Labyrinth of Us

The Other Side

Lake's Point of View

I can still remember the first time I met Claire

She was with Shane but they're really different, like two opposite poles.

Shane was bubbly while she was so serious, but as time passed by, she started loosing up, nakikisakay na siya sa mga pangungulit ko sa kanya

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ko siya laging kinukulit, gusto ko lang siguro talaga yung mukha niya kapag naaasar siya.

Sa kanilang tatlo ni Steph, Shane at Claire, siya ang pinaka naging malapit sa akin. Si Shane kasi laging kasama si Eros samantalang si Steph naman laging busy kaya madalas ay kaming dalawa ni Claire ang naiiwan

Hindi naman ako nagrereklamo dun kasi sa totoo lang gusto ko nga kapag kaming dalawa lang

I really enjoyed talking to her.

I wouldn't say that I knew from the start that I will fall for her because I didn't

What I have for her at first was just platonic feelings, she was just my friend

But then I woke up one day and then I felt something has changed and before I knew it, I was already falling inlove, deeply.

I like to see her everyday

To see her smile

To be the reason that she smile

I want to hear her laugh

I fell for her slowly but irrevocably

At weird man pakinggan pero gusto ko kapag inuutusan niya akong bitbitin yung gamit niya, pakiramdam ko kasi kailangan niya ako kapag ganun.

I am really going crazy for her

"Bilisan mo Eros" tinapik ko ang balikat ni Eros para mas bilisan niya yung pagligpit niya ng gamit niya

"Bakit ka ba nagmamadali? Hindi pa tapos ang klase nila Shane kaya hindi pa rin tayo makakapunta kay Claire" pang-aasar niya sa akin kaya binigyan ko siya ng middle finger

Sira ulo yun, akala niya natutuwa ako kapag inaasar niya ako kay Claire, sila ni Shane, hindi nila alam kinakabahan ako kasi baka makahalata si Claire na may gusto ako sa kanya. Unpredictable pa naman yun minsan, baka iwasan lang ako edi mas lalo akong nalugi

"Bahala kayo, mauna nalang ako" sinukbit ko ang bag sa balikat ko at naglakad na palabas

Magtatagal pa kung hihintayin ko sila, kanina ko pa nga gustong makita si Claire

"Pupunta pa ba kami o hahayaan nalang namin kayo? Baka magdate pa kayo" pahabol niya sigaw sa akin pagtapos tumawa pa siya

Baliw talaga yun, hindi ko alam kung bakit siya nagustuhan ni Shane, sabagay parehas naman silang may sapak sa utak.

Napangisi nalang ako at napailing. Siguradong kung narinig lang ni Claire na sinabi ko yun ay sasapakin ako nun, ang protective pa naman niya kay Shane. It's one of the things I like about her, she value her friends so much

Nang makarating ako sa classroom nila Claire ay hindi pa tapos yung klase nila kaya naghintay muna ako sa labas

Fashion Design ang course niya and she's really passionate about it-- not to mention that she's also good-- it's one of the things that I like about her.

Most of the time she will give us some of the clothes that she designed and honestly, kulang nalang ipaframe ko lahat ng nireregalo niya sa akin, pero hindi pwede kasi kailangan kong ipakita sa kanya na isinusuot ko kasi baka magtampo
