When A Boy Falls In Love

II. Realization

It's been almost a month since the first day of school. And I was right, Emerald became soo awkward. Seldom nalang kami nagkakasama, shiz, miss ko na dati naming bonding. She has her new set of friends na, siyempre blue is blue, pink is pink, so ayun, siyempre puro girls ang friends nya. Ako naman, boys cus we have something in common, we are all computer addicts. We talk about computer games, computer innovations and newest au courant gadgets. And yung girls, as usual, they talk about BOYS, yes boys. One time nga, narinig ko si Emerald na humihiyaw when her crush, yung si Kim passed by the corridor. I don't know why but I felt jealous. I last felt this kind of feeling about 3 years ago, yung sa ex ko. Does it mean, I love this girl? Does it mean, im unconsciously falling in love? Does it mean, i joined this crazy little thing called love?

But, bakit ganito? Parang joke ang buhay? The moment you realized someone is important eh yung time din na di na pwede? Cus she's like awkward na eh, like she doesn't have enough time for me unlike then. And ako yung tipo nung taong di ka papansinin kung di ka uuna. Takot kasi akong maneglect eh. And i don't want my ego to get hurt kung di niya ako papansinin. I don't consider this na pride ito, pero feeling ko ito nga. Haha. Ang gulo ko, pero one thing is for sure, i love her.

Pero awkward na kasi siya sa akin, how can I possibly pursue this feeling? WAAAIT, I know na, her bestfriend, Gail. All i have to do is to be close with her so I have reasons to get closer to her. She could be the mediator, she could be the bridge. Ok, the plan is settled, I have to be close to her!

Pero paano ko kaya maumpisahan? Isn't it na parang makikipagFeeling close ako? Wahhh. Eh kung makikipagFC lang naman ako, eh siguro mas mabuting direkta na akong makikipagFC (well technically close naman kami then, pero may awkward kasing tinatawag) kay Em. Psh, bahala na si SuperBatman.

Gabi na nang dumating ako sa bahay, galit na naman si nanay.

"Toy, bakit late ka na naman umuwi?" pasigaw nyang sabi

 "Hwag niyo po kasi akong tawaging Toy, matanda na po ako!" angal ko.

"O sia sige, bakit nga nalate ka sa pag-uwi?"

"May ginawa pa po sa school, mga projects po!"

"Ano? Ke mid-term na mid-term palang , dami-daming projects agad?"

"Ma, di na po ako kinder!"

"Eh nung time namin noon, ang mid..."

"Ma, stop, 1983 is far different from 2013, ok?"

"Pero di mo ba alam na..."

"Ma, please stop, I'm tired"

Ay wow, first time kong natalo si Mama. Ganito na ba talaga ako kainspired?

Pagpasok ng kwarto ...

*Music from the radio playing*

Ngunit bakit, sa twing ako lumalapit

Ika'y lumalayo.

Puso'y, laging nasasaktan pag may

Kasama kang iba

Di ba nila alam, tayo'y nagsumpaan

Na ako'y sa'yo, at ika'y akin lamang.
