Pizza’s Point of view
Ugh. It’s 12:00 na, and I’m not yet sleepy.. I remembered what happened earlier, Kenneth asked me to be his girlfriend and here I am still stuck on thinking kung ano isasagot ko sakaniya. He’s my friend, best friend to be exact. He knows me very well, he knows what I like, what I dislike, kung kalian ako nagagalit and other stuffs. But is he worth it? I know he is. Why am I over-thinking? I know I should give him a chance, he deserves it. Kala niyo yun, he transferred to another school para lang sa nararamdaman niya para sakin dahil ayaw niyang masira friendship namin. Hmm, my decision is now clear, hindi yung shampoo ha! I texted him.
To: Kenneth Gwapo Marco [kapal niya no, siya nag-type nan]
Kenneth Uhugin! [Yep, that’s why I used to call him]
Antagal niya mag-reply ha! Oh wait, I’m so dumb. Madaling araw na nga pala tas ie-expect ko pa na magre-reply siya? Very clever, Pizza. But then my phone vibrated, galing siguro sa twitter to or whatever but I still checked it and nagulat ako, nagreply siya.. si Kenneth.
From: Kenneth Gwapo Marco [I’ll change this later!]
Yes? Pizzang tomboy? Why are you still awake? Madaling araw na! May pasok pa bukas.
Same old caring Kenneth. Wait, I’ll just change his contact name, ka-irita eh.
To: Ken Uhugin
Can’t sleep, thinking too many things. I should be asking you the same question, Mr. Marco, why are you still awake?
Then he replied agad.
From: Ken Uhugin
I’m thinking of you.
Sht. Kinilig ako. Maybe this is the time I should tell him.. but then my phone rang.
“Hello?” sabi ko
“Pizza, matulog ka na.” yung boses niya parang tatay mag-salita right now and it’s funny as poop.
“I don’t want to. I still have something to say.” Sabi ko.
“siguraduhin mong kapuyat-puyat yang sasabihin mo ha.” Brrr. Nakakatakot boses niya.
“Okay. First of all, di ako naghanda ng speech para dito but who cares? Ikaw lang naman makakarinig neto. So if nagtataka ka kung anong iniisip ko at ganito na ko ka-late natulog.. eto na ang kasagutan, pinag-isipan ko kung ano bang isasagot ko sa’yo. And my answer is..”
Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang pinag-papawisan yung kamay ko eh, pero naka-aircon naman ako. Maybe because I’m nervous. And then I can hear a cough coming from the other line, oh right. Kausap ko nga pala si Ken, nadala ako ng kaba.
“Yes. You can court me.”
“Sht.” I heard him curse on the other line.
“Ayaw mo ata. Ge, it’s alright.” Sabi ko.
“Are you kidding, Pizza? Ang saya ko! Ang saya saya ko! Ahhhh!” narinig ko siyang sumigaw, I chuckled. Nawawala pagka-badgirl ko pag siya kausap ko. Ay landi.
“HOY MAGPATULOG KA NAMAN” rinig ko ulit sigaw sa kabilang linya, si tita siguro yun. Na-iimagine ko siya na parang nahihiya kahit siya lang mag-isa. Cute.
“Ayan, napagalitan ka pa ni tita. Ang ingay mo kase!” I teased him.
“Okay okay, I’ll calm down. But I have something to say too.” Sabi niya.. inaantok na ko.
“Alright! Bilisan mo’t inaantok na ko.”
“Yes ma’am! Okay, first of all. Wonder kung bakit gising parin ako? And when I told you I was thinking of you. It’s all true. Iniisip ko kung paano kapag ligaw palang di ka na pumayag.. all those negative thoughts. And I honestly, didn’t expect this coming. Like seriously.” Haha! I giggled. Taena, kinikilig ako.
“Lol. Okay then, bukas nalang? Antok na talaga ako. Goodnight, Mr. Uhugin” Sabi ko. Di dapat ako magpakita ng signs na gusto ko siya. Pa-hard-to-get muna. I’m not like those girls na isang sabi mo lang ng “liligawan na kita” biglan niyang sasabihin “gusto mo tayo na eh!” juice colored. Ganiyan ang mga babae sa school ko at nakaka-irita. Lalande.
“Sige. Goodnight, sleeptight. Dream of me.” And pinatay ko na yung call and drifted off to sleep.
