Two weeks had passed at di parin ako makapaniwala that a guy like Clint Vergara would cross my path.Lagi niya akong kinakausap and there were also are times na sumasama siya samin sa Canteen tuwing lunch.
Di ko alam kung pano kami umabot sa puntong ito pero sigurado akong nanlamig na sakin ang kaibigan ko simula nung tinanggap ko ang offer sakin ni Clint that we will date for a month at pagkatapos nun kailangan kong mag-decide whether he can still date me or itiitigil niya na.
Di ko nga rin alam kung ba't ako pumayag when he proposed that to be honest ang hirap kayang tanggihan ang isang Clint Vergara.
"Kung tatanggihan mo ako na i-date kita ng isang buwan,araw-arawin ko ang pangungulit sayo" He casually said.
"So you are telling me na makakalaya lang ako sayo if pumayag ako?"I scoffed. Nasa gym kaming dalawa. walang tao during that time so I felt comfortable talking with Clint in the location.
He nodded and stared at me for a few seconds before proceeding to smiling at me once again.God damn that smile.
"Alam mo namang kaibigan ko si Gray right? Yung patay na patay sayo?" I asked "Sasama loob nun sakin at baka layuan niya na ako ng tuluyan.Kokonti nga lang na kaibigan meron ako babawasan mo pa."
Nakatayo lang kami at siguro nasa dalawang hakbang lang pagitan namin but he stepped closer to me and I felt It was heavier every step he took as he goes near me.
"Magiging kaibigan mo rin naman ako ah" he said "Actually pati mga kaibigan ko magiging kaibigan mo rin".
I rolled my eyes which made him laugh.Ang perfect talaga ng mga ngiti niya.
"Okay"He sighed "I don't want to ruin your friendship with him, kakausapin ko siya,i will try to explain."
"No, don't do that!" I released a heavy sigh. "Diba pwedeng kaibigan na lang kasi? para tayong tatlo ang magbebenifit nito".
He paused for a while but he looked certain of he wants. Ito yata yung naririnig kong balita about him. What he wants,he gets.
"Lei. please? 1 month lang naman,mabilis lang iyon promise. Tas kung ayaw mo talaga sakin then I will leave you 'til our graduation. Di na kita papansinin.Di na kita kukulitin."
I glanced at my wrist watch. I still have 8 minutes before 1.Nakatitig lamang ako sa kanya,isang tao lang ang kaharap ko ngayon pero malala yung peer pressure na nararamdaman ko.
"Pero hindi kita titigilan until you say YES! " he threatened and I was not amused with that.
"Promise me na hindi malalaman ni Gray?" I asked. He nodded like a child. He was excited because he was sensing that I was about to agree.
"Meron din akong condition sa 'date for one month' na ito" I added.
He nodded again then he smile habang nilalapit niya ang sarili niya sa akin. I stepped back.
"Sige clint, okay. Payag na akong i-date mo for 1 month.One month lang ha. And don't take the other way around ha,i just want you to leave me alone."
