He kissed my hand and I fought the urge to smile back.

I don’t want my bestfriend to see na may effect sa akin ang mga ginagawa ni Lance.

Lance looked up and winked before he walked away.

Shit! The feels!

Kinikilig talaga ako!!!

Ang hirap magpigil ng ngiti pag ganito!!!

“SO!” Seryosong sabi agad ni Ali. “What happened last night? Is there a progress?”

“Nothing much”

“What do you mean by ‘Nothing much’? You know, you should give me a detailed explanation----”

“Ali, chill. I got this, okay? Wala naman nangyari kagabi. I just sat at his bed the whole night”

Actually, we were cuddling until 11 pm.

We even took a nap together and then I went home.

“And?”

“Siya lang salita ng salita. Obviously he’s trying to make me fall in love with him, which by the way, will never happen”

Iniwas ko ang tingin ko sa kanya at nagpretend na nagtetext.

I really hate lying.

“That’s great!” Naglakad na kami papunta sa second floor ng tahimik.

Malapit na sana kami sa classroom nung nagsalita ulit siya at hinarangan pa ko sa daanan.

“Do you think I look stupid back there? I mean, with lance?”

“No---Okay, fine. Yes” Tatawa-tawang sagot ko. “Mukha kang tanga kakatitig sa kanya”

She groaned and even covered her face with her hands. “Nakakainis. Ang gwapo niya kasi! Kung ano-anong naiimagine ko like girlfriend niya na ko at naghoholding hands na kami or luluhod na lang siya basta sa harapan ko----”

“Stop it! This is insane Alisha!” I didn’t mean to sound angry but I am.

For a minute, nainis ako sa kanya dahil gusto niya si Lance.

I hate being jealous.

Pero nung nakita kong nagulat si Ali ay ngumiti agad ako.

I came back to my senses.
