All my life, I tried my best to be the perfect daughter, to be the perfect girl any man would want; but I guess my best isn't good enough.
For the past few days, iniiwasan ako ni Jeron. I don't know what's wrong with him, or baka alam niyang may gusto ako kay Jeric? I really don't know. After the ball, he seems to be troubled with something. Galit siya na ewan. He's been acting so weird, until now. Ilang araw ko na siyang hindi nakaka-usap at hindi nakikita. Obviously, he's hiding. Pero bakit?
Two days ago, pinuntahan ko siya sa dorm nila. I knew he was there kasi pinuntahan ko rin siya sa bahay nila, but his mom said na sa dorm siya muna nag stay. I lowered my pride just to talk to him, pero hindi niya ako hinarap.
I guess he needs some space. Kaya nga hindi ko siya kinkulit ngayon. He must be very busy with his training. May laro sila ng team niya bukas against Jeric's team for the UAAP finals. Hindi ko nga alam kung kanino ako magchi-cheer bukas. My heart says cheer for Jeric, but my mind says cheer for Jeron, afterall, he's my boyfriend.
And so I've decided to hang out with Kim instead. Alam kong nagkatampuhan kami the last time I came to her house, pero kilala ko siya, I know magiging okay din ulit kami. Kaya nga may dala akong icecream with me. I know she can't resist this.
"Manang, ba't ang sama ng tingin mo sa ice cream na dala ko?" tanong ko kay Manang when I noticed her looking at the icecream.
"Eh, miss Yza last week pa kain ng kain ng ice cream ang mga tao dito." She said. "Umay na umay na kaming lahat, lalo na si miss Kim."
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Kailan pa yun nagsawa sa icecream?"
She chuckled. "Dinalhan kasi siya ng manliligaw niya ng isang truck ng ice cream."
My eyes widened. "Isang truck?!"
"Opo. Pinamigay na nga lang nila yung iba sa sobrang dami." She said.
"Manang, pakisabi kay-" si Kim pala.
I looked at her and smiled. "Hi couz."
"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" she asked and shifted her gaze to the ice cream I brought. "What's that?"
I smiled sheepishly. "Ice cream. I didn't know kasi na ang dami niyo palang stock ng ice cream dito."
"Blame that crazy Gab." She said as she rolls her eyes.
I chuckled. "Anyway, may lakad ka?"
She nodded. " Magkikita lang kami ni Gretchen."
"Can I go with you? kung okay lang." I asked.
"Himala yata." She commented. "Wala ba kayong lakad ni..Jeron?"
I faked a smile. "Busy yata. May game sila bukas eh."
