Nobody | Mikhaiah Au

Kiss

Left, right. Left? Or Right?

I can't remember kung saan ba ako dapat liliko. Sa pagkakatanda ko, it was somewhere here then I should see stairs pababa sa community nila.

I looked at the paper bag na naka lagay sa back seat ko. For Mikha. It was written in a pink gloss pen and alam ko na kung kay sino to galing -- Stacey.

I didn't force to find her house nalang and took a u-turn para bumalik sa condo ko.

Tossing my bag away, I slammed myself on the couch. I wandered my eyes and the eerie feeling of being alone in this big condo unit crept in. I missed my friends.

I called on Maloi and asked if she would want to have a sleep over but pagod na daw siya. Well, who wouldn't after the events kanina?

I just got back from our 2 months vacation and ramdam ko pa rin ang jetlag since dumeretso ako sa bar kanina. I should be taking a rest nga but since Stacey said na andun sila Lim, I dragged my tired ass there.

Tumayo na rin ako to get myself cleaned. Her blood stained my dress --- Versace, but I didn't care. I tried to act normal and calm kanina but I was internally panicking when Mikha got hurt which made me curse myself.

Everytime na napapalapit siya sa akin, nasasaktan siya.

We never started in a wrong foot naman sana. We used to be friends, like civil dahil we share the same circle. She was Stacey's tutor but even before that, I already got my eyes on her. Mabait, smiley, humble, matalino, masipag, magalang, crafty, magaling mag volleyball, she can sing, dance, she even plays drums, keyboard and guitar. She got it all.

But everything went downhill between us when I started dating Jaxon. Which I regret the most. Dahil sa stupid business na yan, my parents forced me to go out with him, testing some waters lang daw to see if we'll click. At first, it was okay. Not until I noticed that Jaxon is just too impatient and a brat. After our first date, he is already asking for a kiss which I didn't give. I remembered well how he threw some tantrums outside our house since hindi ako pumayag. Still, we hang out and eventually sinagot ko siya.

I found out that he's dating other girls so I was thrilled by that cause at last, I can reason out to my parents why I shouldn't end up with him. The day I was planning na makikipag break na sa kanya was also the day when Mikha and I started hating each other or should I say her hating me?

I was standing on the campus field, feeling the soft breeze of the air while waiting for the girls para sa gala namin when someone grabbed me from behind. Next thing I knew, there's a soft lip pressed on mine and when I opened my eye, it was Mikha.

I should be happy when that kiss happened but when Mikha started talking, it broke my heart.

"S-sorry. Akala ko si Ria."

So she's with Ria?

Anger filled me and without thinking, I gave her a hard slap.

"Bastos! Wag na wag mo na akong lalapitan Mikha! Nakakadiri ka!" I don't know what's gotten into me but sabi nga nila, it is what it is.
