That Awkward Moment
Guess some people just don't deserve happy endings, do they?
Unfortunately for me, I'm one of those people. Right on the mark.
Kakasimula pa nga lang, wala pang masyadong nangyayari.. natapos na agad.
"Hey, cheer up! Is there anything to worry about?" Cassidy asked, her doe eyes wondering. I'm so transparent or she's just so observant.
I just shook my head. Everything's going on to my head is so d*mn petty. I'm taking it to a whole new level alright. I get it. I'm exaggerating.
She would've just laugh it off if she was on my shoes. Despite her dazzling aura surrounding her from head to toe, I suddenly remembered her experiences being rejected directly by a handful of guys she liked before. And by the looks of it, she didn't mind it all. She took it like its just a phase in life compared to me which only seems to be just indirectly. I'm simply making a mountain out of a mole hill.
I'm still young anyway. We're both 16. Darn, I can't believe I'm being this emotional over a guy I just met. Akala mo naman ang tagal na namang nagkasama para masabi kong first heartbreak ko 'to.
Anyway, if you're not yet happy then its not yet the ending.
Optimism should be my middle name from now on. I'll overcome this sickness and I'll find my one great love though I'm still hoping that I already did from the moment I laid my eyes on him.
Its too early to give up on life. To give up on love. When all the others are still believing despite of many misfortunes. I should believe it.. for it to happen. I'm just on the verge of it anyway. Still getting the hang of it.
I was about to turn away from the window to wander around the hospital with Cassie when I saw a balloon approaching from the ground. It came from Anthony's direction below. It seems like it belonged to the kid beside him.
Is this a sign to pursue him? Actually I've been seeing him around for weeks now but we never really talked much since we first met. Siguro mga 2-3 times a week ko sya nakikita. We just merely exchange glances and smiles whenever we cross paths around the hospital dahil mukhang palagi kong natye-tyempuhan na mukha syang busy o tuliro pero hindi ko naman matanong kung bakit. Nakakahiya naman. Baka isipin nya, chismosa ako.
So I guess this is the right call. A chance to grab.
The kid started to cry and Anthony being the kind-hearted he is, comforted and patted the kid's shoulder and back. He whispered something to the boy who nodded in return. Anthony then walked away from him, his eyes wandering around the area. I figured he was trying to find a balloon vendor to replace the one which flew away.
When the wind blew it off towards our side, I got a hold of it.. making way for a chance to see and talk to him up close and personal again.
Nagkatinginan kami ni Cassie. Nagkakaintindihan na kami sa mga ganoon palang.
Kaya hindi na sya nagulat ng hinila ko ang balloon mula sa bintana papasok sa ospital at nagmamadaling dumiretso sa elevator para bumaba at isauli iyon sa bata. Sinundan niya naman ako being a supportive best friend.
Hindi ko mapigilang mapatakbo papunta sa garden pagkalabas namin ng elevator sa lobby.
"Hey! Easy there, Serenity! Something might happen to you if you don't slow down," pagsaway naman sa akin ni Cassie habang patuloy na nakasunod lang sa likod ko trying to keep up with me.
