Fangirl to Fiance

Chapter 24 * Twinkle

Lorilei's POV

Kakatapos lang ng hell week namin. Katatapos lang ng midterms. Friday ngayon. And... walang pasok next week! Pero sobrang busy naman ng Ginger Band. Hay...

Ang alam ko tapos na rin mag exam ang Ginger Band and yes, later 6 pm, lalabas na kaagad ang result. Si Nikki at Ivan na lang ang nageexam ngayon dahil nga sa nagabsent sila last Monday. Si Ace, Aidan at Ken, nasa music room yata?

Naglalalakad ako dito sa campus nung mapatingin ako sa taas ng building. Memories... Nakasaltak ang earphone ko sa tenga ko at nagpapatugtog. I put it in a shuffle mode. Kahit may tumutugtog parang di ito pumapasok sa isip ko. Lutang ako. I don't even know why.

Maybe because this is the day we promised to be bestfriends.

Wala naman akong makasama kasi nga, wala akong friends dito. Lahat sila takot sakin and it's bullshit.

Di ko napansin na nadala pala ako ng aking mga paa sa lugar na ito.

Sa itaas ng buliding.

Ang laki ng pinagbago ng place na to. I still remember when I saw Nikki here crying because our classmates threw her some flour.

Actually I was shocked when I followed those footsteps, I'm very nervous that for the first damn time ay babalik ako sa lugar na iyon. Wag lang niya malaman laman. Pero ang nilagay ko na lang sa isip ko, 'No Lei. 3 years has passed. You already moved on.' . Yan ang mga katagang paulit ulit kong sinasabi sa isip ko.

"Ang ganda." sabi ko. Puro kasi bulaklak dito. Naging mini garden siya. Sino kayang nagmemaintain nito? Ang sabi sa school, inabandona na to. Yes of course. Yun ang sabi ko kay Papa. Never let anyone trespass my place. Siguro pinaaayos to lagi ni Papa. Second time ko nang pumunta dito. I picked a flower and put it at the back of my ear.

He used to do that before.

Ugh! I hate myself! I've moved on already! Bakit ko pa ba siya iniisip?

(Playing on her earphone: Bestfriends by Jason Chen. Listen to it at the multimedia. It's a nice song. Acoustic version.)

Do you remember when I said I'd always be there?
Ever since we were ten, baby.
When we were out on the playground playing pretend,
I didn't know it back then.

B-bakit ito ang nagplay? I gave a heavy but long sigh. I sat at the edge of the rooftop. May upuan kasi sa corner.

Yeah. Ang galing naman ng timing. Bestfriends. Ang masaklap pa, version ni Ace.

Yeah. He had this song back then. Nalaman ko lang yun kay Ate Mag. Mga 2 years na siguro ako sa States nun nung nagkaroon siya ng solo song sa album nila. Ate Mag said that it is dedicated for me but I don't believe it.

Now I realize you were the only one,
It's never too late to show it.
Grow old together,
Have feelings we had before,
Back when we were so innocent.

May mga taksil na luhang tumakas sa mga mata ko. I promised myself that I will never ever cry anymore because of that bastard!

I pray for all your love,
girl our love is so unreal,
I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, somebody pinch me.
This is something like a movie,
And I don't know how it ends girl,
But I fell in love with my best friend,
I fell in love with my best friend,
I fell in love with my best friend.
