Sa susunod

"Scarlett, are you sure that you're okay?" my brother asked when he knew that I was transferred to a new school because of our parents.

"Of course, I still need to adjust. Bro, that school was disgusting 'cause some of them were saying that I'm a mistress or so whatever," I rolled my eyes.

I heard him chuckle, "Why so girly attitude, Scarlett?"

"Duh? I'm from a girl school,"

"Baka naman magka-boyfriend ka sa bagong school mo, ha?" nag-duda pa nga.

"Mukha ba 'kong papatol sa kanila? As if," I rolled my eyes.

"Don't tell me you're a bisexual?" bahagyang nanlaki ang mata niya.

"No, I am not. And I'm not planning to, straight ako."

Pero totoo nga ang sinabi nila. Kahit ang ruler, hindi na straight.

At first, hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ba talaga ang nararamdaman ko. Of course, of course! First time ko yatang magka-crush sa babae!

Bawat galaw niya pakiramdam ko ay mahuhulog na 'ko, she's giving me a mixed signals! Hinaharot niya rin ako! Kaya sino'ng hindi mag a-assume na gusto niya 'ko?

But still, I didn't trust my instinct. Baka mali ako, baka kaibigan lang ang tingin niya sa 'kin.

Pero bawat galaw niya, para akong nakabantay! Even small gestures napapansin ko!

Elleah Solace. Slightly curled short hair, almond shaped eyes, perfect nose, flat eyebrows, and pinkish lips.

Damn it.

Hindi ako sure, nag aalinlangan ako sa nararamdaman ko. Baka kasi mamaya, nabigla lang ako. Siyempre, ayoko naman na masaktan siya.

So I really tried my best to avoid my feelings for her. But when I realize that I was just giving her a mixed signals, I admit.

Nahulog na 'ko. I fucking like her.

Every inch of her. I know I was being selfish because I want to sacrifice our friendship for love.

"Rylee, I like you. . ." she uttered softly.

I stiffened.

Bumilis ka-agad ang tibok ng puso ko. Hindi ko alam ang magiging reaksiyon ko dahil putangina, gusto ko rin siya!

Gustong gusto.

"Huh?"

I can't say anything but, "huh". Really?

"I. . ." she stuttered.

I bit my lower lip.

"I mean, I-I like your hair. Anong style ba 'yan?"

Natulala ako sa kaniya. What the fuck was that? Pinag ti-tripan niya ba 'ko?

Winaksi ko ang iniisip ko bago huminga ng malalim.

"Wolf cut," I gave her a small smile. Iniwas ko ang tingin ko dahil na di-distract ako sa kaniya.

I still don't know to feel for what happened earlier so I tried to message her on IG. But of course, my pride ass can't.

"Ma'am Scarlett, pinapatawag po kayo ni Mama niyo," our maid caught my attention.

Ano na naman ba'ng kailangan nila sa 'kin?

I sighed before changing my clothes into formal ones. Malamang ay papagalitan ako no'n kapag normal na damit ang suot ko.

I can't hate them though. But I'm afraid on what they can do to my life.
