Jealousy isn't my thing. That's what I knew but, the moment my eyes laid on them, Julie's on top of him, lips are glued to each other's, strange feeling hit me. Really hard. My heart hurt for unknown reason.

Kesha and Lexie glanced at me with worry plastered on their faces. I gave them a small smile. Now that I think about it, I guess this is what they want to tell me. That I might still smiling a while ago and now but later on, I can be sad as this. Well, I did not see this one coming.

Sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam kung bakit ko nararamdaman ito. Yes, I admit it already. I am jealous. But why? That's the question. Frankly, me and Caius, we're nothing. We are absolutely not in a relationship. He's still courting me, is that considered as relationship, though? I guess not.

Wala pa namang 'kami' so I think wala ako sa lugar para magselos. Hindi ba? Bakit ka nga naman magseselos kung walang kayo.

Ewan ko na. Ang gulo. Basta, masakit. Masakit sa mata at sa puso ang makita silang ganoon ang pwesto. Gusto kong iiwas ang tingin ko kaya lang ayaw makisama ng mga mata ko. Tila gusto pa nitong manatiling nakatingin sa dalawa at pahirapan lalo ang sarili ko.

Hindi nagtagal ay nagsalubong nanaman ang tingin namin ni Caius. Naalarma ang buong pagkatao niya nang makita akong nakatingin. Sa hindi inaasahan, naramdaman ko ang pagtulo ng aking luha sa aking pisngi.

"Icah..." nag-aalala ang boses na narinig ko mula kay Kesha. Nilingon ko siya.

"Kesh, am I crying?" Para akong ligaw na kaluluwang nasa loob ng katawan ng isang tao dahil hindi ko namamalayan ang nangyayari saakin. Bakit bigla na lang may luha? Why am I suddenly crying? Huh?

"Bub," tawag ni Lexie. "Are you fine?"

"L-Let's go b-back?" My voice broke. Agad silang tumayong dalawa at hinila na ako pabalik sa mansyon. Rinig ko ang tawag niya saaking pangalan ngunit hindi ko na ito nilingon pa. I... I just... don't wanna see him.... now..

"What's wrong with me, Lex, Kesh?" I asked the two when we got inside our room. I sat in between them since they're both sitting at the edge. They look at me with sad eyes.

"You're jealous, aren't you?" Lexie's eyes narrowed a bit.

"Y-Yes, I know that,"

I heard Kesha let out a soft laugh. "Oh, girl. Nope, you don't. You just know the word but not the feeling. This is all new to you. The feeling is foreign which is acceptable because you haven't been into any relationship before."

Lexie joined her, too. "Ah, yeah, I forgot that you're still a baby,"

"What? I am not!" I protested. "You're the one who's childish here, Lex."

"We're not talking about that, Jeicah, but yeah, I agree. Lexie's the most childish among us three." She laughed. "But what I am saying is that, the reason why you suddenly teared up back there is because you're jealous and that jealousy made you feel like crying. I bet, your heart aches, too."

I nodded in surprise. "Paano mo nalaman?" Manghang sabi ko dahil halos lahat ng sinabi ni Kesha ay totoo.

Napasapo na lang si Lexie sa noo niya at saka tumawa.

"Pero.... guys, bakit naman ako magseselos? Iyon ang tanong ko. Wala namang kami kaya bakit ako nagseselos? Ayos lang ba 'yon?" Litong tanong ko sakanila.

Ibinagsak ng dalawa ang katawan nila sa bed kaya ginaya ko na rin. Kasalukuyan kaming nakatingin sa ceiling ng kwarto na akala mo nag sstargazing at may nakikitang mga bituin doon.
