili kong inayos ang mga visual aids na naiwang nakadikit sa board nang may bigla nalang sumulpot na kamay sa may bandang kanan ko na nagtatanggal din ng manila paper.
I spared him an emotionless glance then went back to what Im doing.
"I feel so welcomed." he scoffed
"You're right. Feeling mo lang 'yun. Alis." I brushed him off my way.
"Dead center" he folded the visual aid while snorting sardonically, "Blunt. That's what made me attracted to you. "
"I'm not going to FLIRT with you, douchebag." I slam the folded papers atop the monobloc table. Pinatong ko ang kanang palad ko doon at humilig.
"Seriously, Iris." he shook his head and stared at me straight in the eye, "You're insanely different. Kung ibang babae ang naencounter ko sa detention, I might ignore them or well, make out. If she's this hot as you."
What can you expect from a Dylan Mikael Cervantes? He's too close to being my male counterpart, minus the flirting. Harsh, indifferent, and rude- just like me.
God. Making out? Seemed like a habit to him. Talk about being decent.
"Done with your tactics?" I jeered, "Sorry to tell you, but it doesn't look effective as it seems." I gather my things then I walked away and braved the rain.
"Wait up!" he ran outside and I felt that the rainflow stopped. Tumigil ang ulan? Hindi. Napatingin ako sa ulunan ko. May payong.
"What exactly is the goal of your motives?" I glared at him and we stopped walking in the middle of the rain, "Kung idadagdag mo ko sa collection mo, wag ka nang magsayang ng oras mo. I'm limited edition."
Lumabas na ko sa sakop ng paying pero makulit talaga ang kanunununuan ng nilalang na 'to at pinayungan parin ako.
He reached for my free hand and held it up, "I like you. I know, mahirap paniwalaan, pero believe me, this is the first time I courted someone."
