The Falling Game

“Let’s play a game,” he told me while smirking evilly.

I crossed my arms over my chest, “Anong laro nanaman ‘yan Lucas?”

Lumapit siya sa akin. Inches lang ang layo naming dalawa. “It’s called the falling game babe,” he whispered.

“Lumayo ka nga,” I shoved him away and glared at him. “Falling game? Is that one of your stupid games? Because, let’s make things clear Lucas Olivero, I am not going to play.”

He chuckled and stared at me amusingly, “But babe, hindi lang ikaw ang kasali.”

“Babe, babe ka jan. Will please stop that? And anong ibig mong sabihin?”

“Your friends, Tiffany and Avery, are also playing. But sina yung Max at Zac yung katapat nila whilst you’re mine,” he said – smirking.

I glared at him, “I am not yours, you stupid pig. And, again, ayaw kong sumali jan.”

“Afraid of falling in love Skyla?” he asked, raising his eyebrow.

“I’m not,” I muttered. Or so I thought, I added in my mind.

Lucas chuckled, “Then play it with me.”

I sighed in irritation, “Fine. But I want to put some conditions.”

“Let’s hear it,” he said.

“Paubusan ‘to ng lahi. Kung sino yung unang maubusan ng kakampi dahil na fall sa kaaway, may dare na ipapagawa. Deal?”

He stared at me for a moment then nodded, “Yeah, deal.” Then he walked away.

Sana lang hindi ako magsisi sa decision ko, isip-isip ko.
