Opposites Attract

Chapter 7

Kianna's POV

I was still reeling at what Andrew said. What surprised me more was how he walked out on mw after saying he loves me. Like what the fuck?! Hindi siya yung tipong magsisinungaling tungkol sa ganun kalaking bagay.

Kahapon lang nangyari pero parang ilang minuto lang ang dumaan. Halos di ako makatulog kagabi kakaisip sa sinabi niya. It was an achievement that I didn't crash my car. I was on my way to the building's rooftop to cut class nang magkatagpo kami.

When people say they feel like time stood still when they see a certain person, I kept thinking they were overreacting. But I can say they weren't kidding anymore. Para talagang tumigil ang oras nang magkatagpo ang tingin namin ni Andrew.

"Yan..." my name sounded like a prayer from his lips. Para rin siyang naguguluhan. Di ko alam gaano katagal kami nagtitigan. It could've been minutes or hours. Neither of us cared though.

Walang tao sa mga corridor. "I... I'm sorry," tumakbo ako pababa. I just couldn't face him right now. Di ko alam anong sasabihin sa kanya.

If someone were to ask me how I felt about him, answering I didn't know was too true. Hindi ko masasabing wala akong nararamdaman sa kanya. It would be too much of a lie. And not only because he was my childhood friend. And saying I loved him as more than a friend is something I couldn't accept yet.

Andre's POV

Dumating ako sa bahay at inabutan ko ang kakambal kong nakatanga sa kawalan. It wasn't often I saw him this way. If I didn't know better, I'd think he was brokenhearted.

"Drew," tawag ko sa kanya. Di siya natinag. Parang wala siyang narinig. Lumapit ako sa kanya at binatukan.

Natauhan siya at pinanlisikan ako ng mata. "Tangina mo! Anong problema mo?!"

"Hindi ako ang may problema kundi ikaw. Anong nangyari sayo? Para kang namatayan." Nawala ang inis sa mga mata niya. He looked sad and vulnerable at the moment.

"Alam na ni Kianna..." he muttered. I was right. He is brokenhearted. "She won't even talk to me now. Anong nang gagawin ko?"

"If you want serious advice, I'm the last person you should come to. But if it makes you feel better, I'm gonna give you some anyway. Wag mo siyang sukuan. You kept and nurtured your feelings for her for what seems like forever now. It can't give up without trying. You are not my brother if you gave her up that easily. She feels something for you bro. Baka di pa lang siguro niya maamin sa sarili niya."
