The Way You Look At Me (VA Series 2)

"Oh my gosh! Did he actually said that?" Excited na sambit ni Irene.

Nandito kami ngayon nina Jessica and Irene sa Starbucks. We decided to meet kasi these past days, madalang nalang kaming nagkikita. Although palagi ko namang kasama si Jess pero si Irene may ibang ganap dahil kasali siya sa Volleyball tournament.

Wala rin naman kaming ganap ngayon cause it's Saturday and we are not advised to come to school. Next week na rin ang championship and I really hope for the best na makapasok sila Ryseann. I know kayang kaya naman niya lalo pa't nakita ko kung gaano siya kagaling maglaro.

And no matter what happen, I'll be always here to support him in victory and defeat.

But gosh!

What he said yesterday was still stuck in my mind! He actually confessed that he like me! Gusto na niya ako!

Dati nagpapapansin lang ako but now, may gusto na siya sa akin.

Well, I do like him too pero hindi ko pa din nasasabi sa kanya.

I'm afraid of how he will react. Or what will happen next. I don't have any idea of the consequences that is bound to come but gosh, kung doon nga ito papunta, I'm still not allowed to have a boyfriend!

I mean, we can hide it but that is so heavy and hard! I may not be able to handle it!

Gosh! I am overthinking again! Wala pa man, nakaabot na sa kabilang dimension ang isipan ko.

"Yeah. He said he like me." I answered casually while sipping on my drink.

"So how did you respond?"

"I wasn't able to respond kasi Kuya Nando arrived. And kung sakaling hindi man, I still don't know how to react! What does a girl usually say upon hearing a confession?" Naguguluhan kong tanong sa kanila.

"Do you like him ba?" Jessica asked.

"Uhm... yeah. I do like him."

"Oh ayun naman pala! So what's stopping you to confess your feelings as well?" Jess asked.

"The consequences, I guess?"

"Like?"

"Anong mangyayari kapag nag-confess ako sa kanya? I am afraid cause my Dad and my Kuya is so strict. I can't have a boyfriend before legality."

"Girl, you're overthinking too much. Face your feelings first before you become sorry later. Then deal with your dad when everything become stable. Kapag pareho na kayong handa."

Tumango ako sa binigay na advice sa akin ni Irene. Well, she has a point. Siguro nga, kailangan ko nang harapin ang feelings ko para kay Ryseann. Alam ko namang as time goes by, hindi ko rin maitatago ang nararamdaman ko.

I mean, obvious naman ako sa feelings ko nang napakadalas pero iba pa rin kasi kapag alam niya.

Kapag alam niya na gusto ko rin siya.

ryseantos: I'm here now. Where are you?

rishrivera: Okay. We're at SB. :)

ryseantos: Sige. Antayin mo nalang ako.

Magkikita kasi kami ni Ryseann today before he go straight to their football training. May laban sila sa Monday and Wednesday and that will dictate kung makakapasok sila sa finals on Friday.
