Chapter 02

Yollane’s POV

“ Ya! Stop looking at me like that! It’s so creepy kaya!” I hissed and rolled my eyes.

Pabiro ko siyang binato ng unan. Well, we’re here in the living room, and my dearest bestfriend keeps on looking at me like para bang may ginawa akong masama. Like hello?! What did I do to him?!

“ Yollane, umamin ka nga. Did you plan this? Para mas mapalapit ka pa kay kuya?!” Agad nanlaki ang mata ko. How dare he?!

“ Ya! How dare you accused me like that! I didn’t planned this kaya! My Mom and Dad, together with my brother will go to other town kaya nakiusap sila sa parents mo na dito muna ako! Argh I hate you!” This time binato ko na talaga siya ng unan. He’s so annoying!

“ Whatever, bakit one month?!” Pinanliitan ko siya ng mata “ Bakit?! Ayaw mo ba ako dito?” This time, I’m the who’s accusing.

He sighed. “ Yes, I mean no—argh! I’m just worried okay?! Baka halayin mo ang kapatid ko.” He said na ikinalaglag ng panga ko. Wow ha.

I smirked, good idea bestfriend. “ I’ll think about that. Salamat sa idea.” Nakangisi kong sabi dahilan para manlaki ang mga mata niya.

“ What?! Are you freakin’ serious? Oh no, kailangan kong tawagan si Tita.” He said at umalis papalayo. Umirap lang ako, as if gagawin ko yun no! Yeah I have a big crush on his brother but hey, di ako aabot doon.

Minutes later pero di pa rin bumabalik si Haniel, tsk bahala siya. I just opened the TV and then palipat-lipat lang ako ng channel. Oh come on, wala bang matinong palabas ngayon?!

At dahil wala namang magandang panuorin, nagtingin-tingin lang ako ng mga pictures. Hmm, may pictures din pala kami ni Haniel na nakadisplay, we were 8 years old in the picture, I guess? I smiled when I saw some other pictures pa. Haniel was holding my hand while his right hand was holding a book. He wasn’t smiling at the picture but me? I was smiling from ear to ear. Oh so cute. I remember this day, this is my 10th birthday, I guess? Sa bahay namin to kinunan base sa background na kitang-kita ang luma naming bahay.

My Mom and Haniel’s Mom were highschool bestfriends kaya naman ang nagyari, naging mag bestfriend rin ang mga anak nila. My brother George Elton Vadney and Haniel’s brother became bestfriends. Tapos ito, naging bestfriend ko rin si Haniel Eavise Rapson.

“ Yollane? What are you doing here?” Para namang nagsikantahan ang mga anghel ng marinig ko ang boses ni Veynz. Agad-agad kong inayos ang damit at buhok pagkatapos ay humarap ako sa kaniya at binigyan siya ng matamis na ngiti.

Agad akong lumapit sa kaniya at yumakap, he hugged me back naman. “ Yollane? Bakit nandito ka na naman?” Kunot noong tanong niya pero, diko magawang sagutin siya dahil napatitig ako sa itsura niya. Omo! How can he be so handsome and at the same time so freakin’ cute? With his deeo dimples on his right cheek and pointy nose! Plus the thick brows, thick lashes and deep brown eyes?! Sweet Jesus! He’s a goddess!

“ She’s living with us kuya— for one freakin’ month.” I heard Haniel said. Nagtataka namang napatingin sa akin si Veynz.

I smiled playfully. “ My Mom and Dad wants us to live together, minus my bestfriend. They said mas makakabuti sa akin pag nagsama na tayo.” I joked, giggling. Narinig ko namang nagbuntong hininga si Haniel saka siya lumapit sa amin.
