Into You

Tylli

Handa na ba talaga akong kausapin siya?

I got up from my seat. We have no class at this hour dahil vacant namin, kaya naisipan ko rin na kausapin siya dahil alam kong vacant din nila ngayon.

"Aalis ka na, Ty?" Tumango ako kay Suzy.

"Sorry talaga hindi kita masamahan ha? Walang hiya naman talaga kasi itong mga research mates ko. Nasabihan ko na gawin nila yung Chapter 2, hindi pa pala nila nagawa." She frowned.

"It's okay, Zy. Kaya ko namang pumunta sa rooftop kahit ako lang mag-isa." I chuckled.

"Oh sige. Go na! At baka kanina pa siya naghihintay. Good luck!" Ngumiti ako sa kaniya at lumabas na rin sa class room.

Our room is located on the 4th floor so it just took me a few minutes to be there.

I saw Crizha and Marco near the door. They were talking and standing so close. Nakita ako ni Crizha at tinulak niya palayo si Marco. I know something is going on between them. It's clear that they both like each other.

"Tylli!"

Ngumiti ako kay Crizha at lumapit sa kanila.

"Is he there?"

"Yes. Kaya pumasok ka na. Don't waste the time." Marco opened the door and Crizha pushed me.

"Go na! Kami na ang bahala sa pagbabantay dito para hindi masira ang moment niyo." She winked at me.

I saw Josh standing near the railings. His back is facing us and his arms crossing over his chest.

I took a step.

I can't do this!

Babalik na lang ako habang hindi pa niya ako nakikita. Hindi pa naisasara nina Crizha at Marco ang pinto kaya't nakita nila ako na naglalakad pabalik.

"What are you doing? Go na, girl! Kaya mo yan!" Crizha stopped me from going out and closed the door immediately.

I sighed. Kaya ko na ba talaga?

I looked at Josh again. He even went here para lang maka-usap ako. I don't want to waste his time.

I've made up my mind. I'll talk to him.

Naglakad ako palapit sa kaniya. I stood near the railings too, still maintaining a safe distance between us. I saw him looking at me in my peripheral vision.

Should I start talking? What if he'll speak first? Hindi. I should speak first because I have a lot of things to say.

"Josh..."

"Tylli..."

Nagkitinginan kami dahil sabay kaming nagsalita. Sabay pa talaga ha.

Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kaniya.
I can't stand his stares!

"I'm sorry..." We both said at the same time again.

Hell, this is so awkward!

We both went silent. Should I let him speak first?
