Fragile Heart

Chapter Fourteen

Dumaan ang dalawang lingo nang huling kami nagusap ni Isaac. He didn't bother me anymore since then. No effort or any attempt of communication. It was great at first pero it was difficult especially having him as my seatmate. Nakamiss pala ang best friend ko.

Dalawang lingo na din ako nililigawan ni Dylan. The day na niyaya niya akong makipag dinner sakanya is the day he ask me kung pwede ba daw niya akong ligawan. Why would I say no? Dylan has been very sweet and caring. Paminsan nga ay nakakalimutan ko na may Isaac pala sa puso ko. Maybe its a good sign that I'm getting over him. That's what I wanted.

Hindi na pumupunta sa bahay si Isaac, habang si Dylan naman ang lagi nasa bahay kung walang practice. Masaya naman ang parents ko about Dylan. But they keep on telling me that sana si Isaac nalang ang lumiligaw saakin. Sana nga eh. But he's not.

Kapag sa klase naman ay awkard ang lahat kapag magkatabi kaming dalawa ni Isaac. Siguro napansin nila that there's something wrong with us two. Maybe its for the best. Marg and Eunice has been there for me. Sinabi ko sakanila ang nangyari kaya sakanila na ako lagi sumasama pag lunch even though ibang section sila.

"Hi babes, can we sit with you?" Marvin appeared in front of our lunch table carrying a plate of food. He gave us an awkward smile. I wonder why. I look at the person behind him. I immediately look away. Marg and Eunice awkwardly move to the side to give Marvin and his friend space.

"Louise is there, so I'm gonna go to her."  They just nod and he went to where Louise was. Marvin lets out a deep sigh and annoyingly tapped my shoulder.

"Stop it." I fired at them. He look at me with deceiving eyes.

"Ano kayo elementary? Ano ba kasi pinagaawayan niyo? Lollipop?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"But seriously. Gusto ko magsasama tayo bago mag graduate tapos andyan kayo nagaagawan ng barbie." Hinampas ni Marg si Marvin sa ulo. He held his head and gave her an evil eye.

Marvin doesn't know about it, he just know that we fought but maybe he needs to know a little. Eunice did the honor of telling him the details and she did it without sugar coating anything.

"So, you like him? Haha! Dude you like Isaac? Tanga ka ba?" Marvin fired out. Nakakunot ang muka niya while stuffing his mouth with food. I gave him a glare. Sino bang may kasalanan!

"Kaninong idea kaya ligawan ako para sa isang position sa team?" I dissed him out and he gave me a smile saying sorry. We continued talking about things and plans about after high school then I realize. We were all parting ways. Hindi na kami masamasama in college. Kahit gusto ko, we all have our own lives and I can't tell them not to case their own dream. But with Isaac, its different. I just wanted him to acknowledge that I was part of his life. or maybe something inside me wants him to like me.

We always have times were we cross each other's path outside the room. Sinasabihan ko sarili ko na wag siyang pansinin pero nasasaktan ako pag siya ang hindi ako pinapansin. It sucks. Sometimes I want to forget why I'm mad at him and just make amends, and then what? Sometimes I think that I'm being naive and childish. Am I?
