Chapter 18

Hindi ako mapakali sa aking kinauupuan dahil sa message na 'yon. Why am I acting weird? What's happening?

After I read that message my heart start on pounding so fast so I am asking myself if I have a heart conflication?

I'm not like this on the guys I had before. My heart is not like this when I'm with them. But now, it's weird so I don't have any idea about this weird feeling.

Did he just make me blushed with just an emoji? Is that a kiss? Why did he send me a kiss emoji? Argh, my mind is in a chaos right now because of that guy!

Why am I thinking him, anyway?

Get your ass out, Xyrelle!

Hindi ko na ito pinansin at hindi na ‘din ako nagreply sa message na 'yon. Natulog na lang ako hinayaang dumaan ang mga araw na dumaan.

"Girl, sayang talaga! Wala ka no’ng tinanong niya ako about do’n!" ani Riane at tumili.

Today is the day when we are going to the designer botique to look for our dress. Riane obviously excited about it. She had a partner na, because one of his crush invited her to.

Landi talaga. Daming crush ah?

"Wait..." hinarap ko, "Sa dami dami mong sinasabi sa’king crush mo, sino do’n?" takang tanong ko.

"Yung piloto girl!" sabay tili, "Shit..." paypay niya sa sarili niya.

Napairap na lang ako sa kaartehan ng babaeng 'to. Apaka daming alam. Oh well, I don't give a damn on her partner. For me, it's fine if I go there alone.

Madaming nagtatangkang magtanong but I don't want it.

Gusto kong magisa lang, sanay ako. Wow, super independent, Xy.

That made me sad. It's fine if I don't have a partner, but it's fine for me also if I have. I'm just testing them if they will try their patience for me to accept their invite. But none. No one, dare.

Binatukasn niya ako kaya napabalik ako sa wisyo, "E ikaw bang babae ka? No other plans on accepting those guys invitation?"

"Uh, none?" napasimangot siya, "They just want to be with me, I mean, err, basta. I don't have plans yet..."

Napaisip siya at nanliliit ng mata sa akin, " Hey... S-si dabid ba... h-hindi ka pa t-tinatanong?"

Napakunot ang noo ko, why would he?

Some part of me, expecting that he would  invite me. Though, why would I expect him? What are we? Siguro kaya hindi pa ako nagaaccept ng invites nila kasi may inaantay pa ko?

Even though I said that I will go there alone, I want someone to persuade me to come there with partner for me not to feel lonely. And that is him.

But days go passed and he didn't even show his face to me so I conclude that there's no him that will invite me? Right...

"And why would he invite me?" kahit gusto kong sabihin na yes! You are right Riane, why he didn't dare to invite me?

"You mean... hindi ka pa nga niya iniinvite?"

I shook my head, "Baka may ibang partner na siya?" kahit dismayado sa naisip ay hindi ko na pinahalata at baka mamaya ay tuksuhin pa ako nito.

"No he won't do that!" mabilis na depensa nito. "Baka wala lang siyang courage to ask you permission? Afraid might be?"

Tumawa ako, "Uh nah, that's not him if he's shy..." tawa ko pa rin, "Lakas lakas ng loob niyang manlandi tapos wala siyang lakas ng loob? Ew..."

Napatawa rin siya dahil sa sinabi ko, "Sabagay... but later ha? After class, bibili tayo ng dress."
