Destructing The Flame's Deception

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

I don't know exactly what I felt at that time. Before they began to play the game, he just looked at me while smiling. Hindi tuloy ako maka-focus sa pag-chicheer sa kanila.

In the end, they won the game and they will represent the whole university again next school year.

"Ganda ng mood ni captain, ah!" 

"Siguro nandito 'yong tinutukoy n'yang special someone niya!" 

Narinig ko iyong mga kantyaw ng kaibigan niya. Nagulat naman ako nang mapatingin sa'kin si Silas. Nagpupunas lang siya ng pawis niya at pagkatapos ay tinanggal ang suot niya sa pang-itaas, leaving him topless.

Halos takpan ko ang tainga nang marinig ang sigawan ng mga audience dahil kay Silas. Hindi ko namang mapigilang matawa sa kanya.

Then suddenly, he threw his jersey shirt… and it unexpectedly landed on me kaya wala na akong nagawa kundi saluhin iyon.

I was so shocked. Napatingin agad sa'kin ang mga team mates niya at agad akong inasar kay Silas. My cheeks immediately turn red because of the embarrassment I am getting right now.

Naabutan ko naman si Phoebe na matagal na nakatingin sa'kin kaya agad kong nilapag sa sahig ang jersey shirt ni Silas na nasalo ko.

Tyson. 04.

Days have passed, hindi ko pa rin naaayos ang mga gamit ko sa lilipatang condo dahil mas'yado akong nabusy sa finals. Finally, last na talaga ito, then I will turn second year college next school year.

Todo ang focus ko sa pag-aaral. I need to study hard. Hindi puwedeng may maibagsak akong subjects. I will just disappoint myself if that will happen.

Madaling araw na yata pero gising pa rin ako. Nandito ako sa study room nila Silas. Nilock ko iyon para kung sakaling pumasok man ang magulang nila Silas, hindi nila agad ako makikita.

I heard a knock, that's why I immediately stood up. Narinig ko ang boses ni Silas kaya agad ko iyong binuksan.

"Hi, am I bothering you?" he asked.

I shook my head. "No, patapos na din ako sa pagrereview."

I saw him peek at a sight inside the study room. It's such a mess. Nagkalat ang mga papel doon pero aayusin ko din naman iyon. Medyo nakakahiya nga lang sa kanya at naabutan pa ako sa lagay na 'yon.

And hell, I probably looked like a zombie right now. Wala pa akong skincare. Malamang, sobrang lalim na ng eyebags ko ngayon.

I want to look in the mirror. I suddenly felt conscious around Silas. Pakiramdam ko, hindi niya dapat ako makita ngayon na mukha akong zombie.

But why am I conscious at all? It's not like Silas would even care, right? I shouldn't care about how I look in Silas's eyes.

Because… Why would I even think such things like that?

It's not that I have a crush on him, that's why I'm getting like this.

No, of course not. It was way too impossible.

I just like him as a friend. He has treated me kindly ever since. He's my boy bestfriend, my savior that was always there for me when I needed him, a savior that is willing to protect me no matter what.

And that's what best friends are for.

Kumbaga sa isang relasyon… it was all platonic.

"I bought you some coffee. I noticed that you're not getting enough sleep these past few days." he told me.
