"Pumasok ka na!"

Nakakainis itong lalaking ito, kanina ko pa pinapapasok, ang tagal pa. Akala mo kung sino na special e. Linapitan ko ito bago sinagad ang pagkakasara ng pinto.

Our schoolmates are looking at us dahil kakatapos lang ng breaktime at wala pa yung subject teachers nila kaya nakatambay yung iba sa corridor.

Ang sarap niyang sabunutan. "Wala ako diyan kapag may nag-ikot na admin ah?" saad ko.

Badtrip na nga ako kanina dahil may nagtanong kung puwedeng manligaw. Nang tanggihan ko, nagalit ba naman? Wow ah?! Parang hindi ako mabubuhay na walang bulaklak at chocolates galing sa kaniya.

May mga lalaki na girlfriend ang hanap, may iba na para lang masabi na may karelasyon. At this age, no one is serious.. that's how I observed the way this works with my classmates.

They are just boys.. boys who are apparently strangers to me. They don't contribute or mean something significant in my life and that's how it works. People come and go, some stay, but you won't be able to remember most of them as you grow.

Maliban lang sa isa..

Akmang babalik na ako sa classroom nang may humatak sa akin bigla. I was in my defense mode when I saw who that was. He was wearing the usual white polo with the embroidered school logo, name cloth, ID, dark green colored loose tie, and slacks with the same color. Siya ang nagtanong tungkol sa panliligaw.

Anong trip nito?

Tinignan ko ang isang lalaki na hindi ko naman kaklase at nagulat nang hatakin niya ako papunta sa dulo ng corridor ng elementary and high school building, sa parte kung nasaan ang hagdan at wala namang dumadaan at makakakita dahil nasa pinakamataas na kami na floor ng building at nasa klase ang mga tao.

Kiss

He kissed me aggressively at agad akong tumugon. I felt his hands grab my hands and he guided those to cling on his nape. The boy pressed his body against mine and bit my lips.

against my will..

"Bakit ba ayaw mo?" the boy asked, looking at me intently.

I have several reasons why I don't want to commit, but the main reason is that I don't want to make the same mistake. I don't want to give him false hopes.

Ayokong magkamali muli

Matalim ko siyang tinignan matapos kong itulak nang may pagkalakas. "Huwag mong aasahan na bibigyan kita ng atensyon pagkatapos nito."
