Second🌹

Yesterday was fucked up! I don't even know why I gave in? Ano 'yun, Isla?! Akala ko ba hindi ka bibigay? I thought you didn't want to see him again? Bakit ganun?

Ugh! I literally hate him! I don't care what Abigail will tell me, I hate him! Period!

"For a rookie, you're one hella kisser, little island."

"You're one hella kisser, little island."

"One hella kisser."

"Stop! Stop it!" Ginulo ko ang buhok ko nang maalala ko na naman ang nangyari kahapon. Damn him!

"Are you okay, Isla?" Biglang tanong si Miss Fuentes. Nagpapapirma kasi ako ng clearance sa kaniya kaya ako nandito sa harapan niya, at sa lahat pa ng panahon kung saan pwedeng pumasok sa isipan ko ang pangyayaring 'yun, ngayon pa talaga nagunita.

"Yes, po. I'm sorry may naaalala lang po kasi ako." I sheepishly smiled at her as I received my clearance after she signed it.

I'm planning on completing every signature today so that I wouldn't have to come back to school tomorrow.

I'm trying to avoid bumping into the guys part of that dare because I never want anything like what happened yesterday, happen again.

That was my freaking first kiss!

I am seventeen years old and yes, I am a virgin, so of course that would be my first kiss! And out of all people I had to lose it to him!

Well maybe it wasn't that bad kasi he's hot naman. If people would ask where I lost my first kiss, I could still probably be proud that it was him and h—Isla naman eh!

Archibald Miller conjures up a mixture of so many unnamed reactions from me and I'm not liking it! Not one bit!

One time I hate him and the next time I praise him, I mean, how the hell can I even do that?!

I'm pretty sure I don't like him, that's a hundred percent certified, but I'm still a girl who knows a fine man when I see one.

Yeah, so maybe I just see him as someone who's hot and good looking, I don't have to like him for me to see that he's attractive, right? I find my friends attractive but I don't like them in any different way as I see them as friends. So that's probably just that.

Why am I even justifying all of that shit? You are better than that, Isla. He's a guy, I'm a girl. I don't like him but he's attractive, in general. Period.

See, that wasn't so hard, was it?

"What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" Napabaling ang atensyon ko sa lalaking biglang sumabay sa paglalakad ko.

Why would a descendant of Adonis approach a girl like me? I mean, I won't deny my graces of genes pero hindi naman pangbinggwit ng lalaki ang hangad nito, unless...

"I'm Claud Valdez, Miller's friend." Just as I thought. He offered his hand for a handshake but I just stared at it and then back to his face.

"No." I walked away. A lot of girls would probably curse me for ignoring such a beautiful embodiment of the male specimen, but to hell with them! Kung sana hindi nauso ang dare na 'yun, sasabihin ko nang ang swerte ko talaga, kaso hindi. Bwiset.

"Hey, wait up." Aba't humabol pa talaga siya!

Hindi ko pinansin ang pagtawag niya at dumiretso sa food court para makipagkita kina Abby, only to realize that it wasn't such a best idea at the moment.

"May sumusunod sa'yo, oh." Ininguso niya ang nasa likuran ko pero binalewala ko 'yon. I forgot how they're all in on this! Kaya of course, once they'll know the guy's purpose, they'd push me right to him!
