It was a typical Friday morning at school when William decided to take matters into his own hands.
He had been crushing on Jon for months now, but his shy demeanor had kept him from ever confessing. There are a lot of instances na aamin na sana siya kay Jon pero pag andun na kasi siya sa moment na yon is bigla nalang siyang nagmamalfunction, kaya ang bagsak lang din ay walang pag amin na nagaganap.
Now, here he is again with his agenda na umamin kay Jon. With this thing in his hand as his only chance now para magawa ang pag-amin niya. After weeks of desperate searching on the internet on what things should he do in order to make Jon, his, he finally found it. A site that gave answer to his agenda. Dahil sa hindi na niya talaga kaya ang umamin kay Jon, ito nalang ang paraan na naisip niya.
Browsing and buying from a love potion potion selling site...
Yes, gayuma.
A gayuma which claimed to work like magic if used with the right intentions.
He had spent the entire weekend reading up on it, masinsin niyang inaaral ang instruction na makalagay sa bote.
"You are in my mind, you are in my heart, love God and Goddess send my love to my arms."
Paulit ulit pa nga na ikinabesa ni William ang orasyon na iyan harap ng salamin para mas sigurado na siya sa kanyang plano. And Today, he was finally going to try it.
The plan was simple.
Slip it into Jon's drink during lunch, and watch as the magic unfolded. He didn't expect anything complicated. After all, the potion had been sold to him as a "no-fail" remedy for his love life.
Pero may isang nga lang na problema...
Si Miguel.
Nakalimutan ni William na isama si Miguel sa plano niyang ito. William had forgotten Miguel's relentless ability to appear at the most inconvenient moments. And as he stood in the crowded hallway, carefully holding his precious gayuma in his hand, Miguel appeared, like a tornado of chaos, out of nowhere.
Miguel was the last person William wanted to see right now. Not only was Miguel the class troublemaker, but he was also the bane of his existence. They had been enemies for as long as anyone could remember. And now, as fate would have it, the universe seemed to conspire against William's perfectly laid-out plan.
But fate must have been playing with him as inevitable things happened.
In the crowded hallway, Miguel charged forward, his large frame not even bothering to slow down, at ayun na nga, the two collided in a spectacularly clumsy way. William felt the air whoosh out of his lungs as Miguel's body slammed into his, and the small bottle of gayuma slipped from his hand.
"Putangina!! yung potion ko!"
William shouted in panic, but before he could even react, the bottle tipped and poured its contents all over Miguel's shirt. The liquid seeped into the fabric and, to his horror, began to sparkle and glow faintly.
Miguel blinked, completely unaware of what had just happened. "Ow, that hurt. What did you do, you-"
His voice faltered, and then his eyes softened, almost dreamily, as he looked at William.
