[✔] BOOK I : The Love Cycle

chapter 42 - neighbour

Sunny's POV

"So... " I sipped on my coffee and cleared my throat, "When?"

"Since I knew about Cara's been your friend. I just find you attractive hanggang sa naging crush na talaga kita. Cara knew about it also" sabi nya.

I don't know how to respond like.. Well marami nang nagconfess sakin pero this time, it's too awkward. Especially it's from Dizon. The top student in our school. The smartest.... Also, he's my friend. We've been hanging out together tapos ngayon malalaman kong crush nya pala ako. Well nakakaflutter pero I should thanked him nalang. LOOOOL.

"I'm sorry I haven't tell you about this Mint pero kami na ni Rain. I should have tell you nga eh, you know, you're my friend and friends should know secrets together. P-Pero you suddenly confessed" I chuckled awkwardly kaya napatakip sya ng mukha.

"Okay I'm sorry too. I'm so embarassed right now. I just thought na nireject ka ni Rain and assumed na meron akong pag-asa. Then turns out to be like this. Dafuq, I should have known. Napakamalas ko talaga sa lovelife" tumawa sya ng mahina pero nakatakip parin ang bibig nya.

"Hey you're not. You're good-looking, smart, gentleman, kind and also hot —in my point of view. If I were some of those girls na nasa paligid natin, baka gagawa na ako ng move eh. I'm not saying this to cheer you up, it's really the fact Mint. You're a beautiful person" hinawakan ko ang pisngi nya and I felt his dimples on my palm. It's so cute.

"Hey, I don't need that but thanks. I'm not regretting confessing to you. You're not like those girls na nagustuhan ko, they rejected me like I'm one of those trashes na randomly nagkagusto sakanila and then ignore me for the rest of their lives." Kwento nya.

"Well they don't deserve someone like you Mint. And I bet they regret it now. Well actually ganun din naman ako. Just like Snow, pinagtaboy ko yung tomboy na yun. I don't like her kasi nung una. Pero nah, napunta rin naman sya sa taong itinadhana sakanya. And me too!"

Ngumiti sya at kinagatkagat ang straw ng iced coffee nya. He seems nervous talaga eh.

"Look, I know how it feels to be rejected. Pero siguro iba talaga yung taong para sayo Mint" sabi ko.

"No it's really okay Sunny. I know that" he faked smile.

"Don't worry, irereto kita sa isa sa mga kakilala ko. Name nya Moo!" Sabi ko at tinype ang pangalan ng random kakilala ko sa fb.

"Momo? Twice?" Napatingin ako sakanya at napairap.

"Duh! Hindi! Moo as in, Moo. Call her Moo" sabi ko at kumindat sa screen ng cellphone ko.

(A/n: Moo as in Magandang OtOr. Okay?? Ako yan duh ehem)

"Sunny, it's okay. Hindi rin naman kasi ako desperada magkalovelife eh" napatigil ako sa pagscroll ng newsfeed ko at napatingin sakanya, "Life's a bitch. Ipapatempt ka sa isang bagay, then pagkukunin mo na, di naman magiging sayo. Baliw lang kasi eh, pinapafeel ka na 'sya na ang babaeng para sayo' but turns out to be 'joke lang! trial pa yan!'. Minsan din pag single ka, iisipin mo nalang na 'lovelife? Sows, study first nga kasi' pero yung utak mo nandun sa taong gusto mo. Minsan naman, tinatanong ka, 'bakit wala ka pang girlfriend?' then you'll be like 'i love being single!' pero yung totoo, gusto mo na talagang makahanap ng lovelife. Kahit tudo study ako, minsan, gusto ko rin talaga magkaruon ng kahit panandaliang sarap sa buhay. Not physically tho. Gusto kong magkalovelife tbh. Dahil habang nasa stage of youth ka pa, syempre kailangan mo rin ng isang jowa para makaexperience ka rin na merong nagmamahal sayo, may minamahal ka at may kasama ka. Kasi ang gusto ko lang naman talaga ay makaexperience ng may nagmamahal sakin. Yun lang, then kompleto na achievement ko sa life"
