Never again
"Daddy I want to be a cinderella someday!"
Timothy laughs as he watches old videos of me as a child.
"Stop you shit—" pilit kong inaabot ang camera sakanya at pigilan sya ngunit dinilaan nya lang ako
"Why Cinderella you ashamed of—" sinabunutan ko sya at pilit nya naman akong pinipigilan at hinigit ako sa bewang
As I pulled his hair tighter, he bit my ear and I unintentionally punched him in the maleness part of his body.
"Damn zyrel" namimilipit sya sa sakit dahil sa pagka suntok ko sakanyang ano
I covered my mouth with my palms to hold my laugh. He glares at me and leaps to his feet, ready to chase me.
Dali dali akong bumaba na tumatawa I stopped when I saw sandwich on the table
Liningon ko si Timothy kung nasundan nya ba ako pero nang nakita kong wala ay dahan-Dahan akong lumapit sa pagkain
Before I ate the delectable sandwich, I smirked.
Dahan-dahan kong binuksan ang sandwich ng nabitawan ko ito dahil sa pagkagulat.
As I turned around, I saw an idiotic smile.
"How could you!" I yell at him, punching his biceps, "that's so yummy!" He simply laughs and makes a sneering face at me.
He's my dependable friend in this toxic world; he's been there for me when no one else will; he's been there when my parents abandoned me for their fucking business; he's always been there for me.
Not until he was courting a girl and almost forgot about me, forgot about my feelings, totally forgot that i am existing.
"Tim!" Excited to go near him to show him my certificate.
"I won omy! I won tim!" Yinugyog ko sya sa magkabilang balikat.
I gave him a big smile, but it vanished as soon as I saw his little grin.
"W-what's wrong?" He said nervously.
"It seems like you're not happy." Tipid akong ngumiti at malungkot na tumingin sa kanya.
Kitang kita ko ang pagka gulat nya at agad na hinawakan ang siko ko.
"W-hat Zyrel.. no-"
Tumawa ako at umiling. "I'm just kidding. Just buy me uh the weird circle thing? Uh-. The one you gave me yesterday?"
He chuckled and pinched my cheeks. "it's calamares"
I covered my mouth and laugh dahil sa kahihiyan. Natawa narin sya sa aking reaksyon at umiling.
I smiled and pulled him out of the campus.
I felt sad but I keep smiling sya nalang ang kaibigan ko and the one who believes in me
Unti-unti kong tinago sa bag ko ang certificate and pretend that it didn't hurt me
Naramdaman kong nakatitig sya saakin kaya tinignan ko rin sya
Ang kanyang madidilim na mata ay namumungay na ngayon, i smiled to assure him that I'm fine and looked away
This is not my bestfriend anymore
This is not timothy that I know
We sat at the usual bench kung saan wala masyadong tao
"Here tim!" pinunasan ko ang uupuan namin at binalingan sya, he's busy looking and typing at his phone so I just sit and quietly eat my food.
