I WILL forever thank the heavens for letting those happen. That change that I never thought would happen changed my whole life, in a positive way.
Somehow, I started to hate the stability.

I'M RUNNING out of time. Nagmamadali akong lumabas ng room matapos namin check-an ang test papers namin. Ayhana tried to call me, but I did not look back.
Mukhang sana, hinintay ko na lang si Ayhana. Sana, lumingon ako sa kaniya pabalik. I could be a little late sa pupuntahan ko ngayon, basta 'wag ko lang siyang makasalubong.
Pero tsanggala. Malupit talaga ang pagkakataon. If this thing called destiny is playing games with me, then I don't!
Okay sana kung si Jared, e! Okay na okay! I can ignore him for a lot of times, I can reject him for a lot of times, I can still be friendly given those situations! Pero heto? Hetong nasa harapan ko ngayon? Ay, gusto ko na lang magmura.
The wind blew hard, as the sky starts to dim. A guy, wearing his grey hoodie, and grey sweatpants. Simple lang ang damit niya but it looked good on him because of his long legs and nice proportion. His eyes brightened up when he saw me, and his Adam's apple moved up and down. His pale skin looked good on him, as his square face matched with his today's hairstyle. His medium length hair is pushed back, which emphasized his fair clear forehead skin and his chinky deep eyes.
It felt like a blessing. Or a bad luck in disguise.
His pale pink lips plastered a cute smile, which made his eyes gone. Ang cute.
What...
Whatever. It's the truth.
Kaya minamalas ako, e. Bakit sa lahat ba naman ng makikita ko ay 'yong kaya akong pigilan?
Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at nag-iba ng direksyon.
Sobrang bagay sa kaniya ng uniform nila! Gray vest, gray slacks, and long polo made his skin look brighter. Kahit hindi na ako nakatingin sa kaniya ay naaalala ko pa rin kung gaano bumagay nang sobra ang damit sa kaniya. I also took note of his blue ID lace: having ABM on one side, and Lazandro International School on the other.
Hah. Made me remember that one time no'ng Grade 10 ako. Swimming competition for our PE subject and for some reason, I won against a varsity from another section. Then, a student from LIS asked me to be her rival, to which I refused. I don't need one. My rival is myself and my past achievements.
Tsaka, tsamba lang naman 'yon. Kung hindi lang malakas ang braso at binti ko dahil sa main sports ko, hindi ako mananalo ro'n.
At isa pa, I don't really swim. Why would I?
"Akhi!" Shouts Blard, running to my way.
Damn.
Kailangan ko pang pumunta ng airport, please lang.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit tanga ang katawan ko, at kumikilos ito nang hindi naaayon sa gusto ko. My head immediately turned towards him, acting like a reflex. Ever since that afternoon happened, alam kong may nagbago na. I let him take a peek inside the world of mine which was surrounded by thick walls the time I attended his party, but when I cried on his shoulders the way how I always used to, the hidden door was finally open.
