It was a sunday morning and i decided to jog around the subdivision. Tatlong beses lang akong umikot sa phase namin at pumuntang 7eleven para magpahinga. Bumili ako ng gatorade at umupo sa table na nasa labas ng convenience store.
Stephen Speak's Out Of My League is playing on my mp3
I wonder how it feels to be out of your league because of someone.
People in love usually say that they can't leave without each other, that they're each other's strength and weakness. It has always been like that.
"You mean the whole world to me" its the most common line. but when they get separated, how come they still manage to live? they still smile, they still.. breathe.
"Fallon?" May tumapik sakin mula sa likod. I turned around to see the person walking towards the seat across mine. He seems so familiar.
"Lyndon?" Naalala ko na siya. Ka batch ko siya noong high school and unfortunately, we've never been classmates for four years. I knew him. He is so popular back then, i remember my friends having a crush on him when we were still in the same school. We have a number of mutual friends and we talked some times but we never really had a chance to be close with each other
"Ah. I knew it was you. Kamusta ka na?" It seems a bit awkward because we're not that close yet he's talking to me like i'm one of his closest friends whom he haven't seen for ages
"I'm good. How about you? I heard pumunta ka daw agad sa states after ng graduation"
"Yeah. My father wants me to study there. Fortunately, my mom wants me to graduate here so she told dad to just let me have a vacation in the US."
How did i know? Well, yung madaldal kong seatmate nung high school, which i can probably consider as one my close friends, ay may crush dito kay Lyndon kaya nasabi nya sakin 'to days before the graduation.
"So saan ka nagaaral ngayon?"
"We're actually studying in the same university. I've seen you a couple of times in the campus. I'm taking Management"
"I see, ang layo ba naman kasi ng main buildings natin. fine arts ako eh"
"Maybe we should hang out sometimes. I really wanna get to know you ever since. Kaso di tayo naging magkaklase noon" he let out a small laugh and i smiled at him. I saw how his dimples appeared from the sides of his mouth. Its cute.
"Sure. Just text me" his eyes seemed to shine when i put out my phone and handed it to him. Nilagay nya ang number nya dun at nagusap kami. Hindi ko namalayan ang oras dahil masyado akong napafocus sa usapan namin ni Lyndon
"So, that guy from engineering, uhm Blake, is he your boyfriend?" Nagulat ako sa tanong na yun. Never did i thought na pati si Blake ay kilala ni Lyndon, and worse, may alam pa sya tungkol sa pagsasama namin ni Blake
"Hell no! Bakit mo naman naitanong?"
"Palagi ko kayong nakikitang magkasama, i even saw you enter his car."
Teka stalker ba to? Hanep ah
"Don't get me wrong, okay? I'm not stalking you. Nagkataon lang nun na magkalapit ang sasakyan namin sa parking lot"
Marunong pang magbasa ng isip. Wow
"Okay okay. But really, hindi ko siya kaano ano. He is nothing but a mere devil in my life" ayoko nang dugtungan pa. Saying the word devil to describe blake is more than enough
Natawa si Lyndon sa sinabi ko. I guess he already figured it out.
"Does this mean i have a chance?"
