I blinked my eyes multiple times. The white ceiling of my room greeted me when I woke up. I immediately noticed that the sun is already up, then it dawned on me.
What the fuck.
I didn't sleep a wink!
It's all Amiel's fault! Masyado niyang ginulo ang utak ko with those few words. He's the one who's confusing me here! What does he even mean by that?
Was that a confession?
Naiinis akong gumulong sa kama habang parang baliw na sabunot ang buhok ko. Nahulog pa ako kaya siguradong dinig sa baba yung ingay na 'yon. It didn't took a milisecond for Elri to shout na h'wag daw ako maingay kaya napairap ako.
I decided to fix myself first. Nagulat pa ako sa sarili ko pagtingin ko sa salamin. There are big bags under my eyes! My lips looks dry, and hindi ko pa pala natanggal yung false lashes ko sa isa kong mata. I look messy! I look ugly―of course not. Just a little disoriented.
This is the outcome of staying all night thinking about him! Natapos ko na sana ang pagtatahi sa mga designs ko kung hindi dahil sa sinabi niya. Before leaving their campus, I asked what he meant by that, but he ignored me and told me to go home as if he's my father!
Damn him!
He better give me a satisfying answer once we see each other!
"He's confused daw, does that mean something's going on! Gusto niya na ba ako? He's starting to like me?" I bit lips and hug the throw pillow thinking that it might be possible. Para akong tanga na kinikilig. Well, I can't find any other reason?!
"None of the above," sagot ni Elri habang nagbabasa. Dapat talaga sa friends ko muna ako nag-kwento, at least there's a possibility that they would be supportive of me.
"You're so epal ano?!"
She looked at me with bored eyes then shrugged. "Sabi mo ayaw mo ng commitment," Elri being Elri even played a recording kung saan ko sinabi 'yon when I was drunk!
Why does she even have that!
We stayed on our dorm dahil weekend ngayon. Nanonood lang kami ng game. May laro sina kuya Verlin against Colegio de San Juan, but we're only going to watch in live stream. As much as we want to go in the stadium, we're still busy, especially, Elri.
Sa semi finals na lang ulit kami pupunta dahil may possibility na maging magkalaban ang school nina kuya Verlin at kuya Anzai.
"Kaninong game ang papanoorin mo if maging magkalaban ang team nina Kuya?" she shrugged. "If I could just break my body in half."
"Ano'ng atake mo? Manananggal?" I rolled my eyes, annoyed.
The screen flashed the previous plays. I even saw Amiel's last shot against Mei. I saw Elri winced nang tumingin siya roon.
