Right after that incident, I became more awkward with Axcel. He didn't spoke to me either. We treat each other like air. He was like a new classmate I don't want to have a conversation with during the whole class or an acquaintance I don't want to meet again. The awkwardness pains me.
It feels like were back to day 1 when he used to tell he's just here for business.
And I don't know, there's this weird feeling in me that I prefer this kind of treatment now from him. I feel more comfortable when he's away.
What happened to me? I thought I like him? I should be distant with him. I should be liking what happened between us last time.
"Okay ka lang?" Nilapitan ako ni Sky at sinamahan dito sa mataas na bahagi ng bleachers. We were at the raceway again. Ang iba ay abala magtest out ng cars na kanina ay kararating lang. Tumungo pa ako rito para makalayo kasi akala ko kasama si Axcel kanina pero wala naman pala. Maybe he's with busy testing his skills out for the upcoming Stade Royale. He's the representative afterall and yes he was supposed to be busy now. "Wala ka na naman sa sarili mo." Dagdag pa ni Sky kaya nabalik ako sa sarili.
"Sky," I paused, hesitating. Sumipsip siya sa iniinom niyang iced coffee at inangat ang magkabilang kilay. Naghihintay lang siya sa susunod kong sasabihin. "What if the person that you like starts to show signs that he likes you too?"
"I'd be very happy of course." Sagot niya nang hindi man lang pinag-isipan. "Why? What's with the sudden question?"
"But then you started to feel that... you're not very into him because you feel awkward nnow. Anong gagawin mo? Anong dapat maramdaman kapag ganito?" I ignored his last words and continued asking. I feel like Sky is the perfect person to ask him about this even though he still haven't experience being in a relationship like me. He's just smart. He always know what to do. At isa pa, ayaw ko ng pahabain ang pag-ooverthink ko. That's not healthy.
Sky stared at me like I wasn't the usual Erie who's speaking. Well, it's true because I don't usually ask him things like this. Kahit nga ako naninibago sa sarili ko. Hindi ko naman pinag-iisipan ang mga ganito dati.
I haven't been in love yet. It's always happy crush or pure admiration.
And crushes aren't supposed to be complicated like this... right?
"Well maybe they're not really into that person. They don't want to commit with that person. Parang happy crush lang gano'n."
I see... katulad nga ng iniisip ko.
Pero nag-exert ako ng maraming effort para kay Axcel tapos happy crush pa rin ang tawag do'n? Parang ang labo naman.
What's a true love then?
"This was all about you, right? And was it Steer?" He finally asked.
I bit my lower lip and nodded. There's no point of denying this. And why is he even asking? As if namang hindi ko kinukwento sa kaniya ang nararamdaman ko kay Axcel.
