"Child"

. . .

"I like you." 

So that's the reason why I feel so weird every time he's around. I have noticed it many times. . . that maybe he have a crush on me, but I still didn't expect that he'll confess. 

"I'm sorry, but I don't like you." I honestly said while looking at Drei.

I was very shock when he told me now that he likes me. Wala naman ako'ng ginawa para magustuhan niya. He's just a classmate and maybe a friend for me. Ngunit sa palagay ko ay malabo na iyo'ng mangyari dahil sa pag-amin niya ngayon.

Some friendships can be ruined just because of a feeling. That's why it is better to keep it to yourself. 

"But-" I didn't let him finish his words.

"Ibabalik ko na lang yung mga stuff toys." I said.

Maybe that's the reason why he confessed. I looked away when I saw his sadness. I can't like him back because someone's already caught my attention.

Yes, I do date with some random guys, but it doesn't mean that I like them. I just wanted to have fun and avert my attention. I felt so jealous every time I saw Marco and May'. So I need to do something for myself. I need to distract myself.

"Just give me a chance. . ." pag-pupumilit pa niya. I can't give him a chance.

"Don't force yourself to me," I said.

I feel so irritated when he wanted me to give him a chance but I don't really like him! Bakit hindi niya maisip 'yon? Matalino naman siya e'!

You can't force someone to like you back! I gritted my teeth and then walk away. Bahala siya kung hindi niya matanggap na hindi ko siya type, it's not my problem anymore.

Totoo naman hindi dapat pinipilit kapag sinabi sa iyo ng tao na hindi ka niya gusto. Hindi mo dapat ipilit ang sarili mo sa akin dahil wala ka namang mapapala. Si Marco ang gusto ko. 

I thought our classmates wouldn't have any idea about what Drei told me, but I was wrong!

"Hie! Crush ka daw ni Drei!" that's what Abby's greeted me the next day when Drei confessed to me.

Shit!

"What?" naiinis na sabi ko.

"Duh! Tanghali ka na kasi, kalat na dito na crush ka nya!" May' said.

"Di ka ba nagbabasa ng groupchat?" Erika asked.

"Hindi, I was busy yesterday," I said while shaking my head.

Pagkatapos kasi naming mang-galing sa sunstar kahapon ay naisipan ko'ng maglinis ng dorm. Nalimutan ko rin naman kaagad ang sinabi ni Drei sa akin at ngayon ko lang ulit naalala dahil kay Abby. 

"Crush mo din?" Abby teased me while smiling like an idiot!

"No!" maarteng saad ko.

It feels so weird just to think that I also like Drei. Ganito pala ang feeling kapag may inaasar sayo na hindi mo naman gusto. 

Drei is handsome. He is smart, magaling siya sa programming subject namin. Pero hindi ko talaga siya gusto. Kung friend siguro okay pa pero as a lover? As a flirt? Hindi talaga. 

"Arte nito! Pogi kaya ni Drei!" Yeah but he's weird. Umirap ako kay Erika, kung gusto nila ay 'di kanila na lang.

"Iyo nalang." I simply said.

"E' ikaw nga ang gusto." Pang-aasar ulit ni Abby.

"I don't like him, so please stop teasing me." Kinikilabutan ako sa mga sinasabi nila. Now I know what May' feel everytime na inaasar namin siya kay Marco. Magaling lang siyang magdala at magpanggap pero feel ko ganito rin ang nararamdaman niya.
