Mile's Apart.

"AYOKO NA PATAYIN MO NA YUNG LAPTOP!"

here i am, crying my eye balls out when the movie was about to end.

"you told me you already watched this like 7 times." zaven looked at me and gave me a judging look before taking a bite of his cookie.

"well sorry ha!" sigaw ko habang pinupunasan ilong ko. sinipon na ako kaka iyak!

"stop crying." he crossed his arms over his chest. "you look like you broke up with your boyfriend, or something" tumuro sya sa ilong at mata ko "tignan mo oh, yung mga mata mo, magang maga na. yung ilong mo, pula na! AHAHA-"

napatigil sya sa pag tatawa dahil sinampal ko sya ng unan sa muka "gusto mo maging twins tayo?!"

-

"elara, stop moving."

"anong ako?! ikaw yung hatak nang hatak nung kumot, sira! meron naman isa pang kumot dyan, ah?! bakit mo gusto mag share pa tayo ng kumot?!" reklamo ko at tumingin sakanya.

"your blanket is ticker! ang lamig lamig sa quarto mo tapos ang nipis nipis nung kumot na binigay mo sakin!" reklamo nya din.

i rolled my eyes and faced the other side, slightly taking the blanket from him.

"elara."

"ano nanaman, vascos" i said, my eyes still closed.

"i have a solution for this."

my eyes widened when he pulled me closer to him and hugged me. "oh, see?"

mas nagulat ako nang halikan nya ang nuo ko. "good night, my love" he said and hugged me tighter.

"good night, seth." i whispered before closing my eyes.

after that, i dozed off.

I woke up around 10 AM to zaven saying my name, about a hundred times.

"elara! elara! elara!"

i looked at him, trying to open my eyes. "ha?" i said still confused why he was waking me up. naka bukas pa ang bintana! nakaka-silaw!

"ha? hamburger"

"ano nga?" i asked again.

"your mom said were going to palawan. me, you, tasha, my mom, zora, zayden, and valerie. di daw makakasama parents mo kase may mga gagawin pa daw sila dito." pag dal-dal nya.

"what?! were going to palawa- wait whose valerie?" i asked confused. i never met anyone named valerie before.

"valerie is the daughter of my dad's bestfriend. my dad insisted to take her with us. she's also my childhood friend." he explained.

valerie?  "what's her last name?" i asked.

"santiago." he replied while fixing my hair that's on my face and putting them behind my hair. "so pretty" he smiled cutely.

"wag mo nga akong ibola, i haven't even brushed my teeth!" i covered my mouth.

"ano naman?!" sabi nya.

"zaven, we ate so many sweets last night. my teeth ate probably yellow!" pag reklamo ko ulit. "anyways, kaylan tayo aalis?" i asked.

"Saturday. hanggang wendsday tayo dun. good thing last day ko na sa school sa friday at christmas break na namin." he sounded reliefed

"i have to go na, okay? i have school pa. I'll see you oj Saturday okay? but dont worry, I'll try to visit here." he gave me an assuring smile.

i smiled back at him and he laughed and planted a kiss on my forehead.
