HOW CAN I BLAME HER?

It was his thoughtful actions and being a gentleman made me infatuated to him.

Not to mention his way too popular in campus so it was next to impossible to get notice by him.

Lagi ko iyong bukambibig sa bestfriend kong rinding rindi na tungkol sa kaniya.

Magka unit kami sa boarding house at imbis na magstudy at magreview ay yun ang topic namin.

Pasikreto pa kaming nanonood madalas ng basketball game niya at kahit practice nito tuwing may vacant kami.

Never in my wildest dream nor I expected the day will come and he would look at me.

Nagulat nalang ako nasa tapat na siya ng room namim isang araw. He's ahead of us one year although we're both senior in highschool.

He said I left something in the inner court at gusto niya lang ibalik.

I didn't knew that will be the start of our first page.

Naging magkaibigan kami hanggang sa maging komportable sa isa't isa. Ngayon, tatlo na kami palaging magkasama.

Minsan nga nagtatampo na mga kaibigan niya sa kaniya dahil lagi na siyang sumasama sa mga gimic namin.

Rumors started circulating in our school pertaining how my crush is making a move on me.

Hindi ko iyon pinansin ngunit kalauna'y napagtanto rin kung paano siya makitungo sakin tuwing magkasama kaming tatlo.

Even my bestfriend said he likes me kasi siya daw ang unang lumapit at ginawa lang excuse ang panyong naiwan ko sa court.

But I don't want to assume, to not get hurt if the idea is still uncertain.

Not until he texted late at night that he wants to talk to me at a coffee shop.

My insides went chaos and my heart beats faster than usual.

What does this mean?

Bakit gusto niyang kaming dalawa lang?

Kahit tatlo naman kami laging magkasama.

Was he making a bold move? Was the rumor true all along?

So now I'm not assuming things?

Kinakabahan may ay sumipot ako sa coffee shop na tinext niya sakin kanina. Naghintay ako sa loob nang malamang wala pa siya.

Mabuti nalang at may lakad din ang bestfriend ko ngayong weekend kaya hindi na nagtanong kung may lakad din ba ko.

The bell shrine rang on the door telling me that someone has arrived.

There I saw the man I admire, domineering the pathwalk.

He was wearing a black dress shirt with his sleek black pants and clean cut hair.

I don't know how to act but when he sat down infront of me he looks serious. Like he was about to tell something.

That memory.....

It was still vivid in my mind. Now seeing my bestfriend and my crush bickering inside our unit.

To celebrate my birthday....

Throwing smudges of cake to their faces and laughing like there's no tomorrow.

I looked at my bestfriend who was clueless about the latter's feelings.

How can I blame her.

After all, It's not her fault that HE likes HER.
