#TPBTWRStopTheOperation

The next day felt normal.

Pumasok ako sa school.
Listened to the lectures.
Taking down notes.
Scrolling pages sa library.

At the moment, I was still reading a book when a story hits me. Napadpad ako sa Novel Section.

May books din pala na ganito sa Lib. All these years akala ko puro headache lang ang matatamo ko.

Sumandal ako sa books habang binabasa ang iba pang books. I was drowning while reading those books until someone just dropped a white rose above the page I am reading.

Napatingala ako and saw a shadow of someone. Against the lights kasi. Napagtanto ko na isa itong lalaki. Nakaglasses.

He is very familiar.

"Hi." Hyle said after he bended over to have the same height with me.

"Distraction." I commented.

He took the book I am holding and faced me.

"Anong ginagawa mo, Villaflores?" Naiinis na sabi ko.

Sa tuwihg nakikita ko ang mukha niya o kaya naririnig ang boses niya o kaya pangalan niya, naiinis at naiinis ako. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nagkakaganito.

"I am courting you, remember?" He sounds so confident.

Kaya ba ganyan siya ka confident kasi alam na niya na may pagnanasa ako sa kanya? Kasi alam niyang may feelings na ako eversince from the beginning.

I stood up straight and glared at him.

"Well your stupid idea of courting a girl is such a new school. Nakaka... turn off."

I walked out.

Sinundan niya ako.

I eyed him.

"New school? So you want me to court you in other ways?" He asked.

I cant believe he said that.

"I-..."

"But you want me to court you, Miss Bierneza." He said.

Agaiin, I cant believe he is saying things like this. Ayoko lang ginaganito ako sa pakikipag-usap nang mga tao.

Anyways!

"Ano ba kasing gusto mo, Arianne?" He asked.

He is so different.

Voice.

Eyes.

Hindi ko na siya crush.

Hmp!

WELL stupid braincells of mine claims he is still my crush pero hello? lahat nang nagugustuhan ko sa kanya noon? They burned!

Its gone.

"Hind ko alaam. Hindi ko alam. At hindi ko ALAM. Its not like I have been courted before." I said and I left him.

Hindi ko lang kasi mapagtanto na parang nagpapaka harsh guy siya over me. Bakit? Kailangan ba talaga maging matapang para manligaw nang babae? Ganun pala yun? Oh! then lucky me kasi never been courted ako. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Siguro kasi pangit ako. But I have never dream for a boyfriend before either.

Ang bata-bata pa para pumasok sa isang relasyon na hindi pa naman sigurado kung ang tama na tao yun.

Mas mabuti yung college na ako.

Atleast may naiintindihan na.

Pero bakit puro nalang headaches and heartaches and dissapointments ang matatamo ko?

WHY LOVE AT ALL ANYWAY?

Lalong naging magulo ang utak ko kaya i turned around and go back to where I left him.

Andun pa rin siya napatulala sa sahig.

Did I said something wrong?

Tama naman ako diba?

"Hyle Villaflores. Stop courting me from now on."
