MISS NOT PERFECT

CHAPTER 32

Shock was understatement.

I stood here like my feet was nailed on the ground and I was just staring at Mikki's shocked face. My heartbeat's accelerated.

I got my first kiss! She's my first kiss!

I'm a guy, but I believe that first kiss must be special. And I can't believe that I ruined my own. Tss!

"Mikki.." I whispered.

She's still in shocked. Tinuro niya lang ako habang titig na titig sakin.

"You.." she finally said.

Somebody gasped, and when I looked around, I was so shocked when I realized that there are too many people witnessed what I've done. Heck. They'd seen me kissed her!

Napaface palm na lang ako.

Ugh!

I looked at her again. She's still looking at me like I grew another head and didn't say anything anymore.

"I-im s--" I didn't got the chance to finish my apology because Kerr came over and immediately snatched Mikki away from me.

I sighed.

What did I do?

Nakatingin lang ako sa kanila hanggang sa mawala sila sa paningin ko.

May mga lumapit sakin para makichismis. For the first time, hindi ko sila pinansin.

I'm not in the mood. I feel so stupid.

Pagkauwi ko sa bahay, nakita ko na lang ang phone ko na tadtad ng text messages at missed calls from random people. Balita nga naman ang bilis kumalat.

I checked sns and our picture was already uploaded. Stupid me!

I was about to call her but I then did realized I'll just feel awkward to talk to her if she'd answer my call. If she would even answer it.

I took a long breath.

I then decided to just text her and say my apology.

**

Isang linggo na.

Isang linggo na ang nakalipas pero hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin ako pinapatulog ng halik na yun! The heck! I could still feel her soft lips on mine that really frustrates me. Isang linggo ko na din siyang hindi kinakausap at iniiwasan kasi kapag nakikita ko siya, automatic na napapatingin ako sa labi niya na para bang gusto ko ulit siyang halikan. Ugh! Nababaliw na siguro ako!

Pero si Mikki, syempre as usual, siya pa rin ang poker face at expressionless na Mikki na parang walang kakilala at parang walang nangyari samin. I mean, parang wala lang sa kanya yung kiss. Siguro hindi ako yung first kiss niya kaya ganun. E ako? First kiss ko yun! At hindi ako makamove on!

"Okay ka lang ba?" tanong ni Ella.

"Yeah" I lied.

No, I'm not okay! Whenever she's near me, I will never be okay. Heck.

"Bakit parang ang seryoso mo these past few days? And napapansin kong hindi mo na siya kinukulit?" tanong pa niya.

I just stared at her. Nagkibit balikat na lang ako. I don't want to talk about her lalo na at katabi ko lang ang pinaguusapan namin.

"Matagal na kong nangangating itanong to. Now answer me, one week na ang pinalagpas ko, what did you feel after the kiss?" Bigla akong napalingon kay Ella. Hindi naman malakas ang pagkakatanong niya pero natatakot akong marinig ni Mikki o nang iba pang classmates namin. Buti na lang hindi gaanong napagfiestahan si Mikki after ng ginawa ko. I was the one who got lots of comments and violent reactions. Some guys said I was lucky I have the guts to kiss the cold princess without having broken bones after.
