Do you experience to love or like someone else?
Because I do.
I'm Allyson Candice Innoval, you can call me Alice for short. I'm just a transferred student here at Cagayan de Oro. At first I don't wanted to be here not until I met Mico.
"Candice!" Kaagad akong napalingon sa pinanggagalingan ng boses. When I turned around I saw Mico wearing his beautiful smile.
Bigla ko tuloy naalala kung paano kami unang nagkita.
"Hi, I'm Allyson Candice Innoval, you can call me Alice for short." I said while wearing a wide smile on my face.
"You may now take your seat Miss Innoval. You can sit there beside Mr. Sandoval." Our Professor pointed out the empty chair beside a man.
"Candice right? I'm Mico by the way." He offered a hand to me but I only said, "Thanks" and smile awkwardly before I sat beside him.
It's awkward for me to adjust at first because I used to sit besides Ivy before I moved out here at our province. It's not quite bad as I imagined, it's more likely better than what I imagined in the province.
"Candice? Ayos ka lang ba?" Kaagad akong bumalik sa reyalidad nang marinig ko ang boses ni Mico.
"Ayos ka lang ba?"
"A - Ahh? Oo ayos lang ako. May iniisip lang."
"Sabay na tayo pag - uwi?" I just nodded as an answer.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero ang saya - saya ko kapag kasama ko siya. Normal pa ba ito? Siguro kabag lang ito.
Sobrang bait niya sa akin, tipong kahit hindi ko naman sabihin ginawa niya.
"Candice ano gusto mong bilhin?"
"Wala naman, kumain na ako sa bahay."
"Arghhh, sige na pumili ka na, my treat." I don't know why I agreed to him, maybe I can't resist his cuteness when he beg me to do something.
Minsan napapaisip ako kung may partner ba siya? Sobrang bait niya sa akin, pero ni minsan hindi ko natatanong kung may girlfriend na ba siya. I wander if he ever dated a girl before.
"Uhmm, Mico have you ever dated a girl before?"
"Yeah why?"
"Do you still have a girlfriend at this moment?"
"Nope, I've been single for almost five years at the moment. Bakit mo nga pala natanong?"
Kaagad akong natahimik sa tanong niya."Ah wala lang, I'm just curious." Hindi ko alam kung ano ba dapat kong isagot sa tanong niya.
"Do you have any plans this coming Saturday?"
Kaagad akong napalingon kay Mico habang kinakain ang kwek - kwek na libre niya sa akin. Umiling na lang ako bilang sagot sa kanya.
"Can you accompany me this Saturday?"
"For what?"
