Still Dark, Love (Still Series #1)

Hakbang 18

"Hashline, saan ka pupunta?" Agap ni Curl sa akin.

I immediately put my things inside my shoulder bag when the professor dismissed our class. Last day na namin ngayon at bakasyon na bukas.

"Papaalam lang." Tipid kong sagot.

Nanliliit mata niya akong tinignan. A smile suddenly formed on her lips. I pouted to hide mine.

"Kanino?"

"Whatever, Curl. Alam mo naman kung sino." Irap ko.

She laughed and tried to interrogate me more about his brother. Wala akong sinagot kaya pinakawalan niya na rin ako. I told her na mauna na sa mansion nila and just wait for me there. May usapan kasi kaming magluto sa bahay nila. I asked for help about something.

Masaya akong lumakad papunta sa building nila Riordan. Hindi pa kasi nila last day ngayon. Dahil graduating students, mas busy sila. Maraming requirements na pinapapasa at inaasikaso. Dagdag pa na finals week nila. Nauna lang kaming magbakasyon dahil nagawa at napasa na naman namin lahat at isa pa, first year palang kami.

I smiled back to those students who smiles at me. However, there's still some people na kung tignan ako mula ulo hanggang paa, as if judging me. Pinili ko na lang hindi pansinin. Afterall, it's not worth my time. I don't care if they judge me. I am the own judge of myself. Saka lang ako lalaban kapag inaway na ako, syempre.

I am kind to those who are kind to me. A bitch to those who are bitch to me.

"Nandito na naman 'yan..."

"First year pero palaging pumupunta rito?"

"Si Riordan pupuntahan niyan."

That's just a few of the many gossips I heard about me going here in the senior's floor.

I don't always go here so I'm really confused with their words. Si Riordan kasi ang laging pumupunta sa akin kaya hindi ako nagagawi rito. Ngayon lang week na ito dahil ako na ang nagkusa because I know he's busy. So, I don't really know what they are talking about.

Anong laging pumupunta? Excuse me?

It's been a month since he confessed his feelings to me. A month since that incident on the court. A month of happiness.

If there are other words to describe how happy, blessed, and content I am right now, then that's what I am feeling. I have never been this happy my whole life.

Ngayon lang.

With my loving and hardworking parents, my incomparable best friend, my protective Kuyas slash boy friends, and Riordan, I couldn't ask for more.

This is the life I want to live. Not perfect but happy. Flawed but dreamy.

Riordan and I... we don't really name our relationship. We don't have a label. I just know that he's inlove with me. I never really said that I am inlove with him too but I guess that's understandable. I've been inlove with him since I was young.

I don't know what we are, but I'm happy with the things that's going on between us now. Masaya ako sa mga ginagawa at pinaparamdam niya sa akin. He would always make time for me. Will always surprise me with his efforts and thoughtfulness. Will always make me feel loved.

Hindi ako nagde-demand ng kahit ano mula sakaniya. Kusa nya iyong binibigay kahit na hindi ko hingiin.

A month after what happened in the court, lagi na kaming magkasama. Minsan kasama namin si Speed at Curl, mas madalas kaming dalawa lang dahil ang magaling kong bestfriend, lagi akong tinutulak sa Kuya niya!
