KATHANG ISIP ( Ongoing )

Chapter 04

 

  I found myself lost for words when
  he said that to me! He was probably
  joking, right? He sounds like a jerk.
  A player, and I obviously won't buy
  that.

  Fortunately, we made progress so
  I did not meet or even talk to him
  for a few days. There's no reason
  for me to do so either. Although we
  had to meet later, but right now
  I focused on my friends for the
  meantime.

  “Jie, I composed a song. You think
  she'll like it?”, Ronnie handed me
  over a silver notebook with his
  compositions on it. He's a smart
  ass guy who plays instruments &
  writes his own songs, I would
  probably like him too. However,
  we're just friends so I'll back off!

  I could feel the sincerity through
  the lyrics, I knew he'd deliver it
  well with his emotions too. Dang,
  this guy went through alot with
  just one girl. 

  “Roses are red, violets are blue.
  If I'd write you a million songs.
  Would you like me too?”, I
  looked at him with a hint of
  confusion. What was he saying?
  He's just staring straight into my
  eyes!

  “W-what?”, I let out a small laugh.

  “Ah, I was practicing, idiot.”, he
  even poked me in the forehead as a
  sign of him teasing me again.

  “You know, her approval is not
  necessary. I'll let myself like her,
  even if it feels like she likes
  someone else already.”, he said it
  in a monotone but his eyes spoke
  for him. He's sad. I didn't know
  what to do.

  “Then so be it, Ronnie. Your
  feelings are valid. 'Wag mo lang
  hayaan sarili mo na makulong sa
  emotions mo. Lugi ka ‘pag ganun.
  Masakit.”, I said it truthfully.

  “You too. Don't let a guys actions
  or flowery words confuse you. I'll
  end up getting hurt.”, I gently
  punched his arms before laughing.
 

  “Practicing again, huh?”

  “No. This time, it's for real.”, what
  he said made me stay put. “Uh . .
  in general. Pati na rin sila Ali at
  Reagan. Kaibigan niyo rin naman
  ako. Kaya 'wag magpapakatanga.
  Marupok ka panaman.”, he smiled
  bitterly like he wanted to take back
  what he said. I didn't mind our
  conversations getting deeper. He's
  Ronnie, afterall. I had my whole
  trust with him. 

  It wasn't even halfway through our
  classes yet, but our genuine
  deeptalks made the time slower. I
  didn't know how we were able to
  talk in the middle of a discussion.
  Demonyo din kami, 'di lang halata!

  It was lunch time already, and I'm
  in the cafeteria with Ronnie and
  Alisha. Reagan had to deal with
  something urgent so she had to
  skip meals, if it wasn't an emergency
  I won't let her ass go there.

  “Omg! #3 is so stupid. How can
  he let him fall like that!”

  “Ouch. That must've hurt! Look
  how those people around him
  responded quickly!”
