When The Spring Falls

WTSF 05 - Spring

Reese's POV

"You remind me of spring. Beautiful and sweet. I never know why, but for me, you're like the falling sakura flowers every spring season.

So whenever I look at you, it's like I'm falling.

Yeah. I think I'm falling for a spring flower like you."

Spring huh..

"I like you Reese. Please give me a chance."

Warm. Gentle.

"I don't like a local and playboy like you."

Cold. Harsh. Distant.

"Please give me a chance. Let me prove to you my feelings right from the beginning."

Broken. Lonely.

"I said NO. Hindi mo ba alam kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng "no"? Alright, it's HINDI. A big, flat NO."

Yeah. I don't like a playboy like you. I really... don't.

"I will do everything for you, Rhina. Please, let me—"

"HOY GISING."

A loud voice made me scramble up, while in the process of getting up I heard a loud thud.

It was me, who fell actually.

"Oh, buti gising ka na, mahal na Sakura."

I jolted up. SAKURA!?

I turned to whoever called me Sakura, it was ate Reigne.

Kinusot ko ang aking mga mata.

"What do you mean by Sakura? The flower? Or the animated character Haruno Sakura?"

She smirked at me, to which I returned with a glare.

"Probably *wink* you. Lol. Anyways! I got the gist of Haru's plan."

Napantig ang tenga ko pagka rinig ko sa pangalan ng walang hiyang kupal na kapitbahay namin.

"Ugh. Enough of that damned idiot." angil ko.

Pagka uma-umaga yan agad ang bungad? Aba! Sino ang hindi masisira ang araw?

"To be frank Rhina, he's—"

I didn't let her finish what she's about to say.

Instead, I pinched her chubby cheeks while responding to her statement.

"He's a playboy. A local and a playboy. I'd rather chase the great and handsome Rosh Alistair Le'Vamuievos or probably Park Siegmund instead of someone like him."

"Bwut wou wike wim."

She insisted something, like proving her point, but it sounded gibberish to me.

I nonchalantly let go of her cheeks and looked straight in her eyes.

"Come again?"

"But you like him. That's what I said, and oh, my cheeks hurt! Damn youuuuu!"

I sighed.

"Ate? Come here. Look at me straight in my eyes while I tell you something."

To which she happily obliged.

"I don't like the playboy next door. It's a no." I said, as casual as I can.

"Yeah whatever Ms. In Denial. Nice try but no."
