Their Kind of Love | √

Chapter 1 √

Mula nang magkaisip ako, lagi nang sinasabi sa akin ng mga tao sa paligid ko na sulitin ko dapat ang bawat araw ko. I find them weird but I agreed to them. Life is short 'ika nga.

Mas lalo ko lang naintindihan ang mga sinasabi nila nang malaman kong ilang beses na pala akong muntik na mamatay noong baby ako. Sakitin kasi. So I vowed to myself that I will live my everyday like it is my last. I will love, I will live. Oh, yeah!

"Kirsten Tan."

Napalingon ako sa tumawag sa akin. There I saw Marcus walking towards me. Agad akong napangiti pagkakita sa kanya.

"Hey." Bati ko sa kanya.

He sat in front of me and raised his eyebrow.

"Why are you here in this creepy library, huh?" He asked, looking around with a weird expression. Arte talaga nito!

I narrowed my eyes at him, "Bawal ba? And duh, I should be the one asking you why you're here. Aren't you allergic with books?" I teased.

He showed me his usual smirk, "Pupuntahan kita kahit nasaan ka pa. These books can't stop me."

I tried so hard not to blush. Inirapan ko siya para maitago ang ngiting gustong sumilay sa aking mukha. "Bola pa more po."

He grinned at me widely, "Can I have a little of your time, huh?"

Napakunot-noo ako. "Bakit?"

"Oh, well. I need to buy a gift for a... girl. But I don't have any idea what to buy for her." He said, scratching his nape.

And my mood changes from being happy to irritated real quick. I don't know kung bakit bigla na lang akong nainis. Maybe because he still have time to buy gift for other girl samantalang halos hindi na kami nakakapaghangout these past few months? Woah there. Mali maging demanding.

"So? Ano naman maitutulong ko sa'yo?" Muli kong ibinaling ang atensyon ko sa librong binabasa ko. I flipped it to the next page.

"Oh, come on, Kisses. I heard from other girls that they look up to you when it comes to fashion and all. I'm sure you can help me." I can imagine him pouting.

Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya at tama nga ako. I rolled my eyes at him, "Geez. Magkakaiba ang hilig ng mga girls, Marcus. 'Di mo ba alam 'yon?"

"Still. Hey, Kisses. My beautiful best friend? The most amazing girl in the world? Please?"

I let out a sigh. Makakatanggi pa ba ako?

✌✌✌

Kanina pa kami paikot ikot sa mall pero hindi pa rin kami nakakabili ng kahit ano.

"Try natin magtingin don sa shop na 'yon." He said sabay turo sa malapit na tindahan ng mga accessories na may pangalang Blue Nile. Ang pagkakaalam ko, sobrang mahal ng mga tinda dyan! Kunsabagay, mayaman naman si Marcus, eh.

I nod, "Alright."

We entered the shop and I was surprised to see some of my schoolmates inside. May mga kasama rin silang unfamiliar faces. From other school, maybe? They looked at our direction and smiled to us.

"Hey, Kisses, Marcus." Aizan, a member of our school band, called us.

Marcus draped his arm around my shoulder as we walked towards them.

"Hey, guys!" I smiled at them, though I feel a little bit of shyness since they are with some people I'm not even familiar with. Mahiyain kasi talaga ako, 'di lang talaga halata madalas.

Marcus did a fist bump to all the guys. It's kinda strange since I can feel the tension between some of the guys and Marcus' acting cold, weird and mysterious all of a sudden. Ano kayang meron?
