"I knew it.." parang wala lang na saad ni Zian.

"You knew?" takang tanong ko dahil tulad ni Eric ay sumigaw din sya kanina at umaktong gulat sa sinabi ko.

Mayabang naman siyang ngumisi at tumango. "Don't you think you we're too obvious at the students night last time?"

"I-I wasn't really sure about it back then"

"Huh?!..eh diba di mo nga siya pinansin that night?..hindi ka nga makatingin sa---shīt!" Erick suddenly shouted as the realization hit him. It makes me kind of shyyy....

"Ahmmm..I'm feeling a bit shy now..keep it a secret. I'm resting" pagtataboy ko dahil ayokong makita nilang namumula ang mga pisngi ko.

"Magpagaling ka and talk to her. Her friends won't tell us anything."

"Magcha-chat ako mamaya sa kanya" sagot ko naman.

"Taray ni accla..alam account ni crush" pang-aasar ni Erick na ginagaya ang boses ng isang babae na kina-irap ko.

"I...kinda...seeing her accounts....sometimes." naiilang na ani ko.

"stalker din si beshyyy" dagdag ni Erick.

"Stop it..labas na kayo." pagtataboy ko sa kanila. Sabi na aasarin ako eh.

"Tsk. Pagaling ka"

"Don't worry about me..I'm fine. OA lang sila mom." masungit na ani ko. Ang tagal nilang umalis.

"Yeah, whatever..sibat na kami" saad ni Zian bago tumalikod.

"Take care."

"Bye." Nagwave sila bago isara ang pinto ng kwarto.

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but couldn't.

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at inabot ang cellphone ko na nasa table.

I went straight to fb and search for Dione's fb account.

Her name there is DIONE RAMIREZ.

I click the message box as soon as her profile showed up.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako kinakabahan pero sa kabila non ay nilakasan ko parin ang loob ko na magsend ng chat sa kanya.

"Hey, Mr. Fernandez was asking why you haven't went to school this past weeks." I typed and send it. I thought it would take a lot of time before she could reply but to my surprise she message me fast.

"About that Mayor, balita ko nasa hospital ka..magkita nalang tayo kapag okay kana." basa ko sa reply niya.

"I'm fine now. Let's meet by tomorrow." patatagalin pa eh gusto kitang makita.

"Sige, kung yan gusto mo." ang ikli naman. Tsk.

"Okay."

Nagreact sya ng 'heart' at hindi na yon nadagdagan pa gusto ko sanang makachat pa sya ng mas matagal kaso..baka makahalata kasi sya eh.

Hindi sa ayaw kong malaman nya. But, I prefer not to tell her. I just thought na kung sakaling hindi kami pareho ng nararamdam it would be awkward for the both of us..lalo na at alam niya na may pagkabaliko ako.

Natatakot din ako.

Rejection. Sadness. Pain.

I cant imagine myself crying because I got rejected by her. Well, were not that good to each other but I can call her one of my friend.
