WAITING FOR YOU

YOU BELONG WITH ME

Bella's POV

I am now sixteen, sitting on the bleachers with my best friend Mae watching this stupid basketball game. While our classmates especially the girls are cheering, shouting and even chanting para ganahan mga players. Ako? Well lowkey lang na nakatingin kay Dylan habang hindi pa siya pinapasok ni Coach John. "Anong tinitignan mo? Or Sino?" tanong ni Mae habang tinitignan ako with her judging face. I start to sweat and then said "No one! They're not even worth watching."  Then Mae held my hand and said "Is it Dylan?" Nakakainis I don't want to lie pero kailangan kasi pag nalaman ni Mae lolokohin niya lang ako, so I made my decision and said "NO!" Then she laughed and told Annie that I was looking at Dylan, konti nalang talaga masasapak ko na si Mae. Buti nalang Annie is more understanding so she said "What's wrong with that? Hay nako Mae manood ka na nga lang." Thankfully natapos na yung usapan na yun about Dylan, si Mae kasi kainis.

One minute, one minute nalang matatalo na kami sa mga Seniors namin, well Grade 11 palang kasi kami and kilala ang Grade 12 or mga Seniors namin sa pagiging Champion sa basketball pag Intramurals. Pero I doubt that kasi finally pinasok na ni Coach John si Dylan, hindi ko alam kung anong pumasok sa utak ko but I prayed. "Lord, please po manalo kami and if hindi man kami manalo, that's okay let Your Will Be Done. Amen!" Nakakainis, Kaya hindi ako nanonood ng basketball pag nag lalaro si Dylan kasi ayoko ng unnecessary stress na baka masaktan siya pero sabi nga nila that's basketball, physical talaga.  

The Free Throw Line, si Dylan siya yung andun and pag hindi niya na shoot panalo ang Seniors. I heard someone shouted and said "Dylan! Para kay Jen!"
Jenny, I'm not really sure kung sila na ba ni Dylan or MU lang but it doesn't matter.
Unang try hindi na shoot ni Dylan kinakabahan siguro kaya ganun, "Para kay Bella!" Mae shouted.
I was flustered, bakit niya sinabi yun?! "Oo nga! Para kay Bella!" Annie shouted. Ayoko na mag karoon ng kaibigan nakakahiya paano pag narinig
ni Jen ano nalang iisipin niya? Haaaay kainis.

Last Shot, pag hindi pumasok talo na kami. I saw Dylan and na-na-na nashoot! We won! Everyone were so happy and they were cheering for Grade 11. Nakakainis lang kasi hindi yung pag ka panalo namin ang iniisip ko pero yung sinigaw nila Mae at Annie. What if Dylan heard them? Nakakainis na.
Okay, Bella stay calm. But how? Papalapit si Dylan,
why is he so handsome? Bakit ba sobrang attracted ako sakanya? Bakit ba ang dami dami kong tanong Bella, act normal. "Congratulations, Dylan." I whispered habang pababa kami nila Mae at Annie galing sa bleachers pero hindi niya narinig kasi hindi naman talaga ako ang nilapitan niya. He walked towards Jen, kasi gusto ni Jen na may picture sila.

I don't know why, pero hindi ko talaga kayang sabihin kay Dylan yung nararamdaman ko. Anong sasabihin ko? Dylan, I've been waiting for you since Grade 1? Dylan, I love you kahit na hindi mo ako pansinin? Dylan, you belong with me? See I can't kasi kahit na anong gawin ko weird padin.
Maybe it's better for him not to know how much I love Him. But Dylan Ezekiel Nicholas Castro Alvarez, I love you.
