"You're so weird." Athena said as I'm busy staring at the love of my life.
He's my one and only, I don't want anyone to be with him. He's only mine.
"Get lost." I replied.
"Bakit kasi ayaw mo pang lapitan?" Aniya habang naka-crossed arms at nakasandal pa sa pader.
"I'm sending my love to him by letters and sample blood by those who attempted to snatch him away from me." I just continued staring at him, then I felt a shrug.
"You really are weird. Got to go." I just nodded.
Yes, I give him blood. I want him to know that he's mine. And I want the girls to know that he's only mine.
"Oh, hey!" hindi ko namalayang nasa harap ko na pala siya. "Kanina ka pa ba nandyan"?
"Hindi naman, kakarating ko lang."
"So, uh, bakit ka napunta rito?" Hindi ko mapagilan ang sarili kong tumitig sa napaka-guwapo niyang mukha. Ang mga mata niyang mapungay, ang buhok niyang naturally brown. Ang kaniyang ilong na hindi gaano katangos pero sakto lang. Ang labi niyang mapula-pula. I want to taste that lips of his.
"Wala, ahh, gusto ko lang kasi na mapanood yung team niyo. Kumusta ang swimming team?"
"We're doing good, magsisimula na ulit ang practice namin. Do you want to watch?" I nodded my head then a smile was instantly plastered on my face.
I sat down on the bench kung saan malaya ko silang mapapanood. Then I noticed a group of girls sitting at the back of the column. They are cheering for Louis. My one and only. I stared at them, stared until they notice me.
Ngumiti ako nang mapukaw ko ang atensyon nila, ngiting hindi nila makakalimutan kapag hindi sila umalis dito at iniwasan ang Louis ko.
Agad naman silang umalis, I know na kilala nila kung sino ako.
An hour later, lumapit na si Louis sa akin. Lagi kaming sabay lumabas ng campus dahil lagi ko siyang pinapanood.
"You know what, there's this girl na laging nagpapadala ng letter sakin. Araw-araw sa locker ko, walang mintis." nagtataka niyang tanong habang naglalakad na kami.
"Oh? Baka obsessed sa'yo."
"At ang hindi ko maintindihan, bakit may mga dugo at pangalan ng mga babae. I don't know kung totoo 'yon or ketchup lang. Hahaha!" That's why I love you. You have great sense of humor, Louis.
"For sure, haha baka nga ketchup lang."
"Bakit kaya may mga ganon? Nao-obsessed sa isang tao, 'no?"
"Baka mahal ka lang talaga."
"Ikaw, ganon ka rin ba?" I went silent for about 20 seconds before I answered.
"Yes." I know that he was startled when he heard my answer. But now's my time to confess."I really like you, no, I mean I really love you, Louis."
He just looked at me with a shocked face, as if he's seen a ghost.
"I want you to know that you're only mine. Walang ibang babaeng makakalapit sa'yo kung 'di ako lang!"
"Kaya pala lumalayo na pati mga kaibigan ko! What are you doing?!" Dahan-dahan akong naglakad papalapit sa kaniya, at siya naman papalayo.
"I'm just making sure that you'll only fall in love with me. Sa akin ka lang."
