Chapter 7 "BrokenHearts"

A dress or something casual? Ewan ko kung bakit pinaglalaanan ko ito ng time. Pupunta lang naman ako sa Park kasama si Luke. No big deal.

shit! no big deal? Crush ko si Luke! Ang gwapo talaga eh!

Kyle stop it! It's not like he'd like you -.- Excited lang ako kasi almost two weeks kaming hindi nagkita. Alam mo yun, yung tipong namiss mo siya kahit once pa lamang kayo nagkita?

I decided on wearing a simple yellow sundress just reaching above my knees. Hindi ko kailangan magbalot kasi summer naman dito. Ang hair ko naman naka braid. No make-up dahil naiirita yung skin ko. Sinuot ko yung doll shoes na binili sa akin ni mom and had cute bracelets on my wrist.

Yep, I'm ready.

"So, how are you doing?" said Luke. Nagstroll stroll lang kami sa park. Usual cliche thing sa books.

"Great. Met new friends. Got comfy. Being in a different country is hard" sabi ko. Totoo naman. Mahirap talaga. Naninibago pa kasi ako sa lifestyle dito. Medyo balot ang pananamit kasi cold ang weather most of the time.

"I know how you feel. I wasn't really born here and we moved when I'm 8 years old. Really hard."

hindi ko inakalang d pala siya pinanganak dito. Pero may british accent siya. Hindi ko magets. Napansin niya siguro ang confused reaction ko.

"You're wondering why I have an accent? It's because we are really British. I talk like this even back in the US. Weird huh?" Tumawa siya. Nagmelt akoo ang gwapo niya talaga :">

Nag nod ako and nag smile but other than that, naglalakad lang kami. Nothing to do than catch up and chat.

"Why aren't you wearing glasses and braces? Last time I saw you which was just two weeks ago you were still wearing them." tanong niya. Akala ko hindi niya napansin. Kyle, tanga ka talaga paano niya hindi mapansin yun? halatang halata masyado!

"I had them off yesterday. And my glasses? I can see without them. Just can't read small printed words." explain ko. I decided kasi not to bring my glasses. Hindi naman ganyan kasira ang mata ko. No need.

"oh" lang ang reply ni Luke. Small talk ulit. Not like I'm complaining. I don't mind silence.

"Luke!" there was a manly voice calling from behind. We both looked back and saw a boy. He's about nineteen or twenty if i am not mistaken.

"Hey Liam! What are you doing here? I thought you're back in Wolverhampton" sabi ni Luke dun kay Liam. Familiar face. Liam. Liam. One Direction Liam? oh that Liam.

"I was. Just got back." sagot niya. Then he turned to me. "Who's this pretty lady?"

pretty lady my ass.

"I'm Kyle." yun lang sagot ko. I don't mind being called pretty but I do mind being eyed. Douche

"Sorry for staring. I just.. you look oddly familiar." ahh kaya pala. Wrong idea of him.

"You too." at kahit alam kong siya si Liam sa One Direction, hindi ko sinabi yun. Weird eh

nag smile lang din siya. Really? whats with people smiling like that? Parang may happiness or confusion. Nacoconfused din tuloy ako.

"Kyle.. wait are you and Kyle who Harry talks about the same? He mentioned something about a Kyle girl. Wait no. He said that Kyle had braces and glasses. Nope you're not her. clearly" natawa ako sa expression niya. Parang gina contradict niya ang self niya. Funny lang.
