Chapter Five

-Aleeyah's P.O.V'

"Weeeeee~!" sigaw ko sa slide.

Andito na kami ni Andrew sa park at nagfe-feeling bata. Hindi naman siguro masama iyon paminsan minsan.

"Hey A! Check this out!"  Tumingin ako sa direksyon ng sigaw ni Drew.

My gaze caught him fooling around at the monkey bars. 

"You're showing off aren't you?" taas-kilay kong tanong. Hindi lang pala 'fooling around' ang ginagawa niya. May mga tricks tricks pa.

"No I'm not. I'm just simply demonstrating one of my God-given talents." he grinned.

God-given talent? One of them? Yeah right. God-given talents are not  those talents that you risk your life for. Baliw talaga itong Andrew na 'to.

"Careful, show-off." hindi siya nakikinig sa mga sinasabi ko at patuloy pa rin sa pagmamayabang ng so called 'God-given' talent  niya.

Okay. Talent nga siguro. Ang galing niya kasi dun sa mga ginagawa niyang mga pag lambitin at pag ikot sa monkey bars. Hindi ko tuloy namalayan na nakangiti ako. 

"Andrew! I said be careful!" pangalawang saway ko na pero wala pa rin. Aba'y makulit ito ah? Baka gusto niyang ako mismo mag hulog sa kanya.

 "Oh come on. Enough showing off. " 

"Not unless you say that I'm talented."

Baliw ba siya? 

"In your dreams you monkey. Now get down from there." First day of being best friends ganyan na ko agad. Ang feeling close ko 'no?

"Nah." nakalambitin siyang patiwarik na parang paniki. Yung mga paa niya lang ang nakasabit sa bars.

"Are you trying to be a bat?" I asked amused.

"No! I'm trying to be spiderman here. Don't ruin my vibe miss I-have-no-talent." sabi niyang may nakaka asar na ngiti. 

Me? No talent? Ugh. No Aleeyah. Nang aasar lang siya. 

"So you're Peter Parker? Oh wow. Am I supposed to be Mary jane or what?" I told him with my voice full of sarcasm.

 "Sure." he said with a wink. Gino-good time ba ko nitong monkey na 'to?

"Stop winking before I poke your eyeballs out with a fork." Pero syempre, I can't do that. And I won't.

"Sheesh A. Why so grum- Ouch!" humagalakpak ako ng tawa nang bumagsak siya sa monkey bars. 

"Oh-haha- my gosh are you-haha- alright?" tanong ko habang tumatawa. Napahawak ako sa tiyan ko kakatawa.

"Ya think?" Pilosopong sabi nito. 

"Serves you right from showing off." I smirked.

"Yeah right. If I've known, you're just jealous of my talent." 

Me? Jealous? Of his talents? 

"Are you nuts?" 

"No I'm human."

"Ha-ha. Really funny."

"I know. I'm hilarious." 

 "Yeah right. Now let's go. I see a some scars on your face. Let's treat those."

Mukang nadisgrasya pa siya ng dahil sa exhibition niya.

-

"Ouch!"

"Stay still, okay?" I scolded him. Paano ba namang di aaray kung napaka likot. 

He just nodded and followed. Buti naman. Kung di siya titigil baka buhusan ko yung mga sugat niya ng alchohol.

"Um..A?" he asked with hesitation evident in his voice.

"Yep?" I asked still busy cleaning his wound.

"I uh.."

Wonder what's his problem?

Tinignan ko siya. Magka-level lang kami dahil nga nililinis ko yung sugat niya.

Hindi kami nagsasalita. I shifted my gaze to his eyes, those beautiful green eyes. Why can't I have green eyes?

"You're more beautiful,  A." He told me with a sincere smile.

I feel my cheeks heating up. God no.

"Someone's blushing.." he told me in a teasing tone.

"Well ho told you to make me blu
