Henric Pov

A day after intrams should be very busy kasi iyong na final practice sa mga sayaw at activity and also sa mga
athletes naghahanda para sa kanilang laro sa intrams which is kinda exciting kasi I'll be watching and cheering for andrie like what he ask for, and also its rude to decline.

I've been dancing here on oval for an hour now grabe ang init sobra pero tiis lang muna para sa grades, i like Dancing pero under the sun? One hell of a no, when finally the final practice of grade 10 comes to end, dumiretso ako sa canteen and ask jannah to come along which she agree.

Habang nandoon na kami sa canteen nakita ko si andrie and his friend laughing i was thinking either to approach him or not i decided not to, ayaw kasing maglook na disperada needy ganern, while waiting for jannah to pick on what to eat, andrie saw me we made an eye contact i tought to myself na pupunta sya saakin upang kamustahin ako like he usually do.

Pero it wasn't what i think he would do, he just stared at me then wala parang wala syang nakita, which i totally understand probably he's scared na i tease siya nang kaibigan niya and i did the same pero it hurts me i don't know why...

The feel a sudden urge of sadness devours me, ikaw ba naman di pansinin nang kilala ko at naka close mo, i was over thinking again not knowing na tapos na pala si jannah mag decide nang kakainin niya "pastil nalang tayo?" sabi ni jannah, i look at jannah asking her what she just told me she told me again to get pastil, "yeah sure been craving to it din"

We decided to eat pastil nalang, and then go back to the classroom

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

Kaya as i sat down to my chair nang doon si sabastian nag lalaro sa cellphone niya, and me of course over thinking about what just happen earlier with andrie, sabastian on the other hand notice it na i was out of the world which he interrupt me from over thinking "uy ano iniisip mo?" he repeated that " i hear you" i said and it sounded as if i was upset "by the way i happen to have met andrie kanina which he told ma sabay daw kayo lunch"

Hearing those words made me happy and throw those negative things i've been thinking "ha? Pupunta siya dito?"
I said and he replied "hindi ikaw ang pupunta doon" i hesitate at First kasi ayaw kong pumunta baka i tease ako nang mga kaibigan niya "sge" i said sounded a bit happy.

When time comes na i really have to go and meet andrie sa oval where they been practicing all morning, my head turn left to right to spot andrie lucky i saw him with a number 13 number he was catching his breath i called him and wave, he saw me then smiled and went over sakin few of his friends followed him, as expected they tease andrie which made andrie say "shut up alis na kayo"

But they didn't they just stand there and staring at us like a bunch of idiots "balik lang ako magbibihis muna ako" which made me nod and wait for him, minutes has passed when his friends stares at me different and start talking of course i feel uncomfortable hate kasi when people talk about me, another friend of andrie run over to us and said "sya na yung?..." he stopped realizing na narinig ko and saw him pointed at me "what?" i asked which made him i mean them act more weird

Before he could say anything tumakbo si andrie sakin, grabe talaga ang timing ni andrie "tara na?" i agreed i can't help to ask andrie about his friend acting weird and why are they cheering at him like as if nag chcheer na prang jowa niya ako "wag mu nalang isipin talagang mga gago yan, oo i told them na Friend tayo pero di ko alam bakit ganyan ang trato nila na sayo" while laughing

I can't help but laugh and so on pumunta na kami sa karenderya it wasn't special
Or anything though we look like as if two best friend having a normal lunch,we finished eating and then went back on the campus, we were walking not a saying anything then he broke the silence and ask me na sabay kami uuwi mamayang uwian, and i agreed with my cheek blushing.

*****************************************
Uwian na yun jannah ask me to go home na sabay sya then i told her i was doing something, he look at me in a weird way na hindi ko mabasa "andrie?" she said which made me nod and to feel abit mortified"ay okay goodluck sa date mo, btw how was lunch with andrie" she said "how did.. Wait sabastian?" i said she just laugh and told her everything, she then wave her hands and said goodbye

I went to the oval it was 3pm already and the soccer team was still playing i sat down to one of the Concrete seat in front of the oval waiting for andrie. An hour passed still the soccer continues passed a minute andrie saw me and went over and told me to wait a little more which i nodded "great! Thanks for waiting" he run back to the field

It was 5 when the whole practice ends "sorry for keeping you waiting" he said in a apologetic way "no it was fine, you did great there" i compliment him he smilied and said "thank you" my heart began to beat faster we start walking and talk about things when he suddenly stop

"you're a good guy rick" he said

"yeah i know" i replied

"you know what?, i'd like to know more about you"

"di mo ba pala parin kilala?" i said

"i want you to know that i ain't straight" he said

"what do you mean by that" i replied

"I'm gay henric and i want you and i think i like you" he said in serious way

"ohh," i said

"would you allow me to know you better?" he said

I just smiled at him then start walking i was blushing that's why i start walking, "you know what you don't have to answer that now pero hope you reconsider" he said immediately change the topic when we are about to seperate to our own ways i randomly said "yes" he looked at me confused "what yes?" i reiterate "yes andrie i'd allow you to know me more" he widened his eyes all i can see was pure glee
On his eyes

I start walking alone home but i can't help feel bliss all over me, "what a hectic day" i said then went straight home

As i went home i can't help to feel happy and anticipated to tell k about it i dm her on twitter wait for an hour for her reply, but she didn't which made me worry cause she usually online on this time of the night, i was thinking probably she's busy.

But still i feel so happy.
