If You Stay

"If you don't like me, just say it." Batid ni Illya na pinipigilan na maluha.

"Yes, I don't like you. I don't like the way you annoy me. I don't like you being around me. And I don't like you in any way. So please leave me alone." Direktang sabi ni Fell na nakangisi pa.

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at napailing. Bakit ba ako napasok sa ganitong sitwasyon?
Lakas loob kung sinalubong ang mga mata niya. Those deep eyes, usually soft but when it comes to me it's different. It's boredom and resentment. Those charming smile always faded when he look at me. Maybe, just maybe it's better off to just admire him from afar.

"Okay. " sabi ko saka ngumiti at tinalikuran siya. Pinigilan ko ang mga luha ko. Since this is my first rejection it hurts a bit. But I'm strong and I won't waste my tears for a guy. As if!
I won't force myself to him. Hindi lang naman siya ang lalaki sa mundo. And it's just a little crush right?

"Okay? That's it?" He's a bit confused.

Nilingon ko siya.

"Well yeah, madali naman akong kausap." Shit ang gwapo parin niya. "We can't be friends right? So strangers?"
