Chapter 8
Chickened Out
The weather in NY is giving me chills. Ngayong malapit ng matapos ang October ay nagsusulputan na rin ang decor for Halloween. Oh, well, two days before Halloween na lang pala! Nagbabalak nga 'kong sumama sa parade and I am thinking what costume should I wear. Maybe, a witch, zombie...but I want something inimitable and creepy though!
But being close with Leigh in 0.00001 percent is what I loved the most right now. Hindi taas ng kilay lang ang natatanggap ko sa kanya. Minsan, may okay na siyang salitang binibigay sa akin, if ever I asked her something. Pero kapag inaaya ko siyang sabay kaming mag-lunch, no lang ang natatanggap ko sa kanya. Well, literally, sabay naman kaming mag-lunch, but then, hindi ko siya katabi dahil mag-isa lang siya lagi sa isang table. Me, with some gals and guys in our class.
Minsan talaga'y inuunahan ko si Leigh na makalabas ng room para makasabay ko sa hall. Masaya akong nakakasabay siya kahit dito, no, kahit na hindi kami nag-uusap. Kahit na nasusulyapan ko siya ng maraming beses na hindi na siya gaanong naiirita...siguro. Well, her look told me so, e.
Last night, I talked to my father and tito Fernando for an update. I told them that I'd been with Leigh in activity. Na minsan nakakausap ko siya ng sandaling oras. Na minsan nakakasabay ko nga siya sa paglakad hanggang sa unit niya. I could see on tito's eyes his happiness about my info about her daughter. The longing is still there and so visible through those eyes.
Don't worry, tito. I'll try to give Leigh a big hug as what you want! I will never give up!
Now, I am busy fixing, creating a small table from bottle of wines and a piece of thick woods. I shaped the woods and trying to make hole para sa mga bottles. My phone buzzed when I am calculating how big should be the hole.
Napapunas ako ng palad bago dukutin ang phone ko sa loob ng damit ko--sa aking bra.
My eyes lit up when I saw who texted me.
Because the lyrics texting has just begun!
From Seb:
you are my favorite everything
I know that!
Mabilis pa sa ostrich akong nag-type ng message.
To Seb:
PINK SKIES!!!!!111!! LANY!!
I got a reply to him immediately.
From Seb:
Right, lyrics genius. Your turn, maybe, if you're not busy.
To Seb:
Ha! Kinda, you know! Trying to create some things na naman. Because I am bored. You, not busy, love?
To Seb:
Okay, my turn.
I walked towards the house. Nang ako'y makapasok at nakaupo sa couch ay may reply na si Sebastian sa akin.
From Seb:
Done with work. Trying to avoid my manager.
Pinatong ko ang paa ko sa lamesita sabay ng pagkunot ng aking noo habang nagtitipa ng mensahe.
To Seb:
Speaking like I'm bigger than my body
To Seb:

Aktuelle LiteraturLana Marjorie del Rey refused to be a puppet of a world she doesn't admire. She was tired of being not herself anymore. She destroyed the image they'd pictured of her. She could no longer pretend to be someone who she's not. Ayaw na niyang ikulong a...
