Those Blurry Lines

Boundaries

Umuwi na kaagad ako pagkatapos kong bumalik sa loob. Inutusan ko si Jesther na ihatid ako sa bahay, which he immediately agreed.

Tapos na akong mag shower, magblow dry, at mag-apply ng skincare at ngayon ay humiga na ako sa malambot kong kama.

It's 12 AM and I still have an early class tomorrow so I should go to sleep already.

But I can't sleep.

Pilit na umiikot sa utak ko ang mga pinagsasabi ni Jackson. I kept on changing positions in order to be comfortable but I can't!

Inis akong bumangon.

"You're actually not my type but... you can be my crush."

Ginulo ko ang buhok ko. I even slapped my ears! My gosh, I can hear him saying it!

"Kinikilabutan ako!" inis kong sabi. "Ang cringy niya! Is he even aware?! My gosh, he's delusional!"

I stood up and closed the binders to turn the humidifier on. I stopped at the vanity mirror and examined myself.

"Wow, hindi niya raw ako type?! Look at my face, it's the epitome of beauty! Bulag ba siya?!" I frustratingly said out loud.

I angrily went to the bed and tucked myself under my sheets.

"Gusto raw sa mga babaeng palangiti. Ano 'yun, baliw? Baliw ba ang mga type niya?!"

I crossed my arms and furrowed my brows as I looked at the ceiling. Ano bang klaseng 12 AM thoughts ito!

Is he a member of the cringe department? Is he the president?

"You looked so beautiful when you smile. Try wearing it everyday."

"Oh my gosh!" I groaned and hid under my sheets.

In the end, I dreamt of him. It's like a rapunzel kind of story but he's the one inside the long tower and I was the one asking for his hair!

Kaya naman umagang-umaga ay badtrip na ako. Nakakabanas lang!

"O, parang may bagyo yata ngayon, ah, hehe," Yumi joked.

Matalim ko siyang tiningnan kaya yumuko na siya. I still got chills whenever I think of Jackson!

Bakit ba hindi gumamit ng condom ang mga magulang niya?!

Nasa may wrappies kami para mag lunch pero mukhang wala yata akong gana. Hindi matanggal-tanggal sa utak ko 'yung nakakarinding panaginip.

"O, parang masama yata ang panahon ngayon," Maybel said and sat down.

She started to place her foods. Magkatabi sila ni Yumi sa harapan ko.

Halos torturin ko na 'yung manok gamit ang tinidor. I was controlling my temper. Hindi pa nakatulong ang minor subject kong nagfe-feeling major.

"Hi, Lois," somebody appeared in front of us.

Naka-glasses siya at ang ayos ng buhok. He's wearing a checkered polo and slacks. His fashion is so... outdated.

I did not recognize him. I think it's my first time to see someone like him. To be honest, his choice of clothing disgusts me.

I only raised a brow when he smiled shyly.

Inayos niya ang kwelyo niya. "Uh, may sasabihin sana ako sa 'yo..."

Nagkunot-noo ako. What joke is this? I looked at Yumi and Maybel but they were just as clueless as I am.
