"SHANE. I...I don't know." Fidel answered her. She sweetly smiled at him.
"It's okay. Hindi naman siguro masama kung lalapitan kita, hindi ba? I–I will try my best to make you like me." Her face are flustered.
Simpleng ngiti ang ginawad sa kanya. "Alright. I will also try to like you." Ang ngiti ni Shane ay abot tenga na sa narinig. Nagni-ningning ang mga matang nakatitig sa kaisang-isang lalaking iniibig.
Fidel is a normal student boy. He is silent but gentle. Sa buong high school life ni Shane, ito ang kanyang natipuhan. Kahit hindi alam nito, alalang-alala nya parin na sa middle school days nila, ito ang nagligtas sa kanya sa madilim nyang mundo.
Rather than feel sorry for her, he smiled. He consoled her and gave her some advises that she quite like. At 'nong makita nya ito muli, labis ang sayang nadama ng dalaga. Hindi man karamihan ang kaibigan nito, handa sya maging kabilang ng mga ito.
Pero naisip nya na ilabas dito ang nararamdaman na matagal na nyang kinikimkim sa binata. Ito ang nangyari ngayon, positive naman ang kinalabasan na kinasaya ni Shane.
"Thank you! Gagawin ko ang aking makakaya!"
"You don't have to. Then..alright." Natigil ang sasabihin nito ng makita ang mga mata ng dalagang nasa harap nito.
"Hehe." Her smile is very sweet and her eyes are full of happiness, staring at Fidel.
Biglang nagbell kaya bumalik na sila sa kanilang classroom. Pagkaupo nya sa sariling upuan, biglang umusog ang upuan ng kanyang seatmate at bumulong.
"Ano sagot?" She asked
"Hulaan mo." Ngiti-ngiti nyang sagot dito. Hinampas sya nito.
"Gusto ko magmula sa labi mo. Bilis."
"He will try daw. Pinayagan nya din naman akong tumabi sa kanya."
Tumaas ang kilay nito. "Sa madaling salita, ikaw ang manliligaw?"
She nod. "Yeah. And I like it. The only person who can help him is me. And he will accept it...everything." She grinned with a faint dark on her eyes, then it dissapeared. "Excited na ako." Para syang uod na inasinan sa upuan.
Halata ang alinlangan sa mata ng seatmate ni Shane ngunit pinili nalang nito na suportahan ito. "Do your best." Ngumiti si Shane at nagfocus na sila sa lesson.
After class, naunang lumabas si Shane para antayin si Fidel. Saktong palabas nadin ito at nginitian nya ang binata.
"Sabay tayo?"
Fidel look shock, but he smile. "Okay." Magkatabi silang naglakad palabas ng school. Kahit tahimik ang paglalakad nila, nanatiling nakangiti si Shane. Ngunit hindi matiis ng binata ang katahimikan kaya nagsalita ito.
"Ano nga pala nagustuhan mo sakin, Shane? Tahimik at hindi ako kagaya ng iba." When he wondered, she gave him a quick glance and brightened her smile.
"All of it. I love all of you."
"Huh?" He's stunned at what she said.
Shane just continue. "Every part of you, I love it. I like how quiet you are. And for being normal."
"Ang ibig sabihin ba sa normal, hindi kagaya ng iba na mga sikat at may mga iba't ibang talento?" Pagbabakasali nito.
She stared at him. "Hmm, if that's how you understand it, then yeah." Simpleng sagot nya na may ngiti.
Fidel slighly caught a glimpse, Shane looking at the different direction, yet when he blink, she is smiling while looking at him. She is weird, but he didn't feel dangerous around her.
