Third week of September 2018
I'm feeling quite down about Marco these days.
Patuloy padin naman ang pag uusap namin --but we never stepped that Estoya's line.
We've came up to the point where he's asking about my past: some guys who previously was linked with me, at kung nanligaw ba si Jacob sa'kin.
"May girlfriend yun e."
He also asked me about my feelings about his cousin, Mark Paulo, kung crush ko daw talaga siya or what.
Ugh! I don't know where to begin with. Because all of those stuffs are on my past now. Like, so long ago. Where, they no longer serve my feelings this present times. I assured him that its just a crush-thingy, tsaka elementary pa naman yun!
What just freaks me out, is the fact that Mark Paulo himself told Marco about that thing (na gusto ko nga daw siya). Ugh! Pweding di na niya sabihin?
Mag pinsan sila e!
I don't know. I lied at Robbie first nung high school na crush ko nga si Mark Paulo. E, that time I have a crush --which happened na crush din ni Robbie. And so, I just lied at him na, I like someone and his name is this, pulling Mark Paulo's name. Which turned out, Robbie searched for him! --which I didn't expect na gagawin niya!
I had a feeling na si Robbie ang nag sabi kay Mark Paulo na gusto ko nga siya (which, isa actually a lie after a lie --because Mark and I are totally friends, like really good friends way back elementary days) kaya di ko in-expect na aakalain niya talagang I had feelings for him that time.
In the end, hinayaan ko nalang.
I mean, it doesn't change a thing kung i-explain ko man ang sarili ko kay Mark Paulo, nor kay Marco; or even to Robbie himself.
"Nasaan ka?" Marco chatted immediately as soon as he saw my My day's on Messenger, it was a picture one of my classmates na halatang nasa luob kami ng jeep.
I don't feel to reply, kasi naalala ko na naman ang kwento ni Robbie kay Krystal kahapon. But I replied anyways.
Di ko talaga matiis. UGH!
"Aalis kami with the whole class" I replied.
"Saan punta niyo?" He replied without wasting the tenth sec. "Ung mga chocolates mo dala kona"
He surely do know how to give warmth in my heart.
Kanina lang may patampo-tampo pa akong nalalaman.
Oo nga. Bakit ako nag tatampo?!
I prepped him with our whereabouts. Baka bukas nalang din niya maiibigay yung mga chocolates; which he promised me last night.
Kagabi kasi bumisita mga tropa niya sakanila; he sent me a video of them waving at me via Messenger. Aforehand, he sent me a clip of them finishing a whole plate of chocolate cake using their bare hands.
His friends are actually sweet in a bully way. Madalas nilang asarin yang si Marco once they've caught him on the phone chatting me, or even mag kasalubong lang kami sa school. Madalas mang asar sakanila si Naoh, pero kapag naasar si Marco madalas nabubugbog si Patrick.

"Thank youuu!" I chatted.
"Sa wakas! Naibigay din," he said. "You're welcome"
"Nakana Eugene kami. Diba malapit lang yung bahay niyo rito?"
"Nakana Lola kami ngayon,"
"Dyan ka matutulog?" he asked, gabi na kasi.
"Yep."
"Sayang." He said. I don't know why I'm smiling right now!
"Pasensya na, iilan lang nabigay ko kanina."
They're actually sixteen pieces of Hershys. Di ko alam bakit ko sila binilang. I even took pictures of them, before and after ko silang kinain. For documentary, I guess?
"Hinihingi nga ng mga kasama ko kanina," I mention. Kasama ko sina Krystal at Emilee nu'n nung inabot sa'kin ni Marco ang naka balot na tsokolate. We we're walking on the side road on our way home nang madaanan nila kami. Silang tatlo sa iisang motor; Noah (the driver), Patrick (amidst), and Marco (on the edge of the back seat).
"Binigyan mo sila?"
"Hindi." I simply said. Nakiusap pa ako nang maayos para di na sila mang hingi. Marco gave that to me! I don't like sharing especially kung galing sa espesyal na tao.
"I've made an agreement to give the two Beng Beng (chocolate bar) instead."
"Bakit hindi mo sila binigyan? HAHAHAHA. Sabagay, kaunti lang mga 'yon."
"It is a gift. Pag sayo lang binigay, sayo lang."
"Ayieeeee naman. HAHAHAHA. Katouch" giving me that cringed smiling emoji.
"Dapat talaga marami dinala ko no?"
"Oo. 10,000 ata sinabi ko e?" I replied.
"10,000 daw HAHAHAHA ANG DAMI? AHHAHAHAH Grabi naman. 10,000 ba naman?"
"Give me one year." He said. "Basta ubusin mo lahat ng yon HAHAHAHA"
"One year mag iipon ako ng 10,000 chocolates. Hintayin mo lang."
"Kung ako siguro mag iipon di ko kakayanin." Sabi ko.
"Pa'nong mag iipon? E ang lakas mong kumain." he replied.
Kaasar.
