Catch Us, We're Falling For You Guys ☺

Chapter 20 - Mismatch

KURT POV -

Ever sinse I was a kid, lagi ko na lang kasama si Kyle. Wala kasi akong kapatid na lalaki kaya siya na ang tumatayong kapatid ko.

Hindi tulad ni Kyle wala akong matatawag na kaibigan kung 'di siya lang. I have this trust issues at ayaw ko makipag-usap sa iba liban sa kanya lang.

When we reach the age of twelve nag-start nang magkaroon ng girlfriend si Kyle. Actually hindi lang yata kami twelve no'n, ten pa lang yata may mga ka fling na siyang girls. Which is I really don't mind.

But one day, he ask me if I like someone. So I think of a girl, and the first girl who came up in my mind, was Eunice.

She's my classmate since grade four. She's the first girl who ever talked to me, maliban sa sister ko. Hindi talaga mahilig makipag-usap sa iba. Madami ngang nagsasabing mayabang ako dahil sobrang suplado ko daw.

Pero siya, patuloy niya pa din akong kinakausap kahit hindi ako nakakabuo ng sentence pag kausap ko siya. And she's too friendly to ignore. Sobrang kulit at daldal niya to the point na hindi ko siya maiwasan.

Then I just find myself enjoying her company. Madami din akong rumors na nadidinig tungkol sa kanya. Some call her malandi, some call her tomboy, dahil nga puro lalaki ang mga kasama nito.

Pero siyempre hindi ko na lang din pinapansin dahil alam ko namang mabait siya. So yes, pangalan niya ang sinagot ko sa tanong ni Kyle.

"Eunice? As in Eunice Courtney Trazon?" halos hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Kyle. He seems so uneasy. So I just nod as an answer.

"But why her?" he even asked.

"Why not her? I mean, she's nice, friendly, and cute. At alam mo bang siya lang ang nagtyagang kausapin ako kahit, ilang salita lang ang kaya kong sabihin tuwing kausap ko siya" sagot ko rito. He just eyed me.

But the painful part was, after I realize how I feel for her. The day right after I talk to Kyle. She went to Kyle's house just to confess to him.

"Kyle Xander! I like you! I know you prefer older girls. But I don't care! I like you and that's all that matters" 'yan ang mga katagang binitawan ni Eunice pagkapasok na pagkapasok nito sa gate nila Kyle.

Kasalukuyan kaming nag-o-one-on-one sa basketball. And Kyle just eyed me, hindi siya nakasagot agad.

"I don't have time for jokes Eunice. Just go home, okey?" 'yun ang tanging sagot ni Kyle at pumasok sa bahay nila. Frustrated naman akong hinarap ni Eunice.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" naiiritang tanong nito. "He's such an asshole" naiiritang wika nito, at sabay umalis.

Sinundan ko si Kyle sa loob ng bahay. Nakita kong na nasilip 'to sa binta. Tinitignan niya ang lugar kung saan kami nandoon kanina - ang half court nila.

"Kung totoo man ang sinabi niya kanina. Dapat siya ang sinundan mo. She's hurt, she needs friend" wika ni Kyle na tila nag-aalala din.

"Thank you, K. I know you, you just said that because I told you I like her. Kung hindi, sure akong 'di mo papalagpasin ang gano'ng bagay. I know you like to play with girls. But please just spare her. She's not like any other girls. Please promise me, na hindi mo siya isasama sa koleksyon mo" I asked him.

"Yeah, I promise" he said it like he really mean it. So I believe him.

And until now tinutupad pa din 'yun ni Kyle. That's what I like about him. Despite of his playboy's reputation, he kept on his word.
