Everything About You

Chapter 16

I ignored Zky and Farah as long as I can.

Tinuon ko ang pansin sa pagpapractice para sa nalalapit na laro namin. Hindi ko na rin sinasagot ang mga text niya at iniiwasan ko din kahit tingnan lang sya.

Hindi manlang namin naramdamang idinaos ang buwan ng wika dahil masyado kaming abala sa pagte-training.

From: Zky Muller
Are you mad?

I sighed heavily after reading his text. He notice it probably because I am clearly ignoring him and his presence too.

From: Zky Muller
I'm sorry did I do something wrong?

He texted again after few minutes. I was so tempted to reply but I manage not to and just ignore it again.

From: Zky Muller
Talk to me, baby please. I miss you.

Saglit akong natigilan sa nabasang text. He missed me? Really? It doesn't seem like it. I was about to type a reply ng may biglang sumigaw sa gilid ko.

"Rafi! Tawag ka!" Sigaw ni Grayson na kasali din sa Basketball.

Agad ko namang pinuntahan ito.

"Sino daw?" Tanong ko kaagad ng makalapit ako.

"Pakilala daw kita sakanila. Crush ka yata." Pagtuturo ni Grayson sa mga 2 lalakeng nakatayo sa gilid.

"Hi! I'm Cloud." He said waving at me as I turn my gaze to him.

"Hello pretty lady, I'm Gavrillo. Gav for short." He offered his hand but I ignored them both.

Di ko sila pinansin at dumiretso kila Jasmine kung saan din nagpapahinga ang ibang players. Nagiwas kaagad ako ng tingin nang makita si Zky at Farah na magkasama.

"Babe can you skip your practice? Or kahit maaga ka nalang? Please please. I want you to come with me." Narinig kong pangungumbinsi ni Farah sa kay Zky.

"No Farah I'll be going somewhere later. I can't accompany you. Sa iba ka nalang muna magpasama." Malamig ang boses na sagot nito.

"Nakakairita na yung babaeng un. Bakit ba laging andito eh di naman sya kasali sa nagte-training." Micah blurted out with a bit of annoyance in her.

"Kaya nga. Ang arte pa jusko! Mainitan lang nang kaunti eh!" Iritadong dagdag ni Jelly.

"She's here probably because of Zky. And I don't like them together. They don't actually fit." Jasmine butt-in in the conversation.

"Sila ba? Ano bang nagustuhan ni Zky jan? Walang kasing arte di rin kagandagan puro pa make up." Pagpapatuloy ni Micah sa usapan.

"Di naman yata sila. Hinahayaan lang siguro ni Zky but I don't see some signs na may gusto ito kay Farah." Pagsagot ni Jelly.

"I actually agree." Pagsangayon ni Jasmine sa kanya.

Nanatili naman akong walang kibo at nakikinig lang sa usapan nila. Bigla namang may nagabot ng bottle of water sa harap ko.

Sinundan ko ang pinagmulan ng braso only to find the Cloud guy.

"You look thirsty." He said as he saw me looking at him.

Kinuha ko ito at uminom.

"Wala manlang thank you?" Natatawang pangaasar ni Cloud sakin.

I glared at him.

"That's indirect kiss." He spoke looking straight to the court.

I ignored him again even if I wanted to react and puke because of what he just said.

He laughed making his eyes smaller than the usual. "You're cute." He said after laughing.

I glared at him. Pissed that he is so kulit.

"I like you." He said while staring intently at me.

I looked away and turn my gaze to the other way so he won't see that my cheeks just turned red.

Why is he so blunt? And like me? Agad?

Tumayo ako, iniwan ang bote ng tubig sa tabi nya at nakilaro nadin sakila Jasmine to avoid him.

I heared Zky cleared his throat so I turned to him and give him a questioning look.

"Your shoe lace is untied." He said looking down on my feet.

I was about to go down to tie it when he suddenly kneel in front of me and tied it. I stiffened at his move.

Even his simple gestures makes my heart beats faster. Hindi ito kumakalma lalo na at ganitong magkalapit kaming dalawa. Here we go again Rafi. What happened to "iiwasan ko na sya promise" mo?

He stand up after making sure that both my shoe lace are tied well.

He look straight into my eyes. "Take care." He wispehered. I avoided his stare and decided to walk my way again to the court ng biglang hawakan nya ang palapulsuhan ko at hinila ako pabalik sa kanya.

Nagulat man ay agad naman akong nakabawi at tiningnan sya nang nagtataka.

"Please don't avoid me, its killing me." He said. Sadness and longing is visible in his eyes.

Napatitig ako sakanya pagkatapos. I'm sorry, I miss you too. Pero hindi ko iyon sinabi at nanatili lang na nakatingin sa kanya.

Agad kong hinila pabalik ang kamay ko at tinalikuran sya ng maalala si Farah.

You only see me when Farah's not around. Zky, why are you so unfair?
