Secret and Lies

PART 1

MIKHA'S POV

"I like It" i said.

We're here na sa philippines, we're buying a new house near sa mga friends ko.

We need to stay here because may binigay na business which is reastaurant, Si mom and dad ang nautusan ni lolo para imanage ito.

"Dapat lang ito na ang pinaka malapit na house sa mga friends mo and i tratransfer ka na namin sa school nila okay?" Dad said and I nod as an answer.

"Sige na, my princess you can pick your room na" Dad teasingly said.

"Bahala ka diyan Dad" Sabi ko then pumunta nako para mag explore ng room, nakakahiya kaya na matawag pang princess sa edad kong to well di ko sila masisisi nagiisa lang nila akong anak.

I spotted a room na may balcony and to my surprise yung roof ay glass perfect for stargazing buti nalang nacocover ito whenever i want.

Pagpunta ko sa Balcony i saw a familiar figure and she's playing, it looks like colet, I tried to call her while Im staring at her, For confirmation finally she answered, Totoo nga na magkakalapit lang kami ng houses.

"oh why? napatawag ka lim?" Naiinis niyang sabi, natatawa ako sa reaksyon niya na nakikita ko mula dito sa balcony.

"Walalang, kaway ka nga" I asked while laughing.

"piskit, ano ba problema mo ingame ako oh" Sabi niya halatang lalabas na si anger.

"Tingin ka nalang sa tapat ng bahay niyo" I said.

"Kung ano ano nanaman pinapagawa mo sakin ah, di ko naman kilala mga tao dit-" di na niya natuloy ang sinasabi niya nung makita niya akong kumakaway.

"HOY BAKIT KA NANDYAN DIBA NASA AUSTRALIA KA????"Sigaw niya na rinig ko naman kahit wala sa call, Natatawa lang ako sa sinabi niya.

"Tara dito ill explain to you here" I said then i end the call, kitang kita ko siya na nagmamadali papaunta dito.

"Hoy mikha lim!!!" Sigaw sakin sabay yakap, halatang miss ako grabe.

"Wag mo naman masyado ipahalata na miss moko"I said then hug her back.

"Bakit di ka nagsasabi na uuwi ka?" she asked. This is colet one of my childhood friends.

"Surprise nga eh, kapag sinabi ko agad sayo hindi na surprise yun" I said na kinatawa lang namin pareho.

"alam naba nila gwen that you're here?" Tanong niya.

"Nope sa monday nalang siguro, sa school" I chuckled, balak ko silang gulatin lahat eyy!!

"Wait what?!Here ka na din mag aaral like you're staying here for real!?" Parang batang sabi ni Colet.

"Oh bakit di ka parin humihiwalay sakin col? Miss na miss mo ba ako" Dagdag ko kasi di na nawala yakap sakin ni col, nagulat naman siya sa sinabi ko at tumawa nalang.

"And to answer your question it's a yes!" I answered her questions na ikinangiti niya.

"Nice makokumpleto na ulet tayo sa wakas!!!" Masayang sigaw ni colet.

"Punta tayo sa mall mag dinner tayo later" dagdag pa niya, not a bad idea since i need some clothes and Im so gutom na.

"Sure! My treat" I confidently said ngiting nigti siya alam ko naman yun lang hinihintay niyang sabihin ko.

"Very good, Sige na mauna na muna ko para makapag ready na din."She said and hug me.

"Nice to see you again lim" She said bago siya umalis ng bahay.

Pagkaalis ng bahay ni col nakasalubong ko si mom sa kitchen

"oh kamusta reunion mo with nicolette" Mom asked.

"It was good mom, Btw later di na kami dito mag didinner we're going to the mall para shopping na din" I said.

"Sure anak have fun with nicolette huh" She said happily.

"one last thing can i borrow your car?" Nahihiya kong tanong kay mom.

"maybe yes or maybe not?" She teasingly said.

"Mom!" i groaned.

"Nasa bag ko yung keys kunin mo nalang and Mikhaela please be careful" Paglambing sakin ni mom, di ko nga alam kung may tiwala ba talaga to sakin or what.

A few hours later inaya ko na si col na magpunta sa mall, nagsuot ako ng cap at ng facemask baka makita ako nila gwen since magkakalapit lang bahay namin diba?

Nasa car na kami papuntang mall then suddenly colet break the silence.
"Kamusta ba lim, ano ang balita sayo do you have a boyfriend already? oh wait or should i say girlfriend?" Colet asked teasingly, nagulat naman ako sa sinabi niya, Im straight col Im straight!

"Nah there's no time for that and excuse me are you accusing me for being gay?" Natatawa kong sabi sakanya.

"I guess?" she said while laughing, hais i know col was gay im cool with it but not me.

Nung makarating na kami sa mall agad naman kaming nag shopping ng mga needs ko after that we ate our dinner.

"How about you col are you seeing someone naba?"I asked her.

"Hmm parang? actually nasa talking stage palang kami and i dont know how to ask her ee then lowkey lang kami" sabi niya sabay kindat sakin, nagtataka ako "her"? so yeah kala ko guy naman this time pero she's still the same.

"Ikaw huh dapat ipakilala mo sakin yan, does gwen and stacey know about that?" I asked her.

"yes but they didn't know kung sino"col said. "here's the clue she's our batch mate, school mate, or maybe classmate" Dagdag niya, ewan ko ba kung bakit niya nasabi yan wala akong kilala sa school colet magtratransfer palang ako for pete's sake.

"nice clue col, madami akong kilala oo wake up magtratransfer palang ako hello"i sarcastically said, tawang tawa siya after ko sabihin yon.

"that's the point you know no one lim kaya mag investigate ka sa school sa monday kung makikilala mo" She said Napairap nalang ako sa nangyare.

Pagkatapos naming kumain nagpaalam ako kay colet na pupunta ako sa korean mart to buy some midnight snack since wala pa naman kaming stocks sa bahay namin, I decided to buy some vanilla ice cream. Nandito na ako sa harap ng freezer to get my ice cream pag kabukas ko ng freezer i found out na iisa nalang to well its my luckiest day today, when im about to grab it someone's grab it na ikinagulat ko.

"hey that's mine ako unang nakakita niyan"naiinis kong sabi.

"well not yours, ako ang unang nakakuha"she said then smirking at me, nakakainis talaga.

"ako parin unang nakakita miss" paglalaban ko sa ice cream ko.

"No, ice cream stealer" she said sabay irap saakin, i guess not my luckiest day.

I ignore it nalang she's cute naman uh wait what? she's cute but bakit ako nagpapadala sakanya acting that i like her argh you're straight mikhaela!
