She smiled scornfully at my question. "Hindi mo binasa yung letter ko no?"

"I forgot." I smiled. She's not going to get mad at me for not reading her letter right?

"Do you wanna know how much I like you?" she asked pero parang sarkastiko. "Read it, at kung gaano karami ang nakasulat roon, ganoon kalaki ang pagkagusto ko sa'yo."

Is it possible to sound so sarcastic and forcing me to be convinced? I think it's possible kasi ganoon ang tonada niya. Hindi ko na siya naiintindihan kahit pa hindi ko siya girlfriend.

"Damian Antonio, what's the score?" Brett asked over during the time we were playing in the court bago mag-uwian. "Denise is pretty... She might be the 'find someone new'."

"Tanga, ayaw niyang mag-boyfriend," I passed him the ball so hard na napaatras siya.

"Ows?" Jake butted in. "Talaga ba? Bakit ka naman niya bibigyan ng letter kung ayaw niya sayo? Ayaw mag-boyfriend? Baka naman ayaw kang maging boyfriend?"

"Malay ko?" I bounced the ball angrily at him. "Am I bound to understand girls every now and then?"

"Tanungin natin si Boss Rahim kung anong pananaw niya." Brett turned into something like a reporter and asked Rahim.

Mabuti pa nga. Maraming babae sa pamilya nila mas naiintindihan niya ang mga babae dahil lahat ng kapatid niya babae.

"Bakit ako ang kailangang umintindi eh hindi naman ako ang binigyan ng love letter?" Rahim complained at the courtside, he's just sitting comfortably at the side of the court with the rubix cube in his hand.

"Master Rahim, alam kong mas naiintindihan mo dahil maraming babae sa pamilya niyo." Brett reasoned. That's true.

"Okay," he raised his hands, giving up. "I'll give you my insight. She probably give you the letter to express her feelings. Hindi naman porque gusto ka e gusto ka na rin maging boyfriend. Ikaw ba? Di ba ayaw mo rin? Not because she likes you ay gusto mo na ring patulan. It could be that, or she just like you but she doesn't want to pursue you."

Now I'm getting envious of him, he understands girls' feelings at least that much. While me? I can't even get a hint. I know how to make a girl fall swiftly, but when it comes to understanding them? Hindi ko alam. It's like a subject that I will always fail.

Maybe Denise's friend was right. Hindi man direktang sinabi sa akin sa akin pero parang ligaw na bala yon na tumama sa akin.

"May assignment ba mamaya?" Brett asked. "Fvck it, gusto kong uminom."

Biglang nanuyo ang lalamunan ko sa sinabi niya. Suddenly the image of a cold icy bottle of beer flashed through my mind. I gulped hard. "Yeah, drinks, especially the cold one."

"What do you say, Master?" tanong ni Jake kay Rahim.

Rahim just lifted his gaze. "May lakad ako mamaya, have you forgotten? Yuano is Emmett's close friend. Sinuntok ni Damian Antonio si Yuano. It's going to be bad for them. Especially to him."

Emmett is the current supreme student.

"So, you're going to save that guy from misery?" I raised my brow. "Really? After he did this to my face? May I remind you that he punched me! He punched your best friend!"

"May kasalanan ka rin tanga," irap niya. "You were too heartless by the way you broke up with his cousin. Kung ako rin yon baka suntukin rin kita. Ano? Sasama ka ba sa akin o hindi?"

"No way," iling ko. Baka mamaya pilitin niya pa akong mag-sorry kay Emmett sa pagsuntok ko sa tupa niya. I would never do that. Kneel? No.

"Inom tayo matapos makipagkita kina Emmett?" Brett asked. "I fcvking miss it."
