The Beginning of Our Love

Our First Talk

Cassandra's POV

Naglalakad ako sa hallway ng makita ko si Luis sa likod ng pintuan na nakatingin sa akin mabilis ko namang tinagtag ang tingin ko sa kanya. Bumalik lahat ng nangyari kahapon sa isip ko kaya napasibangot naman agad ako at pinipilit balewalain ang tingin niya sa akin. Nang makapasok ako sa loob ng classroom namin nakita agad ako ng mga kaibigan ko. Nakita nila ang nangyari kaya kaagad nila akong niloko pero sinabihan ko sa kanila na wala lang yun. 

"Anong wala lang yun, e kung matingnan ka ni Luis, nako may something yun magtiwala ka sa akin" sabi ni Yves na isa sa mga kaibigan ko.

"Wala lang yun ano ka ba malay mo may ibang tinitingnan yun hindi lang natin napansin" sagot ko naman.

"Wala ngang nasa likod mo tsaka kung ako sayo Cass aminin mo na yang nararamdaman mo sa amin kaibigan mo naman kami mapagkakatiwalaan mo kami" sabi ni Alexandra.

"Sige na nga, oo gusto ko si Luis pero may girlfriend na siya so ayaw ko nang umasa. Ano ba naman laban ko kay Gail diba. So guys wag na natin pag-usapan yan wala tayong mararating dyan" sabi ko sa kanila. 

"O diba sabi na nga e tumatanggi ka pa. Tsaka sinong nagsabi na wala kang laban kay Gail nako kung alam mo lang walang siyang laban kung icocompare sayo" sabi ni Alexandra.

"Masyado mo naman ata akong binobola. Ano bang alam mo kay Gail at nasabi mo sa amin yan ha? Magkakilala ba kayo or what?" tanong ko kay Alexandra.

"May pagka-bitchy si Gail. Ayaw niyang nalalaman na may ibang nagkakagusto sa taong gusto rin niya dahil sisiguraduhin niya na mawawala yung taong yun sa paligid nilang lahat. Si Luis hindi lang siya gusto ni Gail, mahal niya na si Luis. Ibigsabihin non mas kakaiba ang kayang gawin ni Gail" sagot ni Alexandra.

"Wag kang mag-alala kayo lang ang kaibigan ko tayo lang makakaalam ng nararamdaman ko kay Luis hindi ito makakalabas dba?" tanong ko sa kanila na kaagad nilang sinagot ng oo.

"Yan ha okay na wag kayong mag-aalala walang hindi maganda ang mangyayari sa akin. Hindi rin naman ako masyadong seryoso sa nararamdaman ko kay Luis" sabi ko ulit.

"Okay sabi mo yan pero wag kang mag-aalala andito lang kami palagi sa yo okie?" sabi ni Veronica na sinagot ko naman ng yakap at tawa.

Ang totoo ay gustong-gusto ko talaga si Luis. Ayaw ko lang na mag-alala ang mga kaibigan ko sa akin lalo na at kakaibang tao ang maaari kong makabangga. Pero sabi ko nga wala namang mangyayari kung hindi makakalabas sa amin ang tungkol sa nararamdaman ko kay Luis. 

When I was outside of our classroom I saw Luis putting somethings in his locker and get some book and then my friend Aqui came and tease me and Luis suddenly look at us. When Luis looks at us Aqui holds my hand and goes to Luis and asks his name and introduces me to him. I felt some butterflies in my stomach and I stared at Aqui a little bit serious that make me held his wrist and go away from Luis. When we are moving far away to him he looks at me again I feel more uncomfortable with it. After talking to her we come back to our classroom laughing.

After that thing happens I go to Luis and apologies for what happen and he said: "yes, it's okay." After that thing, my classmate Kath saw me with Luis and she talked to me.

"Cassandra don't you know that Luis already has a girlfriend and its Gail"  Kath said.

"I know but is there anything wrong because I'm just talking to him and there is nothing that you need to be serious," I said.

"But you have to be careful because Gail is my friend and I know her, she will fight for her love," Kath said.

"Okay,but don't worry I don't like Luis its just a talk and if there is anything that will happen that the reason is the thing that I talked about a while ago with Luis I will explain it to everyone, okay so lets go now before we get late" I said to Kath while we're walking to our classroom.

I lied to Kath the truth is that I'm starting to have feeling for Luis and I don't think that telling to her or our other friends about my feelings because I know that If I tell it to them later or tomorrow all of the students where will know about my feelings, so I just keep it by myself.

The dismissal came and I was going to my locker when someone held my wrist and pull me to the canteen and when I look it's Luis. When I saw him I don't know what would I do or what should I say. After I sit he also sits and he stared at me and I feel I'm gonna melt. I broke the silence and ask a question. I said to Luis why he brings me here is there any problem or something that he wanna say but he just stares to me again. After 10 minutes of sitting and he still not talking I just say that I will gonna go now because I have to do something but before I go he said to me that He......likes me. After he said that word I stop and look at him.

Luis' POV

I was looking at the ground when Cassandra speaks and said: 

"Are you okay because I think you're not. You have a girlfriend and now you're saying that you like me". I stand and look at her and said"The truth is that I love you! yes Gail is my girlfriend but I only like her you are my love and that's the reason why I always staring at you I want to talk to you but Gail confess to me and I don't want somebody to hurt because of me so I said that we can try and I thought that my love for you will change but It's not. That's why I gain my courage to say it to you all now. I'm afraid that If I tell it to you, you will just gonna ignored it I'm planning to break up with Gail later. So tell me is there anything you want to say to me?" 

Pagkatapos ng lahat ng sinabi ko kay Cassandra halata sa itsura niya na wala siyang masabi at nagulat siya. After my confession, we just stared at each other. It is Cassandra who breaks the cold silence that we have. She says that we should go now but before we go to the different directions I said to her and that I will talk to her again tomorrow morning if there's still time and she just nods and starts walking again.

Cassandra's POV

When I was walking I keep thinking about the thing that happened awhile ago. Hindi ko alam na mag-coconfess si Luis sa akin. Lalo nang hindi ko alam na he loves me. Ano nang mangyayari after makipag-break ni Luis kay Gail. Naalala ko yung sinabi sa akin ni Kath about kay Gail, that she will do anything for the one she loves. Ayaw ko nang gulo pero nakakaramdam ako ng hindi maganda dahil sa sinabi sa akin ni Luis at sa pakikipag hiwalay niya kay Gail. 

I like Luis too, may part sa akin na gusto kong aminin kay Luis itong nararamdaman ko sa kanya pero natatakot ako sa hindi ko maipaliwanag na dahilan.
