LOVE ME LIKE A LOST SOUL

Chapter 2: the crush

It's been 3 week since that andrie incident. Hindi na rin siya nakita, why do i care kong di ko siya makita? Nan dito ako sa paraalaan kong san exams week everybody was busy studying and listening to the teachers same goes to me ayaw ko rin mabagsak eh as the teacher was reviewing biglang akong kinausap nang lalaki kong katabi naka panibago dahil hindi naman ako kina kausap nito

"pssst bro, busy ka after exam?" sabi niya

"parang hindi bro bakit?" giving him a confused look "I'm sabastian btw" giving me those smile "alam ko kaya pangalan mo, eh magkatabi lang tayo" i give him a about to laugh face, he did laugh bago then saying "alam ko din pangalan mo rick" tumawa nalang ako na agad niyang kinontra "bakit ka tumatawa? Tama diba? Rick" i was close to crying kasi tawa ako nang tawa "it's henric" sabi ko "rick at henric ano pinag kakaiba doon?"

i cut the chase "so ano gagawin natin after exam" he look at me with an exciting look "since we been classmates for 2 months na eh bakit di tayo mag celebrate at magkaroon ang kaibigan, last year of junior high na ito" i realize that i was indeed a introvert wala akong friends since, dili ko alam kong bakit wala akong kaibigan ako yung tipong gusto ma pag isa i also realize na gusto iyong baguhin kaya't pumayag ako sumabay after exam

"so sino mga kasabay natin?" tanong ko habang naka tingin sa kanya " hmm basta nan doon yung babae na palagi mong kasama jannah ba yun at iba pa " i was suprise eh tulad kaya kami ni jannah i was about to reply when suddenly the teacher start shouting

"NAKA KIKINIG BA KAYO?"

"OPO MAAM" reply nang buong klase

Me and sabastian just stared each other while giggling.

*****************

So the night a Before exam cramming is real i literally had to read all of my notes ayaw ko kasing mabagsak 3 hours had past i decided to scroll a bit on Twitter i usually got this foreign friend dahil gamer ako, then after a several minutes i've passed to a depressed stranger twit saying

@iamaloner

"why does life so cruel? Why can't they let be me whoever i want to be? I wish i could die nobody wants me what's the point of living"

Felt my heart just ache kasi i somewhat feel the same where nobody wants me and then changed when sabastian invited me over to a celebratation with my classmate inorder na rin to start a friendship. Without contemplating i dm her saying

*"hey saw your twit and i exactly know what it feels like but i disagree that no one wants you though, if this isn't too much then i'll be your friend"*

I start stalking the stranger all i can see is hatred and pain on the stranger's twitt, start scrolling again on her timeline and i stopped by to her old twitts and reading her twit looking to my phone

@iamaloner

Hi everyone my name is Cha...

Suddenly my mama tata entered the room which made me startled and lock my phone up pretending to study again "uy ma bakit ka nandito?" she looked at at me as if nagagalit "aba bakit?" she went over to my basket full of used T-shirt and jeans saka mga uniform "dami naman nito" she complain "kunin mo nayan mag study pa ako" and she did

I turn up my phone again and forgot what i was about to do. Then a messenge notification show up which is a reply from @iamaloner

"*jeez thank you so much i need that with laughing emojis*"

"*we just met and i know this is rude to ask but are you a girl?*" i replied

"* you wouldn't chat me if i weren't?

"* that's not what i meant it's just i feel like your a girl*"

"* yeah i am*"

"*cool, so what seems to be bothering you?*"

We talk about her family problems and them being strict we talk about it an hour or two not noticing the time it was 11:30pm and i got distracted which reminds me na meron pa pala akong exam i told her that, and she did agree that i should go to sleep when i was about to go to sleep she dm me

*"my name is k btw*"

"*oh nice to meet you k gotta to to sleep goodnight*"

She replied "goodnight too thank for... I did not saw the entire messenge because i read it on the cellphone notification center, without noticing i fell asleep

*****************

Day 2 of the exam

This is it the day has come where i finally had to break my introvert chains and socialize people standing in the door sabastian immediately came close to me "dude this is the day you ready?" i smiled "yeah dude but Before that goodluck in your exam" exam has started there were only 3 subject left.

After sabastian called all of those are coming with us as expect there were 10 people joining with us, "oh right guys rick here is joining with us" i was mortified when he called me rick, but laugh when people ask whos rick "who the hell is rick?" Everybody asked. Sebastian grabbed me and introduce me everybody was staring at me then suddenly a girl who i know has a crush on me said "omg henric is coming ?

I wanna come too" "Great! Lets go" we went to the Gmall only to window shopping and went to the peak a kind of park in gmall after as soon as nightfalls we went to Roxas night market we eat a lot of street food and actually i gained few friends i never felt to so happy,and i never did exprience thess kind of stuff, as the time comes where we exchange goodbyes, i was bit dissapointed because jannah isn't here because of some emergency,

as i began to walk i felt a small drop of water in my arms not realizing it was starting to rain, i ran over to side of the building continue walking the rain starts to get heavy and heavy, i waited on the side of the road to find a jeep to ride home, but they are all occupied because it's rainning while about 30 minutes now i decided to listen to music

*Sweerbox- more than you ever know*

As i feel the music a saw a familar face "is that andrie?" i whispered i focus on him to confirm it it was really him unfortunately he saw me, i look back and wish for an unoccupied jeep but warm hand grab my back i looked back to see only andrie smiling at me.
