Playing With Fire

Sixth Blaze

Author's note:
It's been 2 years and I just came back from wattpad huhu. I was really devastated with all the school works and activities I got myself into. I came across this account on my other and realized na sayang kung hindi ko itutuloy. Hindi ko man sigurado kung may magbabasa nito but still! It's worth the try. Besides, people in this story made a big impact in my life.

Sorry for the interruption, I missed writing huhu.

Jilliane's POV

Since we're on the same village with Louise and same way back, napagpasyahan namin na magsabay nalang pauwi. Since it's just early, around 6, inaya ko siyang tumambay muna sa bahay namin. Hindi naman siguro siya mapapagalitan 'no?

"I had this fling back in grade 6. Funny 'no? Grade 6 ako natutong makipag fling." Natatawang sambit ko kay Louise. She's sitting in a single sofa while I'm leaning myself in the wall by the side of the bed— across her.

It was Valentines back when I was in 6th grade. I knew this guy ever since kinder. His mom told me how much that guy likes me. He even told his mom not to bring down our picture hanging in their house. I had a crush on him because of that. But then, I was still innocent. I don't know what crush means.

Grade 6. Magkaklase kami ulit. I had a crush on him for real. Sino ba namang hindi? He's tall, fair, his black hair blends in and his pointy nose and sharp eyes is really catching. Dito magsimula yung MU na 'yan. Ewan ko ba, bakit ba kasi naimbento yang MU na yan.

Mutual understanding. Gusto mo siya, gusto ka niya pero walang kayo. It wasn't a big deal for me that time kasi hindi rin naman ako seryoso.

We even exchange accounts on facebook and  chat in our mutual group chats. It was all fun and games until a guy from my village started courting and he knew about it. He chatted that guy USING MY ACCOUNT and started this so-called-war.

Haba ng hair.

Kinabukasan— still clueless— my mom came across that guy outside our school. Since hatid sundo ako, umakyat nanay ko sa room namin and found my grade 6 fling, ako, at yung bestfriend ko. Nanlalamig siya at halatang kabang kaba. Then we found out, nakabantaan sila kagabi at ang dahilan ng pagpapakita ng manliligaw ko sa labas ng schoo namin ay dahil sakanya.

My mom came up to me after resolving that issue. Iyakan dito, iyakan doon.

"I can be your bestfriend. Sabihan mo lang ako kung may problema, may gusto ka ba sa isang tao o ano. Ayokong napapahamak ka dahil diyan sa pag boboyrfriend na 'yan." These are the words that carved in my mind sa lahat ng sinabi niya.

"Grabe naman 'yon, girl. Haba ng hair ha. Pero normal naman 'yun. Mas maganda kung maaga palang, naranasan mo na para pag nagseryoso ka na, alam mo na gagawin mo." Ani Louise.

Patuloy lang kami sa kwentuhan hanggang sa sumapit ang dilim kaya't hinatid ko na siya sa baba at nag paalam.

Dahil sa araw na 'to lalo kaming naging dikit ni Louise. She's older and that's what I liked so much about her. She's mature and alam mong totoo pinapakita niya sa'yo. Walang halong plastikan unlike some people of my age.
