MARA's POV
"Kuya Mau, ibili mo ako nung books ah!" paalala ko kay kuya. Pupunta kasi yang Mall, kaya nagpa-bili ako sa kanya ng literature book na kailangan namin sa klase.
"Oo na. Yun lang ba?" He asked so I nodded. Graduating na si kuya Mau as well as kuya Aire, Ate Val, and kuya Yuan, while si kuya Zander is still in his third year, atsaka si Athan at Andrei second year.
"Umayos ka, Mara. Baka may nanliligaw na sayo." I pouted when kuya Mau said that.
Lagi nalang niya akong pina-aalahanan about that which I happen to always shrug off. As if naman may manligaw sakin no.
"Kuya, no one will court me so chill! Besides, wala ngang nakakalapit sakin dahil sa inyo eh." Nakanguso kong sabi, he always tell me about not having suitors yet eh wala ngang nakakalapit sakin dahil ang higpit niya, not that I want any suitors, I don't want any.
"And that's better! Bye!" At umalis na sya. Nag-ayos na ako dahil any minute now ay darating na si Yana para gambalain ak-I mean puntahan ako dahil sabay na kaming papasok.
I sat on the sofa while waiting for Yana. Di ako pumapasok sa school pag hindi sya kasama, well aside from di din kami pinapayagan is that I feel more confident when I'm with her.
"I'm here!" Malalakas na katok ang ginawa ni Yana sa pinto ng unit ni Kuya Mau kaya napa-iling nalang ako. Grabe talaga tong babaeng to.
"Grabe ka sa pinto, ah." I teased. Kawawa naman kasi yung walang kamalay-malay na pinto.
"Really, Mara? Tara na nga Kuya Zander!" Si Kuya Zander pala ang kasama namin ngayon. We are never allowed to leave with out any Samaniego with us. Minsan kasi noon may incident na kinasangkutan ni Ate Valerie. She was kidnapped kaya ganun nalang ang pagiging protective nila. We also have Body Guards around the building though wala na sa school. They own the school, maraming security guards.
"Dito na lang Kuya, Yan, mauna na ako." Paalam ko kay Yana at Kuya Zander.
"Bye!"
Naglalakad ako sa hallway nang mapansin ko na medyo crowded sa entrance ng room namin. Hindi naman sa nakiko-chismis ako but I got curious kaya naki-siksik na rin ako.
My jaw dropped when I saw what was happening. Oh hell... What is this?
"What the..."
SOMEONE's POV
"Bilisan mo nga yan! Oh! Ano yan, tol?! Yung bulak-"
"Tol, relax okay? Maaga pa. Okay lang yan." Narinig ko naman ang tawa ng isa pang baliw naming kaibigan.
"Nakakatawa, Gonzaga?"
"Hahaha relax nga! It's not like it's your first. Dude, you're doomed." Natatawang sabi ni Warren. Bwesit din tong isang to eh.
"shh. Tahimik na nga! Ayusin mo na yan, Cal!" singhal ko kay Cal at binato sya ng papel. Lintik talaga.
Ilang sandali pa ay nagsi-datingan na ang ibang mga studyante. I know that they're talking about what I am doing here. Hell, who cares?!
"Woah.." I glared at my stupid brother when I heard him chuckled.
"Geez, stop glaring, bruh. Para kang bading." sabi nya at umupo sa teacher's table sa harap ng klase. Di nagtagal ay nag-kumpulan na ang mga studyante sa may pinto. Ang daming chismosa, grabe talaga. Any minute now.
"What the..."
There she is.
I can't blame her if she's surprise. Who wouldn't be? I mean, you just entered your classroom tapos ang ma-aabutan mo ay isang malaking...
'I LIKE YOU, MARIA AGATHA FUENTES'
"start." I signed to Warren kaya nagsimula na siyang tumugtog.
(Now Playing: PERFECT)
I found a love for me
Darling jist dive right in
And follow my lead
I can see Maria Agatha's cute eyes widened as she entered the room. Well, may tumutulak sa kanya, honestly.
Well I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
She started walking towards me kaya napangiti ako. Damn, I'm nervous.
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up, this time
I will never give you up, Maria Agatha. Never.
I saw how her forehead creased kaya mas nadagdagan ang kaba ko but I saw Ley and Top smiling at me and cheering from the crowd as well as the students..
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine.
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, wth you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favoritr song,
When you said you looked a mess,
I whispered underneath my breath,
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight.
I walked towards Maria Agatha. Di sya kumibo but she stared at me as if I am a stranger and I know, I admit that I am. You might call me stupid but I only had the chance to talk to her twice, first was a year ago and second was last, last night at the party but I fell deeply in love with her already.
"H-Hi.." I trailed.
You can do this.. Kaya mo to.
"You will call me an idiot if I tell you I like you right?" She just stared at me, as if she is waiting for something.
I cleared my throat and spoke again with the instrumental version of what I just sung few seconds ago as a background.
"Well, might as well call me crazy because I'm in love with you already."
MARA's POV
"Well, might as well call me crazy because I'm in love with you already." I was dumbfounded.
What did he just say?
"I know. We talked just twice but I love you already." Di pa rin nag si-sink in sa utak ko ang sinabi niya.
Did he just tell me he is in love with me?!
"A-Ano?" Di ko alam kung saan sa sinabi nya ang tinatanong kong ano, is it where he said he only talked to me twice or that he is in love with me?
"Di mo na siguro naaalala, but we met a year ago. I guided you towards the Dean's office. and I-I uhh.. started.. umm stalking you since then." Wait.
Stalker?
Ang gwapong stal-STALKER AH!
"w-why are you doing this?" I managed to ask.
Bakit nga ba?
"Umm.. Maria Agatha Fuentes, w-will you let me court you?"
What?!
Liligawan niya ako? Seryoso siya?
"W-What?" This is my first time receiving a proposal. Ganito pala ang pakiramdam nun. Now I know what Yana feels.
"Sabi ko, pwede ba kitang ligawan-ah! No need to answer na pala. I will court you wether you say you will let me or not." Litanya niya at binigyan ako ng boquet of red roses. I actually find this sweet. Naalala ko tuloy nung binigyan ako ni Andrei ng red rose-bakit si Andrei ang na-iisip ko?
"Mauna na kami, queen. See you later." I was still standing there hanggang sa mawala na sa harapan ko si Timothy at ang banda nya.
"Maaraa! yieeh! liligawan ka na ni Tim!" I heard Ley teased so I shut her up. Nakakahiya kaya ang ginawa nya!
I fished my phone out when I felt it vibrated and saw a text message.
Fr.: Timothy Zamora
I forgot to say, I love you. I love you, queen! 💕💘
damn. Why is my heart beating so fast?
What did you do to me Timothy Zamora!?!
