"CAN'T FIGURE HIM OUT"

"Ate Pia, can I ask you a favor?"

Nangunot ang noo ko ng makitang lumapit sa akin si McKenna - Kuya Martin's younger sister.

"Can you gave this letter to kuya Argus?" Inilahad niya sa akin ang isang papel na nakalagay sa isang cute na envelope.

Nakakakunot ko iyong tiningnan. "Ano yan?"

"Love letter." Nakangising aniya.

"Love letter!" Bulalas ko sa kaniya.

What the hell!

"Y-you!" I pointed on her in disbelief. "Bata bata mo pa nag la-love letter kana! Gusto mong isumbong kita kay kuya Martin!"

"Excuse me? Ikaw nga grade 7 palang naghahabol na kay Kuya Paul." She fired back.

Aba!

"Isa pa, I'm almost 16. Is it bawal to like someone?" Mataray siyang nameywang sa harapan ko.

Talagang...

My brow shot up and I crossed my arms, "Fine. If you really like him then why don't you give it to him?" Hamon ko sa kaniya.

Napakurap kurap siya sa sinabi ko.

My smirk grew wide, "At least ako noon. Ako mismo ang nagbibigay ng love letter sa taong gusto ko. Hindi ko inuutos sa iba."

"But..." she pouted. "I'm too shy."

My brow shot up.

"And asking me this favor don't make you shy? Really?" I said sarcastically.

"This is a secret, okay? I can't show up just yet. Sige na, Friends naman tayo." Nakangusong aniya.

"Friends?" I looked at her in disbelief.

My goodness. Kaylan pa?!

"Sige na. Diba close kayo?"

"I'm not doing it." Seryosong sagot ko.

Nanliliit ang mga matang tiningnan niya ako. "Don't tell me you're still into kuya Argus?"

"What? Are you crazy?!" I snapped at her.

"Eh bakit ayaw mong ibigay yung letter ko? Eh, diba matagal naman na kayong tapos. Your engagement was call off pa nga."

My eyes widened, "How did you--"

"Duh. Eversince kuya Martin marry your sister, we're a family na. I know everything about it."

Nagtiimbagang ako.

"Fine!" I gave up and pulled the letter from her hand.

Ngumisi siya sa akin samantalang matalim ko naman siyang tiningnan.

"Thank you! Your the best!"

I rolled my eyes.

Buwisit na batang yun! I hate that kid! She's always getting into my nerves eversince the day I get to know her.

How old is she again? 15, 16? Grade 9 or 10? But Argus is in Grade 12! He's in his senior year. He's way older than her!

This is where your attraction get into, huh? You'll put yourself in an embarassing situation just to let your feelings known. Well... that was me. I don't do that kind of stuff anymore.

Isn't always have to be like that though? Kapag ba nasa mga ganuong edad puro kahihiyan ang mga pinaggagagawa kapag may nagugustuhan, and your just realized how embarassing it was when your matured enough to think things through.
