I waited for the class to finish, not because i'm waiting to punch Kelvin's face, but because i'm getting bored and sleepy...admit it, parehas ko rin kayo diba? walang estudyante ang nagustuhan ang class hour, nakakaantok yung lecture, nakakangalay rin sa leeg kasi kailangan mo laging tumingin sa teacher niyo, estudyante din ako, kaya magkasama tayo sa paghihirap.

Nawala na yata yung interest ko sa sinabi ko kanina, about punching him and all, all i want is to just go home and rest. I'm a lazy person, alam ko ganoon rin kayo wag na kayo magpaka- "good" kid..pero hindi 'man kita sa mukha ko, nasaktan talaga ako nung kinonfess ni Kelvin na sila na ni miss Sally..

"Wala ka nang nakalimutan?" tanong ko kay Liana

"Wala naman.." sabi niya habang tinitignan one last time yung desk niya "wala, wala akong nakalimutan"

Lumabas na kami sa classroom niya kasama si Kelvin, which is being really quiet today, kanina pa siya ganyan..iniisip yata yung sinabi ko kanina.

"Anong ginawa niyo kanina?" tanong ko kay Liana

"Naglecture lang kami, kayo?"

"..ganon rin, naglecture lang din.." i said with a bored tone, placing my one hand on my neck

"Inantok ka no?"

I glanced at Liana and lightly smiled to her, "..you know me too well.."

Nginitian niya lang ako , more like grin.

"Nakatulog nga rin yata e!" biglang singit ni kelvin sa conversation namin

As were walking, when we reached the main floor, bigla nalang lumiko si Kelvin papunta sa track and field ng school namin, so i assked him,

"Anong gagawin mo diyan?"

Nilapag niya yung bag niya sa lapag tas lumingon sa akin,

"Isn't it obvious? to settle this already"

"Ah..that.."

"..." napatingin lang ako sa kanya at nanahimik, seyoso yung tono niya,

"..nasaktan kita nang biglaan, kaya i'm apologizing to you, ..and here i promised you that i won't be interested with her." he lightly mumbled , scratching his head, "so i ready myself for that punch! as you said, mas masakit pa ang naramdaman mo kesa sa mararamdaman ko!" he then exclaimed.

He starts to open his arms, straightening his body, then closing his eyes tightly, "Go ahead Terry!"

...

"pf-"

Napalingon yung dalawa sa akin, confused, "hm?"

"Ahahahahaha!" i laughed , entertained by Kelvin's action

"H-huh? ba't ka natawa?" tanong ni Kelvin sa akin

"Nakakatawa ka kasi..! ahahaha" i wiped the small tears in my eyes

"What? -n-nevermind, just punch me already." he sweat dropped

I sighed shortly but calmly before giving a calm sad smile to him, "..it's fine, forget about what i said about punching you.."

"Hah?! but-"

"I said it's fine"

"But don't you despise me? don't you want to take revenge? because it's fine! i hurted you! you expect me to -"

he said non-stop to me..he looks like he was about to cry again..really, this guy is such  crybaby

"Don't you want-.." he said with a sob,

ah, he really did cry

"..it's okay" i calmly said with a smile, habang umupo ako sa lupa "just promise me to treausre her" i looked at him, giving a sad smile, "really, i'm happy for you.."

Tinignan niya ko ng sandali bago siya magsalita, "well your face doesn't tell it.." he whispered, but i heard,

"I told you i'm fine"

I said again

"No you're not"

"Really, i'm fine"

"No"

"Yes"

We argued.

"Just be honest Terry"

"..." i smiled one last time before laying down on the field, covering my eyes with my arm..

...actually it hurts..

"Actually it hurts..so much.."

still, i said it with a blurry smile..

"Heh, who wouldn't get hurt..i've loved her for a long time..and someone will just snatch her away, of course i'll get hurt..who wouldn't.."

I love her, i don't care if she's older, love doesn't measure age. I started to love her since that day..

"Hanging with me..do you like it?"

"..Mm, i like it.."

she said that with a very gentle smile like an angel..

"It hurts.." i grind my teeth together as tears started to flow out of my eyes.

"Do you mind if i keep you company?"

"You're a special person, remember that"

"Then, let's be friends! i may be a bit older than you, but i want to be your friend Mr. Terrance, so,would you?"

"I love her.." i mumbled to myself as sobs mixed in

..I love her, but i know that this feeling will lead to nowhere since the very beginning....
