Chapter 2

"Wait!" Sigaw ko at hinabol siya

Geez! He walks really fast. I was out of breath when I finally caught up with him. Hinawakan ko ulit ang braso niya. Ito na ang bagong gusto ko, yong nahahawakan ang braso niya. Ang sarap panggigilan. Ilang beses kaya siya nagwo-work out?

He raised a brow and his gaze dropped down to my hand "Yes?"

I bit my lower lip and let go of his arm "You said, you're not mad? And whatever happened in the bathroom was nothing?"

He shrugged his shoulders "Yea, no biggie" then he started walking again

I tried to keep my pace. C'mon Liza, it's your time to shine! Huwag pakeme-keme. Kembot lang ng kembot!

Nilakihan ko din ang hakbang ko. Bakit ba kasi hindi ako nabiyayaan ng mahabang legs?

"So, if it's nothing to you. Maybe we can be friends?" I gave him my sweetest smile "Wala naman sigurong masama kung maging magkaibigan tayo, di ba?"

He stopped walking and faced me "Are you kidding?"

"Of course not. I want us to be friends. Siguro hindi maganda 'yong una nating pagkikita, but we can still make good memories as friends, right?" I smiled from ear to ear

"The maximum number of my friends already exceeded. Sorry, I don't have space for you" he started walking again

What the hell?! "What are you? Facebook? You have maximum limit number of friends?" I should start working out so I can keep up with him. I'm tired. My legs are tired.

Hindi na niya ako inimik. Basta sinusundan ko lang siya. Hanggang sa tumigil siya at akma na sanang papasok sa isang classroom, ngunit pinigilan ko siya.

"Ba't ba ang kulit mo?" Inis niyang tanong

"I just want to make friends" I pouted

"God. Give me patience" he whispered

"Please? Ano bang masama? Nakikipagkaibigan lang naman ako?" I pouted even more

I heard him sighed and looked at me "Fine. Bahala ka" he scowled

"Yay! Thanks!" Nagliwanag ang mundo ko.

I bit the inside of my cheeks and hugged him.

Kumalas ako ng yakap pagkatapos ay tumakbo "Bye! Thank you" I waved at him while running. I saw him smiled a little while shaking his head.

I couldn't contain my happiness. Nakabungisngis ako habang ngalalakad.

"Hi... Hello" bati ko pa sa mga nadadaanan kong mga estudyante sabay ngiti ng malapad

I hugged myself "Oh my, God!" I whispered. My cheeks turned crimson red "I just hugged Marvin Alfaro. I can't believe I did that! And he smiled. He freaking smiled because of me"

Ganadong-ganado ako habang nasa klase. Hindi lang 'yon, nagpaparticipate pa ako.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Bulong sa akin ng pinsan kong si Hazel

I gave her the biggest smile in the whole wide world "Later"

Umiling siya "Kailangan ka na yata naming ilagay sa psych ward"

"Huh?" Napakunot ako ng noo

"Kasi nababaliw ka na. You're smiling with no reason?" Her index finger made a circular motion in front of her ear then she pointed her finger at me "Crazy"

"Huwag ka ngang bitter diyan. Masaya ako eh. Sobrang saya" niyakap ko ang sarili ko

Natatawang napailing na lang ang pinsan ko dahil sa inasta ko.
