Two sides of falling (Short Story)

His (2)

Alam kong maraming nabubuwisit sa mga taong tulad ko. Ang nananakit ng taong hindi dapat sinasaktan. You could blame me. But I think ignoring her and making her feel like she was nothing to me was the same as saving her from her own stupidity.

Don't get me wrong. I know she's smart, smart enough to gain grades not below 90. Yet she is a fool, I wanted her to hate me, for her to forget all her stupid feelings for me but then, she did the opposite. Instead of feeling pity for her, I reached the point where I hated her. Not too much, but I just knew I don't like her so it's the same as saying I hate her.

A smile like hers would brighten up a day, but I hated her so I'll just say I hated her smile. It was not pleasant at all for me. I was annoyed every time she smiles. Yes, hating her for liking me is a very stupid reason. But hey, magiging kaibigan ko sana siya kung hindi siya ganyan umasta.

Turning her down might hurt a lot, but I don't like her so I didn't care. She's the one to blame anyway. It was never my intention to make her fall for me and to make herself be as stupid as she was. Yes, I am evil. I wouldn't mind if you would also hate me, but still, it won't change the fact that I don't like her. I hated her as much as you will hate me.

So, nung tinawagan ako ng mga magulang ko na lumipat sa Tagaytay, I was hesitant at first. I was thinking twice because I would just leave the place where I met some of my friends. But if leaving would mean I won't see her again, then so be it. So I left, feeling glad that finally, I will never see her again. I am leaving the person I hate, that would be perfect.

I didn't think about how she would feel. Masaktan na kung masaktan siya. Hate me more for this but, leaving her was so easy 'cause I'll tell you again, she never really mattered to me.
