Unconsciously, kumunot ang noo ko.

I cursed on my head and on mouth, "wtf". 'Di ko alam kung seryoso ba ang isang 'to o ano. This Peter Kavinsky- yeah I know it's a dummy account, has been chatting me 3 weeks straight already! And yes, kahapon ko lang naisipang sundin ang advise ni Cassie na replyan ko daw, wag naman daw seen para maiba. She even said that the guy is persistent to even make a dummy account with Noah's character name in To all the Boys I Loved Before dahil daw most probably alam niyang crush na crush ko si Peter K. He is such a creep!

  

"I told you Cass, he's such a creep!" Alam kong ilang beses ko nang nasabi ang linyang 'to but these 4 words is how I see him. Pinakita ko kay Cassie ang mga chat niya sakin kagabi, while walking in the hallway and I never felt this paranoid. Baka nasa likod lang pala si Peter guy, sneaking.

"My gosh Jam ha, 2019 na po. Di na uso mga stalkers." She rolled her eyes as a mock. Nakakainis!

"Eh bakit halos lahat alam niya sakin? Bakit alam niya yung about sa parents ko? Yung favorite color ko! Yung favorite food ko! Yung mga music taste ko alam niya rin, pati yung address ko!" It hit me. Lalo akong kinabahan.

"Oh my gosh, alam niya ang address ko!" I probably said it too loud to make other students turn their eyes on us, "sorry" came out from my mouth automatically.

"Wag mag-overthink, friend ha. What if you meet him? Para naman malaman mo kung sino ba talaga siya? To, you know, end your paranoia."

"Nakakatakot kaya. Baka pati schedule ng klase ko alam niya din. Di ko sinabing mala-FBI 'tong si Peter guy ha, pero parang ganon na nga."

Cassie answered with a chuckle.

A guy coughed from behind and when we turned, I feel them again. The horses are running inside me and I know my heart is just too loud impossibly not to be heard by the guy I've been avoiding all these years. I just looked down for I know I will melt if I look at him.

"Excuse me." His voice was just too much for my fragile heart to handle. Bakit ang lalim? Kasing lalim ng pagtingin ko sa kanya.

Cassie gave way and he walked pass us.       

"Uy Jamisha, okay ka lang? Namumutla ka oh." At tinawanan niya lang ako.

"Cass, nababaliw na ata ako."

I stared at his back as he walk away. Trevor, the guy in the middle of the rain. Siya kaya, naalala niya rin ba ako? Well, malamang sa malamang hindi kasi: 1) that was years ago and 2) I don’t look at him everytime we bump with each other around the university.

"Okay lang yan friend. Kahit baliw ka, tanggap kita. Bat kasi ang loyal mo. Kala mo naman alam niya na may gusto ka sa kanya eversince."

Tama nga si Cassie. I know I’m so silly for liking this only one guy for such a very long time without him knowing and a coward to even look at him.
