PROLOGUE

Ijimi Akamine's (18) POV

"Hey Ijimi bilisan mo! Baka umuwi na si Justin at di mo pa sya makausap!"

Sigaw sakin ni Viola habang tumatakbo kami sa labas ng high school campus namin.

Yes. Hinahabol namin ang sikat na si Justin Lee. Ang isa sa mga pinakagwapo at pinakasikat na student dito sa campus namin. Lilipat na kasi sya ng school kasi tapos na sya sa senior high and need namin sya makita para makapagconfess ako ng nararamdaman ko para sa kanya.

"Wait Viola! Alam mo naman na I'm not good at running eh." Sigaw ko sa kanya habang hinihingal ako at 'Oh god'. Ang daming tao sa may gate!

"Siguro nandito na si Justin! Bilisan mo Ijimiiii." Sabi sakin ni Viola.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Viola at pinigilan sya tumakbo kasi pagod na ko at halos naliligo na sa pawis.

"Wait lang.. pahinga muna si-"

Umikot ikot ang paningin ko dahil sa hilo at bigla akong tumaob sa dibdib ng isang lalake. Parang kilala ko to ah?

"Hello Ms. Akamine? Are you alright? You're sweating too much, you need to drink some water." Sabi nya sakin with a worrying voice while he's wiping my sweat on my face.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay nya para pigilan sya sa pagpunas ng mukha ko.

"J-justin Lee.. before you leave this school.. please accept my confession." Sabi ko without hesitation pero medyo hinihingal.

He smiled.

"And what confession Ms. Akamine? Aaminin mo na ba na ikaw yung kumuha ng jacket ko?" Sabi nya and he gave a short laugh.

"I love you Justin Lee. I fell for you since the day you gave me your lunch kasi I forgot my money that time. You were so nice that time and we even talked about animes and stuff. Please.. will you be my boyfriend?" I confessed. And now I'm sweating bullets again. Will he say Yes or No? AAAAAAAAAAA

He's shocked.

He's speechless.

What happened?

"I-I don't know what to say Ms. Akami-"

"Please call me Ijimi" bigla kong sinabi bago pa nya matapos sasabihin nya.

"I-Ijimi.. so you're telling me that you love me for like.. 2 years already?" He asked with a nervous tone.

"Yes. Mahal na mahal kita Justin. Ikaw pa lang yung kaibigang lalake na meron ako. I'm comfortable with you. You're so caring. You accept my weirdness. You're always there for m-"

He kissed me.

Justin Lee. My 2 years crush. Kissed me. On my lips.

"Why did you have to hide it Ijimi? I've been calling you Ms. Akamine for 2 years because I respect you. Yun pala may gusto ka din sakin?" Sabi nya sakin with his gentle sweet voice na palagi kong naririnig whenever he comforts me.

"Yes dum dum.. I love you too. And I'll be the happiest guy in this world if I become your boyfriend!" He hugged me tight and held my hand.

"About time guys. After 2 years di ko na kailangang itago yung secret ship ko sainyo. HAHAHAHAHAHA" epal samin ni Viola habang nakangiti at pinapanood kami ni Justin.

"Wait.. alam mo na may gusto sakin si Justin?!" Sigaw ko sakanya.

She whistled and she walked away slowly "well.. kayo na bahala dyan. Bye bye mga kups at magparami kayo!" Sabi nya samin sabay takbo ng mabilis. Siraulo.

Tumawa kami ni Justin and we both looked at each other again.

"So Ijimi.. you're saying na tayo na?" He asked with a teasing voice.

"Ayaw mo? Okay lang. Ako lang naman yung iiyak kapag di mo ko sinagot." sabi ko while pouting.

He laughed and kisses me again. "I'd love to be your boyfriend."

I hugged him back and tried to hide on his chest. Kinikilig ako sobra! Di ko ineexpect na he loves me too. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayers HAHAHAHAHA.

Nagulat naman ako nung binuhat nya ko and shouted at everyone "WHOOOOO KAMI NA NI MS. AKAMINE! MGA LALAKE DITO SA LOOB NG CAMPUS WAG NA WAG NYONG HAHAWAKAN GF KO! AKIN LANG SYAAAAA"

mas lalo akong nahiya kasi ang daming tao sa paligid. Karamihan mga babae na may gusto sa kanya at yung iba naman ay mga kasamahan nya sa basketball.

Kinurot ko yung pisngi nya na napakakinis "put me down Justin! This is embarrassing!"

"Why? You're not wearing a skirt so its fine~" He told me with a smirk on his face and then bigla syang tumakbo sa gitna ng maraming tao. "Alis na kami ng GF ko!" He shouted while he's running.

Napayakap ako sa balikat at leeg nya kasi ang bilis nya. He's running like he's not carrying anything big. Ganto ba sya kalakas? O talagang magaan lang ako? Who knows and who cares? Wala na kong pake kasi ang saya saya ko ngayon.

Bumagal ang takbo nya kasi malapit na kami sa ministop. Binaba nya ko sa harap ng pinto at pinapasok ako sa loob like a butler.

Pffft he's too cute and precious.

Pinaupo nya ko malapit sa bintana mag-isa at bumili sya ng meryenda. Watching him happily buy some foods for us while knowing the fact na I'm his GF is making me smile randomly and I can't even hide it at this point.

Nagbayad na sya sa cashier and bumalik na sya sa pwesto namin while carrying a tray of random food. May dalawang balot ng Honey Butter, dalawang C2 tea, isang Cornetto for him at isang Magnum for me. Wait.. bakit magnum sakin? ANG MAHAL.

"Oiiii Justin. Bakit ang mahal ng ice cream ko? Let me pay for it. Okay?" Sabi ko sa kanya habang hinahanap ko pera ko.

While preparing my money, he suddenly hold my hand. "Wag mo na bayaran. GF na kita ngayon kaya lahat ng libre ko is libre talaga. Please accept it or else I'll get upset." he looked at me with his cute pout.

How can I resist his cuteness?! "Fine. Ngayon lang yan ah? Di mo na mauulit yan next time." Sabi ko sa kanya while I'm opening my Honey butter potato chips.

He smiled again and kissed me on my cheeks. Damn I love him so much.

While eating my snacks. Me and Justin talked about school, anime and yung mga tao na nasa paligid namin. As usual nag kwentuhan kami ng parang magtropa lang.

After I finished my snacks I suddenly hugged him tightly.

"Please wag kang magsasawa sakin Justin.." I sadly told him those while my eyes are closed.

He patted my head gently and hugged me from my back. "Yes Ijimi. I won't ever leave you. You're mine forever." Then he suddenly kissed my forehead.

And he whispered "hopefully kayanin mo din ako Ijimi."

I felt the shivers into my body. Ano ibig-sabihin nun? Meron ba syang mga di pa pinapakita sakin? Now I'm scared.
