GIRLFRIEND (short story)

I Want To Be His Girlfriend

Everyday ginagamit ko ang charm ko sa kanya para akitin siya, JOKE! Para magustohan nya din ako. I can sense he likes me too; it’s just that he’s afraid of showing it. Yeah! Medyo makapal talaga ang face ko, and you can’t change that.

I saw CJ at the corner side in the library, reading a book. I always go to the library, it’s because I know its Cj’s favorite place. He loves to read books kasi.

I sit beside him, and open a magazine. Of course I don’t effin like a book to read, kaya magazine ang punulot at binasa ko. He didn’t notice me not until I talk.

“Hey! CJ, reading Harry Potter again?” I said in a low voice. Remember we’re inside the library baka mapagalitan na naman ako ng librarian. I always got scolded, kasi ang ingay-ingay ko.

O___o He looks at me, and gets shock.

Pero inis-nob nya lang ako. He looks back to the book he’s reading.

“Na iistorbo ba kita, I’m so sorry CJ. I just can’t help myself not to talk to you; I wish you response to my text messages.” I said as if nagpapa-awa. Lagi ko syang itinitext pero hindi naman sya nag re-reply.

“Yeah you are such a disturbance.” Sabi nya without looking at me, still focus on the book he is reading.

“You too, you’re a disturbance you keep on disturbing my heart.” I said like I was seducing with a pa-awa face again.

“Can you please shut up, you are so annoying.” He said this time he looks at me na nakakunot nuo.

This beautiful face! Annoying?!  Bulag ba sya.

“Okay, I’ll be shut up nah.” I said.

Pero bigla syang tumayo at lumipat ng upo-an. Geeesssh! He keeps on avoiding me. He is the only guy who’s avoiding my gorgeous presence.

THE NEXT DAY

Ayun, I saw CJ early in the morning surrounded by plenty of flirty girls. CJ looks so annoyed.

After a while umalis na si CJ for his next class maybe. Na iwan yung mga flirty girls don. Nilapitan ko sila, nang makita nila ako ay nag sitakbuhan sila. Yan ang effect nang pagiging war freak ko. All the students in this institution know that I super effin like CJ. Takot lang nila pag linalandi nila si CJ kasi binobog-bog at sinasabunutan ko talaga sila.

“What was that?” I asked in a super maldita way.

“Nothing, Miss Stacey.” One of the flirty girls said, trembling in fear.

“Really, why are you flirting with CJ huh?” I said, now in a loud voice while pointing each one of them.

“N—n—NO! We’re not flirting with CJ, Miss Stacey.” Sabi naman ni flirty girl number two.

“Really? So ano yung nakita ko?” I asked habang nakapamiwang.

“Ahh---ahh we are just asking when is his next car racing competition.” Sabing isang girl.

“Okay, so when is the car racing?” I asked.

“Tomorrow” They said all together.

Well, may car racing pala bukas. Always present ako sa lahat ng car racing na sinasalihan ni CJ to support him of course. I’ll be there tomorrow.

*CAR RACING

I’m in the car racing field waiting to start the event. Ang tagal, so I decided to check CJ in the private room. It’s a room exclusive only for the contestants.
