BENTLEY'S P.O.V

Ngayon ang araw na ang buong mundo ay sinecelebrate ito kada taon. Sa bawat sulok ng makikita mo ang mga desenyo ay puro pula, puso, at mga pekeng bulaklak. Indemand din ang chocolate at flowers ngayong araw at uso ang confession.

Napana raw kasi sila ng batang naka diaper at celebration ni Saint Valentine. In short, Today is Valentine's Day.

Hindi porket Valentine's ay dapat magdiwang na ang mga may relasyon. Is this just a day to celebrate their love for each other? But I'm celebrating today because it marks the end of our monthly exam. Every month of the year, we take exams, which help us cope with our subject.

Also today, I received a large number of chocolates and flowers from my classmates outside our room, who confessed their feelings for me. I understand how hurtful it is when my crush is unaware of my presence or feelings.

As much as possible, I reject girls in a friendly manner, as do some boys. I was surprised at first when a first-year confessed, and it was followed by two more boys who were higher and from the same batch.

Their fearless confession left me shaken. Rejecting and undermining others' confidence is difficult for me, and I'm still keeping a distance from Ally. I carefully rejected the boys who confessed to me, and I also admitted that I liked someone, which they were fine with.

" You must be surprised that I confessed to you." Kyle, the higher year that confessed to me. Ngumisi s'ya habang naka tabingi ang ulo nito. Kyle is in his ninth grade and is Secretary of the Academy of Official Officers. 

" I am. At lima pa kayo o kung meron pangdadagdag." I replied. Hindi ko naman na pwedeng sabihin na hindi ako nagulat parang niloko ko na'rin yung sarili ko at siya.

" Ghad! Whoever that person you liked, that she's lucky." Sinipa ni Kyle ang maliit na bato para ilabas ang inis, tinawanan ko lang s'ya. " O s'ya Bentley, una na ako may need pa ako gawin sa office." Paalam ni Kyle bago maglakad palayo. kumakaway lang ako sa palayo niyang bulto. 

Paalis na ako sa garden kung saan ako pinagdala ng unang nagconfess sa akin at hindi na ako umalis dito kasi sunod -sunod silang dumating. Medyo hindi kasi ito pinupuntahan ng mga student dahil garden raw ito ng principal kung saan dito nya tinatanim ang mga paboritong bulaklak at halaman. 

Nakarinig ako ng kaluskos sa matataas na halaman. Nilapitan ko iyon kung may nagtatago at hindi ako nabigo sa hinala ko. Nagtaka at napataas ang kilay ko ng makita si Isabel na nagtatago sa matataas na halaman.

“ Hi, Bentley.” Kumaway siya ng maliit at may pilit na ngiti.

“ Anong ginagawa mo d'yan?” Tanong ko sa kanya at tinulungan s'yang umalis sa pagtatago. Pinagpagan muna niya ang sarili.

“ Ang dami pa lang nagconfess sayo no?!” Isabel emphasized the people who confessed to me.

“ Yeah?” Walang gana kong sabi at nanatiling walang lang interest sa ano pang sasabihin ni Isabel.

“ Ang dami kong nakitang mga lalake na nagconfess sayo. Gay ka ba Bentley?” My brow twitched after she asked me the questions. I scanned her face. She's just curious and no teasing or disgust in her as I observe.

“ It's none of your concern, Isabel. Even if I am Gay or Alien, ano naman sayo?” I may sound rude, but this is me. She's still Ally's girlfriend, and we hang out sometimes as well as my classmates, however, we're not close.

“ Kasi Gusto kita.” Isabel blurted and I frowned at her.

“ Don't Joke, Isabel,” I warned and left her to embarrass herself.
