[1] HIS EYES THAT WON'T LOOK AT ME 3

LEIZEL
GRABE  napahiya ako ng todo dun. But I swear na never pako nagkamali sa mga deductions ko. Siguro love will make your brain really go crazy.

LOVE?

I tried to talk to Nammie. At dahil ako ang may problema ngayon, alam kong hindi gagana ang skill ko regarding with reading peoples mind dahil napapangunahan ako ng feelings ko.

"good choice na lumapit ka sakin. Kasi kung sasarilinin mo yan mababaliw ka, Leizel." Pagjojoke niya. I just stared at her.

"Ito naman, di mabiro!" She chuckled.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes at her.

"You can't make any conclusions dahil sasaktan molang ang sarili mo, Leizel... so based sa sinabi mo.. sa tingin ko, may gusto nga sayo si Jasper. Natatandaan mo pa ba yung pag uusap nila ni CJ noon na hindi niya ipapahalata yung feelings niya at hindi rin siya makikipag usap sa crush niya?"

'Huh? Wala akong natatandaan..."

"That doesn't matter. Pero kung iisipin mo, nabuo na ang puzzle. Jasper not talking or making eye contact with you, not replying with you but asking other to reply to you... he obviously cares about you..secretly." I knew it.

"Shit, Nam. You are really smart!"

"So you are. Hindi mo lang talaga maisip ng malinaw dahil sa nabulag ka ng pagmamahal."

"Corny mo!" me trying to hide my smile.

"Looking at you right now, makes me confirm that how much cold and calm you are, love can make you look stupid no matter how you-"

"OMG, do I look stupid?"

Nammie chuckled. She's making fun out of me. She removed her eyeglass and put it inside her bag.

Hindi niya yun sinusuot kasi mainit. Sinusuot niya lang pag naglelecture or nag oorder ng food or something. Kahit siya naman talaga ang pinakamalabo ang mata samin.

"Why don't you just wear contacts kasi? May pera kanaman." I told her.

"NEXT YEAR. Hm.. Maybe the best thing that can cure you is to tell Jasper that you like him. That's the only way for him to get the guts and confess his feelings for you." She's talkingas if she's talking to her patient.

"Do you think its just easy as one two three?!"

"Then don't." She shrugged leaving me no choice.

I go home and I don't know why I got friends like them, I think I'm going crazy!

But fvck. I know I'm right with deductions! It's a double win for me! THE FACT THAT I know Jasper has feelings for me too, is just a big accomplishment for me.

I don't know when did I started to become desperate for Jasper's attention. One day I just found myself finding seats infront pretending that I lost my contact lenses so I can't see what's written on the board.

"Excuse me? Pwede ba tayong magpalit ng seats? Di ko kasi makita yung nasa board e." Sabi ko sa nasa likuran ni Jasper. Ginamit ko pa yung pinakacute kong boses dahil alam kong maririg ni Jasper ang boses ko.
