Shendel's POV

Weird.

Yeah. Very weird.

It's really weird.

*lubdub*lubdub*lubdub*

Sounds really weird...

Omygash.

Napahawak naman ako sa dibdib ko habang yung isang kong kamay nakasabunot sa hair ko. Umiling- iling pa ko. Then I looked at myself infront of the mirror. I'm blushing.

Pumikit ako ng mariin.

Oh nooooo!

Why am I blushing? Why am I imaging his smile? Why am is my heart beating fast?

Omhyaghad!!!

This is weird.

My heartbeat is beating fast and I'm blushing, and it is all because I'm imagining his smile!!

And the weirdest of all is that when I say 'his smile', I'm not talking about Chezter's smile...

It was Benedict Maxhimilian Acquesta's smile!

*lubdub*lubdub*lubdub*

And even his name is making my heart go crazily weird.

Oh no! What's happening to me? At kelan nga ba toh nagsimula?

That Monday, when I found out that he skipped classes for my little bro? Listening to his made up fairytale story? Looking at his tired but contented face while checking at Randell's temperature?

Is it that Tuesday morning when he was the one who bought my favorite slice of cheesecake for my recess-- it is cheesecake! His most hated food ever! Or that moment when I noticed that his neck upto his ears turned a bit red when he put the cheesecake infront of me-- and he was so cute that I want to pinch his blushing cheeks! Or maybe that moment when he stuttered while saying: "A-ayaw kong m-may nakikitang ganyan sa ano.. Sa canteen! K-kaya ka-kainin mo lahat ng g-ganyan hanggang sa w-wala na kong m-makita!"- he was weird but I'm weirder because still find him cute.

Or is it that Tuesday lunch we spend with Randell? The teasing, playing and laughing like we were little children like Randell. Or that Wednesday afternoon, nung hinintay nyang matapos ang club meeting namin and accompanied me to commute going home kasi nauna na sila Manong Driver at mga kapatid ko at kapatid nya? Nung Thursday siguro na binibwisit nya ko sa text pauwi habang kasabay ko si Chezter? Or kahapon, Friday, when he proudly told me that he's not bullying anyone anymore because of me-- err-- because of my rule?

And remembering what happened the whole week makes me wanna smile.

"Ate, yung totoo? Ano pong nasinghot nyo po?" tanong na may halong pang-aasar ni Shamnel.

Binigyan ko sya ng confused look.

She grinned really wide like an idiot. "Gerneto peo kashi yeung ngiti me kenina." She said while doing that crazy wide grin.

Ow. Nakangiti na pala ako kanina!

"Hayaan mo na Shams. In love yan eeh. Yieeeh. Ate hah!" sabi naman ni Shemry.

I imediately blushed. In love? O.o

"Sinagot mo na po ba si Kuya Chezter, Ate?" tanong naman ulit ni Shamnel.

Nanlaki naman lalo yung mga mata ko- pero cute pa rin naman tingnan. Pero omhayghad! Si Chezter nga pala!

"Ate?" tawag ulit sakin ni Shamnel at Shemry.
