Want To Want Me

-2-

I wasn't able to sleep properly last night. I only had 4 hours of sleep and woke up around 9 am sa kakaisip na mag cha chat ulit siya sakin so after fixing my bed I hurriedly turned my phone on to see if he really did send me a message. I wasn't disappointed when I saw his name na may message for me

Hoes
Xeni: good morning hoes

Elijah Castillo
Good morning

Para hindi mahalatang gusto ko siyang kausapin inuna kong replyan ang group chat naming magkakaibigan.

Barbara: ay di naman halatang good morning mo sis

Xeni: hoi may chika? Bat di ko alam ha. Kwento naman jan.

Barbara: uwi kana kasi dito sa City sis. Visit ka nalang sa hacienda niyo HAHAHAHA.

So kwenento ko uli sa group chat namin ang nangyari kahapon at syempre yung conversation namin kagabi pero di ganun ka detalyado.

Tumawa ako sa reply ni Xeni. Nag vibrate ang phone ko kaya chineck ko ang notifications

"Ay shets di pa pala ako nakapag reply kay Elijah"

Elijah Castillo

Good morning

Hey? Gising ka na?

Allyson Valdez

Hey, I am slr. I was talking to my friends.

We talked and talked until he bid his goodbye because he needs to attend his online classes. Their school held their online classes earlier than ours. Since I don't have classes yet I was just reading some romance books and scrolling on Facebook for some good memes.

It was already night and I was expecting for him to message me again since he left my message on seen. Hours pass by and I still haven't received a text message from him. Around 3 am I decided to go to sleep cause I know he won't text me anymore. For the last time I checked my phone.

"Still no message huh, ang tanga ko parin pala sayo Elijah." I put my phone on my side table and decided to sleep instead of waiting for him.

I can still remember how stupid I am at kung gaano ako ka martyr pagdating kay Elijah. I was in my 2nd year in jhs and he was in he's 3rd year jhs, he was an athlete in our school di pa siya lumipat ng school nun.

Every volleyball game that will be held inside our campus I would always watch it. Halos mawalan na ako ng boses kaka cheer sa team ng school namin lalo na kay Elijah. For me he's the best among them, he's my star player, my MVP. I'd cheer for him as if it's his last game.

One time I gathered my courage and asked him for a picture and I treasured that photo of us. In my 2nd year Elijah and I became close to the point he knew all my problems. He was my human diary.

Everything changed when he confessed that he has this little crush on me. Humingi siya ng pabor sa akin na kung pwede sana ay wala pa ring magbago sa pakikitungo ko sa kanya at syempre dahil mabait ako ginawa ko yung pabor niya.

Months passed since his confession and I'm starting to feel something for him too. I started treating him more than a friend. Sinabihan ko ang mga kaibigan ko at syempre di naman mata tahimik lang ang mga yun kumalat sa classroom namin na gusto ko si Elijah.

My classmates tease me every time na he'll pass by sa room namin they will start shouting "oy Ally si Elijah oh" "ehem Elijah single si Ally" "Elijah! Elijah! Si Allyson oh" and Elijah being a nice guy will only smile which will make my classmates squeal.

One night we were talking about our crushes. He said he already knew that I have a crush on him which didn't surprise me since he has a lot of connections to know about that issue.

"Ally I have this crush on someone you know" his message made me blush cause it was also a talk of the campus that Elijah has a crush on me.

"Who's the lucky girl then?" i replied smiling

"You know her, sure ako dun."

"Sino nga pabitin ka pa eh" my hopes were high that he'll say my name but I should've listened to the quote "Never have high hopes for this comes with great disappointments."

"Kilala mo naman si Paula diba? Yung cousin ng barkada mong si Maeve. Ang cute niya kasi. Can you help me to ask her out?"
