Words Left Unspoken (ONE SHOT)

Hello. This is my first one shot story. Read and Enjoy! :)

MIA'S POV

Adrian Martin sent you a friend request.

Adrian Martin... How can I forget that name? The first guy whom I consider my first heartbreak. Or The guy whom I shared great friendship with. Those memories made me cry. Why now? After 5 years you left, this is the first time you contact me. 

.

It started when we were freshmen. Hindi kita masyadong napapansin noon kasi hindi ka naman pumapasok sa klase, parati kang absent at tuwing exam at may activities ka lang sumusulpot, lakwatsero ka kasi. Saan ka ba nagpupunta nun? Pero kahit na minsan ka parin pumapasok ay huling-huli mo naman ang pansin ng mga kaklase natin o ng mismong campus, kahit na first year high school lang tayo, pati senior ay napapansin ka parin, bakit? SAKSAKAN KA RAW KASI NG KAGWAPUHAN. I can't argue with that, totoo naman.

It was after lunch and our teacher didn't arrive yet, our girl classmate Liza was running and she handed me a cap and told to keep it, I kept it. I wasn't aware it was yours and you were looking for it. Liza's your close friend among the class and I know she has a secret crush on you (every girl had a crush on you) except me. Okay I admit I find you good looking. Ewan ko nga ba kay Liza bakit itinakbo ang sumbrero mo at sa akin pa binigay. After weeks naalala ko na na sa akin pala yung cap, nasa back pocket kasi nung shoulder bag ko kaya hindi ko napansin, binigay ko kay Liza and she gave it back to you. You asked who kept it for so long and she said. "MIA, our class monitor." You nodded after looking at me and smiled. 

We never had a real conversation during freshman year except for the times I did my roll calls and you said "present" or raised a hand. Until sophomore year had come and you finally attend class and less absences. Hindi ko alam kung saan nagsimula at biglang nagsimulang kausapin, asarin at kulitin mo ako. Naging close tayo at tinukso ng mga kaklase natin, may mga araw na parang hindi kumpleto ang araw ko pag di mo ako binabara o pinupuna. Friends. Close friends until you said it that we are Best friend. Sinabi mo pa sa Ate mo na ako ang girl best friend mo. 

"Yang si Mia at si Adrian, parang mag syota, super close. Bagay na bagay  talaga kayo."

"Uuyyyyyy. Kelan naging kayo?"

"Ano ba kayo? Magkaibigan lang kami" Me.

One time, we were in your house and Ate Allison started showing me your baby pictures, you were a chubby kid then and cute. Binigyan mo pa nga ako ng dalawang picture mo, isang baby picture at isang kindergarten picture with your mom. Hindi ko naman hiningi, nag prisinta ka lang na ibigay sakin.

Ang mga oras na palagi tayong magkasama. Anjan pag kailangan. Syempre mag BEST FRIEND eh. I was there when you won your basketball game. You were present when I audition for the drama club and cheer me up. You punched the first boyfriend I had whi happens to be a two-timing jerk. We played scrabble and ate midnight snacks and watch our favorite TV shows together. Palagi nalang akong nagiging "girlfriend" mo pag may  ex-girlfriend kang nakasalubong kasama ako. You were there when my elder sister died. You mourned with me and comforted me. Todo suporta naman ako sayo at palagi mo akong napipilit igawa ka ng mga paperworks pag nakalimutan mo. But then, that kind of friendship ended until you confessed...

"MIA, I think I am falling for someone."

"Ha? Sino? si Clarise ba? mabait naman yun kaya pwedi na."

"Hindi siya, basta kilalang kilala mo siya."

"Ewan ko sayo Adrian. Sabihin mo na kasi."
