Taming the Dying Girl

9.2

"Nag-away kayo?" Kuya asked nang makapasok siya sa kwarto ko

"Sinong nagsabi sayo?" Taka kong tanong. Well, alam ko naman kung kanino galing but I want to confirm it

"Secret"

"Missy"

He rolled his eyes. "C'mon! I'm a girl and alam ko na ang mga nangyayari kahit di mo sabihin"

"Tss"

"Kayo na?"

He smirked, trying to hide his shyness

"I-i don't know. I'm still trying to...you know? Approach her. She's younger than me kaya—-"

"So what? E si Edward nga magkasing edad kayo pero—"

Tae. Bunganga mo, Chan. Walang preno

"Why? Itutuloy niya talaga ung sinabi niya sa akin?"

"Sinabi na alin?"

Kanina ko lang nakitang magkasama si Edward at Kuya. Siguro nagkikita sila sa school

"Na...he wants to court you"

"Ha!" Napabuntong hininga ako.

"Yeah. He really said that"

"He should find someone else. Yung magtatagal"

Because of what I said, nanliit ang mata niya.

"Nag-usap kayo?"

"Yes"

"And? Care to explain?"

"Mahabang kwento..Uh...Medyo nagalit siya"

"Nakakagalit ka naman kasi talaga"

He laughed.

"Do you think I really have to undergo chemotherapy? I mean...bakit pa ako mag-aaksaya ng oras kung mamatay rin naman ako"

"Ge, bukas na tayo mag-usap. Mag-isip ka muna. Bye! Tawagin mo ko pag may masakit sayo"

I was about sleep when my phone beep

And my heart jumped for a bit when I saw his name

Edward

What the hell? Ganoon ba kalakas ang epekto niya sa akin?

No way
