Be That Guy

Chapter 2: Let's Date

CHAPTER 2

"Sure ka ba sa sinabi mo kanina?" Ysa gazed up as she asks me.

We're in the car on our way to Trinoma.

"Huh?" I looked at her confused. I raised my brow as a sign that I didn't know what she was saying.

"Yung sinabi mo kay Andrew?"

Napaisip ako sa sinabi niya. Why did that thing enter in my mind? I don't know why I say those things. I closed my eyes and sighed to relax my mind.

"Yeah. Well, it's an impossible thing. I know he can't do it. It's impossible naman na maging si Kyle si Andrew. They are totally different. Impossible, Ysa. You think siguro na hindi pa rin ako makamove on ka Kyle. It's already an old news. I already accepted it. Tanggap ko na, na iniwan niya ako. And that's because of me."

"Wag ka ngang magsinungaling sa akin Elloise. Siguro gusto mong makita si Kyle kay Andrew. Na mag-eexist ang isang Kyle sa katauhan ni Andrew. I know that's impossible pero naniniwala pa rin ako sa kasabihan na 'Nothing is impossible'. Paano kung magkatotoo?"

"Still impossible. You're just paranoid. Keep that on mind. It will never ever happen."

[Starbucks at Trinoma]

I'm searching for Paulo so I browsed the area to see where he is. And now, I saw where he is sitting.

I could only see his back but I'm sure that it's him. It's Paulo. Definitely sure.

Lumapit ako at kinuhit siya.

"Hi." I greeted him coldly.

"Bakit ang tagal mo? Kanina pa ako nandito. Ang daming chicks na nagkakagulo sa kagwapuhan ko. Muntik na nga akong marape." paloko niyang sabi sa akin habang nakangiti ng Paulo's famous smile. Gross.

"As if I care." I said coldly. I'm not in the mood to play with this guy at tinatamad ako ngayon. All I wanted right now is to sleep.

"What happend to you? Di ba, di ka naman ganyan dati." curious niyang tanong sa akin. I could see his disappointment. Well, I don't care. I've changed, it's my choice. People do change so they must learn how to accept these changes.

"First of all, it's none of your business. Second, I don't want to talk about past. It's already done so hindi na dapat nating ungkatin pa. Lastly, I'm lazy and tired. I want to go home. By the way, Paulo, this is Ysa. My friend. She's the one who'll accompany you later. Bye."

At naglakad na ako palayo. Before ako tuluyang makalayo, sumigaw si Paulo para pigilan ako sa pag-alis ko.

"Wait! Wag ka munang umalis.--" sigaw niya na tamang-tama lang para marinig ko na hindi masyadong malakas para makaagaw ng atensyon sa mga tao sa paligid namin.

"Uhm. P-paulo. Don't mind her. Mas mabuting pabayaan na lang muna natin siya." sabi ni Ysa.

After nun, wala na akong narinig sa pinag-uusapan nila. Malayo na rin ang nalakad ko. The only thing I got in my mind is to sleep. After a long deep sleep, I'll be okay again and forget everything that happened today, all the things that makes me to remember what happened in the past.

I'm waiting outside for a taxi ng may lumapit sa akin.

"Hi!" he said while smiling.

I just ignored him at lumipat ng pwesto ng kinatatayuan. I'm tired please. Can you just leave me alone?!

Date tayo?

"What?!"

"Date tayo!" at nagpuppy eyes pa ang gago. This retarded guy is really annoying. How can I make him leave me alone?! Aish.
