Simple yet Complicated

What??

Di ko natuloy sinasabi ko ng biglang may nagblindfold sa akin at hinila ako.

"What is happen...mmmm..." I uttered when as someone covers my mouth and pulls me.

Nagpumiglas naman ako kahit papano, pero yung kamay ko nakatali.

Arrggg..

I can hear Scarlet's voice, then all voices started to shriek.

Sobrang ingay.

Atleast alam ko na andito pa din kami sa school.

"Ok ladies and gentlemen, we are finally back. Nag enjoy ba kayo sa bands??" -Gab

Teka si ate Gab yun huh??

"Yes!" the crowd shouts back.

"Good, now lets go to the awaited game for the night. Please welcome back on stage the Royalties and the Hot&Cold prince." -Gab

The crowd gave a welcoming cheer.

"And now to start the game, in the span of half an hour. We abducted girls na sasali sa game. So here they are." -Gab

Abducted?? Kami ba yung tinuyukoy niya.

Pinalakad naman kami.

Narurinig ko lang.

"Gab what the are you thinking kidnapping them??" -Skye

"Chill ka lang Skye, wala naman nasaktan ehh." - Shin

Sa harap ng stage inalis yung blindfolds at pagkakatali sa amin.

Nung pagmulat ko ng mata ko, nakita ko na lang na sobrang dami ng ilaw na nakapat samin.

Malamang nasa stage na kami di ba??

Nung naka adjust na yung mata ko, tumingin ako sa iba kong kasama. Its me, Scarlet, Queen and ate Aria.

Nagkatinginan din kami nila kuya.

Nung nakita ni kuya Shin na isa ako sa mga nagalis ng blindfold.

"What the hell are you thinking Gab?? This is not a good prank." -Shin

"Asan na yung Chill ka lang, wala namang nasaktan." -Gab

"This is different now, you know what I mean." -Shin

"But the show must still go on, alangan naman itigil ko yung show di ba guys??" -Gab

The crowd shouts na tuloy tuloy tuloy.

Aangal pa dapat si kuya Shin ng...

"Ok you win Gab, this better be good." -Skye

Ate Gab just gave him a playful smile.

"Ok ipapaliwanag ko na ang mechanics ng game. Alam niyo ba ang paper dance guys??" -Gab

"Yes" -crowd

"Alam niyo naman pala, no need to explain it then. We will draw lots para malaman kung sino magkakapartner. Para walang madaya." -Gab

Nagdraw naman kami lahat ng lots.

Results:

Skye - Aria

Shin - ???

Kyle - Queen

Nathan - Stellar

Blaze. - Scarlet

"Oo nga pala, wala pang partner si Shin. Of course sino pa ba?? Eh di ako. Hahaha. Sorry girls, trabaho lang walang personalan." -Gab

"Ang daya." girls shouted.

Tumayo na kami sa harap ng newspaper and waited for the music to stop.

"Goodluck sa atin." sabi ko kay Nathan.

He is looking straight at me, then I noticed na sa likod ko pala siya nakatingin.

Kila Scarlet pala siya nakatingin.

"Sabihin mo na kasi sa kanya." I said.

"Huh??" -Nathan

"Kay Scarlet, she is the girl you are reffering too right??"

"Is it that obvious??" -Nathan

Tumigil yung music and we step inside the paper.

"Medyo, si Scarlet lang di nakakuha. Akala niya ako yung tinutukoy mo."

"Really?? Pasensya ka na, nadamay ka pa. Well hindi siya magiging si Scarlet pag nagets niyang siya nga yun." -Nathan

Lahat ng pairs naka lusot sa first round, and folded the newspaper into half.

"Gaano na katagal??"

"Di ko sure, I just woke up one day and I'm in love with her. Corny ko." -Nathan

I smiled and said "That is not corny, that's called being in love."

Natapos ang 2nd round at naalis si kuya Shin at ate Gab.

Magaway ba naman kasi kung sino bubuhat kanino.

"Thanks, mahirap nga lang kung one sided." -Nathan

"What are you saying, paano mo naman nalaman. malay mo may gusto din siya sayo."

"I doubt that, just look at them." Nathan said making me look at Scarlet and Blaze.

"What about them??" I asked innocently.

"Magkaibigan nga kayo ni Scar. Can't you see, how happy she is when looking at him??" -Nathan

3rd round

"What??"

I look at them closely again. And I saw a glimpse of it.

That smile of Scarlet is different from the usual one.

Its a girl's smile when she is looking at someone she likes.

At dahil magalaw ako, na out of balance kami ni Nathan, at nahulog ako. And we were out of the game just like that.

"Ok ka lang Stellar?? Sorry na out tuloy tayo." -Nathan

"Ok lang, ako yung malikot." I said as my eyes was still glued to Scarlet and Blaze.

I dont know why, but I felt a little bit hurt.

Dahil ba to sa pagkahulog ko?

Ehh bakit yung dibdib ko yung masakit??

I just stared at them some more.
