Our frontal lobe is responsible for our emotions. That's a thing I learned from our science class back when I was in elementary.
"Is this lobe?" someone said from the other line.
"who is this?" I asked. Kahit naman alam kong siya yung nasa kabilang line, I still asked him.
"Si Giean." dugdug. dugdug. Wow I guess my Frontal lobe is working, nice job brain. My emotions are overflowing right now and I don't know how to control it.
"yes?" I replied coldly. Nina calm yourself down. Please. Now is not the time to be using your Frontal lobe. You might mess up big time sinasabi ko sayo.
"I just want to ask, since magkaklase kayo since Grade 4, baka may number ka niya?" He said. I can feel the excitement in his voice. Talagang sakin ka pa nagtanong ha.
"sure, I'm gonna text you the number." And I ended the call.
This sucks, big time. Akala ko pa naman maling akala ako, tamang hinala pala. He likes Bea. I texted him the number and I went down stairs.
"kamusta first day?" tanong agad ni mommy.
"I met someone." I said plainly.Tinatype ko ngayon ang number ni Bea and I'm going to send it to Giean. Bwiset na buhay to. Magiging tulay pa nga ata ako.
"First day curse yan nak. The guy who you liked on the first day, aabot yan hanggang graduation niyo nako." pang-aasar ni mommy.
"Naman eh. Wag naman po sana hahaha." I laughed awkwardly. Nakakatakot naman yun, ayoko na nga agad sakaniya eh. Tinatry ko na agad ayawan.
Today was good. I think? Kinuha ko agad yung diary ko para isulat ang bawat detalye ng nangyari ngayong araw. I was smiling from eye to eye when I was describing on how I saw Giean. And this is not right, erase. I hope bukas, hindi na gagana tong frontal lobe ko.
I was on my way to our classroom pero nakita ko na agad sila. They were laughing together and mukhang sabay sila pumasok. There goes my frontal lobe again. I want to attack Bea. Seriously.
"Nina! Thank you nga pala for giving me her number ha?" sabi ni Giean at ginulo niya buhok ko, I just smiled at him. Damn what is this weird feeling? bakit ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko at BAKIT PARANG AYOKO NA AYUSIN BUHOK KO?
"Tara na Giean?" singit ni Bea. She looked at me and smiled na para bang sinasabi niyang "oh look I got the boy you like" na nakapagpairita sakin. At umalis na nga sila.
Naglakad ako ng padabog papunta sa room naming, aga-aga nambubuwiset yung dalawang yun.
"NINNAAAAAA!"
