For the past few days, Darelle became extra sweet which really made me feel warm but at the same time uncomfortabe. Uncomfortable, not because I don't want him to be sweet but because, I can feel my heart raging every time he's doing something for me.
He always still joins me for lunch even though, he's busy with his training for the upcoming University meet which will be held five days from now.
Hindi rin naman ako umaangal dahil may parte sa akin na nais din siyang makasama. It's really complicating for me.
My mind is telling me to choose Anthony and just like him solely, because he's perfect. He will never do something that will cause me pain, but my goddamn heart is saying the opposite. It is convincing me to love Darelle instead of Anthony. I'm torn between listening to what my mind is telling me, and following what my heart desires.
Since that day that I confirmed what I really feel towards Darelle, I convinced myself to avoid him and I'm very thankful because it seems like the universe is cooperating with me because his schedule became hectic. He barely go to class for his coach told him to skip his class to prioritize his training, well, he's excuse tho.
I parked my car in the parking lot assigned only for the students as soon as I arrived at the school.
Pagkalabas ko sa sasakyan ay tinahak ko na ang daan patungo sa aming silid.
Habang naglalakad ay biglang may humawak sa balikat ko, dahil sa labis na pagkagulat ay buong lakas kong ihinataw ang aking kamay upang sampalin ang kung sino mang umakbay sa akin.
Laking gulat ko nang mamukhaan ang lalaki. Si Anthony na naman! Noong nakaraan ay pinilipit ko ang kamay niya, ngayon naman, sinampal ko siya.
I'm really stupid. Bakit kasi hindi ko muna inalam kung sino ang tao bago ako gumawa ng aksiyon?
Awang-awa akong tiningnan siya dahil hinihimas niya ang parte ng pisngi niyang sinampal ko. Alam kong malakas ang naging pagsampal ko dahil halatang-halata ang pamumula ng kanyang pisngi, lalo na at may kaputian siya dulot ng pagkakaroon niya ng lahing intsik.
"I'm really sorry for what I did. Ayos ka lang ba? Masakit ba?" I asked. Idiot! Of course it's painful. Namumula nga diba!
Nginitian niya naman ako. I felt guilty because he still manage to smile at me even after what I did to him. "I'm okay, don't mind it, it's not that painful," he answered. I know he's lying. I'm sure he just said what he said so I won't feel bad.
I touched his cheek. I felt him flinched so I quickly remove my hands. "I'm still sorry. Ikaw naman kasi e."
Narinig kong tumawa siya. "Nagsosorry ka ba talaga o sinisisi mo ako?" He asked me, joking around.
"Ah, no, no. Of course not, hindi kita sinisisi. Paano ba ako makakabawi sa iyo? Just tell me what you want me to do. I'd gladly oblige," saad ko.
He smiled at me again and gave me a look, as if asking if I'm really sure. "Just tell me, I'm really willing to do everything you ask for. Para, makabawi naman ako sa mga atraso ko sayo," I assured him.
"I'm actually fine, but if you insist, sabayan mo nalang ako maglunch mamaya, iyon ay kung ayos lang sayo. Don't worry, my treat." Sagot niya. 'Yun lang? Ang simple naman ng hiling niya, makatitipid pa ako sa gastusin. Pero hindi ba dapat ay ako ang manlibre dahil ako ang may atraso sa kanya?
"Seryoso ka? Sige sasama ako pero libre ko. Nakakahiya kasi talaga sa iyo e."
"I told you I'm really fine, right? So you don't have to worry about me. Just bring yourself. And one more thing, I don't let my date them pay for our food," aniya. Ano raw? Date? Inaaya niya ako magdate? Seryoso ba siya? As in date talaga?
