The more you hide your feeling for someone, the more you fall for them.

"Ba't ang tagal naman nilang Queen at Macey? Anong petsa na malapit nang mag pasko!" Maktol na sabi ni Angie.

Nandito kasi kami sa Main Canteen ng school hinihintay ang mga bruha, di pa tapos sa kanilang project.

Meron kasi kaming group project at mag ka groupo kami ni Angie samantalang sina Queen at Macey naman ang magkasama. Kami ito tapos na, ang bagal kasi nilang gumawa malayo pa daw kasi ang deadline.

While Kirt, jowa ni Angie na naging bestfriend na din namin, absent dahil tamad as usual.

"Ano ba naman ya-" i look at Angie to see what made her stop.

"Crush mo" sabay nguso sa lalaking papasok pa lang ng canteen.

My mood instantly lit up. My eyes settle at the beautiful creation God had made, Him. At that thought my heart instantly beat like it has a mind of its own, that if his near even if it's just his voice i'd hear it would instantly beats like crazy. I faced Angie.

"Please tell me, ayos lang ba ang itsura ko? May dumi ba ako sa mukha?" I started feeling conscious.

"Chill" sabi nya sabay ayos nito sa mga nakatakas na buhok sa gilid ng tainga ko.

"Papalapit na bes" Angie said.

What to do? shit! kinakabahan ako.

"Hi kane!" bati ni angie sa kanya. Buti nalang nakatalikod ako sa kanila. I calm myself...

"Angie ikaw pala" sabi ni Daniel his bestfriend.

"Kane may sasabihin pala si Czah sayo" pinandilatan ko sya ng mata. What the fuck is she doing? hindi nya ba alam na mamamatay na ako sa kaba.

"A-ah hi kane" sabi ko sabay dahan-dahang humarap sa kanila, specifically sa kanya sabay wave.

"Hello" sabay ngiti ng subrang lapad. Shit naman mas lalo akong nafafall eh.

"Pwede ba kaming maki-upo?" Daniel said with a piattos in his right hand then wink at me.

"Sure" sabay tayo ni angie at lumipat sa gilid ko.

Kane Mendoza is my good friend since grade school up until now. I don't know bakit ngayon ko lang sya naging crush nunkang matagal na kaming magkakilala at magkaibigan.

Ang kaharap ko ay si Kane at si Daniel naman kay Angie.

"So, what are your plans this afternoon?" Daniel started the convo while eating his piattos.

Actually, we were classmates but had different majors at Ons High. Ons High is a public school in our municipality that offers vocational-technical majors to train students in the skills required for the programs they want to pursue in the future. Ibang klase din ang saya pag public school ka nag aaral. I would say its the best experience.
