THEIR GC (GROUP CHAT) KEEPS RECEIVING A LOT OF MESSAGES. IT'S CURRENTLY SUNDAY IN THE AFTERNOON, LAHAT NG UPDATES AND WHATNOT WAS BEING DISCUSS IN THERE.
JINO SENT SOMETHING ON THAT GROUP CHAT THAT EVERY GIRLS WERE NOW CRAZY ABOUT. PICTURE IYUN NG KANILANG MAIN CHARACTER, PAXTON'S CHIN WAS RESTING ON JIEAN'S SHOULDER, KUHA IYON KAHAPON, IT LOOKS SO SWEET AND THE CHEMISTRY WAS OVERFLOWING.
BOTH JINO AND FAYD ARE ALREADY USED TO THE GIRLS ACTING LIKE THAT, HINDI NA BAGO IYON SA KANILA O NAKAKAPAGTAKA, BOTH BOYS ALREADY KNOWS THAT LOVE BETWEEN BOYS EXIST AND POSSIBLE, THEY DON'T QUESTION IT, THEY EVEN SUPPORT IT.
[OMG, THEY LOOK SO PERFECT!]
[SABI KO NA EH BAGAY TALGAA]
[AHHH, PAXTON TOP]
[JIEAN BOTTOM!!!]
[AAHH, THANKS FOR SHARING JINOOO, YODABESTTT]
JIEAN ISN'T THE TYPE OF A PERSON WHO WOULD SCROLL UP TO SEE THE PREVIEWS CHATS, MINSAN NGA HINDI NIYA NA TALAGA BINABASA PA, HE RARELY REPLY AS WELL, AS FOR PAXTON HE DOES READ THE MESSAGES BUT HE DOESN'T REPLY AT ALL, HE ONLY READS THEM AND THEN IGNORED THE REST.
RIGHT NOW HE'S CURRENTLY READING THE MESSAGES, AT NAKITA NIYA NGA ANG PICTURE NA IYON. PINAGKATITIGAN NIYA MUNA ITO NG ILANG MINUTO AND HE SAVED IT AFTER, HE EVEN HEART REACTED IT. HE CLOSE THE APP AND FORMED A SMILE ON HIS FACE.
MEANWHILE IN JIEAN'S HOUSE, KAKATAPOS NIYA LANG MALIGO AND IS ABOUT TO DRY HIS HAIR, HE HAPPENS TO OPEN HIS MESSAGES AND SAW WHAT THE GIRLS ARE EXCITED ABOUT, IT MADE HIM REALLY CURIOUS AND DECIDED TO SCROLL UP, IT ANNOYS HIM BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY VERY FAR, HE SCROLLED UP AT A VERY FAST SPEED AND SOMETHING CAUGHT HIS EYES, HE SCROLLED DOWN A BIT AND SAW THE PICTURE HIMSELF.
IT'S PAXTON AND HIM, ON THAT KIND OF POSITION. HIS HEART STARTS TO POUND, IT HAS 10+ DIFFERENT REACTS ALREADY, NUNG UNA HE'S HESITANT BUT HE CLICKED ANYWAY. ONE OF THOSE REACTIONS WAS FROM PAXTON, NOW HIS HEART WAS BEATING UNCONTROLLABLY.
"WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? THIS JERK-
HINDI MAN LANG NIYA MATAPOSTAPOS ANG SASABIHIN, HE'S SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE BED, HE LAID HIS BODY AND COVERED HIS EYES USING HIS ARMS, FEELING TROUBLED. A FLASHBACK SUDDENLY POPPED ON HIS HEAD.
(FOUR YEARS AGO)
JIEAN VERA/GRADE7 SECTION A
PAXTON AVILA/GRADE7 SECTION A
A CIRCLE OF BOYS THAT CONTAINS FOUR PEOPLE IN TOTAL WAS TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING. PAXTON IS A POPULAR GUY IN SCHOOL, PERO KAHIT NA GANUN SIYA KAKI-LALA HINDI NILA NAKITANG NAGKAGIRLFRIEND ITO AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE.
"EY PAXTON, BAKIT WALA KAMING MAKITANG MAY DINIDATE KANG BABAE. MARAMI NAMANG NAGKAKAGUSTO SAYO AH" ONE OF HIS FRIEND SAID.
"OO NGA, ANG GAGANDA PA NAMAN NG NAGKAKAGUSTO SAYO. WALA KAMANLANG BANG MAY GUSTO NI KAHIT ISA SA KANILA?" ANYA NG LALAKING KATABI NIYA.
"BAKIT NIYO BA PINOPROBLEMA YUN? EH SA AYUKO. I'M NOT INTERESTED" HE SAID FEELING ANNOYED.
"TOTOO BA? WHY DON'T YOU TRY DATING A GUY THEN?" THE BOY SAID AND LAUGHED.
"OO NGA, BAKA LALAKI TALAGA GUSTO MO" ONE OF THEM JOKINGLY SAID AND THE REST LAUGHED.
JIEAN WAS ALREADY RUMORED THAT HE WASN'T STRAIGHT AT THAT TIME. MOST OF HIS CLASSMATE DIDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, ESPECIALLY GIRLS, BUT SOME OF THE BOYS DOES, COULDN'T BE HELP AT ALL.
HE HAPPENS TO PASS BY WHILE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT STUFF.
"HEY, I HEARD JIEAN LIKES MEN. BAT D MO SUBUKAN HAHA. JUST LOOK AT HIM, HE'S PRETTY TO BE A GUY, MAHINHIN DIN " THEY ALL LAUGH AGAIN.
"LOL, SHUT UP" PAXTON SAID AND YANKED THAT GUY'S HAIR.
JIEAN HEARD IT, HE EVEN HEARD PAXTON'S VOICE SO CLEARLY, LAUGHING TOGETHER WITH THEM. IT FEELS LIKE HIS WORLD INSTANTLY SHATTERED, HIS HEAD WAS RINGING. HE ALREADY LIKED PAXTON THAT TIME, KAYA NG MARINIG NIYA IYON, NAGSIMULANG MAGBAGO ANG LAHAT.
PAXTON IS A KIND PERSON, LAGING NAKANGITI SA LAHAT, HE MAY LOOKED LIKE A BULLY BUT HE ISN'T AT ALL. THEY ACTUALLY HAD A LOT OF INTERACTION BEFORE, NEVER SILANG NAGUUSAP PERO LAGI SILANG NAGKAKATINGINAN, BUT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED, JIEAN STAYED LOWKEY AND EVEN AVOIDED HIS STARES.
KAYA NGAYON WHENEVER HE LAID HIS EYES ON HIM HE'D INSTANTLY FEEL ANNOYANCE, HE HATES HIM IN A WAY THAT HE LIKES HIM.
IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS ALREADY. INDEED JUST LIKE WHAT KELA SAID, BUT THAT SCENE WAS STILL STUCK ON HIS HEAD SO VIVIDLY.
HE PUT HIS ARM AWAY AND STARED AT THE WALL ABOVE, GUSTO MAN NIYANG SISIHIN ANG SARILI SA PAGKAKAGUSTO RITO KASO WALA NARIN NAMAN SIYANG MAGAWA, HE JUST REALLY LIKES HIM AND HE COULDN'T EVEN TEACH OR FORCE HIS HEART TO UNLIKE HIM, HE'LL ONLY END UP LIKING HIM EVEN MORE.
TOMORROW, MAGKIKITA NA NAMAN ULIT SILA, AT SA BAHAY PA NETO MISMO. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL, HE'S NOT EXCITED AT ALL.
LOOKING AT THE WALL, HE CAN SEE PAXTON'S FACE, IT'S SO BLURRY. HE UNCONSCIOUSLY REACH HIS HAND MIDAIR TO GRASP IT BUT IT DISSAPPEARED RIGHT AWAY, INTO NOTHINGNESS.
"NO MATTER HOW I WANT TO UNLIKE YOU, I.. JUST.....CAN'T " HE MURMURED WITH EYES CLOSED AND FORMED HIS HAND INTO A FIST.
"PARANG....YOU'RE SO CLOSE YET SO FAR" HE ADDED AND TOOK A DEEP SIGH.
