"Amh.. lets go?" he awkwardly said.

Ghadd! What have i done to him.I smile and nod as a reply. Our class just ended a while ago.

I turn my gaze at the science park where my friends are sitting comfortably while gesturing me to go. I gave them a thumbs up before following Kane.

Hindi pa kami nakakalayo sa sci park when i heard a teasing galing kina Daniel. They're sitting not so far kila Angie. Hindi ito pinansin ni Kane but i gave them a smile. Then we continue walking.

"I.. amh really sorry! Di ko talaga alam na ganon ang mangyayari. Im really sorry!" He suddenly said. I look at his eyes and i saw guiltiness in it. My heart warmed.

"Ano kaba! Okay lang noh! Just dont do that again, yung di mo nalang ako pinapansin"  kasi nakakabaliw sigaw ng isipan ko.

Yumuko siya tapos tumungo. His so cute i giggled. He mumbled something pero di ko na narinig dahil sa ingay galing sa mga vendors.

"Nandito na tayo! Libre mo ha?" Dali-dali naman itong tumungo.

He motioned me to wait sa gilid and then he ordered. When he got back to where i was, may bit-bit na syang dalawang supot na plastic and on his other hand the two bottles of coke mismo.

My brows furrowed.

"Hindi tayo kakain dito?" He nod, binigay niya sa akin ang isang bote nang coke then he gathered the plastic cellophane with the bottled coke in his other hand, then he hold me with his free hand and drag me somewhere.

"San mo ako dadalhin? ui?" Tinawanan nya lang ako at patuloy parin siya sa pag hila sa akin.

I look around, trying to figure out kung saan niya ako dadalhin and i guess sa bay walk. Tinatahak kasi namin ang daan papunta don.

When we got there i was greeted by the breeze of the sea. The horizons color was mixed by the sun set, that made me breathless.

I look at the other side and saw some freshmen students with their friends playing their hearts out.

I look at Kane whose now comfortably sitting in one of the benches on the Bay walk. I sit and look at the beautiful horizon.

Hindi talaga ako magsasawang tignan ito.

"Im sorry Czah for what I've done" panimula nito.

I turn my gaze on him at sinalubong naman niya ito na may pagsisisi sa mga mata.

"You know what? para na akong mabubuwang sa kakaisip kung ano bang nagawa kong mali bakit hindi mo ako pinapansin then only to find out katuwaan lang pala? It hurts yah know...but its okay na i just over reacted lang talaga that day, kaya sorry din" i look at him with a smile on my face.

"I know that was sick of me... kaya pasensya na" sabi nito habang nakatanaw sa karagatan.

"Ano ka ba okay na nga yon no!" Sabi ko habang tumatawa.

He smile at me then he open the plastic cellophane and gave me the combo he brought. Then we eat silently.

"I like you!" My face flushed. I just can't hide it anymore.

He stilled and look at me.

"W-What did you say?"

He was stunned by the sudden confession. I look in his eyes trying to read what's on his mind.

"I said i like you!" My face heated more.

Tangina paulit-ulit?

Dun na nya nabitawan ang stick na hawak niya kanina habang kumakain ng combo.
