CRUSHBACK (Oneshot)

CRUSHBACK

Cordovales Asuncion.

He blends in with the crowd.
Someone na Hindi naman talaga noticeable, yet he stands out in his own way.
Cord has been my crush ever since I started my third year.
Not only is he my crush, but he's also one snob ass motherf*cker.
Yung tipong mala-artista, tss, kala mo naman sinong cute. Psh! Mas cute ako kesa sakanya noh! Hindi nga lang cinucrushback, sad.

I? I am Alia. No need the full name magiging Asuncion din naman ako sooner or later WAHAHAHAHA.
Yan tama yan sis, mag-assume ka at mangarap.

I'm not the type of girl na papansin sa mga lalake and that's probably one of the reasons that I don't have a boyfriend, the second reason would be, because of my high standards. (Narinig mo yun, Cord?
High standards, Pero ikaw crush ko! Ang swerte mo naman.)
So bale mataas sila pareho, mataas na pride at mataas na standards.
I never did anything para mapansin ako. But when it comes to Cord, I eat all my pride up. Grabe, ang sarap pala ng pride teh, yummy.

I've been trying to get notice by him for the past months. Halos lahat na, nag join ako ng  mga contests, pumasok sa finals ng quiz bee, sumali sa bawat Pa-games sa school, I even tried asking na magpapicture sa bawat event namin. Pero ano? Pero wala!

My friends also helped me out.
Since 1 year ahead ng grade si Cord ang hirap magtagpo ng landas namin, jusme!
Thanks to my ever loyal friends, nasasabihan nila ako kung asan si Cord at updated ako sa nangyayari sa buhay nya sa school (stalker ka girl?).

During the first month na may crush ako sakanya, I never did anything, kasi, hindi naman talaga ako ganun.
I don't like it that I'm begging for attention, for him to notice me.
Pero wala ei, bumigay din.

I wrote him letters na hindi Ko alam kung nababasa o natatanggap nya ba,
I also sometimes stare at him tas makikita ko na nakatingin din sya sa direksyon ko.
But anyways, there's this side na nagsasabing tigilan ko na si Cord.
I wasn't even really expecting him to love me back, I just wanted to catch his attention.
Ayoko ng love na pilit, besides, this isn't even really love.
It's just a crush.

So I stopped.
Hindi na ako nagpakaactive sa mga school activities na nakakahiya, I stopped writing letters to him, I stopped asking for a picture with him.

"Uy teh, nakita namin si Cord andun
naglalaro sa gym natin!"
One of my friends said, pero tumango lang ako.

I couldn't care about him anymore, bahala na sya.

Until...

"Miss wallet mo" a guy at the back of me said.

So I turned around to look at a guy, holding my wallet.

No. He wasn't Cord, Not that I was expecting it to be.
So I grabbed my wallet and thanked the guy.
He just smiled and left.
There was no spark, no slomotions, no life flashing before my eyes.

When that guy left, standing behind him was Cord.
Cord, as snob as ever, just ignored me then left.

Then nung paalis na ako may naapakan akong something na masakit pakshit.

I looked at it, it was a shiny gold object that somehow looks familiar to me. It was something sharp. A tower.

It must've been Cord who dropped it, parang may gantong nakasabit lagi sa phone nya ei( ahhh yun pala yung nakasabit sa phone nya).

I picked it up and son of a maderpakin betch-in. Eto yung keychain na ginawa at binenta ko nung foundation day.
So what? Bumili sya nun edi thank you, tss, not like I care.

Sa kakaisip kung ibabalik ko ba yung keychain buong araw, Minabut ko ng ibalik sakanya nung uwian.

"Riri, nakita mo ba si Cord?" Tanong ko sa isa sa mga kaibigan ko na kaklase nya.
