The Cold Guy Likes Me

Chapter 6: LUCAS

*Lucas' POV*

I first saw Kennedy when William and I went to Drake's house. It was summer when she's aguing with her brother accross the street.

"Kuya Drake!" Sigaw ng batang lalaki.
"Hi Kian!" Sagot naman ni Drake at kumaway.
"My sister's here!"
"Hi sister!" Kumaway siya ulit

"Kian!" Tawag sa kanya ng babaeng sabi niya kapatid niya.
"What? I did the first move."
"Shut up! Get inside! Ako na naman mapapagalitan sa kakulitan mo."
"You're welcome."

"Bye kuya Drake!" Sigaw ulit ng bata.
"Isa pa Kian"

We heard them arguing and I just smiled remembering my older sister. Ganun na ganun kami noong mga bata pa lang.

After vacation I saw her again sa school. Pareho kami ng section. She smiles every day. Masayahin siya at bubbly.

"Kennedy!" Tawag sa kanya ng mga kaibigan niya.
That day nalaman ko pangalan niya. I used to not pay attention sa mga tao sa paligid ko. I love being on my own. Aside from Drake and William, I'm not comfortable with others.

From then on, I enjoy watching her everyday. I don't know why but I started to like her. Maybe dahil she brings possitivity.

I caught her doing something sa labas ng tambayan namin. When I opened the door andun siya gulat na gulat. I asked her what she's doing hindi siya makapagsalita. I saw a paper nakadikit sa pinto. I took it at binasa. My heart sanked. She likes Drake, my bestfriend.

"You're far from Drake's ideal type. Sa ayos mong yang di ka niya magugustuhan. Never."

Nasabi ko kanya. Masakit man I don't want her to pursue it. I don't want her to get hurt. Ayokong mawala ang mga ngiti sa kanyang labi because I know Drake is into Gwen.

The next day nag-eexercise ako sa treadmill. When I am done, I turned off the music in my phone at tinanggal ang airpods sa tenga ko. That's when I heard loud knocks sa pinto.
Kung sino man to gigibain na ata ang pinto.

"What?!"
Nasabi ko agad nang buksan ko. I saw her again. She's doing a favor for Drake's mom so I let her in.

Nakikita ko siya through the mirror sa harap ng treadmill. Halatang kinakabahan. I can't blame her rumors are spreading sa school about my personality. Well kahit ako kinakabahan ng araw na yun. Haha I don't know what to do and I remember I have to shower dahil pawisin ako. Nakaupo siya sa sofa kung saan nailagay ko ang towel.

The more I get closer, the more I feel nervous. She closed her eyes. I looked at her pretty face down to her lips. I want to kiss her but stopped my self. Too early Lucas.
I really scared her. When the door opens akala nila Drake and William there is something. I just leave it to them kung ano man iniisip nila.

That was the time they suggested to know her better. So we eat lunch with her and her friends.

She asked me why. I just said its a favor for her. Di ko sinabi kay Drake, I want to leave it to her. She thanked me. She smiled at me. First time yun na ang ngiti niya ay para sakin.

I like Kennedy, she likes Drake.
The reason why they hangout with us ay para sa kanya para mapalapit kay Drake.
The reason why I let it be ay para sakin, para mapalapit sa kanya. To make her notice me.

When they are here sa tambayan, dumidistansya ako. Di ko kaya makitang masaya siya dahil kay Drake. Naglalaro sila ng UNO cards habang ako ay naglalaro ng computer games.
They want me to join. Ayoko talaga but gave in nang hilain niya ko.

Ang ayoko mangyari, ay nangyari talaga. I lost. She was putting lipstick in my lips when I stopped struggling. Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya the whole time.
Ang laking kahihiyan sakin nun but I let it be 'coz her laugh is because of me.

She offered to help me erase the drawings. For the second time at the same day sobrang lapit niya. At sa pangalawang pagkakataon, I want to kiss her.

"You have a beautiful smile"
Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. Nagulat din sya.
She have the most sincere heart.

I don't want her to get hurt. It hurts me more.
