Fall "Who wouldn't fall for you?"

TWO

I froze. Patay na.

"By the way, this is my girlfriend and her friends." Leonardo introduced us to him.

Liezl stand up from her seat and do a handshake with him. Hershey doesn't need to stand up just to have a handshake with him. Biglang kumalabog yung puso ko. I'm the next one who will do a handshake with him...and I can't look at him.

Inabot ko yung kamay ko and I feel how my hand enveloped by his warm and soft hand. Nahiya yung kamay ko, ang lambot ng kamay niya. My face heated. Hindi rin tumagal ang pagkakahawak ng kamay namin dahil parang napaso ako sa pagkakahawak sa kanya.

Napatikhim ako. I immediately get my phone to distract myself.

I was biting my lower lip out of embarrassment.

I know he heard all of it.

"Hindi masarap magmahal mga basketball player."

I'm hearing it in my ears over and over again.

Napapikit ako. Damn ang daldal mo Autumn!

My phone beep. I saw Hershey message me in IG. 

doyouwantahershey: the guy beside you is looking at you.

I don't reply.

I know. I can feel it.

Why do I tie my hair? Hindi ko tuloy maitago yung mukha ko.

My phone beep again.

doyouwantahershey: We are surrounded by archers, Dahon. La Salle basketball team.

Napataas yung kilay ko. Bilis talaga ng mata ni tsokolate kapag may basketball player.

doyouwantahershey: Bat diko napansin na may mga dumating na pogi kinina?

doyouwantahershey: humihina na ata radar ko.

doyouwantahershey: Beh tae-na ang pogi nung nasa likod ko.

doyouwantahershey: but the guy beside you looks so damn hot!

Napakunot ang noo ko. Tinadtad talaga ako ni gaga.

I don't care.

I continue to watch the next game. It's now UP vs FEU.

Because our seats were so near at the court muntik na'kong tamaan ng bola.
