Angela's POV
"Marami akong natutunan sa buong school year na magkakasama tayo. Mas nakilala ko kayong lahat. Nakita ko paano nahulog yung iba samantalang ako, tamang banggit lang ng sanaol". Saad ni Sofia nung turn nya. Nagsitawanan pa ang lahat kadama na ako doon pero yung isa, hindi.
Nang makabalik siya sa pwesto nya, siniko nya naman ako. We are sitting beside each other. Lagi kase siyang tumatabi sa akin whenever there are activities like this. Minsan, nagsasawa na din ako sa kanya eh.
"Angela, ikaw naman". Napalunok naman ako. Lumingon naman ako sa kanya and I caught her looking at me as well. Ano naman ang sasabihin ko? Nagdadalawang - isip pa ako kung about sa kanya ba ang sasabihin ko or hindi. But I ended up telling how much I admire her.
"Ehem.. I am straight. I know I am. But that was before not until I met her....."
"Quiet, everyone. Let her finish her speech." Miss Hanna announced as the other students started teasing me and asking questions like, "ay bading ka pala?", "who's the lucky girl?", "yieee ship!". I smiled as the noise faded.
"Her pretty eyes , perfect pointed nose, kissable pink lips. Her face na kahit masungit ay gugustuhin mong makita araw-araw. Her perfect curved-body, her small gestures that she does to let you know she cares for you. I never thought that I would fall for her so hard. And I did. Whether you're listening or not, I just want to say that I like you. "
I felt embarrassed after realizing what I did. Nilingon ko sya nang pasikreto para hindi nila malaman kung sino yung tinutukoy ko. She raised her right eyebrow which made me smile at her. Goodness!
"And I will do anything just to make you mine." dagdag ko pa bago ako bumalik. Nagpalakpakan at naghiyawan naman sila which made me blush even more. I looked at her again to see her reaction. It was priceless! Her reaction was shocked but her cheeks turned red.
"Wow ah! Tapang yarn?" biro sakin ni Sofia. Natawa naman ako sa sinabi nya.
After naman ng turn ko, nakinig naman kami sa mga sumunod na nag open-up. Marami-rami naman akong nalaman sa kanila. Pero hindi ko pa din maiwasan isipin kung ano ang nasa isip ni Miss Andrea after ko sabihin yun. I glanced at her and saw her eyebrows rose when she looked at me. For the nth time today, I smiled at her annoyingly.
Tawanan at kulitan ang ingay na aking narinig mula sa mga kaklase ko habang nagaayos ng pinagkainan namin. Kakatapos lang namin kumain. Inabot na kase kami ng dinner habang ginagawa yung last activity.
"Uy grabe yung kanina 'noh? Ang dami kong nalaman for today's vidyow." saad ni Sofia habang kami ay naglalakad malapit sa may swimming pool.
"Oo nga eh, kakabwiset sila Paul. Puro kalokohan lang naman sila" Natatawa kong sagot sa kanya.
Matapos ang saglit na tawanan, wala na kaming narinig mula sa isa't isa kundi ang malalim kong hinga.
"Lalim nun ah. Okay ka lang?" tanong naman nya na nagpangiti sa akin ng pilit.
"Okay lang ako. Bigla ko lang naalala yung ex-friend ko dati."
Nakwento ko na sa kanya si Paula, ex-friend ko nung junior high school pa ako. Paula and I met when we took our entrance exams to Ilvermourny. Fortunately, we both passed the exams. Kilala ko na si Sofia noon pero mas naging close ko si Paula. We became best friends. Lahat ng tungkol sakin, sinabi ko sa kanya kahit sa tagal nmaing magkaibigan mas lumalim yung trust ko sa kanya. And I know ganun din sya sakin. Until one day, nalaman ko na lang yung isang sikreto ko na pinaguusapan na pala ng iba. I feel betrayed. Akala ko mapapagkakatiwalaan ko siya. Well, I was wrong.
"What happened?" Pareho pa kaming nagulat ni Sofia sa boses mula sa likod. It was Miss Andrea. Was she eavesdropping?
"Uh ma'am, ano pong ginagawa nyo dito?" Takang tanong ko.
"What happened to your ex-friend?" she asked, ignoring my question.
Narinig ko naman na tinawag nila Crystal si Sofia, as if on cue na maiiwan talaga kami dito ni ma'am. I mentally groaned at tiningnan si Miss Andrea. Sinenyasan ko syang umupo sa tabi ko. Akala ko hindi pa sya susunod eh. Kinwento ko ng buo yung nangyare kase baka hindi pa ako tigilan nitong si ma'am. Nagulat na lang ako na umiiyak na pala ako. I already moved on. I know I'm fine with it, why am I crying?
"Shh, stop crying." she said while caressing my back. I didn't noticed that I was already hugging her.
"I thought I already forgiven her. I don't know why am I crying." sabi ko ng humiwalay na ako sa yakapan namin. She saw me at my worst.
"Understandable. It takes time. But are you ready to forgive her?" nag-aalalang tanong niya. The fact that she cares for me makes me smile. I bit my lower lip to surpress my smile.
"Maybe."
Nang tawagin naman ako nila Sofia ay nagpaalam na muna ako sa kanya. I also hugged her for the second time. I really like her for being there for me. This is the first time she saw my vulnerable side. I bit my lower lip for the nth time to supress my embarrassment.
"Anong nangyare sa inyo kanina?" Sofia again, being a chismosa. "Bat ganyan itsura mo? Umiyak ka ba?" dagdag nya pa.
"Hindi wala, napuwing lang ako." saad ko habang pinupunasan ng kamay ang aking mga mata.
Bibiruin nya pa sana ako nang tawagin ako ni Miss Andrea. I wonder what does she need this time. I looked at Sofia annoyingly once again before turning to Miss Andrea.
When I am already near her, she wrap her arms around me and gave me a warm hug. What is this for? I was about to hug her back when she removed her arms and face me.
"Are you okay now?", she asked with her angelic tone which made the butterflies inside me move fast.
What does she mean? Bakit nya ako tinataning ng ganyan? Wala namang nangyar-wait. It's about what happened awhile ago. Myghad Angela!
"Oh um, yeah. Thank you though." I said, giving her a smile.
"I'm fine, as long as you're okay.", I added.
She was about to open her bedroom door when she spoke again.
"See you tomorrow, Denise. Goodnight." She said. I guess she'll go to bed now. I was about to speak when she came closer to me and gave me a peck. I held her back to make our kiss longer.
A/N: Grabe ka na Angela ah. Niyakap ka na, hinalikan ka pa. Bawal yan.
I thought she will pushed me back but she just stayed there while kissing me. Patay na patay talaga 'tong si Ma'am sakin. Hinayaan akong halikan ko siya.
I gave her few pecks and let her go. Baka kung saan pa mapunta 'to eh. Mahirap na. Besides, I respect her.
When I saw her whole face, she looks like a tonato. Cutie.
"Ma' am, you look like a tomato. Does that mean you liked the kiss?" I teasingly asked and laughed when she laid her hands on me which made me laugh even more.
"Shut up. I'm going to bed now." And that's the last thing I heard from her for this day. She really did went to bed without saying goodnight.
