Shoelace

Chapter I

Liya's POV

It was late in the afternoon when I heard my phone ringing.

"Oh?" I answered lazily.

(Oy, baliw! Samahan mo 'ko nukas,ah!) there was a hint of sadness in his voice. It was Nico,  my bestfriend. (Hey, Liyah? Are you still there?) untag niya nang hindi ako sumagot.

"Yeah. I always keep my word" tinatamad ko pa ring sabi.

(Hey! Bakit parang tinatamad ka atang kausap ako?) kahit di ko nakikita, alam kong sumimangot siya, pero syempre, nagbibiro lang siya.

"Ang drama nito!" U said then kang up the phone. Binagsak  ko ang sarili sa malambot na kama. I look at the ceiling. "If only I could have the right. If only I could express this stupid love that feel for you eversince." I sighed. She knew that he is madly, deeply, passionately, hopelessly (lahat na ng may LY xDD) in love with his girlfriend. U silently wished that U could be in Shane's place. Hindi naman ako inggitera, pero sa kanya, sa higad na 'yon, dun pa ako nainggit Because I know that she has the man I always dreaming on. :(

"Nakatulala ka na naman diyan. Sabi ko naman kasi sayo, wag mo na isipin yung kapwa mo baliw na ex mo,eh!"

"Joke 'yun?"

"Hindi"

"OK." sabi ko. He pinched my cheeks. "Aray ko!" tapos hinampas ko siya ng hawak kong bottled water. Ang sweet namin, noh?

Sinamahan ko siya bumili para sa makating jowa niya. Oo na! I am jealous! *sigh*

"Do you still love him?" he asked and look directly into my  eyes. There was a sad emotion written in his face but it disappeared quickly, then he looked away. She saw Shane, walking towards us.

"Oh, ayan na pala siya. Bye, Nico and Shane. I still have things to do." I said then walked away.

"Huwag mo ng isipin yon!" pahabol ni Nico. Naiinis ako sa kanya! Why can't he notice that I have special feelings for him? And not just a friend's love? 

We are best of friends since when we are young. Sabay silang nagkaisip. I have this feelings for him since I knew the word "love", for goodness' sake! Tears started falling from my eyes. I need to get out of here bago pa ako makita at pagtawanan ng jowawa niya. I look at the ground so no one can see my tears. Sa paglalakad ko, nabunggo ako ng kung sino mang careless na taong yun. Nag-angat ako ng tingin. Ready to fight na rin ako. I was stunned when I breathe the familiar scent of a man.

It was my ex-boyfriend, the man who had given all his best just to make me fall for him. 

"Yah! It's been a long time, huh!" Marco said and gave me an amazing look. He is still the same Marco wgo never failed to make my lips form into smile after I experience being hurt by Nico.  Yes, he knew that I am in love with my besttfriend. Bakit kami nagbreak? Ayaw ko na kasing lokohin sarili ko. Sabi nya, pwede ko naman daw pag-aralan siyang nahalin. Siyempre ako desperada na. Sawa na ko masaktan habang nakikita ko si Nico kasama mga baging girlfriends nya
