A Collision of Hearts and Heroes

Chapter 2

Clarissa's POV

Happy Crush

Pagkatapos ng galaang naganap ay umuwi ako sa amin. I have a lot of pending schoolwork, and I don't want to do it the other day. Ayoko pa sanang umuwi ngunit ayoko ring mag-cramming.

While I was writing, my phone beeped for a notification. Pinagpaliban ko muna at tinapos ang isang activity bago binuksan. Lyle sent me a Facebook friend request, so I promptly accepted it. I also stalked his account, but he doesn't post a lot. 'Yong sharedpost niya ilang buwan na ang nakalipas at about MPL pa. It gained a few comments, so I checked it. Nakita kong nag-comment si Gasper doon kaya agad kong pinindot ang pangalan niya ngunit naka-private ang kaniyang mga posts. Even his profile picture is set in private, and he doesn't put a cover photo, too.

Since I couldn't stalk him, I sent him a friend request. I know he won't accept it right away, so I resumed doing some of my activities. I spent hours before deciding to take a rest. Tiningnan ko 'yong friend request pero hindi pa rin ako in-accept.

"Check your socmed naman," I murmured.

I decided to take a bath nalang, so I can sleep after. Matapos ang night routine ko ay doon ko na binuksan ulit ang cellphone. I shrieked when the notification popped up that he had accepted my friend request! My heart raced as I hurried to his profile, but to my dismay, there were no posts available. Akala ko naka friends lang; wala naman talaga siyang posts.

I'm not sure what came over me, but I pressed the message button. Napangisi nang may maisip na kalokohan.

Clarieth Sancha Acozta:

Hi, love. How's your day? Nakauwi ka na ba? You didn't update me:(

Natatawa ako habang naghihintay na basahin niya. It took nearly five minutes before he noticed it. I was nervously biting the tip of my index finger as I waited. I saw him typing a message, but then it vanished. Siguro hindi niya alam anong ire-reply sa 'kin dahil ilang minuto pa ang lumipas bago siya ulit nag-typing.

Gasper Yvez Trizon:

You sent the message to the wrong person.

Humagalpak ako ng tawa. Dumapa ako sa kama at ngumingising nag-type ng reply. Napaka-demonyo ko naman talaga.

Clarieth Sancha Acozta:

Hala, hindi mo na ako love?:(

Gasper Yvez Trizon:

I don't have time for petty jokes.

Humalakhak ako lalo. Petty jokes daw!

Clarieth Sancha Acozta:

Eme lang po HAHAHAHHAHA

I didn't receive a reply after that. Ni-seen niya lang ang message ko. He's the kind of guy who gets irritated when girls flirt with him. That's why I enjoy teasing him even more.

Clarieth Sancha Acozta:

I just want to know if Zedi is with you ba? Kasi she did not reply to my messages.

Of course, it was a lie. Zedi is already sleeping. Para lang talaga may mai-chat ako. I know what I'm doing and I don't care if I'm being papansin. Gusto ko lang talaga mang-asar ng pogi ngayon.

Gasper Yvez Trizon:

She's not with us. Tatanong ako sa pinsan ko, baka may alam siya.

Clarieth Sancha Acozta:

I'll be waiting...

Kagat ko ang labi habang nagpipigil ng kilig. Nag-reply na siya ulit kaya tumihaya na naman ako para basahin 'yon.
