//Problema//
3rd and last day of examinations.
"Si Aaron? Siya talaga yung crush mo?" Paulit-ulit-ulit-ULIT na tanong ni Timothy. Kahapon niya pa ko binibwisit sa tanong na nyan. Napagod na rin ako sa kasasagot kaya I chose to stay silent inspite of being SO MUCH IRRITATED.
Hindi ko siya ulit sinagot. Bahala siya sa buhay niya.
Narinig ko naman ang buntong-hininga niya. Tapos biglang bubulong ng,
"Bakit siya?" *insert nanghihinayang na tono.*
I sighed, too. Binitawan ko ang hawak kong hand outs at hinarap siya. "Once again please listen Ian Timothy Ocampo.." Seryoso kong sabi. "This is the last time.. I don't have a crush on Aaron! Please, shut the topic off."
"Nagsink in na naman sa utak ko." He mumbled. Kumunot ang noo ko. "I was just.. curious. K-kung.. sino nga ba ang crush mo."
I smirked. "Why so intrigued?" Pang-aasar ko.
Iniwas niya ang tingin niya at bumulong, "nang malaman ko kung sino ang karibal ko.."
Napakurap ako ng maraming beses. Is it just my imagination or he really did said that?! "W-what?"
Kunot noo niya akong hinarap na parang nagtataka sa tanong ko. "Nang malaman ko kung mabait ba at mapagkakatiwalaan."
"Ah."
I faced my handouts once again. Pero parang lumilipad lang lahat ng letters. My mind is somewhere else. Ugh. I can't concentrate! I decided to just sleep it off. Our exam for today is just a minor subject. Bahala na.

Natapos ang exams namin at we also decided na magdinner sa malapit na mall. Hihintayin pa namin sina Fiona at Light. May last exam pa kasi sila mamaya.
"Thank God exam's over!" I exclaimed. As usual, kasama ko si Timothy, pati na rin si Jolina, Zia at Jeanie.
Sabay sabay silang tumikhim. Nakunot ang noo ko at nginuso naman ni Timothy si Aaron na makakasalubong namin. "As if I care.." Bulong ko.
"Hi Miks." Bati niya sabay ngiti. Ever since ng insidenteng yun, lagi na niya kong binabati at nginingitian. Feeling..
Tumigil ako sa paglalakad. Napatigil din sina Jolina.
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. "I don't have a crush on you. I don't even like you. I'm not being defensive here. I'm explaining my side." Dire-direcho kong sabi.
Ayokong pagdudahan nila ako. I don't even want them to think that I like or even liked this guy. He's so vain and conceited. He's annoying and irritating. Everything I hate, is in him. Now tell me, how could I like him?
"Harsh" bulong ni Jeanie which, by the way, I ignored.
Nagulat ako na imbes na masaktan or sumimangot or magalit, ngumiti pa siya na parang na-aamuse sya sakin. Weirdo.
He stepped an inch closer.
"I have a crush on you. I like you. I'm not being a jerk here. I'm also explaining my side." Dire-direcho niya ring sabi bago naglakad palayo.
God knows how much I tried not to flinch because of what he said.
"Woah." Si Jeanie ang unang nakarecover.
