Hello From The Other Side

Simula

"Natapos mo na ang assignment mo sa Physics?"

Mabilis akong lumingon nang marinig ko ang boses sa likod ko. Agad akong napangiti nang makita kong si Yeshua iyon.

He was still wearing his wearing his uniform and his backpack on his left shoulder as he approached me. His angelic features are still on point, even after a tiring school day. His dark messy hair enhances his lean physique, dark deep eyes that contradicts the innocent vibe that he gives off, a slightly crooked nose that is close to perfection, and a pale red plump lips that I'd been dying to taste.

Piniling ko ang ulo ko sa naisip ko. You're too young for that, Piper. Studies first. Focus.

Tumikhim ako at sinenyasan siyang umupo sa tabi ko. Naamoy ko ang bango niya nang tumabi siya saakin.

Damn! How can I concentrate when he's this close to me?! Wrong move pa yata na pinatabi ko siya saakin.

"Patapos na. Though, hindi ako sigurado sa mga sagot ko," I faced him. "Mind checking it?"

He gave me his signature lopsided grin. "Sure."

Then he scanned my notebook.

I can't help but to stare at him. He is just too good to be true. We have this mutual understanding between us, that we have feelings for each other but we do not have labels. Yet.

He once asked me if he can court me, but then I answered no. Not because I don't like him, but because of we're still too young for a relationship!

But he knows that he is special to me. As I am to him. That fact is enough for us to stay together. Labels are just labels. What we are feeling for each is more important than that.

Lalo pa at plano ko naman talaga siyang sagutin. On our graduation day, I will make it official. We will be finally official! I will finally say 'I love you' to him!

But then, things doesn't always go according to plan. For he left me. Alone and miserable.
