Two sides of falling (Short Story)

His (1)

I remembered someone telling me that she likes me. She was stuttering with her cheeks tinted red. Everyone would say that she looked so cute at that time, that she looked so adorable that you wouldn’t be able to say “no” to anything she would ask. Yes, I was so close to see myself smiling at her confession, yet remembering how immature she was made me just turn around and leave her there standing, to make her realize how stupid she was.

Call me rude, cruel, or anything that would satisfy you to make me feel how evil I was for hurting such an innocent mind. She was 14 at 16 naman ako noon. The age gap was fine, she looked fine, she was smart. Many guys would fall for her, but I was not one of them.

Hindi ako perfectionist kung iniisip niyo na dahil lang sa immature siya kaya ko siya sinaktan. Pretty face doesn’t attract me too much, an intelligent mind doesn’t mesmerize me. Ang kailangan ko ay isang taong kaya akong mahalin at alagaan. Oo, qualified siya sa dalawa pero iniisip ko palang, siya yung tipong nakakasakal. How she acts was just so irritating. It annoys the hell out of me. I was as cold as ice to her, pero she acted the same. She was as annoying as she was when I first met her.

Yes, we were too young back then for me to think all about this things but I was so sure that If I told her I liked her too, then she’d be willing to wait for that stupid right time. She was too gullible, too gullible na nagiging tanga na siya. Masama na kung masama, tell me I am such an ungrateful person for hurting someone who’s willing to be there for me but I can’t help it. I just don’t feel the same way.

Ayaw ko ng papansin, ayaw ko ng O.A, ayaw ko ng maingay. To sum it up,

ayaw ko sa kanya.
