CATCH ME [COMPLETE]

EVERY LITTLE THING

"ano bang nangyayari sayo?" bigla naman niyang tinanong. "ang weird mo these past few days. after lang ng break, you're so cold to me. tell me, Elise," nilapit niya yung mukha niya sa akin. "look at me." ayoko. "look at me, or i'll kiss you." napatalon naman ako bigla sa banta niya. "hahahahahaha." tumawa na lang siya bigla. namula na man ako. "haaaay Elise." he stopped laughing and sighed. a deep one. tumingin siya sa malayo. "tell me, are you always this innocent?"

"you said it yourself." sagot ko sa kanya.

"i'm asking you." tinitigan na naman niya ako ulit. bigla ko rin naman iniwasan yun.

"kung alam ko, then i should've told you." umupo ako ulit sa tabi niya, but not too close to him. feeling ko na-miss kong makausap si Marco. bakit ba kasi ganito yung nararamdaman ko? okay naman yung dati ah.

"ano bang meron sa birthday mo bukas?" pag-iiba niya.

"party alangan." sagot ko. "punta ka." mahina kong sabi sa kanya. i really wanted him to go.

"a request or a command?" huh? "haha. oo, pupunta ako."

"truth or dare?" he asked.

o___________O?? <-- ako.

"truth or dare?" ulit niya.

"dare." sagot ko.

"kiss me."

"yuck. PERV!" pinalo ko siya ng malakas sa braso niya.

"aray!" napasigaw naman siya. "you brute."

"you perv!" asar ko naman. bigla na lang ako naging comfortable ulit sa kanya. basta iwasan mo lang ang mata niya. nakakamatay kasi. "are you a pervert?" haha. gusto ko kasi siyang kulitin ulit. i think i somehow missed his company.

he just shot me a deadly stare. "bet you are. haha." then i took a photo of him. haha. when i looked at it, nakakatawa ang itsura niya. naduling ata siya sa flash ng cam ko. malapit rin kasi ang mukha niya sa lens ng cam eh.

"what do you like most in a girl?" out of curiousity, i asked him.

"hmmm. her innocence." he answered and looked at me. i just raised a brow at him. "you?"

ako? na nga ba ang gusto ko sa isang lalaki? "i guess someone who didn't even meet my standards."

"teka...parang...ako ata yun ah. haha." tumawa siya sa sinabi niya. ako naman, i remained speechless. siya? what are the odds na siya nga yun? but i can't help not to smile at what he said. "kantahan mo nga ako." wow. utos? "bilis." wow naman. the way he said it parang alalay lang ah.

"what would you sing to her?" tiningnan niya ako ng may pagtataka. "to that girl." i made it clear.

~wish i could be

every little thing you wanted

all the time

wish i could be

every little thing you wanted

all the time, sometimes~

i was shocked, i never expected him to sing it. ba't feeling ko parang sa akin niya sinasabi yun? eh hindi naman ako yung gusto niya. alam ko ang song na yun. EVERY LITTLE THING ng DISWALLA. ang ganda rin pala ng boses ng lalaking 'to. katulad ko. haha.

"why that song?" i asked soon as he finished singing.

~but i've get

the strangest feeling

that you've gone away~

he sang the answer to my question. bakit parang patama talaga sa akin. i dared myself to look into his deep black eyes, and the moment i locked it with mine, i can't quite tell what i just saw in his eyes.

"you seem to be good at anything." i finally said as i cleared my mind.

"i sure am." he confidently said. tumayo siya and held out his hand to mine. i hesitate at first but then he gave a smile that made me want to grab it. sabay kameng naglakad pabalik ng room.

pagbalik namin sa room, as in lahat ng mata nasa amin. we just seemed to raise an eyebrow at them.

"is it official?" Jayne asked. but then it just brought confusion to the both of us.

"kayo na ba?" tanong naman ng isa kong classmate. pinagsasabi nila? then i trailed my eyes to where part exactly are they watching. nalaman ko na magkahawak pala kame ng kamay ni Marco.

as if in a matter of seconds, lahat ng dugo umakyat sa mukha ko. agad ko naman binitiwan yung pagkakahawak ng kamay niya sa akin. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ba't di ko napansin yun? waaaaaaaaaaaah ngayon pag-iisapan kame ng kung anu-ano ng mga classmates ko.

iniwan ko siyang nakatayo sa doorway at naglakad papunta sa chair ko. hiyang-hiya naman ako dun. i can't even look at Jayne. i buried my face in between the palms of my hands. kill me now please? i remained in that position until the bell rings.

*poke*

*poke*

*poke*

"uwi na." i rouse to see it was Marco who was poking me. wala na ang mga classmates ko. nakatulog pala ako?

"si Jayne?" tanong ko while i fix myself.

"pinapasabi niya na sa bahay niyo na lang kayo magkita." nauna na pala siya. hindi man lang ako hinintay. bakit andito pa si Marco?

"ba't ka pa andito?" tanong ko sa kanya habang inaayos ang gamit ko. nakatayo na siya. in fact, ready to go na.

"they played a trick on us." kinuwento niya yun while we were walking palabas ng gate. "need a lift?" he offered.

"wag na. kaya ko na." sabi ko.

"sige. ingat ka." i blushed but then smiled at him.

"thanks. ingat ka rin." then we parted our ways.

how can this be? baka naman nahuhulog na ako sa kanya. i liked the feeling of it but then it somehow scares me. i think i'm falling, but how fast? i hope it's not too fast. think he'll catch me?
