Okay, let's get this straight. Why am I staring at them? Why can't I look away and forget what I saw? Why can't I stop looking?
"Sa tingin ko may gusto ka na kay Tyler..." Jade
Bigla ko namang naalala ang sinabi ni Jade sa aking nung isang araw. Am I? Am I falling for this gangster?
"Rien? Are you okay?" tanong ni Dylan.
Sinundan naman ng tingin ni Dylan ang tinitignan ko at parang naintindihan na niya kung bakit nakatunganga lang ako.
"May gusto ka na ba kay Tyler?"
I was back to my senses at umiling.
"Says who?"
"Your actions..."matamlay niyang sabi.
Bigla naman akong nakaramdam ng lungkot parte ni Dylan. Alam kong masakit sabihin ang mga salitang iyon. Pero gusto ko lang ito baliwalain... maging manhid.
"I don't like him. I don't." sabi ko.
"Talaga lang? Eh bakit hindi ka pa rin tumitigil sa pagsilip sa kanilang dalawa?" sabi ni Dylan.
Agad agad naman akong tumingin sa ibang direksyon at naglakad papalayo.
"I'm not. I don't care."
Hinabol naman ako ni Dylan. Tumakbo nanaman ako papalayo. Bahala na kung saan basta malayo sa kanya, sa kanila. Gusto kong mapagisa. Bwisit. Naguguluhan na ako.
Nakarating naman ako ng parking lot. Umupo naman ako sa sahig at huminga ng malalim.
"Why are you sad? Again?" Tyrence ask me as he seated beside me.
We are here at the parking lot of the school. Cutting classes. Grade 4 pa lang ako ay alam ko na magcut.
"My friends told me that I'm ugly!" I said and pouted my lips.
"Tss. Don't mind them, they're just intimidated." Tyrence
I look at Tyrence and smiled.
"So you're saying I'm beautiful?" Me
He then chuckled and stood up.
"No."
Bigla naman akong nalungkot. I thought Tyrence finds me pretty... awww :(
"You're way more than beautiful RiRi." sabi niya at nilahad ang kamay niya.
Bigla naman nagiba ang ekspresyon ko at ngumiti na parang abot hanggang tainga. Tinanggap ko naman ang kamay niya at tumayo.
"Thank You, Tyrence."
Hindi ko naman namalayan na tumutulo na pala ang mga luha ko habang naiisip ang mga bagay na iyon. I'm thankful that the memories are coming back to me.
Tyrence....
He's not just my best friend.
He's my first love... He's my prince in shinning armor. My lovely prince charming.
"I need to find you Tyrence."
Bigla naman nawala sa isipan ko si Tyler. I'm running away cause of Tyler right? Pero bakit hindi si Tyler ang naiisip ko? Why Tyrence?
"Tyrence, where are you? I need to find you... I think you're the missing piece that will finally complete me."
"Rien!"
